I'm coming over for lunch! We freeze and use our leftover pancakes made with banana, oatmeal and cottage cheese batter into quick, little sandwiches. This was lunch yesterday - egg salad with that hint of banana. Yum.

Great idea! I need to try this! Yum 😋

Went out for lunch today and ordered the steak tip salad. Here’s my before and after. I barely touched it at the restaurant because I ended up eating one of my bfs potato skins and I got full quick 😕 I ended up finishing the salad at home, it was my only meal for the day. Plus a pineapple matcha latte with almond milk!

In the very first post @GreenTealael laid out the intent of this thread

"Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc"

If a more narrowly focused thread is of interest to you, they exist or you can create a new one.

+1

although I enjoy looking at ALL types of food pics, lol: eaten, half eaten, barely eaten, healthy, not healthy, etc.

i may have a problem...

I had to google “esquites”. Sounds delish (and going in my list of stuff to try and make :)

Of course, my sincere apologies! I should have read the first post and the intent of this thread.

Ahhh ... miss you too @Sophie7713!

Isn't quarantine life odd? I went from constant work travel to constant stay at home-ness. I miss my old life, but it has given an opportunity to deepen relationships that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. My bf and I are half way moved in together, but still have our own closet space 🤣.

I'm also seeing close family much more frequently. During the first weeks of lockdown I started doing meal preps for some of them, because groceries were hard to come by. I've continued it because I enjoy it, and it helps out financially and/or they just like my cooking better than their own 🤣

Typical of my twice weekly preps:

But it's probably not a coincidence they've all recently gone on some kind of diet. My baking was probably to blame. Maybe my roll phase in particular, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, salami rolls, coconut rolls 😧

I have a solution

Viagra... Always Viagra 😂

I was thinking vaccine! But you make a good point... LOL! Here's the seasoning version I found yesterday at Whole Foods market. Looking forward to trying it on a salad or veggies, but a little concerned that salt was listed as the 2nd ingredient. :[ Pickled beets and egg for Breakfast.

Yes, it’s net carbs. Pretty high as well but it is oatmeal. This has been my go to on days where I am skipping meals. My nutritionist and I are working on my carbphobia 😅 Hence this meal and the recent avocado toast I posted.

Not sure if it’s the carbs or what but I was in a longgggg stall and it finally broke.

      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
