Favorite foods since being banded?

[missgypsy 1]

Since you've been banded what are your favorite foods to eat now since your diets have changed?

Mine is baked cod with twice baked taters made the low fat way. I also crave Beans lol. I could eat them everyday and be a happy camper. I never really was a bean person but now I like them. Weird :thumbup:.

So what are your favorite foods?

Okay, this is weird, I love Wendy's chili (small) now. I rarely ate it before being banded, but I could eat it everyday now. It is 190 calories and like 14g of Protein. I also eat a lot more skinless chicken breasts.

Could I get the recipe for the turkey taco Soup?

Sure.. it's very easy.

1 lb grnd turkey (try to use 90/10 or better. not all ground turkey is lean.. read the labels!)

1 bag Kroger frozen onions & peppers (or use fresh onions & bell peppers..The bag is 10oz, so I would guess 1/2 cup each of fresh)

2 cans Pinto Beans, drained & rinsed (approx 15 oz)

1 can black Beans, drained & rinsed (approx 15 oz)

2 cans rotel tomatoes (approx 10 oz) (aka tomatoes with green chilies)

1 cup frozen cut corn (OPTIONAL)

1 pkg taco seasoning

1 pkg ranch dressing mix

Water as needed.

Brown turkey and frozen onions/peppers together. Drain. Return to pot. Add remainder of ingredients. Simmer as long as you can stand it. You will need to add a little Water as it is very thick.

Serve as is or with a dollop of sour cream (for those w/o a weight issue) or non fat s. cream or non fat plain greek yogurt for those who are being careful of calories.

The corn does add some high glycemic carbs, but w/o it the soup looses some color appeal. Original recipe called for a whole can of creamed corn.. I backed it down to healthier frozen corn and only 1 cup.

Very forgiving recipe.. you can make all kinds of adjustments according to your needs and it still seems to work.

When I first started cooking with turkey, I added beef bouillon.. now we don't as we have adjusted to the milder taste.

Enjoy!

Also BariatricEating.com has a recipe for a marvelous White chicken Chili. yum yum

I agree w/the Wendy's chili!

I also eat vegetarian refried Beans w/lettuce, Tomato. Or often in the mornings I eat salsa w/an egg and a bit of veg refried Beans.< /p>

Mine Too!! I just made some this weekend and it was so good!

[Grandma26 1]

I am right there with the Wendy's chili! It is so satisfying to me. I found the recipe for it on line and I will be making some this weekend.

I seem to crave broiled fish now. I ate fish before but now I want it all the time. My tastes have changed over the last year, some things I ate before being banded are not appealing to me anymore, which is a good thing since I was a junk food junkie!
