Thanks, that really puts it into perspective! I wish there was a Trader Joe's close to me!

BTW this 1 burger is lunch and dinner (with sides like salad or a carb)

Akmak for everyone!:

What does 1 cracker weigh? I have a feeling that each of those is "4 mini squares" or crackers. I'm betting it's close to 28g. Just curious. :) TIA!!!

Did you order it? :D

No, I already have a waffle maker. I did order some psyllium husk though to make some chaffles.

Meal prep for the BF, non bariatric portions

Peri Peri chicken with Cauliflower Stuffing & Broccoli

(The MFP nutritionals are wrong on the riced cauliflower stuffing, 1/2 the bag = 75 cals, not 1/4 cup)

This meals feels very haphazard, as it consists of all the veggies I currently have in the house. I hope the grocery apocalypse eases in the next week. If not, my bf's meals are going to get, interesting.

Family,

With uncertain times approaching some major concerns may arise concerning scarcity (for multiple reasons). Are there precautions or measures you are taking with grocery shopping / food preparation / storage? Any tips or tricks you want to share?

Stay healthy and safe❤

I have my meals prepped and laid out, stocked up (minimally) on basics.

I don't feel well so I've been forcing calories in and self quarantined as much as possible while rapidly making online lesson plans and trying to deal with the shitshow that is work currently

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
