Hey good lookin' whatcha got cookin?



Recommended Posts

Always loved this 1951 catchy little tune by Hank Williams... And, these days sequestered at home feeling more like a 1950's homemaker (without the dress and heels, of course) with each day that passes by. Preparing three square meals daily with the dishes and pans in the sink to prove it! LOL. Actually, a nice change having hubby work from home for a spell meeting him for lunch in eat-in kitchen.

Anyone else feel like you are living the movie Groundhog day!??? I certainly do! Let's share some of our nutritious, healthy and fun favorites (and, permissible comfort foods during these trying times) keeping our spirits lifted and moving forward positively at any WLS stage. Variety is the spice of lock down days as we each pursue what works best for our body. One method or food choice plan does not fit all. Excited to see whatcha all got cookin'!?

Soooo here goes... A favorite Breakfast for my Weight Maintenance Stage is homemade rolled oats with apples, raisins, unsalted raw walnuts or pecans, a dash of cinnamon and brown sugar once a week. I like 1% milk over it, but wait to drink liquid after 30 minutes of digestion. That cinnamon infused milk is so delicious and so satisfying... I am usually full after ¾ to 1 cup shown here.

Easter dinner comprised of one lamb chop with mint apple jelly, roasted green Beans and ¼ baked white potato with crispy skin. Six banana wheels with a smug of natural Peanut Butter and peanuts on top for dessert. Was so excited to eat a baked potato and lamp chop in over 16 months... I forgot to take pictures! We did take pictures of our walk afterwards in the preserve behind our home. Easter basket for mother-in-law on lock down in her memory care facility. Any favorite Easter dinners out there to post?

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
