A Cinderella style transformation. It can be weight related or not but it’s usually about becoming more beautiful in some physical way.

Adding the term Glow Up to the “ick” list. Idk why exactly but mainly because it’s over used.

Super busy so I actually haven’t eaten as much as I normally would BUT here’s a realistic look at the pre meal snacks (while waiting for my meal). I didn’t really want any of these snacks so I kept switching until I found something good. I never did so I gave up😪

I need everyone to know that I was rushing this morning and tried to drain the excess liquid from a Greek yogurt and 90% of it fell out. There was no way I was opening another or taking a pic for this thread so I just ate an abnormally small portion despite my last post 🤣

That’s very sad to hear 😪. I only post highlights of the things I’m eating (that aren’t boring) and definitely not every meal because it would be 6-8 a day. I’m going to try to be more transparent and post the full meals I have (including drinks and snacks). I really hope no one is alienated by this thread. It is absolutely not the purpose to humble brag about how little is eaten. I don’t like unrealistic standards either. They aren’t helpful. I hope you decide to post more because representing all levels really matters especially for people who only see the small portions and think it’s the only “normal”. Come back please ❤️

Good tip and get well soon ❤️‍🩹

My meal sizes are all over the place TBH

Last of the batch cooked Turkey burgers Naked Turkey Burger with a schmear of goat cheese

Naked Turkey Burger

I spritz a little EVOO directly on the dumplings but they don’t really need it at all. The protein count was a lackluster 3 grams 🤣 which is why I added minced Turkey to the meal.

Air fried Vegetable Gyoza & Ground Turkey. I’m prepping two different meals but decided to eat these together.

They look amazing!

It could be a few things like lowered blood pressure or dehydration/electrolyte imbalance. Your best bet is to contact your doctor and let them know as soon as possible.

This looks so good!

Congratulations!

I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to make octopus shaped hotdogs for my kids when they were young!

Don’t over pack for the hospital and congratulations in advance!

Are those olives or blueberries?

Congratulations!!!

A lighter version of a regular menu item. I think the high calorie count is from the dressings (which I didn’t eat & the regular version was 3x the calories).

Salad! Salmon with a pre made mix called sweet kale: kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts etc. It comes with seed mix toppings of pepitas, sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. I think the included dressing is a creamy poppy seed blend (which I never eat) I used sesame oil and soy sauce to dress it. I almost made the mistake of adding croutons knowing that this is already a lot of chewing.I’m so glad I did not. 😆 Also a protein water I’ve been working on for the past 2 days. They have improved a lot in the last 5 years

I always have to buy 2 types of soy sauce for my family. I can only tolerate the low sodium version. I’ll definitely post when I make this dish!

I’m definitely trying this!

Avocado toast! 😋

Did your surgeon permanently remove those listed foods from your diet or for a short period? Week by week things will get better and you will eventually return to a normal routine but I understand completely. It is very hard giving up foods you like even for short periods of time. Hang in there! Glad you are doing well and recovering after the complications ❤️
