Hey phinix, how much weight have you lost?

In few days (19th) its going to be 2 months post surgery. Overall I lost ~28kg.
However, now weight slows down, body learnt what is my intake now, metabolism is slower than before surgery, that means sometimes my weight stays the same for week, even if I only eat around 600cals a day. Weird as hell, but that's how it works.

[fohat.digs]

I cannot drink whole glass at once!

3 attempts with half an hour between to drink a pint of beer - at least you could theoretically never get drunk!

Yeah, I quess I would not be able
I cannot drink alcohol anymore, but in theory it would be the case.
But in the past 0.5l of vodka couldn't make me drunk, so in any circumstances chances would be slim

Yeah, it is a lot, even for gastric sleeve.
First 11kg I lost during pre-surgery diet - liquid only, it was around 10 days. Then surgery - removing stomach, 2 days in hospital - another 4kg. Then rest of it was till now, so yeah, pretty good achievement.
However now, I lose around 1kg per week, so not too much.

Today's harvest, and like last year, the peppers and small yellow tomatoes are doing best.

[tp4tissue]

yellow peppers are so versatile.  and like all peppers bugs stay away, you don't have to do anything.

[phinix]

Teriyaki salmon ramen. My family is addicted to my cooking, especially ramen
Made for Saturday dinner.

[fohat.digs]

Looks awesome!
That bowl must be at least double your 190 ml limit ....

[Findecanor]

Looks delicious. I like noodles. Made (a kind of..) yakisoba today. I wish I could eat cured eggs.

In the last five months or so, I have held a diet designed to avoid upsetting my gall bladder. That means, low fat, no eggs, no apples, no green peppers and no cucumbers, in addition to being vegetarian.
Before that I had lost >25 kg of body weight, most due to my lymphoma, but 10 kg in dec-january after surgery  because of that gall bladder acting up right when my body needed protein to heal.
After treatment for lymphoma in feb-march, I have been able to regain about 12 kg, but I'm afraid that most of that could be around my stomach. I have increased more exercise. Bike more. Lift weights a little, and eat more tofu and low-fat cottage cheese so as to try to build muscle instead of gaining the wrong type of body mass.

[phinix]

Thanks Oh yeah! That is not my bowl
That one is I think around 900ml, I only ate about 150ml of ramen, well, drunk, with just a bit of salmon and few noodles...

One of my tomato plants is particularly large and bushy, but I have gotten very little from it.

Today I was walking by, and caught a tiny flash of red deep in the interior. When I started searching around inside, I had a bonanza!

I started off with a ketogenic diet a year and a half ago, but keto is a hassle to manage, so I moved to 'mostly carnivore', which is simple to manage.  I've lost 120 pounds since then.

[fohat.digs]

I had not had a decent peach all summer until now, but I just got one that was fantastic.

Peaches are either perfect or worthless, and 97% of them are the latter.

I think this year is first year in my life when I ate loads of strawberries. I never had so much of them in my life, always felt unsatisfied.
But I am this year



I'm gonna go and have few more

[noisyturtle]

Ate an entire pizza yesterday, so nothing but a couple martinis today. Not a bad lunch.

[phinix]

Sunday dinner with some sweet addition today
Penne pasta with Neapolitan sauce, then vanilla cake with peaches.

I ate two slices of pizza that had some sort of honey garlic sauce and pepper on them, left overs.

Today I made Moroccan Harira.
First time tried it, pretty interesting flavours, totally new to us, family liked it.

[tp4tissue]

One can almost smell the spices through the photo.

Yeah, it was pretty interesting, never tried any Moroccan food before. I did not eat a lot, just few spoons, but was nice. Recommended.

[phinix]

Turkish eggs for today's breakfast.
Also did that for a first time, I don't eat eggs, but my ladies said it was very nice, so recommended

[phinix]

This day ended pretty well, food wise
As I "infected" my family with love to sushi, I've been making it for well over 15 years. Every here and there, my daughter requests sushi and I just cannot say no to her
So here's few from today's sushi session...

[noisyturtle]

Eating a lot of Trader Joe's products lately. Damn, they have some really delicious stuff there you can't really get anywhere else.

I was not planning to take any honey from my bees this year, but a pest treatment that I needed to do required that I remove the stored honey.
The bees were not pleased but my family and friends will be.

Woooooow! I love honey!
...I wonder how much is postage US-Scotland nowadays

How do you like to eat honey? What do you add it to?

[fohat.digs]

I love honey!

How do you like to eat honey?

If there is any reasonable place where you could set a hive you should consider doing it.
Shown is about 9 liters and one moderately strong hive produced it in about 3-4 months.

It will cost a few hundred dollars (minimum $500-$600 US for the full "starter kit" and you must not skip the protective clothing!) but it is quite rewarding and you will do Planet Earth a favor.

I don't really eat much honey since I try to limit carbohydrates, but it is my preferred sweetener for just about any kitchen production. (~ baklava ~)
And until recently it was also the preferred dressing for skin wounds. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3941901/

Some random food I made recently.

Sautéed chorizo with red wine and honey



Some lunch break sandwiches.
Of course, its not all for me, my stomach now accepts one of these, but at least I know I can have it now!

[phinix]

Penne pasta with chicken in spicy dill cream sauce.



Today's dinner, Subway-like teriyaki chicken sandwich with home made Chipotle South-West sauce.

i wish i was capable of presenting food like phinix, 5 star restaurant level no doubt the taste matches the presentation.

Thank you, guys! I'm happy you like it

phinix is the GH chef

Even when I make something good it seldom looks ( or presents? ) well, and is almost never in the realm of these mouth-watering photos.

But in terms of my work-a-day horticultural efforts, my little crabapple tree produced fruit for the first time this year. I got about 4 lb ~ 2 kg! Time to make jelly.

These look nice. I had to google it to find out what these are - never seen them before. What size are these? Like grapes or bigger, like walnuts?
What do you do with them? Maybe jam?

[fohat.digs]

Slightly larger than grapes, and very sour. Almost nobody eats them raw, but they make good jelly.
At least I hope that mine turns out good. It took me well over 2 hours to clean and prep the little devils!

[Rhienfo]

Yeah I lurk this thread and I don't know how you make food look so appealing. Everytime I cook it doesn't look that good. Still enjoy the food though.

Sounds like jam could be good too, loads of sugar and done
Let us know how good that jelly was when you make it.
I love Jelly, always loved them since was a littel kid.

Thanks Rhienfo. To be honest, I've been cooking for years and did not really pay attention to presentation, always focused on flavor.
Just recently I wanted to queeze some more from food as it is, I wanted to play around to make it more desired, if you know what I mean.
It nothing amazing what I do, I've seen some reaaaaaly nice presented dishes and I would love to be able to do that, but it then takes more than you think - special ingrediens, high quality ones, expensive and hard to get most of the cases, then specific processing which I would need to learn, then presentation techniques - lots of things I will probably never achieve. But, I like what I do, it makes me happy and my family love my cooking, so missions accomplished. I would also like to have some friends around that I could also cook for, but I don't have so just my wife and daughter are the testers And now I have you guys I can share photos with

Like you said, most important thing is what you already achieved - you are happy with your food, you enjoy eating it, this is the most important thing - look is not always a priority. Some dishes I make look kinda awful, but once taste... you're in heaven
