Looks so good.
I love love love avacodo!! I’ve never had avacodo with an egg?!
Fried or over easy eggs are the only eggs I can eat. Scrambling post sleeve gross me out. Smell of them cooking and the taste.

Y’all DO NOT add kelp noodles into just boiled Water with baking soda or you’ll end up with peanut noodle Soup. 🤦‍♀️ Lesson learned.

At least they were soft…. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe next time I’ll just use really hot tap water.

Also, ate 3 bites and was grossed out so had Cereal with a Protein Shake instead.

Bresola with crème fraiche & fresh grated horse radish. Super easy to prep & to eat. Took it my cousins for a pre Christmas drink. Forgot to take the before pxt but took one after the plate had done the first round of the guests. Unfortunately we don’t get those ginormous tree branch sized horse radish roots you see on UK cooking shows. Just sad looking, wizened roots.

toast two ways:

(1) Peanut Butter and jam, and (2) lemon curd

ate all the pb&j but didn't care for the lemon curd. waaaaay too sweet without some whipped cream or something.

estimated 237 calories for what i ate.

no one wanted my leftovers so its in the trash.

All airfried to a crisp: Dim sum radish cake (100 cal), 3 gyoza (97 cal). My dip was garlic, black pepper, soy sauce, black vinegar. One of my favorite meals. Weighed 140g, I ate it all... 20221202_002205.jpg

White wine and garlic mussels with artichoke hearts. Ate about roughly half of each (aside from the sauce)… a surprisingly high amount of protein!

Last night dinner: Left over Hibachi veggies and I added grilled chicken! YUMMM

226 Cals. 28g Protein for all of it. I didn't bother adjusting the serving because the little bit I left wasn't really changing the calories enough to matter.

my how times have changed.

3 years ago i would have avoided bread like the plague. nowadays not so much. i think I've had some sort of bread product every day for the past few weeks!

case in point: toast, bacon, egg and some seasonings.

+ plus an espresso martini beforehand (not shown)

would've been 450 cals is i ate it all, but since Mr. swiped half of it, i adjusted to 296 cals after this screenshot was taken.

well i'm glad you asked. I've wanted to pass on my knowledge for some time, LOL.

1) put eggs in pot and fill with cold Water until just covered (any more and you'll have to adjust the cooking time)

2) dump some salt in, and a tsp of white vinegar (vinegar helps with the peeling after)

3) put burner on high and set timer for 9 mins (i.e., don't pre-boil the water)

4) drain the hot water, fill with cold water and dump a handful of ice cubes in there to cool.

5) after 5 or so mins, peel the eggs with a teaspoon (tap the egg all around with the spoon to crack then slip the spoon under the shell and slide around to loosen, and it will just slip right off.)

6) ENJOY!

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?
      · 2 replies
      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
