Bahahahaha! Is that a tortilla chip (singular) on your lovely poppy plates? :) And what's in the first pic? And I love all of your piccys!

I also think we should encourage Matt to compile all of his goodies into one daily food pic! :D

I thought I should relate this especially to Tea: My yogurt smelled a little dicey this afternoon, but I figured, "Meh, I'll give it a gamble." (You know, cuz I thought of you throwing out your good yogurt due to the expi date being past its prime.) Well, that might not have been the smartest decision I've ever made. I'm not feeling so fresh and lively right now. :( :51_scream:

Maybe? LOL. But I'm thinking this might be a case where Refrigerator Roulette wins. It hasn't happened in a while. :(

My stomach is sensitive to suggestion. Someone says "Did that fish taste funny?" and my stomach is doing somersaults. Let's not even talk about when I was on a plane next to puking girl :wacko:. I had all nausea and no sympathy since it was a flight from Vegas, and I doubt she was "sick"

Ok, final totals for today

Today:
Woke up at 0450
0515 coffee with a splash of fat free milk and a splash of sugar free sweetener/creamer - unknown, 50 calories maybe?

0800 1 Larabar - 200 calories
1030 1 bag of Kay's Protein Kruncheeze chips - 130 calories
Missed lunch... Thanks work..
1500 - Just the cheese, cheese bars, 150 calories
1730 1/4 of a meatball wrap (I think I ate maybe 1.5 meatballs, whatever cheese, wrap and sauce was in that, no way to gauge calories really, but lets shoot high and say...) 250 calories?

So, I'm now past 6pm, so no more food for me today if I stick to my guns, that puts me at around 780 calories or so intake and my fitbit is reporting 2073 calories of burn as of this moment.

Ha! So we went to a lovely multi-level marketing opportunity/presentation last night that was thinly disguised as talk on optimizing nutrition by upping veggies and fruit consumption. I've been reading up on the use of dehydrated powdered veggies and super fruits/berries to try to see if that would be an easy way to up consumption of v/f. Turns out it was a 2 hour pitch for Juice+ Vitamins made from veggies/fruits. :51_scream::blink::unsure: By the end of it I wanted to shout, "Set my people free!!!!" Or at least shout, "Spartacus!!!" Or something. The product may have merit--will just have to study it better and see, but still--sheesh!

I used that to leverage a bid to go to our little cheap Italian place again cuz this time, I felt like sinning. :( :angry: So I did. And I did sin too. Thankfully no pictures exist, but it was enough that I had to come home and fight being sick as a result.

I will just tell you there was homemade bread with olive oil, parmesan, garlic, caper and roasted red pepper dipping oil and wine involved. Those were the sinners at the party. There was also 1/2 small Greek salad loaded with feta and olives, and there was one bite of chicken and one bite of grilled broccoli with garlic. Those were the saints in attendance. Oy veh. Will I ever learn? The bread and oil tasted so great going down and sat like a bomb within 30 minutes making me want to turn green and die.

I'm not gonna post pics from yesterday cuz Breakfast was a repeat of the day before and you already saw what that looked like. But I did add a squirt of SF Hershey's Choco Syrup to it and it tasted really good! Yum! Then lunch ended up being a couple ounces of leftover grilled chickie + the leftover 1/4 of the Egg Foo Young from earlier in the week (you already saw a pic of that too. LOL.) So alls you get is my mea culpa crap food log from yesterday. It's a sobering site and makes me want to go walk an hour at my top speed!

Sick. Thanks NYC... But I did eat so here's photos, same thing for two days. Made Soup from the original meal. Worked out. What's missing is yogurt, Peanut Butter and chocolate.

I say at about 1000 cals both days. Endless amounts of fluids to try and cripple this bug. Going back to bed.

No IF yesterday as expected, with an early breakfast and dinner plans. Unfortunately I also ate craptasticaly 2 of the meals, and not so great for the third. But Protein, fluids, and supplement goals met, so that is something. So @FluffyChix you did better than I did confining yourself to one meal!

Had a good day today, ate within a 4 hr window. Pushed out to a late lunch. Went to a Japanese Shabu Shabu and Korean Hot Pot fusion restaurant. It was AYCE, so I knew I'd never get my money's worth. But then learned the price was $30 :o! So I was determined to get at least some of my money's worth. So I basically grazed over a long meal. I'm good with this because it was all pure protein and Condiments. But I paid like $10/oz of meat, so, yeah :wacko:. Happy that protein, supplement and fluid goals were all met.

(I consider protein goals met if I am over 50g)

Feel better @GreenTealael :)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
