Dinner last night: Shrimp cake, mexican quinoa salad, and peach freaking cobbler



Recommended Posts

Here's the shrimp cake recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/05/jalapeno-shrimp-cakes.html

Next time I'll leave jalapeno seeds in. It needed some more kick. I'll make it again, but it was pretty messy. Handling shrimp goop isn't the most appetizing. I'm glad my hubby wasn't around for the actual prepping part. I didn't pull out my food processor, an just used my Magic Bullet. This left some big chunks of shrimp, but I appreciated the texture difference. Nutrition info in recipe.

This quinoa salad was sooo goood: http://damndelicious.net/2014/04/09/one-pan-mexican-quinoa/

It'll definitely become a regular dinner dish. So flavorful! I did the math this morning and these are the numbers for the whole batch: 109 gr protein; 2,227 calories; 293 carbs; 36.5 gr fat. I estimated that my serving size (maybe 1/3 cup) is about a 32nd of the whole thing. Makes a lot of food!

Quest Bar Peach Cobbler: http://blog.questnutrition.com/cooking-clean-with-quest-peach-cobbler-with-fitmencook-and-blogilates/

It hit the spot perfectly, and it was so easy! Well after I burned and threw out the first Quest Bar. Lol. Next time I won't add sweetener to the filling. My Protein powder was sweet enough (Vanilla Body Fortress), and I didn't sweeten the crust mix either. I portioned it into four 4oz ramekins, used fat-free whipped cream instead of Greek yogurt, and it came out to 11 gr Protein and 110 cals each. Not too bad!

      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! 😞
