Today I packed the almonds, the Jerky, and the pineapple from last night.

Pepper stuffed with chopped jalapeños, salsa, and lightlife veggie crumbles (I cooked the whole pepper with 1/3 cup crumbles, 1/2 cup salsa, and a jalapeño and topped with 2 slices of pepper Jack. Only packed a half with a cup spinach topped with almonds and cranberries and roasted red pepper dressing). Then we have Soup, a Protein Shake, a boss cookie, peatos, and not pictured is my smoothie with handful each spinach and kale, a cup frozen mixed berries, 10oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and a scoop lemonade flavored Syntrax Protein Powder.

We’ll see if the pineapple, jerky, and almonds get eaten. 😂

Breakfast Time! (or lunchtime…however u want to look at it…)

Watermelon, feta, dried blueberries, fresh mint, with a healthy squeeze of lemon juice: 134 calories. Plan on eating it all.

Kids had pigs in a blanket and since I haven’t willingly ate a hot dog made from an animal in years so I had about half an imitation crab stick, 1.5tsp honey mustard dressing, and 1/4 cup Brussels sprouts tossed in Parmesan and olive oil. Included is a rough estimate of the calories.
After dinner I’m still about 500 calories short for today 😩 so who knows what I’ll have for a late night snack.

I’m usually never hungry when I wake up for work but I’d already been up a couple hours before making the kids dinner. They had sweet stuffed sweet potatoes and sloppy joes made with TVP. I chose a savory loaded sweet potato instead. The black Beans are tossed with cumin and tajin and the sweet potatoes had pumpkin pie spice on them when roasting.

I’ve only managed 4 bites so I'm packing the rest for work along with some roasted bell pepper strips.

Dinner! This is the fabled “red bag” Aldi chicken fillets. They are very good.
I’m still not cooking much so it was prepared in the Airfryer. No afters, I ate it all as this was my first “true” meal today.

What’s happened that this is your first true meal @GreenTealael? I’ve obviously missed something? Are you ok?

Made the kids pizza rolls for dinner. I had part of a bag of sad looking Caesar salad that I added some equally sad looking kale to. 😂 Topped it with some sesame, pumpkin, and hemp seeds. Ended up eating a total of 2 pizza rolls with the salad one of which was eaten screaming hot out of the oven while serving kids dinner. 😂🤷‍♀️

Awww thank you for your concern ❤️
I am well! I’m also just not very hungry lately, I think it’s seasonal.

How is your recovery going?

Ordered a salad for dinner before work and I’ll be taking at least part of it with me.
Romaine, iceberg, and carrot blend with mandarin oranges, strawberries, dried cranberries, candies pecans, blue cheese, and grilled chicken with balsamic dressing.

      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!
