LULUC - that recipe looks amazing! You know I love me some wonton ravioli! Thats one of the amazing things about this band I could have 1-2 of those and not care (although I'd make sure my other meals that day were healthier) I was also thinking about trying it with low fat ricotta and instead of all the butter - use a little bit to make a roux, add evaporated skim milk and melt the romano or other cheese and oregano in it - getting all the flavor but not all the fat - we'll just have to see.

Today: - based on my diet today don't think I'm too tight now!

B: malted mocha Protein Shake

L: 1/2 beef & cheese enchilada w/ cheese sauce

S: 0.5 oz beef Jerky, 1 oz cheese and a couple chips

D: 1/4 c. chicken salad w/ dried cranberries, 2 tortilla rollup slices

S: 3 double stuff oreos :wink:

Are you trying to torture me? There is nothing low cal about that recipe- although my hubby really liked the sound of it.

oh i'm sorry - didn't mean to torture, kc and i have just played around w/the wonton wrappers (much less calories than regular pasta) making different kinds of ravioli.

i'm planning on making the sauce like the turkey/cranberry recp called for - going to try and make it a bit more calorie friendly...though i'll only be able to get maybe 3 down.

yesterday - pretty much all liquids; smoothies/protein drinks. had a hernia repair and couldn't eat in the am, then in the evening didn't feel so hot. today there are a bunch of Snacks i'm picking on:rolleyes:

Today was not a band day - I did not eat a single meal all day - instead I just grazed here and there (I was prepping for a party I am co-hosting and doing all the cooking for for 50 people sat night.)

Good news: I really didn't eat very much total (don't think) and at least I didn't graze on top of eating meals.

Bad news: I'm not exactly sure how much I ate and the food I did eat is not on any diet I know

Worse news: The party is tomorrow and I will still be cooking all day and then have the party food and alcohol during the night :(

i use muscle milk for chocolate Protein powder - its the only "chocolate" one i like.

Jay Robb brand had a really good Protein Powder that I bought on a website. The whey Protein tasted the best (I'd also tried egg white and soy). In case you're still looking for a good chocolate one. I've also added it to yogurts and stuff, gives them good flavor. (bought vanilla too, and I'm not much of a vanilla person, but it's not bad in stuff like yogurt.)

ya know - it's very hard for me to cook, and not taste everything (have some culinary school background) - i too am cooking away today and made & tested the prosciutto ravioli. i think it's going to be a hit; very yummy - and i am doing the cream sauce. good news; i'll be able to eat 2, bad news - i'll be drinking wine:)

frogstar - thanks for the recommendation!

b - pure Protein shake - took me a while to finish

s - some WW crackers - just about 4

l - Protein burger w/cheese from in-n-out...only ate 1/3 and got stuck and i slimed for what seemed like hours and finally came up. have been uncomfortable for most of day since then.

s - tried a pure Protein Shake - wasn't cooperating

d - nothing -

s - tried a pudding and stayed down.

I started to drinking Water in the pm and it went down fine. Am I too tight? Do you think my band slipped?? I am worried. Thanks in advance....oh - sorry this is a LONG ramble.

been stuck on a plateau for the last 2 weeks, so haven't been eating my best. But today I've had;

Breakfast 1 1/2 oz pumpkin seeds (addicitive)

Lunch 1 bowl (6oz) homeade vegt. soup

snack 3 pepperidge farm milano cookies

dinner probably left over chili with some cheese and fritos

It's not that I eat too much it's the choices I've been making that keep me at my weight. But rejoice I get a fill tomorrow.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
