What's for lunch today?



Recommended Posts

Leftover home made cashew chicken, I'll post a pic of when I made it for dinner because lunch is long gone! I put it over riced cauliflower and it's AMAZING. I'm making low carb stew for dinner.

Snow day: Sitting here in my pajamas, watching netflix and shopping online all day. I can't get motivated to do anything and I have been wanting to eat all day. Munching on green pepper to satisfy the need to crunch something.

I love messy, creamy wraps but don't do all the mayo any longer. So I mix some country dijon with a little Duke's and some WF Amazin Chipotle Mayo and sprinkle on granulated garlic. So good.

Wow some awesome ideas on here! I'm jealous of everyone who can have vegetables and carbs. I can have vegetables, but after hitting my Protein target have no room left... I think my target is higher than most maybe. I can dream though :-)

Now I can have salads again I had a chicken Caesar salad. I had some pre cooked diced chicken , toss with some romaine and shaved Parmesan. I like Marzettis yogurt based light Caesar dressing. I can’t eat what I used to, but I’m enjoying eating real food instead of shakes and such for sure!

I made turkey chili last week and froze half of it for next week maybe.

You will get there! Took me more than 18 months! Heck I still relies on shakes for more than a year. Still have them on occasion to meet protein goals and I'm over four years out

      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!!
