I ended up making the French toast a few days ago. I used the Aldi zero carb bread and of course whipped cream because this was essentially dessert

I made cheddar biscuits or Buns with the Carbquik flour. I used 80% carbquik & 20% regular flour because in still nervous about using alternative flours now 😔

No noticeable difference to me

And these are regular cheddar biscuits. They look and feel the same, but I haven’t tried the regular ones so idk about the flavor

Haha...totally planning this as my first Carbquick experience. Have the recipe printed. Just haven’t had time to make the yet. I will be using all Carbquick when I make them. I will let you know how they come out. 😬

No, it just has a smoked flavor from smoked paprika being one of the major spices.

So I have pretty much been doing nothing but Meal Replacement again since November, so no fun dinner experiments to be found. Decided today I needed something after a kind of confusing cardio consult brought on my my syncope incident Sunday night. They checked my blood pressure and it was 85/52, which is obviously ridiculously low. So, they are treating me for low blood pressure (even though I have NEVER had low blood pressure any of the times it has been measured post-op). My options were to try medication that would bring my BP up...or to increase my Sodium intake.

I opted to try the dietary route (since next week I finally start post-op work with the nutritionist so I'll be moving towards normal foods) because I don't want to contend with medication side effects unless absolutely necessary. Granted, I also don't want to lose consciousness and bounce my head off the floor again either.

So tonight I made myself a Mexican pizza. Taco seasoned ground chicken, taco sauce, and some shredded Mexican 4-cheese blend on a Protein Pizza shell. I should have put the pizza shell in the air fryer for a few minutes on it's own to crisp it up a bit better, but it came out pretty yummy and I am happy with my little culinary treat.

Sometimes I eat weird sh*t. Usually its because there is nothing else to eat, but sometimes, I am actually WANTING weird sh*t.

Case in point: todays lunch: shiratake noodles, a can of smoked oysters, 3 anchovy fillets, crumbled feta cheese, a pinch of candied ginger & BBQ sauce: 260 calories.

Ate it all.

No, I'm not pregnant.

Here's something a little more normal, lol:

I have turned into an avid bread baker lately and bake a loaf (or batch) 1-2 times a week. (Have also started eating bread since my bread is AWESOME)

I don't usually eat in the mornings, but the aroma from this morning's bake was calling to me.

36g of homemade onion bread (yes, i weighed it!) + 1/2 tsp butter: approx 150 calories

A whole days worth of food (today)

Breakfast/Lunch: Scrambled eggs and linguica again but this time with some oranges and avocado.

Dinner: Thin crust Alfredo, bacon, onion, spinach and diced Tomato pizza w/ a side of kimchi. Weird food combo indeed but I highly enjoyed eating the rest of it out of a jar while I watched the movie Greenland lol

Snack: 1 mango w/ fat free whip cream

My version of Carbquick cheddar bay biscuits. They are decent. My hubby is eating low carb right now, and he loved them.😊

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
