I weighed 165 this morning so I'm up 1.5 lbs., now when I deduct for the carb bloat I'm all good!

Bandster chips, I don't care if you hate tofu try these! I told Robin I was eating it and she was fine, too. Pure Protein, healthy fat & very low carb

Bandster chips

High-protein, extra firm tofu (Trader Joe's)

Olive oil

Garlic salt

Pepper

Slice 1/6 or so of the block of tofu VERY THIN like a potato chip (about 15 "chips"). Blot dry with paper toweling. Heat oil and add tofu slices, fry until golden brown and crispy, turning at least once. Drain of paper towel. Sprinkle with garlic salt & pepper while cooking or cooling.

15 chips is a HUGE serving, you will definately be full on it! Goes down like chips or crackers, but is nice and dense so stays in the pouch a long time. Try it!!

Hi Everyone!

Riley, I used to be a vegan so I ate a lot of tofu. When I made it fried like you're suggesting, I ate it like french toast and put a bit of sugar free Syrup on it. YUM!

I had an interesting day today. Picked up Zach's girlfriend at SFO, then we drove down to Half Moon Bay to walk around and have lunch. We went to my favorite organic cafe. I split my lunch with my son. I wasn't full when I finished which was great. On the way home we ordered a Zachary's pizza. I ate one slice and made a salad.< /p>

Tomorrow heading to Napa for the day. Probably lunch in Calistoga at my fav place where they have great salads.

food today:

B. 3 oz turkey breast from Thanksgiving

L. 1 very small chicken enchilada, 1 T black Beans, 1 T rice

D. 1 slice pizza, bowl of salad (I only eat a piece of pizza when Zach is home visiting which is once or twice a year. He won't be home again till after surgery so I'm delighted I had a piece so I won't think about ordering before surgery)

All of my food was planned. No snacking, lots of walking.

I'm hoping the scale goes down in the morning. I think I'll get up early and walk on the treadmill before we go to Napa.

We can do this girls... and John. :biggrin:

I am up for walking in Vallejo on Saturday - are we doing the walk we did before? What time are we meeting? I will check with my parents to see if they can watch my kids, but it shouldn't be a problem. Wanna carpool Maria and Heather?

I hear you Riley - the guy keeps e-mailing me at least twice a day - wants to see me again and overdoes it with the compliments etc. I am getting ready to let him know I am not looking for a 24/7 boyfriend - he is freaking me out. He doesn't want to date someone who is dating other guys too - well I'm not at the moment but am not ready to be in an exclusive relationship with him for sure - I hardly know him.

I am home sick today - woke up with a bad headache and way too tired - I stayed up until 10:30 last night waiting for my boys to get home - my brother took them to the IMAX Theater last night to see Avatar in 3-D. Taran didn't want to go - so I dyed my mom's hair and she helped my Dad put away their Christmas decorations and tree. We took ours down the day after Christmas as I couldn't stand the clutter.

I tried to eat half a beef enchilada last night for dinner, but ate a couple of bites of garlic bread first and ended up seriously pbing everything up. I need a slap upside my head - and a visit with my girls (and John).

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
