I laughed way too much at this ?

Nope ? I don’t like poultry (I will eat chicken and turkey because of easy access) but I prefer lamb, goat, deer and lastly bees buffalo if I eat meat other wise I’d just be an ovo lacto pescatarian ?

It’s my absolute favorite protein followed by goat and deer.

Lamb stew w/ sweet potatoes, carrots & couscous. I was able to score the lamb on a super deep sale at Lidl so I’ll eat this for the next few days. ?

?Taught one of my kids how to make orange chicken. No cals we’re tracked because although it’s homemade it required real sugar which I didn’t measure. I had mine over wilted lettuce.
Ugh ? and yes but apparently the Wrong Carolina, lol. I came here for fair weather, no luck.You look very chic in this terrible cold snapThis is definitely the right place for this ?Ok I saw lamb so I’m booking my flight right now, please meat me at the airport ???it seems like such a little thing but giving up foods is hard. Did the dietitian have suggestions or substitutes? (And for what it’s worth I *could* eat granola in my yogurt at this point but I choose nuts instead for the crunchy texture)1000% agree also1000% agree as usualMy surgeon and Smoking hot PA also warned about years 3-5 where weight gain usually start. They just wanted me to know to be prepared. It helped to know what could happen so I could try to limit the amount. But they also warned me that almost no one stays at their lowest weight after WLS so not to chase it. That help much more.Confession: I will almost always choose dessert over food when eating at a restaurant. But I concur, I am also not finding great dining options in the Carolinas for us, but I’m also burnt out on cooking.Congratulations! Speedy recovery ❤️Teriyaki (turkey) meatballs ? I had a serving or 1/3 the amount tracked (6 pieces: ~206 cal, 15g protein, 12g of net carbs)
I made two last week!
1000% agree. I’m more likely to get multiple drinks while out for long periods vs food. I even started leaving bottles of SF iced tea in my car and if I randomly head to my trunk my kids get annoyed because it means I have no plans to stop at Starbucks like I promised ?I’ll join! I’m always game for fasting ❤️Whenever I feel like I’m off plan for too long, I meal prep (vs pouch reset). Having the foods ready and available makes it hard to justify going out if my way for other foods. You can definitely get back on track anytime you want. Good luck ❤️Amazing progress, Congratulations!Congratulations!Congratulations!
