steamed broccoli with cheese. Spinach...

You know I found TONS of good recipes on Bariatric Eating. com

and have made 2 different kind of the quiche's and then made spinach dip yesterday and ate it with cheese "crackers".

They are just crackers made of cheese and that's it. So less than 1 carb and tons of protein!

I grated some parmesan, asiago, and romano cheese and then put a small amount (like as if I was making cookies) onto parchment paper on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for 6 min or so at 350 degrees. Good alone or with dip. DELICIOUS!

Really, I have been eating such small amounts, I rarely have a "side", but fill up on the fish or turkey roll or ground turkey, then I will snack on cheeses or veggies another time....

Mashed up cauliflower is good. cook it and mash it up and you can put cream cheese on it or sour cream or just butter or I use some healthy

margarine. Sorry but the name escapes me at the moment and I am out of it.

Tilapia is a really good fish and doesn't have a fishy taste at all - it's a white fish. We either squeeze lemon or lime on top with a little lemon pepper, then put slices on top, wrap it in foil and grill it - only takes about 6 minutes or so.

Also, I spray Pam Olive Oil in a skillet, sprinkle with lemon pepper and cook it - about 3 minutes per side - then serve with veggies.

I loved grilled salmon, too. Sam's Club has some frozen salmon that is blackened, indivdiually frozen, and is very tasty.

My favorite fish is swai. It's available at Kroger's in individual ( 4 oz ) servings for about $1. I prepare it a number of different ways. I've coated it with an egg wash, whole wheat panko and parmesan cheese and fried it in the skillet. I've coated it with egg white and a light dusting of flour and cornmeal and fried it in the skillet. I've spread it with a teaspoon or so of Dijonaisse and baked or broiled it in my toaster oven. It has a very mild taste and is a perfect fish for someone that doesn't really like fish and is trying to add it to their diet.

I'd never heard of this fish before, so I looked it up. Sounds delish! Here's something from Consumer Reports about it. How cool! Thanks for sharing, I would never have known. :)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
