Today I packed the almonds, the Jerky, and the pineapple from last night.

Pepper stuffed with chopped jalapeños, salsa, and lightlife veggie crumbles (I cooked the whole pepper with 1/3 cup crumbles, 1/2 cup salsa, and a jalapeño and topped with 2 slices of pepper Jack. Only packed a half with a cup spinach topped with almonds and cranberries and roasted red pepper dressing). Then we have Soup, a Protein Shake, a boss cookie, peatos, and not pictured is my smoothie with handful each spinach and kale, a cup frozen mixed berries, 10oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and a scoop lemonade flavored Syntrax Protein Powder.

We’ll see if the pineapple, jerky, and almonds get eaten. 😂

Breakfast Time! (or lunchtime…however u want to look at it…)

Watermelon, feta, dried blueberries, fresh mint, with a healthy squeeze of lemon juice: 134 calories. Plan on eating it all.

Kids had pigs in a blanket and since I haven’t willingly ate a hot dog made from an animal in years so I had about half an imitation crab stick, 1.5tsp honey mustard dressing, and 1/4 cup Brussels sprouts tossed in Parmesan and olive oil. Included is a rough estimate of the calories.
After dinner I’m still about 500 calories short for today 😩 so who knows what I’ll have for a late night snack.

I’m usually never hungry when I wake up for work but I’d already been up a couple hours before making the kids dinner. They had sweet stuffed sweet potatoes and sloppy joes made with TVP. I chose a savory loaded sweet potato instead. The black Beans are tossed with cumin and tajin and the sweet potatoes had pumpkin pie spice on them when roasting.

I’ve only managed 4 bites so I'm packing the rest for work along with some roasted bell pepper strips.

Dinner! This is the fabled “red bag” Aldi chicken fillets. They are very good.
I’m still not cooking much so it was prepared in the Airfryer. No afters, I ate it all as this was my first “true” meal today.

What’s happened that this is your first true meal @GreenTealael? I’ve obviously missed something? Are you ok?

Made the kids pizza rolls for dinner. I had part of a bag of sad looking Caesar salad that I added some equally sad looking kale to. 😂 Topped it with some sesame, pumpkin, and hemp seeds. Ended up eating a total of 2 pizza rolls with the salad one of which was eaten screaming hot out of the oven while serving kids dinner. 😂🤷‍♀️

Thank goodness. I thought you may have been unwell or had surgery.

Awww thank you for your concern ❤️
I am well! I’m also just not very hungry lately, I think it’s seasonal.

How is your recovery going?

Ordered a salad for dinner before work and I’ll be taking at least part of it with me.
Romaine, iceberg, and carrot blend with mandarin oranges, strawberries, dried cranberries, candies pecans, blue cheese, and grilled chicken with balsamic dressing.

      April Surgery

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.
