Fam went to Korean BBQ (without me!) but they brought back some Banchan for me (traditional Korean side dishes), which, honestly, is my fave part of Korean BBQ anyway!

Clockwise from top: Seasoned black Beans, spicy marinated dried cuttlefish, spicy anchovies & peanuts, and radish kimchi. About 1.5-2 tablespoons of each. Total for plate: 170 calories. Ate it all.

How was the mashed cauliflower? Looks just like mashed potatoes!

Its delicious Ive completely taken potatoes out of my diet since April and have found them to be great substitute. I buy the premade frozen ones and the key is after heating them up to let them sit for 5-7 mins to thicken.

Peanut Butter Protein yogurt.
I am not a fan of yogurt, but every so often I buy it. I found a vanilla Keto yogurt. It’s the consistency you of the Greek yogurts. I decided to try mixing it with peanut butter protein powder! It’s sooo good and helps with protein intake. It tastes like a dessert!

Operation Try-Not-to-Eat-So-Much-Crap: Day One.

Gonna try to cut down on the alcohol, Cookies and popcorn I’ve apparently been consuming quire a bit of late. Just to see if I can!

Today’s salad lunch: 238 calories. Still in the middle of eating it, and will likely finish all of it by the time the day is over.

There is a bunch or romaine leaves under all those toppings, swearies, lol

So i did JUST say i would cut down on eating Cookies, but that doesn’t mean I can stop baking them!

I find I am a late-night-boredom baker and here is a batch of ginger snap cookies that I whipped up last night due to the aforementioned boredom.

I haven’t eaten any (yet?) but if I did, one would be 100 calories.

I am amazed at your will power to not even try a bite after smelling them baking. They look delicious.

I dunno, its weird...i still love food, but its not so much about actually eating it anymore...i really just enjoy cooking it, plating it, planning to cook it, looking at pictures of it, smelling it, watching others eat it. And - don't judge me - I absolutely LOOOOOVE reading restaurant menus in their entirety. I probably spend more time perusing the menu than I do actually eating. Not sure if this is some weird mental issue, but i seem to be functioning well in society so its all good. LOLOLOLzzzzzzz.

Today starts a 3 day long weekend of LOTSA food, as its the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.

I had planned to just wait until tonight's dinner party to eat, but I'm kinda hungry now so....salad it is to tie me over till then.

Romaine, carrots, cucumber, feta, bacon, & some canned tuna (with mayo, seafood sauce and spices): 378 calories.

Aiming to eat just enough of this to satisfy me as I wanna same room for the food goodness-es tonite, lol. We'll see how it goes!

I'm a hotel concierge, so I make a lot of dining reservations at places I could never afford. So I like to go online to all of the menu's of the places I book and build 'the perfect meal' from them. It's so much fun just dreaming and pretending I'm rich and can eat anything I desire. For me, it's a fun game and doesn't mess with my mind or make me hungry.

I only ate one because I am still just over two months after my revision to bypass. My eyes are always too big. But it was good going down. I put tabasco and salsa on the top after (not shown).

3 x Mr. Tortilla pico de gallo (1 carb tortilla), 1 oz cheese, 1 oz rotisserie chicken sprinkled on the tortillas and air fried. .pending-1634414231-20211009_141808~2.jpg

      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!!
