I've been doing well with my crock pot. You can make some awesome stuff in there. If you google Keto Crock-Pot recipient there's some awesome stuff
I found a carne asada recipe that was awesome.

I've done some interesting things.

Avocado Shrimp salad - 8oz vary shrimp, 80g avocado, 20g mayo, 20g sour cream with a couple of pinches of garlic, onion and old Bay. Makes 4 2.75oz servings with 120 cals, 6g carbs, 2g fat and 14g Protein. You could cut down on the sauce ingredients or add more shrimp since it made more than enough to cover.

8oz baby shrimp, 80g avocado, 20g mayo, 20g sour cream with a couple of pinches of garlic, onion and old Bay. Makes (4) 2.75oz servings with 120 cals, 6g carbs, 2g fat and 14g Protein. You could cut down on the sauce ingredients or add more shrimp since it made more than enough to cover.

Cheesy chicken stuffed crepes
I don't remember the exact amounts but hard to screw up. This is based on what I remember.

Filling - 1 small can of canned chicken, drained. 2 tbls Condensed cream of chicken, 2 Oz grated cheese (reserve 0.5oz for topping) and salt/pepper/garlic & onion powder to taste.

Crepes - basic crepe recipe from Internet. Can go low carb but didn't seem worth it.

I made 6 4in crepes and divided the filling among them. Topped with cheese and broiled until melted. 271 cals and 17g protein for 2 based on calcs at the time. Husband ate 1, I ate 1.5.

Korean bbq
Used spice packet from store and low carb ketchup and 8oz short ribs and cooked in instapot. Not sure how to calculate since 90% of the sauce gets left behind. Husband loved it.

Once I started eating normal foods my husband made bolgogi for me at least once a week; beef sliced then and marinated in fish sauce and a little soy sauce, garlic, and green onion. Served on lettuce leaves (for me) and rice (not for me). Delicious!

Also really like avocados stuffed with seasoned chicken. Paleo recipes usually work well.

      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!
