No afters but here's today's brekky offering. I used my new egg poacher to make a poached egg + eggwhite and uncured BH salami slices. And used the air fryer to rewarm my chaffle and also to melt the 1/2 slice of 2% kraft deli deluxe with 3 slices of BH uncured salami. More cals but sooooo good in a totally different way. I actually think I prefer the egg puff better!

I can't wait to get lox at the store this weekend and also can't wait to get canadian bacon or more Hillshire Farms ham!

Here's the meal: 216 cals; 20g protein; 12g fat; 6g carbs; 1g fiber; 5g net carbs.

It was yummy! And I'm noticing with the chaffle open faced sandwiches, I actually feel "full". I think cuz of the psyllium.

Ok, sorry to clog up the feed so much lately!

I just love those little egg poachers! I've been making this green Soup for a long time and I only just started making "tofu" out of egg whites (can't have tofu). And if you have trouble with eggs, you should totally try this method. You season them how you wish: yesterday was mexican with salsa, today is asian with five spice, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, sesame oil. Then poach or nuke em in a bowl (20 second intervals in the micro until just done--takes 2-4 sessions). Then cube them and drop them in your soup. Tender, delicious. This made 2 cups (2 servings) of fabulous and comforting soup and took all of about 5 minutes to throw together and about 10 minutes to cook. #dangdelicious!

Here's the ingredient list. Each time it's different depending on which veg is lurking in the freezer. :)

2 servings totals: 255 cals; 32g protein; 6g fat; 16g carbs; 8g fiber; 8g net carbs

per serving: 178cals; 16g protein; 3g fat; 8g carbs; 4g fiber; 4g net carbs. Score!!!

@FluffyChix Wow! The eggs look just like tofu! Love it

IKR! It REALLY reminds me of the texture of soft tofu. Lovely and velvety/creamy with the same blank palette taste of tofu. I am gonna have to try hot/sour Soup with it. Actually this soup kinda reminds me of h/s soup with different veggies. :D So dang good. I could eat the egg cups and chaffles every meal and every day. LOL. They almost melt in your mouth-not rubbery or hard at all. I poached it for like 7 minutes?

Does it really really taste like cornbread? I love me some cornbread (with jalapenos & maple butter 😋), and don't want to be disappointed :(

Runner up? Second best ? Third place? 😬

The way I prepped it, the flavor reminds me of:

Without the fruit of course, but please someone else try it and tell me honestly what y'all think. I fear I'm too far gone into Sublandia 😂

Ohhhhhh Mannnnn

Fluffy/flaky but lightly sweetened and very mild coconut flavor

But that was the flavor profile i was going for. If you add jalapenos and cheese , no doubt it will taste totally different

I cant even make those for me 😂 I never earned the recipe 😩

You can follow all the YouTube you want for currants rolls... There's a step to make it taste authentic that no one is willing to share. Conspiracy!

I haven’t tried tofu since surgery but if it doesn’t sit well I'm definitely going to try this out! :D I wonder if it would hold its shape in a stir fry?

yummm hot and sour soup sounds good right about now lol

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
