Just a heads up Swerve makes stuff EXTRA sweet. I bought the almond flour for the quiche and it had a recipe on back for brownies. I thought I would do even better and substitute swerve for sugar and they were disgusting. Like biting into pure sweetener. Just a heads up if you try using this, at least taste it first and maybe make a small batch of whatever you are using it for.

Thanks! It was surprisingly good. It’s garlic or olive hummus on the carrot

Thanks for the heads up! I have yet to try swerve and now I will probably avoid it.

I worked almost all of this past week but the most interesting thing was a skillet version of ratatouille I made with ground beef added.
I mean that and I’m still on a green smoothie kick- this one is unsweetened vanilla almond milk, kale, spinach, frozen strawberries and BariatricPal Protein One Peanut Butter Meal Replacement powder (has daily Vitamins in it). Tastes like a PB&J!

Does anyone have a healthy meatloaf recipe I can have during weight loss phase? I am craving meatloaf so bad. I figured I’d ask where the talented chefs amongst us like to hang out. Lol

I don’t know but here is the recipe - I use the paprika app to store all my recipes. :) I use about 3 cloves of fresh garlic though - it’s probably a bit more than a tsp but I think it gives it a great flavor.

Spinach Stuffed chicken Breasts

Main Courses

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
1 T. olive oil
1 t. paprika
1 t. salt, divided
¼ t. garlic powder
¼ t. onion powder
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
¼ c. parmesan cheese
2 T. mayonnaise
1 ½ c. fresh chopped spinach
1 t. garlic, minced
½ t. red pepper flakes

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Place chicken breasts on cutting board and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Add paprika, ½ t salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to a small bowl and stir.
Sprinkle evenly on chicken.
4. Cut a pocket into the side of each breast and set aside.
5. Add cream cheese, parmesan cheese, Mayonnaise, spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ½ t salt to a small bowl and stir well.
6. Spoon the spinach mixture into each chicken breast evenly.
7. Place the chicken in a 9x13 baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25-30 min or until cooked thoroughly.

I like these, you make them in a muffin tin so they are perfect portions.

      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!!
