Your favorite banded supper.....



Recommended Posts

Picadillo because it gives you flavorful Protein and you can serve with anything. You can have lettuce wraps, tortillas, tacos, with rice and Beans, with eggs....

1 medium onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1/4 cup stuffed pimento olives, chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Crushed red pepper flakes

1 (8-ounce) can Tomato sauce ( or chopped tomatoes)

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions, garlic, and pepper in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ground beef and olives and continue stirring to break up and brown the meat. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. When beef has browned, add tomato sauce gradually while stirring. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer to incorporate sauce

sometimes i substitute the olives with golden raisins and add some toasted almonds...or i keep the olives and add it anyway

Usually taco night at my house is my favorite! While the hubby and kids are eating tacos (all the way) I am eating the veggies and refried Beans (fat free) with sour cream (fat free), cheese (fat free) and taco sauce with out the shell. Or going to any restaurant and having their soup....love, love, LOVE soup! It's my favorite! :hungry:

I'm with Kathy...I love Soup. And I make wonderful Soup, if I do say so myself. My specialties are potato cheese, broccoli cheese, chicken tortilla, cream of chicken, gumbo (chicken,sausage, seafood, or all 3), and homemade chili.

I try to stay away from the "cream of" Soups and when I do have them, I limit myself to one small bowl. I also make them with skim milk and/or fat free half and half.

      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.
