It's my birthday!! I ordered a Bourbon sauce Mahi Mahi & shrimp plate!

I had all 4 shrimp, half the Mahi Mahi & I only got like 2 bites of the potatoes & a few of the sweet potato shavings & it was AMAZING

Happy birthday. 🎉

There is a vanilla version as well. Both taste ok but I'm not sure yet if they will be a staple.

Some leftovers:

Burgers again. Used different Buns this time and they're a better match. Made one with Gouda's Glorie cheddar style sauce and jalapeños and one with a spicy ketchup like sauce and a Bedda melt slice. I want to try some vegan bacon next time on the cheese burger.

This one went straight to the fridge for eating later:

This time I made them in the oven (the paper "wrapping" worked quite fine, no mess in the microwave/oven, just throw away the messy paper) and they browned nicely. I guess these burgers will be a keeper.

I wonder how people manage to take pictures of a burger or sandwich that don't look just plain ugly, btw. 🤔

Anyway, this was today's fast breaker: Soup and burger. I wanted something warm and spicy. It's cold again in Germany.

The soup was ok. Even for my taste a bit salty. Too expensive, so I might buy again when on sale but it won't be a staple.

Made homemade Protein Bars. I’m going to try making some with powdered Peanut Butter next time and see if I like them.

lunch today- stir fry kimchi and edamame, some tomatoes and onions, tamagoyaki, and teriyaki chicken.

They weren’t bad. And super simple- nut butter, Protein Powder, and either non dairy milk or sugar free maple Syrup to bind it. The recipe said to dip in chocolate but they’re fine without it. And for the most part doing well. Starting to get cabin fever since it’s been so abnormally warm lately.

It’s So good. I think next time I make it though I’ll use the low sodium soy sauce. Little salty for me. But I loved this recipe. A friend was eating it at work and gave it to me!
Let me know if you like it! Very light.

I always have to buy 2 types of soy sauce for my family. I can only tolerate the low sodium version. I’ll definitely post when I make this dish!

      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!!
