Was out and about all day and managed to stop for a bit to eat one of these mushroom toasts for breakfast/lunch (pal ate the other one), and 2 yummer dark chocolate covered pretzels when I got home. 256 calories for what I ate.

Not sure if I’m going to eat anything else today which is fine cuz yesterday it was food-a-rama: logged over 3000 cals yesterday (It was a total junk food day!)…so it’ll all even out, I guess 😇

…and just like that, almost 600 calories in my tum in no time flat!

chicharron (i.e., pork cracklings) are very sliderish for me, kinda like chips. I ate all of this save for 3-4 pieces that someone pinched from my bowl when i left it unattended lol

Okay this is one of my fave post op meals so far. It's not pretty but if you love Bagels, cream cheese and jelly it does the trick quite nicely. I make mini "bagels" from egg whites, cheddar. diced spinach and peppers. I cut one down the middle to make a lil Bagel. Spread a serving of fat free cream cheese and sugar free preserves. It tastes sooooo fricken good. 2 "bagels" are 180 calories without the spreads and 14 grams of Protein. This is one "bagel" cut in half.

Is this dense like a regular bagel? Is it easy to get down?

[fourmonthspreop 495]

Not dense at all. If you can handle eggs then its prob fine, it's just egg whites and a tiny amount of cheese.

1 cup of egg whites, 3 tablespoons of shredded white cheddar, Finley diced cooked spinach (I do no more than 1/2 a cup), 1/4 cup cooked diced bell pepper. Salt and pepper to taste.

Pour into a 12 count Mini doughnut pan and bake at 350 for 6-8 min depending on your oven.

Let them cool completely if you want to slice them in half like a bagel. I'm eating another now for dinner lol they're small and tasty. This is a toddler plate for reference. I'm having some sautéed squash, carrot and onion in Tomato sauce on the side. (I know weird food combo but I am trying to get through leftovers before I leave for a trip)!

The recipe sounds like the basic recipe for the chaffles. I've never made them, but I'm planning to make some tomorrow to see how I like them. I don't really like eggs unless they're covered in salsa or there's enough cheese or veggies to drown out the eggy taste. 🤢 So I saw a recipe for chaffles that says if you add a little coconut flour and baking powder they don't taste eggy and have a texture more like traditional waffles.

Yes! I totally agree also! I think the chaffles taste so gross because of the yolk AND they're usually overcooked. Overcooked yolk= fishy taste. The whites just give it a neutral base so when you add other stuff to it you really only get the eggs texture but none of that funk. That's why I like this recipe in particular. No egg taste.

Yeah that makes sense. I saw chaffles recipes that only used egg whites. I need to experiment for sure!

Oh, that looks heavenly. So looking forward to that stage!

[ms.sss 14,702]

Sometimes my food just looks unappetizing lol.

This is leftover salad from a couple days ago, plus a nugget of leftover bbq pork, plus 1/2 a leftover chicken thigh, plus a 1/4 cup of leftover butter chicken.

Looks gross, but tastes YUM.

I also just drank an espresso martini (yes, its not yet noon, dont judge me!)

250 calories (including the martini, not shown)

Ate/drank it all.
