SanDiegoUbermom-

When I feel that I can not eat ... I go on the shake thing till I can regroup. I agree with the others I put my portions in small containers EVEN for the week and just pull it out.

Just keep little packages of food around :)

angcal26, georgiagirl & jollygreen1955; Thank you all for responding.

Yes; planning ahead has always helped me in the past. Right now it’s just a little hard because I’m out of money & can’t do grocery shopping for just me…I can for the family, but not my stuff yet.

I’m digging through the freezer to see what meats I can cook up and have for later.

Chili sounds good too…georgiagirl what is your recipe for that?

I’ve see that I have some carrots, radishes, letuce too, just need to clean and cut up. There’s a salad right there.

Remember my cake and soda recipe; I’ll need to look through the pantry and see if I have cake mix. This way I’ll have my sweet tooth taken care of.

Today I’ve been good; walked so it earned me extra calories to work with.

1,392 (189 added for the walk, usual is 1200) and drank 8 glasses so far.

B/EAS Premium Protein/Choc w/2% milk = 270

L/Tuna Salad w/mayo, radish, sharp chdr chz, pinapple & lettuce = 300

s/Pineapple & 2 100 cal Snacks = 320 (who knew pineapple was so big in cal.)

D/Cheese burger; bun, American chz, thou drsng, pickles, onion, ketchup, A1 sauce, 93% lean/7% fat patty = 472

I really enjoyed the tuna salad w/a hint of pineapple

Dinner was great, at it slow because of the bun and it was great.

It was wonderful to eat and not snack all day.

Had 3 crystal lights today too – 30

Thank you again everyone for being there for me. I love this site!

I don't really have a recipe I go by. I usually just throw it together and it's usually different each time. I use black Beans instead of kidney beans most of the time. Lean ground beef, crushed tomatoes (because DH doesn't like chunks of tomatoes), onions, green bell peppers, a little cumin, chili powder, worcestershire sauce, etc. That's usually the basis of my chili. Sometimes I use the mexican tomatoes instead of crushed too. I found a pumpkin chili recipe here on LBT that was really good. Sorry I don't have an exact recipe for you.

Today:

B- LC slim fast

L- a stove top stuffing quick cup

S- instant cinnamon roll oatmeal

D- 1/2 bowl of chili from Beef-O-Brady's

I have uses salsa before too. If I don't have any onions or peppers in the house, I sometimes mix some salsa in with the tomatoes. It's a quick and easy way to add some flavor and heat.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
