On a first note- I call it stress baking because it brings me zen. Baking relieves so much stress for me and this week has just been the epitome of stress.

Anyway here’s most of my meals I made for work. My onigiri didn’t come out right; I think I washed too much starch off the rice. 😞 Mirin soy salmon, kimchi, curried chicken salad, furikake rice, nori, roasted potatoes and carrots, garlic spinach, southern fried corn, chorizo Tomato sauce, and braised tofu.

Also, a bonus pumpkin coffee cake with maple glaze.

I haven’t ventured to making my own kimchi yet but it’s on the list. I have however made loads of pickles and fermented some zucchini noodles that are in my fridge.

Meal prep for my work week. Turkey & sweet potato chili.

That is how I meal prep. I have been doing it for like a decade and I haven't even had surgery yet! I make a big pot of curry or chili or whatever and put them in individual portions. Some go in the fridge for this week and some in the freezer for a while later when I'm no longer sick of it lol. It worked out great for this week because I was away this weekend and didn't go grocery shopping.

Trying to fall in love with Protein Shakes again (It’s too hot to eat 🤣) It tasted like a Starbucks Frappuccino

*not shown was 2 oz of Water, 4 oz of almond milk & 4 oz of ice

Have you tried the Premier Protein Blueberries and cream? If you’re trying to get back into them it’s a new flavor. So good. Cookies and cream is another fav too.

@greentealael unfortunately I didn’t loose my sweet tooth with the sleeve surgery so I still love the sweet taste of these drinks and other sweet things. I’d def consider yourself lucky!! I wish my had went away😐

The cafe latte one they have is pretty good. It’s the only one I like post surgery because it’s not as sweet. Has caffeine though.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
