    Sort of iffy so far today. Quick soup with what was there (onions, butternut squash, powdered stock, rice noodles, a bit of curry and Sriracha). Starbucks egg white and spinach wrap and creme brûlée almonds. Somewhere in there a couple of slices of rye bread (89g) with pistachios in honey (28g of them) protein a bit low so far

    Don't see any mini chipits there with your yogurt and raspberries, Yooly! That would go so well :)

    I had brussels sprouts a few times this week - they were soooo good !!!

    Oof, I know I mentioned in here that I am having the gastric sleeve surgery. I'm on full meal replacement shakes since yesterday. And I had an EGD (so propofol) yesterday.

    So it's meal replacement shakes thrice a day (I am doctoring the chocolate flavored powder with a splash of fairlife skim milk and decaf coffee granules for flavor, plus the water to mix them) and loads of hot herbal tea. Honeybush pumpkin Chai with a splash of skim milk, minty comfort, peppermint, Raspberry patch and elderberry wine. I also have a nasty cold, so the tea is nice.

    Oooof. That. Does. Not. Sound. Too. Comfy!
    You could probably have survived just FINE--WITHOUT the cold cherry topping!
    How soon are you expected to be in top form and back at work?

    I negotiated my way out of trouble with the girl by trading LOBSTER for her squash!

    November 13th. The meal replacement is pre-surgery. Afterwards it's clear liquids for a couple days, then full liquids for the remainder of the first 2 weeks post op, then a couple weeks of pureed/soft food diet. I am scouring the 'net for a good cream.of chicken soup recipe I can doctor up :)

    Soon! Sounds like you are going to be fully prepared. Can you include jello (gelatin) in your days of clear liquids?

    Sugar-free jello,yeah. And fortunately I love it. Stocking up on lime, orange and black cherry.

    My body didn’t get the memo that we got an extra hour of sleep due to time change. So I was up an hour earlier today than needed. Decided to make a pot roast in the crock pot. Little bit of onion and potatoes and carrots. Looking forward to dinner tonight!

    What to eat on days in November when it’s 85+ degrees? Obviously not soup weather. Looks like the end of the week and future looks more promising for “winter” foods. This might explain why I’m eating yogurt and cereal for dinner!

    Oh my oh my oh my.... I had a long long long ago frozen commercial pumpkin pie sitting in the freezer. I took it apart! FROZEN! With a pair of knives and other instruments! Separated the crust from the insides! Logged the difference for the day... because let's face it we all knew that all of the 1300 Calories that were left were going to get eaten! (Turfed the crust pieces. Logged the inside of pie at the full pie calories per gram so definitely didn't underestimate given that the crust has comparatively more calories per gram).

    One of the pie sections (the top/over the crust edge more cooked part) was consumed during deconstruction. Some was consumed after it has mostly thawed like crust less pie.... but about HALF got mixed into half a can of pure pumpkin (not pie mix can but pure pumpkin). With three drops of sucralose. And a bit of pumpkin spice... and a bit of pure cinnamon. AND... some greek yogurt! The yogurt helped round up the macros a bit!

    Near the end of the day caved a bit and added variety with about 600 Cal of chili and baked potato at Wendy's while saving some of the pumpkin "mix" for today The mix was better today than it was yesterday. I mean not as good as the undiluted inside of the pie.. but definitely NOT terrible. Split the logging of the Wendy stuff with today. Oh well. It is all the same person and I wasn't wildly over/under anyway.

    The adventure continues! :blush:
