Hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin?



Recommended Posts

Always loved this 1951 catchy little tune by Hank Williams... And, these days sequestered at home feeling more like a 1950's homemaker (without the dress and heels, of course) with each day that passes by. Preparing three square meals daily with the dishes and pans in the sink to prove it! LOL. Actually, a nice change having hubby work from home for a spell meeting him for lunch in eat-in kitchen.

Anyone else feel like you are living the movie Groundhog day!??? I certainly do! Let's share some of our nutritious, healthy and fun favorites (and, permissible comfort foods during these trying times) keeping our spirits lifted and moving forward positively at any WLS stage. Variety is the spice of lock down days as we each pursue what works best for our body. One method or food choice plan does not fit all. Excited to see whatcha all got cookin'!?

Soooo here goes... A favorite Breakfast for my Weight Maintenance Stage is homemade rolled oats with apples, raisins, unsalted raw walnuts or pecans, a dash of cinnamon and brown sugar once a week. I like 1% milk over it, but wait to drink liquid after 30 minutes of digestion. That cinnamon infused milk is so delicious and so satisfying... I am usually full after ¾ to 1 cup shown here.

Easter dinner comprised of one lamb chop with mint apple jelly, roasted green Beans and ¼ baked white potato with crispy skin. Six banana wheels with a smug of natural Peanut Butter and peanuts on top for dessert. Was so excited to eat a baked potato and lamp chop in over 16 months... I forgot to take pictures! We did take pictures of our walk afterwards in the preserve behind our home. Easter basket for mother-in-law on lock down in her memory care facility. Any favorite Easter dinners out there to post?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
