So I know lots of you can't do steak. But for those that can, you should try this.

I found it in the freezer section at Walmart. I try lots of fully cooked frozen meat (mostly Tyson) because of the convenience and this one is my new fave. It's really tender and well seasoned. I made lettuce wrapped steak tacos tonight. So good. Each 3 oz serving has 150 calories and 18g Protein. Try it and let me know what you think.

I'm Down about 50 pounds from my pre- surgery weight and while I know I've lost some inches from my waist, my tummy is still as round as ever. I still have 85 lbs to go, though. If anyone else has more pics, I'd love to see 'em.

They're actually too big to bunch right now. I need new panties, hopefully not from Lane Bryant.

Also, I have read lots of your posts.
CBT, can't wait to see your new post op pic tomorrow.
Mrs. RRn, looking forward to your nine month update.
Keep posting those pics, Ladies. Thy are truly inspiring to us newbies.

I can't stand when people put a random apostrophe in a word when they really just needed an "s." Example: I ate two Protein bar's. Drives me nuts. My other pet peeve is the word "irregardless." I am kind of a grammar Nazi, though, and that drives my husband nuts.
Oh Well!

Thanks for your replies. I have also found that my weight goes up 1-2 lbs during my TOM. So frustrating. But I have seen other posts from you guys and you have had great success. So I guess I'll just roll with it and try not to get my panties in a bunch.

I eat at Chipotle probably once per week. I get a burrito bowl with double meat (usually steak and chicken), fajita veggies, pico, green salsa, lettuce, and cheese, and sometimes I add plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. So yummy and I usually get four meals out of it which is great for my 12 hour night shifts.

Only 60 calories and 6 carbs. Good for those like me that need a little chocolate in your life.

Okay. So I just watched the Penny episode today. All I can say is "wow!" What a waste and could she be any more in denial. She makes excuses like they re going out of style. I just hope that she is not beyond help, but it sure seems that way. Some of the other stories made me sad. She made me mad.

I am in the middle of a love affair with Quest chocolate chip cookie dough bars. I heat them for 10-15 seconds and add a dab of fat free reddi whip and I eat with a spoon really slowly. It's like a warm chocolate chip cookie. Best part of my night.

So, I'm traveling to Boston in a few months. I'll be in the Longwopd Medical area. Do any of you Bostonians know of any places to eat that are yummy, healthy, and inexpensive.

I was also 253 on the day of surgery. Things have been going a bit slow, but I hope to have similar success.

No need to credit me. I actually got the recipe from here:
http://greatist.com/health/pumpkin-spice-steel-cut-oatmeal-healthy-recipe
I did make some adaptations, though. I used a full cup of pumpkin purée (I really wanted to taste the pumpkin) and omitted the maple Syrup and added 1/4 cup of granular Splenda (use whatever you like to sweeten). I also used two teaspoons of vanilla extract. It still was not very sweet, so if you like it sweet you'll need to add more sweetener to your bowl when it's done. I cooked it in.a crockpot (with a slow cooker liner) overnight. Super easy clean up. I took it out, put a new liner in and made a roast right after. I ate it with half a container of vanilla Greek yogurt ( to bump up the protein) and a sprinkle of chopped pecans. It made 12 - 2.75 oz servings (the perfect size since I had it with yogurt) or 8 - 4oz servings.
the stats for the oatmeal alone ( 2.75 oz serving) with my tweaks to the recipe are:
Calories: 69
Fat; 1.1
Carbs 12.1
Fiber: 1.8
Sugars: 2
Protein : 2.5
Lastly, this morning, I portioned out the remainder of the oatmeal and rolled it in balls and stuck them in some freezer bags. When I'm ready, I'll pull out a ball and nuke it with a splash of milk or Water. Voila, instant oatmeal.

I love the Surgeon on the show. He does not accept their excuses and tells them the truth. I really like to see his reaction when they tell him that the weight they gained is Water weight. He told one girl that she would have had to drink 300 gallons of water to gain the 17 lbs that she put on. I like that he calls it like he sees it
