Asian chicken salad with WF Asian Dressing. So dang good. I have at least one more meal from it.

This makes 2 servings. This is the total for the full salad.

So yesterday was a bad eating day. I wasn't really hungry and I barely made it to 350 calories. Today I woke up starving! I didn't pack a lunch the night before because I thought I was working from home so I ended up buying out.

I ordered two enchiladas chapinas. Its similar to a tostada. It has a ground beef /veggie stew on top of a hard corn tortilla plus lettuce, a generous of cabbage and beets relish with a Tomato sauce on top. Sometimes they even throw a boiled egg in there but mines didnt have it.

Anyways I ordered two thinking one will be for lunch and dinner today and the other for tomorrow. I was shocked when the woman handed me the food. These things are MASSIVE! They are suppose to be the size of a regular corn tortilla but my goshhhhhhh. I think im going to have food forever!

The picture doesnt do the size justice but maybe seeing the last pic will help. They gave me this big a*s bag because this sh*ts too heavy.

Dinner: Shrimp with Pasta and a big "HELL YEAH" for to-go cups for leftover wine! (Don't get your knickers in a knot - I walked back to the hotel). P.s. that's just Water in the glass with a reflection from a yellow napkin. I can't do beer and wine at the same time 😫

This was sooo good. I kind of made it up, but started with this recipe as a guideline.

Aida Mollenkamp Pork Apple cider

I used boneless pork chops and subbed white wine for most of the cider vinegar, halved the maple Syrup and added fresh apples and cayenne to cut the sweetness. Served it with roasted acorn squash. It turned out fabulous. I ate most of this. Not bad for a 400 calorie dinner! I just noticed I had all yellowish food...

Southwest shrimp salad from Chili’s. There’s no after pic because after a few bites I found a huge blonde hair in my food. Decided not to get a new meal and instead make my own shrimp since that was all I really wanted. No leftovers ate 3 ounces.

Okay, so still vacationing, and this is the first time I’ve even tried breakfast (10:30am local).
lol, didn’t eat very much....

PS. Mostly I’ve eaten high Protein, low carb, but today is Big XII championship game and we got to the sports bar early to claim a good spot. Gotta admit that the tots are currently not sitting well and I’ve got a greasy film in my mouth from them.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
