Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

So I had a fill this am - yeah (although honestly wasn't sure if I truly needed it - or if I just needed to have a little more discipline - the NP still recommended it though based on eating habits - so I didn't argue - after my anniversary next month I'm sure I won't be going as often any more and will have the chance to work on it then.

B: 1/3 c. plain nonfat greek yogurt

L: 1 c. roasted red pepper Soup w/ parmesan shreds

D: 2/3 c. butternut squash white bean chili, pureed with monterey jack shreds

S: might have some ff pudding later w/ dollop of cool whip

You could frost your 'cupcake' with the mashed potatoes - would be a fun twist on reality. :)

did you make the tequilla lime talapia yourself? Share the recipe please!!!!

hi bigbaby - have missed ya!

yes i do make it myself & use it on any kind of fish/shrimp etc. i'm bad w/recps but depending on how much i'm cooking i use the following ingredients:

shallot - diced

garlic - diced

chilies - diced (i leave the seed in - i like the heat)

limes - 1per person ; dish wise

chicken stock -

tequilla - usually a shot , i like don eduardo

* i saute' the above in olive oil - when they start to soften i add some chicken stock , juice of limes - at the end i add the tequilla and remove, so not to burn off all the tequilla.

i put this on any kind of grilled fish - pretty flavorful.

back from vaca - ate really what i wanted & still haven't gotten on the scale...LOL

yesterday -

b- lf raspberry yogurt w/kashi krunch Cereal

l- tuna wrap

d - 3oz lemon rosemary chicken w/about .5c warm veggie Pasta salad

s- 2 really big spoonfuls of blue bell vanilla bean:blush:

China - welcome!

TODAY:

B: 1/3 c. cream of wheat w/ pb & maple Syrup

S & L: well let's just say it is St Patty's day and I took these meals in liquid form - I then started feeling like I really needed something to help absorb said liquid and was with friends at a burger joint - shockingly they had NO band friendly food especially for someone who just had a fill so I unfortunately had a couple nachos - fortunately they stayed down

D: thinking I'll just have either Soup or a Protein Shake

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
