Food(s) you thought you loved...



Recommended Posts

I was just chatting with Carolina Girl about food we used to love.

B4band, one of my go to Snacks was this sandwich:

Dense, high Fiber, whole grain bread. You know, the ones that a loaf weighs enough to qualify as a workout weight?

Peanut Butter, jiffy, extra crunchy please.

Jam, preferably strawberry but any berry type worked.

Bologna, 2 slices.

Miracle whip on one slice of bread, Peanut Butter on the other, jam on PB and bologna on the miracle whipped side, press together. Large glass of 2% milk. Enjoy.

Now, I haven't had one of these in over 2 years, but I'll bet I still love it. So therefore, I won't go there but while I'm fantasizing about winning powerball, I can fantasize about my PBJB sandwich. :D

I have eaten hummus just fine - I think that I could get carried away with it because I need to eat like crackers or something with it - just not out of those little single serve packages. Applebees has a 500 calorie and under menu and its pretty good. 500 calories is a lot - but I only eat half of the serving and save the other half - so its 250 calories, which is better.

Are you on my fitness pal? On my fitness pal you log in your food and it calculates your calories. It might help you - I've also added the food in just to see how many calories before I eat it - so you could log your Applebees Green Goddess salad on there and see how many calories it is and then you can decide whether or not its worth it - or maybe you can just have half.

I would suggest having a diary for your daily intake of calories, at least at first. I had no idea how many calories I was consuming until I started logging my food on my fitness pal app. I hope that helps :)

Thanks for the tip about my fitness pal. That's really awesome. I didn't know that.

New item for me...

Last night/today I've been suffering from a bad headache/migraine. Been taking pills, coffee for caffeine, etc and nothing was helping. One of my old standbys was a coke. I used to drink them and they'd help. Even though I'm not supposed to have soda I'm desperate today. Could barely get through half of one - too sweet and doesn't taste good!

i used to be a big slushie, icee, soda drinker, now i find that anything with that much sugar is disgusting. my body also rejects most fried, sugary, and chemically processed foods. I do miss things from time to time, like sandwiches, sushi, bread, rice, but just thinking about how long and problematic it will be kills the craving mighty quick

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
