To stop my BF from eating my incredibly hard to find zero net carb bread, I made him a traditional loaf of onion chive white wheat. I hope this works 🤣

You're nicer than I am, I would have just hid the Zero Carb bread, or set up a booby trap 😂

@Pandemonium Red Beans without the rice isn't a bad Bariatric Choice :)

bread with chives... 🤤

I didn't add enough chives 😭

And has anyone ever cooked with chive blossoms? I was nervous so I just let them dry out

It could be further healthified by using Fairife low or non fat milk and ground turkey (or ground meat veg substitute in your case @GreenTealael)

It was surprisingly good. I wasn't looking forward to a carbless casserole (blasphemy 😂), but actually had seconds for my "second dinner". (I know it's not carbless, but no added carbs, like rice or noodles)

Same here! And dumplings 🥟 but this was the bf’s craving this time. When I’m craving something I’ll usually try to find a healthier way to make whatever it is I want or have a bite or two.

A while back I was craving dumplings/gyozas like crazy so I found this recipe:

https://www.lowcarbingasian.com/keto-japanese-potstickers-gyoza/

Gyoza with soy paper! Maybe you can use the soy paper concept and make the filling more wonton like?

Ooh soy paper is a good idea. I've never had it before- is it kind of like tofu skin?

I've made this recipe in the past for wontons, and they come to about 30 calories each... most of which is in the wrapper. I'll have to check out the soy paper!

Making Asian/Asian inspired meals this week. Keeping it going with pork chive and cabbage dumplings. I ate 3 of the steamed and was pretty full. Didn’t touch the fried.

Thanks for this great recipe! I bought several cans of salmon but wasn't sure how to dress it up. This will be a great lunch today!

I tried tuna with mayo and boil eggs puree. Added himalayan salt. Tummy handled it. Will try adding other spices in near future and see how my tummy will handle it. My tummy handled kale, spinach, frozen berries, banana, Protein liquid. I drank this shake as one of my meal shake replacements. I will thicken it for each step ahead as well.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
