One of my favorite things to eat....



Recommended Posts

I use about 1/4 cup of "ranch-style" spicy pinto Beans that I make, heat them up, scramble an egg with it and put it on top of a tostada shell (think of a big round tortilla chip) which are about 56 calories each. I add a little salsa, a tiny bit of cheese and sometimes jalapeno slices. It's roughly maybe 250 or less) calories. This fills me up pretty good.

P.S. I also love low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese with peach/strawberry preserves.

That sounds yummy. I found some really good tuna the other day. It us actually a patty already made and comes in the pouches like the regular tuna. They had several flavors and they are nice bc I know exactly how many ounces I am getting without having to weigh it. And it is a good Protein source without having to eat plain tuna or add extra fat like mayo. Really good on top of a small salad with Dijon mustard. Which by the way is my new favorite condiments!

I bought that in the Mesquite Grilled flavor and also bought the Pink Salmon Teriyaki. They are from Bumble Bee. I am hoping they are good as I have not tried them yet. Was glad to read your post saying they are good. biggrin.gif

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
