Bbq Season has started.... What will you eat?



Recommended Posts

I was so nervous to travel out of state for memorial weekend. Love to travel but being 2 months post op my first thought was "what the heck do I eat"? Now that I'm over that initial fear I'll opt for chicken, bunless burger and some (tossed) salad. What will you be eating?

2 1/2 years out. Been maintaining 10+ pounds below goal for 19 months. Moderation, rather than abstinence works for me.

MMMMMMMMmmmmm. Dead animal here, land or sea.

My favorite is flank steak with grilled onions and peppers, but tonight it's going to be salmon, salad and angry edamame.

Shrimp, scallops, chicken, burger, steak, sausages, hot dogs...

I usually skip any potato or macaroni salad because they fill me up so fast and make me feel crappy. Same with Buns. I do eat cole slaw and a bit of fruit, though, and three bean salad is one of my favorites. Grilled veggies make me very happy, especially asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, YUM.

I make an awesome Pasta salad that is super easy. I coarsely chop red pepper, carrots, broccoli, cucumber, and add grape tomatoes and very finely diced vidalia onion to al dente' bowtie Pasta. Stir in some quality mayo and dump in a bottle of Ken's Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing. A bit of garlic powder, pepper and the main ingredient? A good amount of Old Bay seasoning. I dislike old bay seasoning but it's exactly perfect for this recipe. To make this pasta salad more of a meal than a side, add in some cooked baby shrimp and artificial crab leg. Let it sit over night to let the flavors blend. You may have to add more vidalia dressing if it needs moistening.

I generally just eat the veggies and seafood out of the above salad but it's OH SO GOOD. My family loves it and it's the dish all my friends request at BBQs. I usually leave out the shrimp and crab when I take it places because people are weird about seafood, myself included.

I am not a huge sweets eater so while I will have an occasional cookie or cupcake, I don't HAVE to have it.

That said, no BBQ is complete without ice cold beer. And dead animal.

I'm still in the soft food phase, so we've grilled a few salmon filets and they've been amazing.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
