I do not have a sweet tooth per se but I recently discovered That's it Dark chocolate banana truffles. I eat 2 to 3 pieces for a snack. It really tastes good to me, not terribly sweet but not bitter because the banana is naturally sweet and are filling. 20230215_072452.jpg 20230215_072502.jpg

53 calories, steamed crawfish with Louisiana flavor. Ate it all. Some reason I can eat quite a bit of crawfish vs other seafood and meat. I ate 10 green grapes and 50g Chinese broccoli after. 20230216_132648.jpg

Y’all, I don’t know what I’m doing that ends up with blurry pictures but jeez. 😂 Also, the amount of toast I’ve had lately has been astonishing. And that last picture with the Peanut Butter tofu and veggies- delicious even as *gasp* leftovers.

@ryandafatty
I can tell in your face you have lost weight for sure. What do you mean you can’t breathe?
Have you talked about this to your doctor bc that sounds like that would be a scary feeling

dinner yesterday: chai, pinehurst grilled chicken salad and coconut cake (shared)

I had the tea before eating so I didn’t eat much (1/3 the salad and 1/6 the cake).

You just eat this plain? Isn't it like eating fat/oil? I mean like greasy and gross. lol Or, is it different than coconut oil.. which is what I am thinking it is?

Kefir is like yogurt not oil. This one in particular has a texture like airy Greek yogurt and slightly fuzzy.

Ahhhh ok, definitely not what i was thinking. haha

I love milk kefir. I have been making it for years at home. I do second ferments with grapefruit rind. It is so yummy, like drinkable yogurt but way more Probiotics.

I may need to pick you brain on the process. Where do you get your kefir grains?

You can get them from Amazon and other places in the net. All you need it a tablespoon and you add it to a cup of milk. After 24 hours at room temperature, strain it and reuse the grains over and over. [emoji846] I have had the same grains for many years. I make kefir cheese, kefir drink, whatever I feel like that given day/week. It is fun lol.

      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!!
