Don’t know what a doener kabab is. I’ll have to google it. Is a popular thing in Canada?

Two years post op VSG & still have significant restriction, which I’m grateful for

Indonesian Food
Spiced grilled chicken, Brussel Sprouts, Beef Ren Dang over rice

Regular sugar and AP flour and full fat butter all the way, hence the calorie count!
Verdict: filling was delicious, crust nice and flaky, but the crumble top was a teensy too sweet for me. The fam however had no complaints. They did have theirs with whipped cream though so maybe that improved the sweetness?
Anyhoo, I had equivalent of 1/4 a serving :
131 calories.

Hi everyone. I am new to this site & forum. My surgery is scheduled for Feb 8th! I started this process back in February of 2020 as far as meeting eligibility requirements. I’ve had my surgery rescheduled multiple times due to moving to another state and COVID. Hopefully no more changes! I am so excited to be going through this process and even more happy that I found this site and get to go through it with you guys!

Xoxo🙂

Ready as I'm going to be I guess. I had no pre-surgery diet to do. No colon cleanse. Been trying to be good this week while also eating all my favorites that I may miss in the near future. I know the thing I will miss most is my wine. The thing I won't miss most is hating my reflection when I look in the mirror. I started packing my bag but it's only 1 night (god willing) so I shouldn't need much.

Hello another for February 9th, sleeve.

Feb 10th for me

I finally got the call around 3:10 pm today that my insurance has approved my surgery and I am going in on Monday. I have to be there at 5:30 am. I am excited and terrified at the same time. My hubby is just dropping me off since there is a no visitor policy in place. No point in missing a days work.

Congrats on your surgery date!! It’s a life changer for sure...in a great way!!

If I could still eat ice cream (can’t since sleeve-makes me super nauseous) but if I could I’d eat a slice of that w homemade vanilla ice cream. Looks really good!

Yay!! Chubrub, kristieshannon and I are all PS Buddies!
So excited!! Just need to get my COVId test and it be a NEGATIVE!
@kristieshannon what is your surgery date?

I have Plastics greed, I want more 😩
And these threads are fueling this new obsession 😏

Wow great job! You look amazing. When was your surgery? Mine is in 5 days and I need to lose around 100.

Omg yuuuummmmmmyyyyyy
Did you make it regular or low sugar/carb ish?

Today's baking effort: Apple Pie with Walnut Crumble.
It's cooling off right now, so no one knows if its a success of not, bit it smells lovely.
I just calculated the nutrition info breakdown, and: 1 serving = 1/8 pie = 525 Calories.....!!!
Will let you know later if its any good....

Congrats on your surgery date!! It’s a life changer for sure...in a great way!!

Looks good. What is mock doener meat?

Awesome! Glad you’re doing well ❤️

I looked up what I was eating at 6 months, and for the 4 weeks immediately after my 6th month anniversary, my average daily range was anywhere from 500-750 cals a day, with NET carbs maxing out at 25g per day.
HOWEVER. At the 6th month mark I was 130-ish lbs, (and I'm, 5'2") so 500-700 cals for me would be a little different than someone who is bigger/taller (or smaller/shorter). Further, I wasn't constantly hungry, so being able to sustain this at the time would have been easier for me than for someone who was.
Whatever caloric level you are comfortable at, and able to maintain during weight loss phase (be it 700 or 1200 or whatever), so long as you are at a deficit, you'll find that you WILL lose weight (barring any medical conditions).
Good Luck!
