Low functioning fat man...

This morning I had a quiche at my in laws. All I ate of it was the egg portion. Good so far. We usually do a Breakfast and gift exchange, come home for a few hours and go back for dinner. That didn't happen. I ran out of my drink, tried Water and my stomach got upset. Plain water still doesn't work for me! Dinner didn't happen until 3:30 and the ham tasted like salt. No ham flavor whatsoever! Pink freakin salt! Otherwise there were carrots cooked in brown sugar and butter, scalloped potatoes, rolls and a zucchini dish that had some cheese and breading. Needless to say, I didn't eat squat! Man did I screw up!

Suffered through the same thing yesterday at my inlaws. Their methods of cooking are very different than mine and I nibbled on turkey, and "pink salt"... the rest was not my friend. Next year I will have a stash of cheese and salami in my purse!! Or something like that. Plain Water makes me yuck too.

Sargento makes those nut, cheese and berry snack packs. Nice punch of Protein and properly portioned. I am a year out and have learned I always need to stash one in my bag before going to a food/family gathering. While we don't get hungry like before, ya still need to be able to eat on a consistent schedule!

I love quiche, and I also eat the egg portion. It's so good! Sorry to hear that the foods for the remainder of the day didn't work out.

I hosted a Christmas afternoon appetizer get together. I made chicken Cranberry and Brie tarts, (good except for the puff pastry), Turkey meatballs glazed with Apple Cider Bourbon sauce (sugar free...no one knew!), Shrimp Cocktail, and a nut and cheese tray with green chili salsa/cream cheese side. I nibbled all day and felt guilty but afterwards realized I hadn't eaten too much. It was a grazing day. Actually woke up this morning a pound lighter so go figure.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
