Chia pudding day two :) Loved it so much much I bought smaller jars. This time I made a cinnamon, clove, and mashed banana mixture with milk. I topped it with apples, walnuts and more bananas.

I can see myself eating this for Breakfast on the daily but does anyone know if there are restrictions on chia seeds for bariatric patients? On my list of what not to eat, chia seeds were listed but the restriction was only for the first month, from my understanding.

I haven't hear of a long term restriction as long as it fits your macros 💚

Looks soooooooooooo good. Do you like it better with the milk added?

Good to know! Thanks!

and yesssssss so much better 🤤 I used the fairlife fat free milk for extra Protein. I can see it being a dessert if a whole fat milk or coconut milk Is used, especially with a chocolate

Sweet soy glazed chicken from last nights dinner and chia pudding from this morning. Still haven’t had lunch today because I’m just too full.

Been doing the Keto diet to lose the required weight pre-op. I tried to figure out how to get all my Protein in without going over my carb limit and eating too much fat. This was seasoned chicken, Shirataki noodles, eggs, and brussel sprouts. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the plate (thus not meeting my protein goal). :( Though, I am really not sure why I thought I could! That was a lot of food for one sitting!

Forgot my lunch this morning (super sad 😞) so I had to buy something from the downstairs cafe. Ordered a grilled chicken wrap on wheat knowing I wasn’t going to eat the wrap part.

Oh and here’s today’s chia pudding... layered strawberry and banana.

Been waiting to try Shelly's ricotta bake since I moved on to pureed foods. The pie pan is 6 inches and the recipe made two pans (four servings total). So now I have three more meals to look forward to.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
