Hey! Get outta my brain! I am planning to make falafel tonight!!!

Got a recipe to share??

I just used the Trader joe's box mix but added onion powder and paprika.

I flatten them like patties for even cooking while pan frying in ~1/8 c of oil (1/4 inch or less in a pan)

So yesterday I figured I’d roast the garlic cloves I used for the souvlaki marinade from last night’s dinner for a bit of garnish. Turns out the fam loved them just a la carte and this morning, asked if I could roast some more to eat as a snack. ?!

I was all, ok, but you all are weird.

I had a sample of it and I am now a believer. YUM. I ate 3: 20 calories.

Now we all gotta go gargle with some mouthwash for a while...

Roasted or sauteed garlic cloves are ah-may-zing! I'm drooling over your pic. 😋

Another bowl of random stuff for afternoon munchies: a snack can of Tomato & onion tuna, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, some cucumber and tzatziki.

Logged as 182 calories (a little less since I didn’t eat all the tuna, but I like to round up!)

Green Tealaeh we are twins! Saturday's gel manicure in lavender (to blend with that leather jacket you like) for a business trip north. I'll be off the grid for a spell - BUT here was dinner tonight. Used a filet mignon from the freezer, sautéed up some shallots, sliced left over baked potato + baby peas for dinner. Mr. Sophie finished my plate. ;]

Finally after 5 weeks of fluids (including pre op) I’m on a soft diet.

Scrambled eggs and Protein Shake. Could only eat 1/2 the eggs.

Made an apple crumble cake (yes, me!) - came out fine. Adapted from recipes I saw on the web. Taste is super but the amount of dough they recommend is way too much for the amount of apples so when using the small glass pan I'm going to half the dough next time. With the big glass plan I'm going to double or triple the amount of apples.

Oh how I love that moto jacket!

Your nails look lovely and the perfect length, unlike my extremely impractical set 😂

Also the food looks so hearty and comforting

I was also on 5 weeks of fluids, and I don't think anything ever tasted as good as that first scrambled egg! Congratulations on moving up!

chicken Avocado salad

Another salad? Yes. I was overzealous when buying salad greens and accidentally bought a box that expired 10/15. However, they are organic and last a lot longer than their "best by..." date so I am determined to beat the clock in these.

I'm also logging consistently - likely because the Baritastic app is easy and doesn't expose my private information to cyberattacks (Under Armour/MFP ... thanks)

OOOOooooooh that looks delicious (sans the croutons 😂)!

I haven't had a salad it what seems like for-eh-vah, as for some reason my costco has been out of romaine lettuce for AGES. Whats up with that?!!?

I may just bite the bullet and buy a ridiculously overpriced one at a regular grocery...which btw, has gone up in price as well! (I know its only a couple dollars, but it pains me, its the principle of it all !)

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
