I would never judge weird food combos, lol.

Perfect because I had more meals with beets. I’m taking my family along for the ride and no one is happy 🤣

Spiced ground lamb, couscous and marinated beet salad

Because the ugly stuff deserves a place, too (like that yellow brick-hulk I posted yesterday, lol).

Half-eaten leftover vegan croissant I bought yesterday and didn't want to throw out after having eaten part of it (won't recommend eating it the next day), some ramen and additional mushrooms thrown into leftover Soup from yesterday. I called it a late Sunday Breakfast.

How is everyone’s autumn/spring going so far?

It's gotten too cold already compared to last year.

And even after years I'm still not over the fact that German stores start selling X-mas chocolates etc. in August.

This looks like such a little amount of food. I can't believe it's supposed to have 271 cals.

Yeah it all adds up. Mind u if i skipped the Salad Dressing, i could’ve cut 25% off the total….

…and now because i like to wrap things up into a nice conclusion, here is yesterday’s 4th and final meal.

I haven’t logged it yet in MFP cuz there are so many components and i was too lazy (and drunk, lol) to do it last night. So I took a pic of the menu to remind me to enter it later.

Ahi tuna appetizer: 320 calories. Ate everything above the rice. Didn’t eat the rice cuz I didn’t want to get too full, plus it was touching the ginger glaze “lake” at the bottom which was waaaay to sweet for my taste.

Lavender lemonade: 200 calories. So pretty, right?! Drank it all.

Also had 2 vodka sodas: 150 calories, not shown.

sooooo…if my math is right, i ended the day at about 1900 cals (i also had some pistachios, some cheese and crackers and a Lindt Lindor truffle chocolate as Snacks in between these meals). It really does all add up.

Y’all I made a vegan no bean chili after forgetting I had cans of it. The calories are for the whole big bowl of which I maybe ate 1/3. But then I looked at the can and yikes!

Your has no fat. Theirs has 21 grams in the can. Was yours as good as theirs? If so, that fat was not necessary.

Honestly I think it’s more about the spices that I used that made it better. I always add extra chili powder to canned chili. The fat was definitely not needed.

dinner with kids- cucumbers, mini tater tots (I ate the other 6 while making plates) and kielbasa, pepper, and onions.

Also, you’ll never see me consuming ketchup with potato (or other products) as a dip because I find it disgusting.

      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!!
