I don't really have a recipe. I just shredded green cabbage and carrots, fried it with a bit of oil in the pan until it was lightly browned and done and put some sate sauce out of the glass on it. Poured the whole thing over leftover hard boiled eggs and Beans Pasta.




My "cooking" is very simple. I'm neither a very talented cook nor interested in spending my time with cooking, so the stuff I cook takes very little active time. It might need an hour in the oven sometimes but I don't count that.


Can I ask how you made the Sate sauce? Or is it store bought?

Wings (Honey Hot/BBQ)

@Cheeseburgh I remember a couple of months ago you mentioned that you only eat a few at a time and I forgot to reply

I also only eat between 2-5 wings at a time (depending on how hungry I am).

I noticed if I have an order of 10 wings it's usually 2-3 meals worth. I get extremely bored eating them by wing 3 😅

Same-ish.

I can do about 5, and that’s if I don’t eat anything else (i..e, veggie sticks, etc..)

....now I want me some wings!!

Patio lunchtime with a couple girlfriends earlier. I had the beef tartare...this is my after pic (forgot to take a before pic in my eagerness to eat it!)

...also, a bonus pic of the pretty charcuterie board that was ordered for the table. I didn’t have any, but it must have been delicious because my companions polished it all off, lol

It's a store bought paste. I sometimes make peanut sauce myself or use Peanut Butter in stews though but I like this paste quite a lot.

I’m always confused how to count the calories with wings. We smoke them vs. deep fry, I can figure out that part. But I pretty much only eat the drummies and on MFP the numbers are all over the map!

This is the most basic listing I could find on Baritastic. Seems about right to me for just the meat. Sauce would be axed on to it.

As a rule of thumb I always choose the highest calorie listing in MFP for any food that isn’t verified (i.e., the ones without the little green checkmark). I figure its better to overestimate than under.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
