*hangs head* I don't have one of these either.

You know, I had one for years and never used it. As we were moving 4 years ago, I put it out for the recycle bin. And didn't have one til the chaffle craze hit. Now I only have my new little Dash but will look for a big one in the thrift stores for $5 or $10 bucks. It's well worth it cuz these taste incredibly like crisp bread (toast) with crevices for "things" to sink in. If i was eating mayo these days, I'd go cray for these. But the avocado was perfect as are the nut butters or even cream cheese or cinnamon bun cream cheese, etc.

Here is a before picture of my egg bites. There is no after as I eat the two on my plate with some salsa. So yummy.

Only eggs, bacon bites, feta cheese and a mix of some cheese I needed to use. IMG_20191117_175512_665.thumb.jpg.bd45ac0b3cdc0f50e915ea92f667a420.jpg

Make a chaffle. So. DANG. Good! With avocado toast or with Peanut Butter smeared on it. So filling too!

That looks beautiful!!! Makes me want it for lunch!

I will now search for how to make a chaffle - is it on your recipe site, Fluffy? I'll also search on this thread...

Last night’s Restaurant Menu Item/choice :

Keto Cobb Salad” : Romaine heart + cherry tomatoes + bacon + cheese crumble + cucumber + egg + 1/2 an avocado + grilled chicken + “Keto Green Goddess” dressing (which I am in love with now, btw)

...also shared a charcuterie board with my dinner companions, but forgot to take a pic of it...

I make my chaffle out of 1 egg and 1 cup of mild cheddar cheese. Mix together, divide in 2 and cook in chaffle Iron for 4min each. It makes 2 chaffles (19g Protein, 5g carbs, 1g sugar, 15g fat for 2 chaffles).

Yeah. I tried it that way first but thought it was very eggy and just meh. I like my psylli version with the egg whites. Tastes very much like bread. Plus each chaffle is only 54 cals.

I dropped and broke mine after making 10248935016 Protein waffles 😂

I thought I'd go small this time so I *could* take it anywhere I go (endless travel-might need waffles 😔)

Here you go.

Divide the mozzarella shreds. Put half in the chaffle mixture and half of it is used to make the chaffle. Let me see if I can find her video. Here's her link to the method of preparation. You can do a youtube search and watch her demo the recipe.

@GreenTealael and it has no startches or any of the other stuff they put in.

So easy to make with those moldes. And you can put anything in them.

Yes, it is. It was the first time I tried them, so easy, so yummy. Black friday should have some amazing instant pot deals. Also, btw, It's instant pot, not instapot 😉 Although most people in the US thinks the brand name is Instapot.

The molds I used are these. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=instant+pot+egg+bites+silicone&crid=4B67JEENVEBD&sprefix=instant+pot+egg+%2Caps%2C224&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_16

There are so many options, just be aware that you get the right size. The first ones I got was too small.

You and a whole lot more. Even in the huge instant pot groups I'm in on Facebook, like 1 mil people, people call them instapot.

I seriously need to try this! This would be a great alternative for sandwiches! Love this thread, so many great ideas and inspiration 💜

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
