It's SO yummy and easy!!

1 package boneless skinless chicken

1 bottle Russian Dressing

1 packet dry onion Soup mix

1 jar apricot preservers

Spray baking dish. Place chicken down, cover in dry onion soup mix, drop spoonfuls of apricot preserves over each piece then spread over all the chicken. Pour Russian dressing over the too, cover, and bake for 1 hour at 350.

For the spaghetti squash I just cut it in half, scoop out seeds and pulp, spread 2 tbs olive oil all over inside and out. Place face down on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour at 350. Once finished, allowed to cool for about 5-10 min then take a fork and "string" the inside of it out to make your "spaghetti noodles".

That was a major fail. Return to sender 5 mins after eating. I think i ate too fast or maybe it was the rice. Me and rice don't get along too well. DOS:358 CW:270 SD:1/28/13

Jerz, I know we aren't supposed to have much rice. I find if the rice is moist day in sauce and I eat small bites and chew up I can eat a little here and there. I love rice so I didn't want to give it up all together. Good luck on your journey to a new you!!

Fish chowder:

1/4 medium onion chopped

1 1/2 tbsp of butter

2 small red potatoes cut into chunks

1/2lb of cod' date='haddock,scrod (any white fish will work)

Salt/pepper

1 tbsp of Thyme

Bay leaf

1 5oz can of 2% evaporated milk

1 1/2 cups of milk (I use 1% but skim works too)

1 8oz bottle of clam juice

Sweat onions in butter until translucent. Add potatoes and clam juice. Add Water if needed until potatoes are covered. Add thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Let summer covered for about 10min. Lay fish on top and cover again. Cook for another 10min. Add evaporated milk and regular milk and simmer for about another 5-10 min. Stir gently so you don't break the fish up too much. Season with salt/pepper to taste. Enjoy!!

I have to mention this is always better the next day. And I get about 4-5 my size servings out if it. If your cooking it for your family I would maybe double the recipe except for the clam juice.

It depends on how strict your pre-op diet is. I didn't have one at all, so I can't answer your question with total honesty. I'm sorry! Google Russian dressing chicken nutrition stats then compare it to your diet plan. I couldn't imagine it being too far off of what the diet is though. I used the boneless skinless tenders and it only came out to like 103 cals, 16 carbs, and 23 grams of Protein per tender. That's completely fine according to my docs post op diet.

You know u can get something besides the footy tootie, they just subtract the cost of that from what u order. I get those all the time too.. For each family member ! Went the other day and got steak tips with sautéed mushrooms and onions, it also came with pancakes, 2 eggs, hash browns and my husband ate all the food except about 4 steak tips and a bite of mushrooms and onion. Had the coupon and they took $7.50 off the bill to replace the free rooty tooty, so we only paid like $3 !

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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!
