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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
