When to a Chinese buffet with my family today. I ate the dumpling filling only and took a couple of bites of the rest from plate one. As for plate two and three. I I just had the salad and the oranges. Thankfully my brother and sister ate the rest of my food so there was no wasting. I need to stop serving food with my eyes.

After a few minutes I ended up going to the bathroom and throwing up everything 😔

Another PSA: Dream Bagel Keto Everything Bagels (1 NET carb per bagel) are a solid thumbs down.

Came back from a bakery where I bought 6 Montreal style Bagels straight off the conveyor belt along with a tub of gourmet garlic & herb cream cheese for the fam. They smelled so good while they were eating it, that I finally busted out the Keto bagels in the freezer that Mr. bought for me a while back.

I was all excited cuz these Keto bagels smelled really good too out of the toaster oven...slathered some of cream cheese, took one bite and...

Keto Bagel Fail.

These were not enjoyable at all. The density & texture was all wrong and other than the "everything" flavouring sprinkled on top it was very bland.

I ended up scraping the cream cheese off and just eating that, which btw was DELICIOUS (though for $8.50 for about 1 cup, it better be!!!)

Edited to add: so not to waste the Keto bagels, I'm going to toast em up, make breadcrumbs out of them and use them for breading or burger filler...Le Sigh. This is what happens when I stray from salads....lol

And they look good too! I wouldn’t think they would taste horrible. I miss bagels ...

I clicked on the topic thinking it was about almonds or walnuts, you know, those kind of nuts lol

Im always finding surprises on here lmaooo 😂😂🤣🤣

Forgot my lunch this morning (super sad 😞) so I had to buy something from the downstairs cafe. Ordered a grilled chicken wrap on wheat knowing I wasn’t going to eat the wrap part.

Oh and here’s today’s chia pudding... layered strawberry and banana.

...this is actually a good idea. I've read that the enzyme with the anti-inflammatoriy properties are concentrated in the stem of the pineapple, so maybe I can boil that part...?

...will research some more, thanks for the tip!

Yes boil the skin and the fruit! That’s what she does! It’s delicious 😋

I've had some pretty good sx in the past

Am I the only one who read that as “I’ve had some pretty good s*x in the past”? Lord cleanse my mind 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyways as far as pineapple juice goes have either one of you @ms.sss @GreenTealael tried pineapple Water? When my step mom is bloated she will boil pineapple cinnamon sticks and cloves and then drink it cold, sometimes even hot. You can add a sweetener or not but it usually helps her. Not the same as being swollen from surgery but maybe it could work ?

Oh and @BayougirlMrsS you look hot!

Sweet soy glazed chicken from last nights dinner and chia pudding from this morning. Still haven’t had lunch today because I’m just too full.

I forgot that surgery can mess with your hormones/mentrual cycle

Yup, mines is definitely messed up. I woke up this morning to a surprise. The worst part of it was that I ran out of pads 🙄

My bf rushed to the store for me while I was in the shower so I wouldn't be late for this mornings meeting.

Hello cramps...

I haven't hear of a long term restriction as long as it fits your macros 💚

Looks soooooooooooo good. Do you like it better with the milk added?

Good to know! Thanks!

and yesssssss so much better 🤤 I used the fairlife fat free milk for extra Protein. I can see it being a dessert if a whole fat milk or coconut milk Is used, especially with a chocolate

Chia pudding day two Loved it so much much I bought smaller jars. This time I made a cinnamon, clove, and mashed banana mixture with milk. I topped it with apples, walnuts and more bananas.

I can see myself eating this for breakfast on the daily but does anyone know if there are restrictions on chia seeds for bariatric patients? On my list of what not to eat, chia seeds were listed but the restriction was only for the first month, from my understanding.

A big ass salad for lunch with Balsamic dressing. Barely able to put a dent in it because of Breakfast and all the Protein that’s in it.

My first attempt at chia pudding. I topped it off with some chopped walnuts. I would have added banana slices but I ran out. The texture will take me some time to get use to but it tastes good! I was inspired by @GreenTealael chia pudding pics. Thanks for the idea!

As requested...(LOL):

Went a little nuts at the bakery yesterday and bought a ridiculous amount of treats for no other reason other than seeing your treats and salivating over them, @MarvelGirl25!! Going to stop by BFF's place (AND Mom's place AND in-laws's place) tonite to offload some of this cuz there is no way we would be able to eat all of this deliciousness without passing out in sugar comas.

I didn't actually eat ANY of this yesterday for various reasons, but I did have 1/4 of a biscotti, 1 bite of the Kid's cannoli and 1 bite of Mr's egg tart this morning...it's a good thing we're getting rid of most of this later today! #tooYummyToHaveAround

This is a pic of what is still left from my bakery shopping spree (and currently sitting on my kitchen counter, calling out my name, lol):

Hahah omg!! You even have the same custard! Everything looks soooo good, especially that big cannoli. I gave the rest of the Desserts away too lol its better that away. 💔

Oh and you never need an invite, you're always welcome

Leftovers from yesterday’s dinner, roasted aji panca (Peruvian pepper) chicken and mashed potatoes. I was able to eat the chicken minus the skin and two bites of the mashed potatoes.

Hi,

I am still way over 300lb - did not have surgery et, but am currently losing some weight beforehand. I have lost over 50lb and have another 50 to go before I could have RNY.

Slowly but surely.....

50 pounds on your own? That's incredible! The time will come sooner than you think but so far you're rockin it!

@MarvelGirl25 : sounds like your fam is like ours...we don't do birthDAYS, we do birthWEEKS (and week long anniversaries too, lol)

...also these tarts/pastries made my stomach MOVE just now. #yumYumYumYum

...am already planning on asking Mr. to take us to the bakery after lunch today when he gets back from his run... #futureYUM

Lol yesssss that’s exactly what we do to, and everything is worth celebrating 🥳

Theres this Portuguese bakery near his moms house and they do the best desserts! That’s where everything came from. The custards are addicting! Show us what you pick up!

dinner + more belated bday celebrating at my bfs moms house yesterday.

Ate rice, and carne alentejana (Portuguese pork, potatoes and little necks). They insisted I grab some Brussel sprouts but I didn’t eat them since we know how that went last time. Oh and I also had a rumchata shot and a big bite of the pasteis de nata custard.

Surprisingly I still lost a pound this morning and I ate over 1000 calories last night.

Can anyone eat 2 eggs in one sitting. How many months out were you?

I can eat 1 1/2 boiled eggs and I’m almost 6 months post op. Some mornings I can do two but that’s only if I’m super hungry
