Our dinner. Taco meat, black Beans, rotel, onions, cilantro, cheese baked together. Served on cucumber slices with Greek yogurt. Yummy! I had that plus another ounce of the taco mix. Tummy is comfortably full and happy.

From my garden tonight! This is actually my husbands portion, mine was about 1/3 this size and had no potatoes.

Broiled flank steak marinated in balsamic vinegar & garlic. Snow peas sautéed in olive oil with green onions, garlic and ginger. Oven roasted root vegetables.

All of that looks so delicious! Nicely done

I take a short cut and used a prepared one and add to it...I use 1tbsp Wegmans Thai Peanut Sauce, 1tsp Reduced Sodium Soy, couple shakes of hot sauce and a touch of rice wine vinegar, I don't finish all of it but it's only 20cals. Not bad to me!

I'm gonna try to post the bariatric pal recipe I created so you can see the stats, I usually eat abt half maybe 3/4 of the sauce tho I could drink it, it's that yummy! Also I forgot I add sesame oil too but just a tiny bit bc it's powerful!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
