Made these today in honor of Valentine's day. Salted caramel Protein cheesecake.The texture was very light, closer to cake than cheesecake. Since I am on soft food phase, I made them without the crust on the bottom.

Time to play catch up. Went to the Cheesecake Factory for Valentine’s Day and ordered the chicken Madeira.

I also am pretty proud because I had one piece of chocolate the whole day and a couple bites of the bear cookie

i think you were right @FluffyChix about being in deep ketosis because the day after this meal I woke up soooo hungry! I think it was the mashed potatoes.

Here was Saturday’s meal at my uncles. It’s a seafood Soup called Parihuela. The whole sea is in one bowl lol Very delicious and filling because it’s just broth and meat....no noodles, no rice, no potatoes.

@GreenTealael I had a Japanese lunch date today too! Your food looks delicious!

My entree was chicken Katsu don. I substituted the rice for a salad but I didn’t touch it and ate half a bowl of miso Soup. I also had one piece of sushi (the one with the spicy mayo on top), a few bites of sips of my bfs veggie soup, and two bites of negima from the bento box. Stuff for the whole day!

I feel a little bad about that one sushi piece because it had rice but it’s one and I’m trying not to beat myself up.

Girl... Don't even stress about a little rice if you can help it. I don't even like rice (shhhhh its a secret) and i ate what was on my roll because its is not life or death (for me anyways) and will not make me want more

If rice is problematic for you, still don't stress, next time request the do not add rice to the sushi 🍣

Thanks! And good idea I didn’t even think of ordering that way. I was going to order Sashimi but I had too much food already.

I’m working on not beating myself up over something so small. It’s been worse because I’m stalling but I guess I just gotta stick to the plan.

Inspired by the chicken Madeira I had at cheesecake. Didn’t eat much of the mashed potatoes but omg I’m stupid full off of a couple bites. Not sure what it is because I made this with zero oil, zero butter, and zero cream. I used about 1/2 cup of fat free fairlife. And the cheese is made with skim milk so idk. Maybe the mushrooms or wine?

What is this sorcery? This dish looks waaaaaaaaay too decadent to be oil/butter/cream-free.

Man, I wish I could cook like you.

      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.
