1/3 a buffalo chicken wrap and 12 sour cream and onion Pringles.

192 calories, ate it all!

( I feel like they should be more calories but this is what MFP says, so...)

yep, in a bread and chips combo kick, i guess!

"vegetable chips" (see packaging below) and some "crack chicken" (basically chicken salad made with cream cheese and ranch seasoning) on a slice of homemade milk bread, topped with some melty brie.

716 calories for the plate.

obvs i was only really into the chips cuz i ate all of them and had like maybe 1/3 of the toast, tops. Mr ate the rest.

(so gonna update my MFP log to 461 cals for what i actually ate)

full disclosure: i am eating alot more calories these days cuz i drastically upped my exercise game (by choice, not necessity) and i figure i must be doing right cuz my clothes still fit, lol.

For the food porn lovers: a rather large Portuguese custard tart.

Now the story turns sour. I ate a third, then another third later in the day, gave the last third to my niece & then was violently ill. I was blaming the tart - too rich, too sweet,… This will teach me to stick to my eating. No more testing the waters. This is why you don’t go to these places. Etc., etc. Turned out it was a rather severe bout of my meniere’s. Usually I get the crazy room spinning first & if I don’t take my meds I can be sick. This time sick multiple times first then the vertigo hit. Couldn’t take my meds in fear of more vomiting. And yes it was the old, pre surgery, muscle wrenching sort. Groan! Think I will still blame the tart otherwise I’ll be back buying another one.

PS. This is from one of the many artisan bakeries that have opened up in a very small radius of my house & your old Brisbane residence @ms.sss over the last few years. Terrible, terrible temptation.

Breakfast:

chia seed pudding with ISO pure chocolate whey, cocoa powder, mixed berries and pumpkin seeds.
Had 4 bites and got too full, will try again later. Around 339 calories for the whole thing, I estimate to have eaten around 140 calories.

Very pretty. I despise tarts, so I’m blaming it also. A Croissant would never hurt you like this.

Thank you. It happens when the pressure in your ears builds up. It can even be affected by air pressure so when storms are brewing. In my case it’s genetic. My mother has it & my grandmother had it. We take meds (betasert/serc). but only when we start to experience symptoms though some take them every day. The vertigo is the worst!

These are more than a tart though @GreenTealael. Flaky puff pastry just like a croissant but with a delicious creamy custard filling. You have to try one.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
