I also love the international grocery store, @Starwarsandcupcakes! I could probably spend all day in there. I don't get to go very often anymore. I first started going with my granny as a young kid. Good memories.

also, my "dinner" just now:

provolone and kale focaccia and a couple tablespoons of pesto labneh (omg so good).

it was 408 cals for all of it, butbased on the after pic, im gonna log 1/3 of the total as mr. already ate my leftovers.

I usually don’t share on this page because I rarely have left overs as I’m usually quite careful to serve or order small portions. However, we are on holidays in Hawaii at the moment and even the ‘small’ serves are massive. This was a short stack of guava chiffon pancakes, after my husband and son had some too!!

Share anyway. We just enjoy pictures of food 😁😁.

I never post an after pxt always before … unless I get halfway through before I remember to take a pxt.

Those pancakes look delicious.

I have had too search the internet for Labneh. I love fresh cheeses so would like to make this. Would you know if you start with full fat Greek or normal thin yogurt ?

i've never made it...always just picked it up at a local bakery....it's definitely a thicker greek like yogurt consistency rather than the thin kind.

though now that u bring it up, maybe i should try to make this from scratch...i do have a still-unused "yogurt" button on my instant pot! and i can add my own toppings...ooh the possibilities! lol

(thanks for the idea ha!)

ah...i see what u are asking now...i just googled how to make labneh, lol.

looks like u start with regular full fat yogurt then make it into a greek like one. though wouldn't starting with a greek-like one be more efficient?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

...off to google more...

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
