For me and Gucci (my Chinese crested): grilled Skate wings, grilled Brussel sprouts with nutritional yeast, homemade apple sauce. Yum

I've been having my annual asparagus festival. It includes many asparagus omelets. Yours, ISG, is much like mine, but I do feta with Greek oregano rather than goat. After decades of trying to acquire a taste for the latter, it failed, not even the fresh, creamy types. I can't get past what is to me the barnyard fragrance.

The store where I do most of my shopping ran its good, early course. The asparagus now comes in with appallingly thick stems, perhaps as bad as 2/3" diameter. I'm not fond of gnawing wood, so I've transferred my affections to the nearby farmers' market on a more frequent basis. Asparagus, like eggs and cheese, is a reason to live.

Have you tried them grilled or roasted with a sprinkling of nutritional yeast and crushed garlic??? Yummmmyyyy. My daughter(33yrs) and I eat them as a snack.

The roasted nutritional yeast tastes like toasty cheese.--and it adds 8gr of Protein

I buy it at my area health food store--bulk. I can get a quart for about $5.

Amazon and Walmart sell it, but as a seasoning, therefore much more expensive.

Happy hunting! It is a wonderful find.

We had pizza tonight; I had the toppings only (actually didn't finish all of it) and I ordered two meatballs; ate half of one. Didn't have much today. Breakfast was a one egg cheese omelette and I tried bacon today (1 piece). It went well :)

I was busy preparing for Memorial Picnic tomorrow with family. Had lots of cooking to do. Made a macaroni BLT salad (new recipe) and my daughter and husband said it was fabulous! I also made Memphis style cole slaw for the BBQ ribs and chicken we made today (homemade BBQ Sauce that is sugar free and low carb). I actually still need to bake my husband's birthday cake! I'm exhausted from cleaning, laundry, cooking/baking. I don't want to move anymore today!

I'm afraid I didn't do so well with Protein today. I may be able to get in a shake yet tonight.

I ended up at a chinese restaurant for an impromtu dinner. I opted for steamed shrimp and broccoli with lemon sauce on the side.

And I may or may not have eaten half of an egg roll. After a decade of sub-par egg rolls from crappy North Dakota chinese restaurants I needed a good one, dammit!

      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.

      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!
