As I suspected! If you really need a substitute you won’t mind any slight difference to regular flour. But it probably does not taste exactly the same.

I LOVE corn in anything!

Today's baking effort: Apple Pie with Walnut Crumble.

It's cooling off right now, so no one knows if its a success of not, bit it smells lovely.

I just calculated the nutrition info breakdown, and: 1 serving = 1/8 pie = 525 Calories.....!!!

Will let you know later if its any good....

Regular sugar and AP flour and full fat butter all the way, hence the calorie count!

Verdict: filling was delicious, crust nice and flaky, but the crumble top was a teensy too sweet for me. The fam however had no complaints. They did have theirs with whipped cream though so maybe that improved the sweetness?

Anyhoo, I had equivalent of 1/4 a serving :

131 calories.

If I could still eat ice cream (can’t since sleeve-makes me super nauseous) but if I could I’d eat a slice of that w homemade vanilla ice cream. Looks really good!

I cant really eat ice cream either, but I still do sometimes. I dont eat whipped cream though, if i can help it...I draw the line there (dont love it enough to pay the potential price, but i like to watch others eat it, lol)

Wilted Kale salad (w/ avocado, sliced almonds, goat cheese, peppers, raisins and fried plantain)

I didn’t track the calories but I’d say 500 and this is 2 meals

Don’t know what a doener kabab is. I’ll have to google it. Is a popular thing in Canada?

      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!!
