I was craving something sweet and chocolate and this was amazing tastes just like a fudge brownie totally in love. I only ate about 4 slices of banana but I ate all the chocolate hummus. Delicious

banana with some chocolate sauce and a bit of granola over Protein yoghurt (mix of coconut Protein, freeze dried raspberries and supposed-to-be immun boosting stuff):

I think I've seen this brand at local supermarkets but not the chocolate hummus. Can't really imagine the taste but then again I'm using chickpea flour in sweet mug cakes...

Mussels in white wine sauce and braised fennel.

I ate 10 + about 1/4 cup of fennel: 112 calories (since I didn’t have any bread, I didn’t have anything to soak up sauce 😕 )

Hi, everyone!!! It has taken me about 5 days off and on...but I have read this whole thread, and a few things have happened:

1. I learned that am a lurker and a stalker🤦‍♀️

2. I have snagged some wonderful recipes and ideas

3. I realized I am going to love getting to go on this journey with ya'll...there is so much support and help offered!!!

4. And my name isn't cute at all!!! I am so jealous of how cute they all are!!!

Now, I guess I should say something about my food. Today I am 4 wks out from my surgery, I started soft foods this past Saturday. I am on soft foods until 9/12. I can't wait to be able to be able to actually chew something with more texture. I am so jealous of everyone's cucumbers and radishes, they look so yummy!!!

Right now am able to eat 3 Tablespoons of food, 4 times a day(there is no way I could do 6)...I am currently averaging 48-54 oz. fluids. So right now i will not subject you to my little wee-meals.

Welcome & CONGRATS ❤

Don't worry- we were all site stalkers at one point or another, right?

Yes? No? Just me then?

Well, I decided to do it. It was time.

I made the ricotta bake.

I wanted more Protein, so I browned up a pound of ground turkey with some onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning and mixed that in with the other ingredients.

Quadrupled the recipe so I could feed my boyfriend, have leftoverS for hi. And plenty of leftovers for me to freeze for later. Served myself 3.8 ounces.

and of course, that was more than I could fit/needed.

Boyfriend said it tasted just like lasagna without the noodles. I had meant to add crushed red pepper, but forgot. Would definitely make it again, but probably skip the mozzarella. Part-skin mozzarella always ends up like cardboard and was so hard to chew well enough.

      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!!
