Grilled chicken breast with Ina Garten’s summer corn salad. It looks dry, but it wasn’t! I did use half the oil and added some peppers.

No leftovers.

I just want to say that I love all these options you have in the U.S. Here in Australia I haven't managed to find all these great no carb options! You've all inspired me to extend the search!

If you can find the Aldi zero carb bread, I highly recommend it

I actually bought it this weekend and had it today for the first time with avocado and it was delicious!

Modified sugar free crust less Fiber infused cheesecake

Rookie mistake thinking I could hand wisk this to a smooth texture...WRONG, taste delicious but not pretty

nightmare world ahead: Does everyone know about the larvae in strawberries and the proper way to prep them? I just did it and it's true 😟

Cinnamon , vanilla and chocolate cake. banana muffins and burger Buns.

Burger Buns? I've only seen the sweet stuff on their website. This stuff looks indeed good. But yes, you're absolutely right: pretty expensive. :636_money_with_wings:

I think you Aussies (and I have no doubt we Germans as well) will catch up in time. When I think about the desert that was vegan food or gluten free food only several years ago, we have caught up quite well (or so I think, at least I noticed that the aisle with the gluten free products has grown a quite a bit). When it comes to low-carb I don't really pay attention, but my husband does. There are quite a few protein-breads available (that shouldn't be allowed to be labeled as "bread" though IMO) and I've seen low-carb muesli, Protein Bars, chips and the like.

I miss a good dairy-free cheese substitute though one can put on grilled sandwiches, casseroles and pizza. The substitutes I tried so far are all more or less 🤢.

There are a ton of coupon codes out and they do have a special on their imperfect Buns. 24 for $18. It’s still expensive but not as bad. I’m hoping they’re worth it. Only one store carries that brand near me and they are always sold out.

Sooo....question. I saw a lady on another group have a 80 grams Protein Breakfast. All I could think is how the f*** you do that, I struggle to get 15 in one meal. Any suggestions? 😁

Ask her what her meal plans are because now I'm curious 😅

Don’t really want to call this ceviche but I guess a tuna and shrimp salad? Used lemon instead of limes. Oh and the egg doesn’t make sense but I just felt like having one lol

Can't your body only absorb like 30 grams at a time or something? That's just silly.

Running wild on the fusion kitchen (yes, I am using up the stuff in my pantry and fridge before vacation, lol): broccoli with udon noodles, yellow onion, fake grilled chicken and vegan "Pizzaschmelz" on top, greek spice mix.

Really complicated answer but in short, it depends.

I used to keep a digital folder of scholarly journals on this but lost them

Here's a few, dive in!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
