Oh how I miss Chipotle!

Went to Chipotle last nite, it was amazing! I get the bowl, add meat, double black Beans, no rice, lettuce, peppers, onions, mild salsa, a little bit of corn salsa. It will last for days!

Had dinner at Morton's of Chicago tonight with hubby! No steak for me (but I had a bites if hubby's) I had crab cake. It was just nice to sit down at a very nice restaurant for the first time in a long time.

chipotle bowls are one of my favorites, never bother the tummy and they don't mind loading on the Beans instead of rice. Nummy nummy!!

Went to Morton's of Chicago last night. Unfortunately, no steak (well...1 small delicious bite of hubby's :-)) but had a delicious jumbo lump crab cake that was all crab and no filler. Most importantly I had an amazing date with my hubby for the first time in a while.

Made the mistake of making oatmeal raisin Cookies tonight for someone at work. I've had two and they're huge. I love to bake but I don't seem to have the willpower to say no.

My husband printed some higher Protein recipes off his bodybuilding website and we tried one tonight. It was delicious! :-)

Spicy Turkey Chili

5 oz extra lean ground turkey

3/4 cup black Beans

1/2 cup corn

1 packet McCormick's Chili seasoning

1/3 cup Tomato paste

1/3 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Seasonings to taste: 1/2 tbsp paprika, cumin, cayenne, pepper

Optional: cheese - goat, feta, or low fat mozzarella

Optional: diced jalapeños

1. Season turkey with seasonings

2. Spray a skillet w/cooking spray; add meat and cook over medium heat.

3. Cook meat till nearly 80% done, add chili seasoning and tomato paste; stir.

4. Add black beans (undrained), corn, basil, diced tomatoes, (and jalapeños if desired).

5. Reduce heat and cover; simmer 8-10 mins.

Serve w/cheese if desired.

Recipe is for one man-size serving. I tripled it so my husband could take some to work this week. I also separated some out for myself before adding the corn (my nutritionist warned me to avoid it). It was very tasty!!! :-)

I dont know why but i just cant eat black Beans. I love brown beans (pinto) i have only had black beans once and they were supposed to be cooked in a burrito and were hard. And tasteless. This was years ago.

My husband loves the black beans from el pollo loco they r BBQ black beans, everytime he goes there he gets that and the veggies. Just gotta try them again. Sometimes the first experience with something is not the best.

      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.
