That omelette looks amazing! So does that bacon/chicken breast! I need to start cooking more. I live on chicken salad and it’s getting boring.

I need to embrace the leftover lol

I just threw away a perfectly good barely meal touched from a week ago

I used to be a big fan of leftovers. Now it just depends on the leftover. I leftover grilled meats, cuz they can be used quickly, with little effort in so many ways! I can't stand leftover eggs now of any kind. LOL.

This is cauliflower paella with chicken breast, venison sausage, and greens. I don't usually make this complex of a meal. It's usually grilled/sauteed meat/seafood + veg + avo/toms, which I find way more filling. Being a member of the "clean plate club" is a dubious and terrifying honor at times. I continually worry about how big my pouch is.

Here was a lunch I made with leftover grilled chicken. I ate 1 entire lettuce cup of these. That is a lunch plate--so much smaller (8in) than a dinner plate. Each cup had 2 1/2oz of Protein in each one. I made Mexican crema using Greek Zero Fat Yogurt, some FF Fairlife milk to thin it down and a tiny splash of lime and a pinch of salt. Sorry, no after shots.

Here is yesterday's aftershot of lunch at The Counter. I had a Mediterranean "bowl" which is a turkey burger on a Greek salad. And I had 1 of the grilled veggie skewers.

I can eat way more salad than a meal with separate dense Protein + veggies + avo/tom. I think maybe it's cuz lettuce and cucumbers especially, have more Water in them and they become sliderish maybe?

Here's one of my favorite go-to lunches. I boil, peel/de-vein, and freeze shrimp. Then I can use them all sorts of ways. My fave is homemade Greek salad with spiced pumpkin seeds and WF Italian or Balsamic dressing.

I eat the whole thing. It's roughly 1-1/4cups of volume and about 6-7oz on the scale.

So I'm 4 weeks post op and have lost 42lbs since surgery. My biggest problem is eating ...I just can't seem to be able to eat. I made some small shrimps with vegetables and that's all I was able to eat before I start feeling ill.

I love 'em! Just put 3 portions of fish tacos (just the insides) in the freezer, and one in the fridge for tonight. I don't know how they'll freeze, but, we'll see . . . (The fish wasn't filet-style, it was all mashed with the veggies, so very soft)

And, of course, with my 3 grown sons at home, if I can't eat it, they will!

The pre/post op food consumption is sooo different right!?!? Crazy.

lunch yesterday-one of my quick fixes: Boar's Head Lacy Swiss (lite cheese) + BH Blackened Turkey Breast + veggies + dip. I hate wasting calories on bad fats in bottled dressings (one of the few areas I'm a purist about--eating crappy oils, trans fat, and super esterified fats), and hate "wasting cals" on sour cream when I really need a bit of Greek yogurt in my day. So I make my own using Greek Zero Fat Yogurt (plain) and any WF dressing, or spices that approximate the packaged dressings. This was GY + WF Balsamic Vinaigrette + Gran Garlic + Gran Onion + black pepper. YUM! Oh and a splash of Bragg's ACV. It was a "small pouch day" hehe. IKR? (sorry the bowl is messy--didn't feel like turning it into a clean bowl after I mixed it.)

Forgot to take a pic before, but I had less than 1/3 of this serving of ricotta bake before I had to stop.

I’m excited to finally be eating (puréed) foods and able to contribute to this thread, so pardon my not very attractive picture! It was yummy though!
