Healthy Fajita yumminess



Recommended Posts

I LOVE mexi food, I mean totally love it. The problem with US mexi resturants is the food tends to be loaded with salt, which is why the hubs and I don't go often. A friend of mine who is married to a great guy from Mexico, gave me the following recipe for a healthy fajita meal.

1 large chicken breast cut into strips

1 large onion cut into strips

1 large pepper cut into strips

1 teaspoon of cumin

dash of lime juice

salt and pepper to taste

In a skilled I put a little canola oil let it get warm, add the onion and peppers - sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. When the the onion has begun to turn transluncent move the veggies to one side and add the chicken to the other. Cook for a min, then stir and add the cumin. Allow to cut until the chicken is almost done and add lime juice- a touch more salt/pepper if wanted.

Along with this I fixed refried Beans.

In a skilled with a touch of oil I cooked a diced onion and 3 cloves of grated garlic- when that was almost done I added a can of fat free, low sodium refried Beans and flated them down. Add a half a can of Water and stir. Once mixed well, sprinke with low fat cheese.

This recipe serves 4 people and is sooooo good. I just eat the faijta mixed on top of my beans and don't eat a shell- to cut the carbs.

If you try this let me know if you like.

Uck... the chicken part sound good, but I can't eat refried Beans. They don't like me! LOL Thanks for the recipe!

I use to hate refried Beans to, but then a friend fixed them this way and I learn to like them. They aren't as "glopie" fixed this way. Great flavor and the texture is much better than at most resturants. I never order them any where I will only eat my own and my friends.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
