No afters but here's today's brekky offering. I used my new egg poacher to make a poached egg + eggwhite and uncured BH salami slices. And used the air fryer to rewarm my chaffle and also to melt the 1/2 slice of 2% kraft deli deluxe with 3 slices of BH uncured salami. More cals but sooooo good in a totally different way. I actually think I prefer the egg puff better!

I can't wait to get lox at the store this weekend and also can't wait to get canadian bacon or more Hillshire Farms ham!

Here's the meal: 216 cals; 20g protein; 12g fat; 6g carbs; 1g fiber; 5g net carbs.

It was yummy! And I'm noticing with the chaffle open faced sandwiches, I actually feel "full". I think cuz of the psyllium.

Ok, sorry to clog up the feed so much lately!

I just love those little egg poachers! I've been making this green Soup for a long time and I only just started making "tofu" out of egg whites (can't have tofu). And if you have trouble with eggs, you should totally try this method. You season them how you wish: yesterday was mexican with salsa, today is asian with five spice, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, sesame oil. Then poach or nuke em in a bowl (20 second intervals in the micro until just done--takes 2-4 sessions). Then cube them and drop them in your soup. Tender, delicious. This made 2 cups (2 servings) of fabulous and comforting soup and took all of about 5 minutes to throw together and about 10 minutes to cook. #dangdelicious!

Here's the ingredient list. Each time it's different depending on which veg is lurking in the freezer. :)

2 servings totals: 255 cals; 32g protein; 6g fat; 16g carbs; 8g fiber; 8g net carbs

per serving: 178cals; 16g protein; 3g fat; 8g carbs; 4g fiber; 4g net carbs. Score!!!

@FluffyChix Wow! The eggs look just like tofu! Love it

IKR! It REALLY reminds me of the texture of soft tofu. Lovely and velvety/creamy with the same blank palette taste of tofu. I am gonna have to try hot/sour Soup with it. Actually this soup kinda reminds me of h/s soup with different veggies. :D So dang good. I could eat the egg cups and chaffles every meal and every day. LOL. They almost melt in your mouth-not rubbery or hard at all. I poached it for like 7 minutes?

Does it really really taste like cornbread? I love me some cornbread (with jalapenos & maple butter 😋), and don't want to be disappointed :(

Runner up? Second best ? Third place? 😬

The way I prepped it, the flavor reminds me of:

Without the fruit of course, but please someone else try it and tell me honestly what y'all think. I fear I'm too far gone into Sublandia 😂

Ohhhhhh Mannnnn

Fluffy/flaky but lightly sweetened and very mild coconut flavor

But that was the flavor profile i was going for. If you add jalapenos and cheese , no doubt it will taste totally different

I cant even make those for me 😂 I never earned the recipe 😩

You can follow all the YouTube you want for currants rolls... There's a step to make it taste authentic that no one is willing to share. Conspiracy!

I haven’t tried tofu since surgery but if it doesn’t sit well I'm definitely going to try this out! :D I wonder if it would hold its shape in a stir fry?

yummm hot and sour soup sounds good right about now lol

      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.
