And see the stuff @@Dub is posting? THAT'S how post WLS peeps should eat.

Thanks.

These are all pics of stuff I've grilled over the past year.

My grilling fun can still be had.....just going to keep it dialed in on good stuff. I will occasionally grill pizza which is freaking insanely tasty. I've got to figure out less carby crust sources. There are some recipes for low carb dough that would make it great......especially if I lay off the calorie dense cheeses and load it with the mushrooms, onions and olives that I really enjoy the most.

That was a delight to look at. What spices do you put on your broccoli? What do you use on veggies broiled in oven?

Spices.

What spices ?

I use a lot of stuff.....depends mainly on what the entree is....there are Oriental, Tex-Mex, seafoodish and other directions I'll go in.

For a straightforward all purpose rub this stuff is outstanding. Simply spray your vegetables with olive oil and dust lightly with this:

I love to add either of these to omelettes. Killer flavors....especially with jalapeño & shrooms.

Also great in eggs, on vegetables and in soup:

@@Dub, please stop! I can't take any more. I think I just drooled all over my phone.

Can you come grill for me?

Yeah, girl. I've got a grill that travels somewhere out in the garage. I may show up wearing a bedsheets 'cause I truly have divested myself of most of my clothes.

I gotta be back by 6:45 am Tuesday, though. You see, I have this rather important surgical appointment to keep.

I want some, too.

Bad.

Instead, I just had a serving of unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein.....with some Mrs Dash.

It's the first I've tried of this. Truly exceptional. I feel like I now have a secret weapon to survive the liquid phase of things.

Excellent product.

Dang..Someone here is a master barbecue chef. We should enter you into a BBQ cooking competition. Summer has been great for outdoor cooking. I'm going to miss it in the winter. I give it up people that BBQ year round...Too cold for me.

@@Babbs Ive just been so hungry lately, carbs is just so easy. Whether it be Pasta, potatoes or Beans. My dr. suggested cream of wheat once I started mushy foods. I get my necessary Proteins from eating and Isopure shakes. When do you think I can eat a little bit of brown rice? I havent had any problems chewing, swallowing or keeping things down. I feel like I can eat anything. I can finally start on salads tomorrow. It says not to eat shrimp until the following week but I snuck a few in when I ate Pho 2 weeks ago. However, I noticed I put on 2 lbs when I was eating the pasta from ramen noodles, pho, etc. Your input would be grately appreciated.

Yeah, you need to stay away from the Pasta and rice and concentrate on lean meats, legumes, seafood and veggies. Pasta and rice are not giving you any nutritional value at this stage with as little room you have in your tummy.

Refried Beans, black Beans, eggs, chicken, shrimp, crab, fish and tuna are good examples of protien sources you can try as soon as you are cleared to. Those will keep you fuller longer, too. All that pasta and stuff doesn't keep you satiated like dense protien will.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
