This is what I'm making for Thanksgiving "maybe" unless I do smashed roasted cauliflower instead. The difference is that I won't use as much butter and will be making turkey tenderloins cooked the way I cooked the chicken breasts. Yum. And so dang easy!!! I won't even miss the loads of butter!

Here's the link to the smashed roasted cauliflower:

I make em the same way now post surgery, but I use MUCH less butter and in place of cream cheese I use Greek nonfat yogurt or neufchatel cheese or lite cheese wedges.

ooooh this looks soooooo good.

I've made the tortillas from this recipe, and I like them. :)

Edited to add: Ooopsies, I see you are still early in weight loss mode...these may be a little on high side calorie wise and carb wise...but could probably still be done...

Awesome thanks!!! I just saved the recipe! :) I’m going to give these a try once I’m a little further out in my journey. As of now I’m only getting in like 600 calories.

I realize most of my food (read: salads) looks the same. I may start using different bowls just for some variety, lol.

I did go a little off script today by "chicken-salading" my grilled chicken staple ;). Super filling, will eat the rest in a couple hours.

Salad greens + vinaigrette + 1/2 an avocado + 2.3 oz Air-fried Porchetta leftovers sans skin + Curried Chicken salad (2.8 oz grilled chicken + 0.8 oz gala apple + red onion + 1 tbsp homemade mayo + 1/2 tsp curry powder)

471 calories + 29g Protein + 8g NET carbs + 34g fat

Playing catch up today:

Saturdays Lunch: Went to an Armenian fest and was planning on sharing the below plate with my bf but I just couldnt do it. Its rice pilaf, a side salad, losh (grilled ground lamb patty), and kufta (stuffed meatball with lamb and herbs inside). I had like two bites of the kufta, it was super soft but I started getting that stuck feeling in my throat. I just couldn't digest it and I felt like crap after that. The whole time I was trying hard not to puke. Lamb will have to wait.

Later on that day I went to a late halloween party and ate like four salami slices off that skull head platter and that was my food for the day. There were chicken wings at the party too but I just couldnt eat them. My friend dyed them black to look like bat wings and it just grossed me out lol.

Sunday & Monday: (Ate the same thing both days)

Much better than Saturday! For lunch I made pan seared chicken breasts stuffed with broccoli and cheese. Didn't take a pic of it, I got too excited to eat it and forgot.

Dinner: Made my bf spare ribs, rice, and a small salad. I posted the pic of the rice because I caved & took two bites of it.... :( :o It was super hard to resist because its one of my favorite kinds of rice to make but the two small bites took away my craving. My dinner was a can of tuna with light mayo, celery, and two wasa crackers. Took me all night to finish.

Ohhh ... can I have your rice recipe? That looks delish, I understand why you couldn't resist. (Glad it didn't take much to satisfy that craving)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
