Meal prep for the bf, non bariatric portions

Thai Red Curry with chicken and Brown Rice

The curry sauce broke and curdled, so it looks awful, but at least still tastes good.

Asian Smoked Yellow Tail salad (dressing not pictured)

Another PSA: Dream Bagel Keto Everything Bagels (1 NET carb per bagel) are a solid thumbs down.

Came back from a bakery where I bought 6 Montreal style bagels straight off the conveyor belt along with a tub of gourmet garlic & herb cream cheese for the fam. They smelled so good while they were eating it, that I finally busted out the Keto bagels in the freezer that Mr. bought for me a while back.

I was all excited cuz these Keto bagels smelled really good too out of the toaster oven...slathered some of cream cheese, took one bite and...

Keto Bagel Fail.

These were not enjoyable at all. The density & texture was all wrong and other than the "everything" flavouring sprinkled on top it was very bland.

I ended up scraping the cream cheese off and just eating that, which btw was DELICIOUS (though for $8.50 for about 1 cup, it better be!!!)

Edited to add: so not to waste the Keto bagels, I'm going to toast em up, make breadcrumbs out of them and use them for breading or burger filler...Le Sigh. This is what happens when I stray from salads....lol

Thought I would try some chocolate mint Protein pots de creme. Didn't have any mint extract so I used sugar free caramel pecan Syrup. I cooked them too long as they still seemed to liquidy after cooking for 20 minutes. Tasted good but really sent my stomach churning. Might be because they were more brownie like than custard.

And they look good too! I wouldn’t think they would taste horrible. I miss bagels ...

When to a Chinese buffet with my family today. I ate the dumpling filling only and took a couple of bites of the rest from plate one. As for plate two and three. I I just had the salad and the oranges. Thankfully my brother and sister ate the rest of my food so there was no wasting. I need to stop serving food with my eyes.

After a few minutes I ended up going to the bathroom and throwing up everything 😔

I had/have so much stuff in my freezer I challenged myself to a no buy January, with the exception of fresh fruits/veggies and eggs. So far it's been 6 weeks, still going strong!

I do this all the time too. Every time we go out to eat, I'm all "Oooooh that sounds/looks good, I want this and that and some of this". Never fails. So there's always extra for my meal companions, and/or leftovers for multiple meals.

      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
