lunch today, some left over chick peas from the kabob place we tried last night(sooo yummy btw) and two of my fav Serrano ham & Manchego cheese roll ups! I almost finished! I find these little tiny bowls keep me on the right path, they are 1/2c, so I try to fill it half way with a "side" like almonds, berries, veggies or salad then try not to eat it all ;) Usually I can't because I eat my Protein in most of it's entirety first! And yes that's a Gerber baby spoon I stole from my kids, regular make my bowls tip over lololol! I'm really enjoying making my tiny lunches interesting!

I love the little bowls. I use them all the time. It really helps me not over serve myself (and as a result stuff myself).


I have moved all of my full size bowls and plates to the way back of my cupboards. I had friends over last weekend, and served lunch on my salad plates. Haha - it's good for everyone I think.

My picture attempt is not worthy of the taste!!! One bowl is one serving! :)

Avocado and Crab salad

I know this was a while ago, but can I have a recipe?

That looks abt what I can eat! I also sometimes find the amt I can eat is not consistent even with the same meal. I do know if I wait longer than a half hour to drink I am not hungry for much longer, tho it makes it hard to get my liquids in...so I try to only wait longest after lunch.< /p>

Then this is my lunch today one egg made into egg salad with 1 TBSP light mayo and baby carrots with light ranch, I ate it all :)

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
