This is what I'm making for Thanksgiving "maybe" unless I do smashed roasted cauliflower instead. The difference is that I won't use as much butter and will be making turkey tenderloins cooked the way I cooked the chicken breasts. Yum. And so dang easy!!! I won't even miss the loads of butter!

Here's the link to the smashed roasted cauliflower:

I make em the same way now post surgery, but I use MUCH less butter and in place of cream cheese I use Greek nonfat yogurt or neufchatel cheese or lite cheese wedges.

ooooh this looks soooooo good.

I've made the tortillas from this recipe, and I like them. :)

Edited to add: Ooopsies, I see you are still early in weight loss mode...these may be a little on high side calorie wise and carb wise...but could probably still be done...

Awesome thanks!!! I just saved the recipe! :) I’m going to give these a try once I’m a little further out in my journey. As of now I’m only getting in like 600 calories.

I realize most of my food (read: salads) looks the same. I may start using different bowls just for some variety, lol.

I did go a little off script today by "chicken-salading" my grilled chicken staple ;). Super filling, will eat the rest in a couple hours.

Salad greens + vinaigrette + 1/2 an avocado + 2.3 oz Air-fried Porchetta leftovers sans skin + Curried Chicken salad (2.8 oz grilled chicken + 0.8 oz gala apple + red onion + 1 tbsp homemade mayo + 1/2 tsp curry powder)

471 calories + 29g Protein + 8g NET carbs + 34g fat

Playing catch up today:

Saturdays Lunch: Went to an Armenian fest and was planning on sharing the below plate with my bf but I just couldnt do it. Its rice pilaf, a side salad, losh (grilled ground lamb patty), and kufta (stuffed meatball with lamb and herbs inside). I had like two bites of the kufta, it was super soft but I started getting that stuck feeling in my throat. I just couldn't digest it and I felt like crap after that. The whole time I was trying hard not to puke. Lamb will have to wait.

Later on that day I went to a late halloween party and ate like four salami slices off that skull head platter and that was my food for the day. There were chicken wings at the party too but I just couldnt eat them. My friend dyed them black to look like bat wings and it just grossed me out lol.

Sunday & Monday: (Ate the same thing both days)

Much better than Saturday! For lunch I made pan seared chicken breasts stuffed with broccoli and cheese. Didn't take a pic of it, I got too excited to eat it and forgot.

Dinner: Made my bf spare ribs, rice, and a small salad. I posted the pic of the rice because I caved & took two bites of it.... :( :o It was super hard to resist because its one of my favorite kinds of rice to make but the two small bites took away my craving. My dinner was a can of tuna with light mayo, celery, and two wasa crackers. Took me all night to finish.

Ohhh ... can I have your rice recipe? That looks delish, I understand why you couldn't resist. (Glad it didn't take much to satisfy that craving)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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! 😞
