Coconut red lentil curry, tandoori chicken with cucumber cilantro raita and mango chutney....yumm- lots of flavor! Love Trader Joe's mango chutney- only 7 carbs per Tbsp, versus most at 20g carbs per Tbsp!

I'll send you my cell so next time you can invite me :) Looks yummy! Did you make it all?

My husband made chicken biryani tonight for my dad who is visiting. Pre-op that was my fav dish but we can't eat the rice and the chicken by itself is dry. I think I shed a tear as I watched my husband throw away the rest of the rice :(

If you're in the Seattle area, come on over! :) I made all of it except the tandoori chicken- that I bought from costco all prepared, boneless chicken breasts, very moist and so delish! It only takes 3 1/2 min in the microwave for the whole thing and 2 oz gives you 11g Protein. It's Sukhi's authentic Indian cuisine if anyone is looking for it. I love chicken biryani as well- Indian food is one of my comfort foods. Strange since I didn't really have it until college- but a good chicken tikka masala makes my toes curl with pleasure! Cooking Biryani for your dad...are you of Indian descent or just love the food like me? :)

I've found that once in costco and could never find it again. Loved it! I was born in India and moved here when I was 20. :)

I thought I'd be giving up the pleasure of Indian food post-sleeve, in fact, it was my last food funeral meal before my pre-op diet.

Glad to see that isn't true! Are you able to handle spicy (hot) food still? It's my faaaaave!

how long did you have to wait to eat Indian food, especially spicy Indian food? I'm 23 days post op.

I'm indian so of course, I didn't wait at all. I ate it as soon as I could eat and had NO trouble. Nor did my husband who is white and used to eating Indian food. I will say that he is having a little trouble if it is very spicy, but most Indian food in this county is not that spicy anyway :P

i suggest if it sounds good, have it.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
