Btw, anyone here looking at food porn, lol?

Me !

I'm a food voyeur, as I still can't handle everything and probably never will

But I thought it might be a bit too much to ask people to take pics while biting into food so I can live vicariously through them 😌😁

Ya'll. I miss eating salads. I loved them pre surgery. Like last meal loved. But my stomach hates it. Tonight I had a small salad, went down ok. Immediately threw it up.

OMG. I am very sad for you. If I coudn't eat salad, I would likely starve in protest.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day! :) I made a Reuben Lettuce Wrap (non-traditional hehe) with Turkey Pastrami and Near Zero Cal Russian Dressing. :D So. Dang. Delish. And I have a snack for later. There were afters. I didn't eat all the tomatoes - those were for props. LOL. Only 2 ended up staying on the plate. And that bowl in the background held my "chips". I made brussels sprouts chips in the air fryer today with Truffle Zest cheese spice. So good. (Oh and I found Kim Chi Salsa that is soooooo good! Spicy but not hot spicy! Even better than Kim Chi!)

I'd be a panic if I couldn't have my veggies and salads. I heart them so much!

So here are the nutritionals on the wrap--of course I suck at spelling but I did fix it. LOL:

Went out painting with some friends and there wasn’t much to choose from as far as food goes. I went with the $2 taco special and ordered one scallop and one pork shoulder. I was disappointed when I found out the scallops were fried 😔 I ate the insides of both and didn’t touch the tortillas.

@MarvelGirl25 Here's your information on the Brussels Sprouts chips with Truffle Zest & Parmesan!

Instructions: Wash 3 large brussels sprouts (about 75-85g). Cut end off stem end. Peel off leaves. Trim a little more end off and peel more leaves. Keep doing that until you've done the entire sprout. Cut remaining remnant in half to be about the same thickness as the rounds. Save the cut off rounds and air fry with the leaves! Repeat with remaining sprouts.

Spray sprouts with EVOO spray (I use a mister.). Sprinkle with granulated garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well.

Preaheat air fryer for 3 minutes on 400º. Place leaves, remnant sprouts, and stem cross section cuts into the fryer. Cook on 400º for 2 minutes. Open fryer and turn sprouts gently, using a spatula or spoon. Cook again at the same temp for 1 minute. Stir. Repeat in 1 minute increments until sprouts are as done as you prefer.

Remove brussels sprouts from basket and sprinkle with Tartufi Truffle Zest with cheese seasoning or use your favorite truffle salt. Shave a bit of parmesan on top. Eat IMMEDIATELY. There are dynamite when hot from the air fryer. As they cool and sit, the stemier part gets softer and chewy. But I still love them that way. I only use about a gram or 2 of shave parm.

Let me know how you like 'em! I love them more than tator chips! :D

      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
