I don't really have a recipe. I just shredded green cabbage and carrots, fried it with a bit of oil in the pan until it was lightly browned and done and put some sate sauce out of the glass on it. Poured the whole thing over leftover hard boiled eggs and Beans Pasta.




My "cooking" is very simple. I'm neither a very talented cook nor interested in spending my time with cooking, so the stuff I cook takes very little active time. It might need an hour in the oven sometimes but I don't count that.


Can I ask how you made the Sate sauce? Or is it store bought?

Wings (Honey Hot/BBQ)

@Cheeseburgh I remember a couple of months ago you mentioned that you only eat a few at a time and I forgot to reply

I also only eat between 2-5 wings at a time (depending on how hungry I am).

I noticed if I have an order of 10 wings it's usually 2-3 meals worth. I get extremely bored eating them by wing 3 😅

Same-ish.

I can do about 5, and that’s if I don’t eat anything else (i..e, veggie sticks, etc..)

....now I want me some wings!!

Patio lunchtime with a couple girlfriends earlier. I had the beef tartare...this is my after pic (forgot to take a before pic in my eagerness to eat it!)

...also, a bonus pic of the pretty charcuterie board that was ordered for the table. I didn’t have any, but it must have been delicious because my companions polished it all off, lol

It's a store bought paste. I sometimes make peanut sauce myself or use Peanut Butter in stews though but I like this paste quite a lot.

I’m always confused how to count the calories with wings. We smoke them vs. deep fry, I can figure out that part. But I pretty much only eat the drummies and on MFP the numbers are all over the map!

This is the most basic listing I could find on Baritastic. Seems about right to me for just the meat. Sauce would be axed on to it.

As a rule of thumb I always choose the highest calorie listing in MFP for any food that isn’t verified (i.e., the ones without the little green checkmark). I figure its better to overestimate than under.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
