Anyone else use an Instant Pot or pressure cooker?



Recommended Posts

I love my instant pot and make healthy nutritious meals in minutes. Love a good Soup or stew.. Or frozen chicken breast to fork shreddable in 20 Mins. The speed in which I can cook good for me meals has helped curb the urge to order take out many a time. Just curious if others have found a pressure cooker beneficial in the weight loss journey.

I just got an IP two days ago. I'm planning on doing some chicken cacciatore in it tonight.

Dried Beans are very nutritious when cooked...a pressure cooker makes VERY short work of them. 45 minutes total, instead of hours of soaking and then more hours of cooking.

Holy cow!! A few years ago my hubby ordered a pressure cooker. I was completely against it. I'd had a previous patient who experienced burns on over 80 % of his face and on his arms from one. Fast forward to today- couldn't live without it!. Ours is electric, no worries of explosions and the meals I can make for a family on the run are amazing and so fast and good! Can literally toss frozen chicken breasts, Beans, rice and extra veggies, seasoning and some broth in for thirty minutes and have a magnificent meal.

And the pulled pork from it- wow! Put it in a bowl with some of the "juice-liquid" and use a hand mixer to "pull" it. Takes all of four minutes.

      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! 😞
