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.

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.

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!
