I will have to look into it. I was interested a while back but the small chamber size turned me away , I have teens and I would have to make batches and batches, so I took a hard pass. But I'm not in willing if the right one came around.




thanks!!!


I have the big Ninja two drawer air fryer. We are a family of four. Kids are two big over 6 foot boys who eat a lot. It works for us.

I’m 2021 I was gifted an airfryer and it totally changed my mind. I barely cook any other way for myself. For larger family meals I still use the stove/oven. I can’t believe I waited for so long to join the airfryer club 🥺

Prepped a batch of Bulgogi (korean marinated beef strips) and froze batches of it a month ago...finally got around to defrosting one of the ziplocks and cooking it. OMG so yum, if i say so myself!

Portioned our about a cup of the cooked bulgogi and a 1/4 cup of cooked white rice (cuz u can't have bulgogi without rice!).

378 calories for the bowl, ate about 2/3 (maybe 3/4?) of it all. not sharing my leftovers with mr. as im keeping it for later cuz its so yum.

p.s. the onions were not part of the frozen ziplock contents...i sliced and sautéed them separately 😉

lunchtime!

about a cup of one of those pre-made costco bagged salads, some cheese and about 1/2 cup of cut mango.

284 calories for the bowl.

Ate all the mango and about 1/4 the salad (the dressing was little too sweet for me...this is why i prefer to make my own dessing/vinaigrette!!) and like one bite of cheese cube (tasted weird with the salad, so pushed it off to the side)

...the Kid ate my leftovers.

Hi all! Wrong forum for a comeback. But I frequented this topic and ootd were my most active.

I’ve been MIA since COVID and it made me gain 40 pounds. 😔. So I’m back for moral support and to get back in the game. I hope all has been doing well. I see a lot of familiar old friends on here.

I have a Cozumel and Belize trip coming up and gotta get back into the game.

My dinner was some pork Thai sweet chili rice bowl, no pic though. But being realistic.

A kid cooked !!! 😳 Turkey burgers and fries. This burger was massive maybe 6-7 oz so I only was able to eat half but I’ll eat the rest later. I’m overestimating 500 cals for what I ate and 750 cals for the meal

You got one of your children to cook? Well done. Mothers everywhere are envious. Obviously not your vegan child though or are they off the wagon again?

That’s the thing I sometimes dream of - a burger. Well specifically an Australia steak burger on a crunchy crust roll, lettuce, Tomato, cucumber, beetroot, onions optional & BBQ Sauce. Mmmm. Drooling.

Parfait: vanilla greek yogurt, blueberries, chia seeds and honey

I have chia in my freezer. How do you think taking it dry will affect my stomach at 8 weeks post since it expands to 10xs its weight in liquid? I used to take 2T daily. Dry.

I'm thinking I should soak it first.

      I weighed 199 pounds (90 kg) this morning! I felt accomplished and happy, and celebrated by going to the gym to lift some weights. Hoping everyone else out there is making progress, whether you are pre- or post-op 😊
      Today is 7 weeks and two days post-op for me. I've been through two stalls already, but I am sticking to the program. I want long-term success from all of the sacrifice and pain. You all know I mean!

      Okay so, as of yesterday my insurance company contacted me direction to say, that I was approved and have completed all the required items on the "To Do List". so, I should be getting my appointment next week for meeting with the Anesthesiologist. I'm very excited/nervous, but extremely happy too.

      Tomorrow will be 7 weeks since surgery. Yesterday i found that I was able to finally drink more than a sip at a time. I am SO grateful! I have always loved drinking water and it has been my primary beverage for most of my life; losing the ability to drink a lot of it was my first post-surgical regret. Being able to drink more than a tiny sip at a time makes me feel so much more normal.
      I'm eating around 500-700 calories a day, and have hit my second stall. I have begun to only weigh myself once a week. I've made to the gym twice since surgery, but I've been walking my pup and walking at work up to 3 miles a day on average.
      I've also been using resistance bands and stretching. I'm not quite ready for twisty yoga stuff yet. Or jogging. I did do a 10+ mile bicycle ride last weekend with a friend to a coffee shop where I had a cold decaf coffee with half and half. That was another activity that made me feel kinda normal.
      I'm still drinking one protein drink a day, trying to hit my goal of at least 60 grams a day. Today I got 72 in thanks to a cold G Zero with 10 grams.
      My abdomen is still a bit sore in general. The way I understand it, the inside is not fully healed until 3 months after surgery. That means sometime around November 1st. This is when I will go on the forever way of eating according to my provider's plan. I look forward to that day.
      Oh! And I should mention that I learned about a chain restaurant that is in about 30 or so states. It is called Clean Eatz, and they have a menu that is friendly to we bariatric patients. My support group last night talked about getting pizza and flatbreads from there. I checked it out and it looks like it's both eat-in and takeaway. This is the first place I'm going when I feel ready to eat out again
