The cake is beautiful!!
I’m not sure on the whole no one eats cake anymore. We however did cupcakes instead of a cake (less having to cut and serve)

@ms.sss
You will love this.

From my sons grad food spread. What’s funny is I never did eat anything bc I was so busy til everyone left and so by then all I got to eat was some guacamole and some cucumbers with ranch dip.

My daughter’s High School graduation cake. After the party we threw away 1/2 of it instead of eating everything. I’m noticing that cake isn’t a big thing with anyone I know anymore. Anyone else noticed Desserts are being left uneaten?

The Kid made an epic charcuterie board the other day which i tried to copy this morning in mini-version (need to use up all the stuff she bought)
i haven't eaten any of it cuz im not hungry yet and the rest of the fam are still in bed, so it's sitting in the fridge for later. also made some foccacia dough that is proofing in the the fridge as well for tomorrow, AND i butchered a pork shoulder which is marinating for BBQ. busy morning, eh? now its time to veg on the couch with reruns of Top Chef.
the mini charcuterie!
891 calories for it all.

Hey!! I also live in H Town!!

Hi! I am 51 and having a revision from lap band to RNY on April 3. I’d like to hear from someone my age or older… how did your surgery go? Do you think age makes a difference?

Breakfast sandwich (eggs and vegan sausage). I only ate 75% of it, then began to feel nauseous. Idk if it was the eggs (can’t always handle them) or the high fat macros , hormones or what but I won’t repeat this meal anytime soon.

woke up at the crack of dawn this morning to get to a 6am hot yoga class...got home FAMISHED and fixed myself ½ a bagel and leftover asparagus (ate it all) around 8am.
then got hungry again just now (12:30pm) and made this avocado-and-everything-bagel-seasoning-and sumac open faced sandwich with the other ½ of the bagel from this morning. ate it all!! soooo good 😊
ASIDE: tried on a pair of shorts i used to wear last year when i was 4 lbs LIGHTER than i am now, and they are ridiculously too big on my waist. Lesson: the number on the scale means much less than your measurements. and the number of calories you consume and its effects cannot be translated across everyone. i can easily consume 2500+ calories a day because i exercise like a fiend.. so when ur nutritionist or some well meaning BP member tells you how many calories you should be consuming (or advise on a general macro breakdown) remember that the "sweet spot" is highly individualized and varies HUMUNGOUSLY from person to person. find YOUR own sweet spot and work it from there, cuz no one knows your body better than you.
sorry...im feeling very "you-go-girl!" at the moment and feel like i need to inspire lol. working out does that to me lolololzzzzz. 😂😂😂

No no bun.

Really really good chicken tender and fries in DC. Usually tenders have too much breading fir my tastes but these were super lightly battered.

Hi there!
My first contribution to this thread, I have been silently getting inspiration from all the yummy food pics y’all post. 4.5 months out, here’s my dinner for today (also my post leg workout meal):
Homemade Teriyaki chicken, 2 tsps white rice, broccolini. Ate the whole thing (around 229 calories)

Small and thick—not super thick and -JUICY!!. I don’t like thin Pattie’s.
I like it with a slice of American cheese on lettuce. Yummm

Yuummmmm (drool) food porn indeed!!

some food porn for your viewing pleasure!
i always always take pics of my food but haven't been posting much of them as i used to.
here is a sample of what i've been eating the past couple weeks!
        

That cheesecake @GreenTealael looks amazing. Yum! I round up the calories & down the Protein. I also call fluids in Soup, etc. & what I drink to swallow my meds bonus fluids & don’t count them either. Lol!
My oven isn’t working properly. Waaah! Interestingly it worked fine on a Sunday then three days later after the electrical company turned off our power for 8 hrs it didn’t. Hhmmm?? The top element heats. The bottom element heats but turn on the fan & nothing, no heat. Have to go back to old school non fan baking or call the service team to come out. Gracious knows how much the call out alone will cost. Service call-outs have got ridiculously expensive. Are they crazy in the US too?

cheese quesadilla. I overestimated the amount of cheese because I didn’t measure it ahead of time. Does anyone else overestimate calories to be safe?

Homemade Basque cheesecake (sugar free/keto) each slice is around 275 cals

It’s always Soup time @GreenTealael & yours looks yummy.
Did another expedition into the depths of my freezer yesterday & found minced beef so I made rissoles with a little gravy. 500g gave me 6 meals of which I froze 5. Didn’t remember to take a pxt until an hour after they were in the freezer so they’re partially frozen in the pxt.

Is it Soup time yet? chicken soup w/carrots, quinoa & ginger
