My Lunch: A Pictorial Attempt To Show You Life Will Be Normal

  • Popular Post

If you consider eating Indian food normal that is :)

So if you're worrying you won't be able to eat or enjoy your food or be normal? Here's what I made for lunch today. Brown rice for the kids, ground beef curry, cucumber/tomato/Greek yogurt salad, palak paneer (spinach. with a homemade cheese). Apart from the rice, all good for us sleevers to eat.

I sometimes see people thinking they won't enjoy food, or that they can only have baked chicken and steamed vegetables. SO not true. I make Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Greek etc all the time.

What is true however, is that my two kids (23 and 13) and my husband and I all ate--and we finished about a fourth of the food you see here :)

Feel free to post pics of what you're enjoying today that is sleeve friendly.

I tell you what, he will definitely not know for tasting them! I can't tell the difference. We are going to try them with agave nectar this weekend. We tried stevia and it was a no go

Yellow squash with proscuitto as a side dish for pork ribs. Because you can never have too much pork.

Wow I love that is thread is still going strong! I've kept up my blog which has turned very recipe heavy. Lately I've done a lot of sugar free desserts etc on there but still have lots of easy cooking recipes to share. The URL is www.twosleevers.com. In addition to checking it out, if any of you would like to guest post a recipe, do let me know. Ersopher has been a regular contributor of yummi ness :) Below are a couple of things we made lately. Korean galbi made easy and chickpea brownies (best things ever!) with sugar free frosting that tastes like real food instead of a chemical sh$tstorm :)

OMG Gamergirl you look Amazing. I was only thinking about you and your husband the other day and wondering how you were going.

Thank you! My husband is unrecognizable. We look at his before and now pictures, and it doesn't even look like the same man. He's turned into a very skinny man. Such a wonderful journey.

I know the feeling my husband is now below his goal weight and looks like he was never big it's crazy. I still have about 46lb to go but know without a doubt it works, all I have to do is look at him. Great experience with fantastic rewards when we get to where we want to be.

Today I made Chocolate Coconut "Fudge" with chocolate protein powder. It ended up having 8 gms protein, 8 gms fat, and 7 gms net carbs. Not bad for a treat! And no cooking either, which makes it perfect. Interestingly, I think if you omitted the coconut, this would actually qualify as a soft food for post-surgery. Not bad eh?
