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.

Wow, I thought my food choices would be boring and plain. Glad to see that once I had the surgery I can look forward to some tasty meals.

I was concerned about that as well and it has not turned out to be true. I think that's part of why I post about food, different recipes etc. so much.

It's very possible to cook good, fresh, tasty, easy food that is sleeve friendly.

People focus on what they CAN'T have. The fact is, if we focus on what we CAN have, it's quite nice to think we might be able to lose weight while eating beef, fish, chicken, pork, shrimp, lobster...not to mention lots of lovely, healthy vegetables.

You may have to learn different recipes, you may have to learn how to cook, or order from restaurants, but so much is possible with what we're encouraged to eat.

Jumbo king prawns with zucchini and red pepper in balsamic vinegar glaze

Love a good old meat feast.. Looks divine!!

Okay my lunch. Is an attempt to show you how to make the best of a bad situation. Restaurant in tiny airport. Choices are salad, fried fish and burgers and a seafood bisque. I can't do raw veggies yet and can't eat a burger patty. It goes down too hard

So I ordered the seafood bisque and I'm basically fishing out (har har) the fish and leaving the potatoes and cream behind. Sometimes we just have to adjust right?

Scrambled egg and bacon

Ok, some might think this is gross and I forgot to take a picture. Lunch was a bunless hotdog. I cut up a turkey hotdog and added mustard, sauerkraut, chili (homemade) and 2% Colby Jack cheese.

My lunch today was 3 baked chicken wings with home-made orange sauce. Sorry I ate it before I saw this post, so no pic lol
