Its a Wrap!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I was browsing The World According to Eggface and I came across her "Master List" of wraps, using low carb whole wheat tortillas. Being an on-the-go person, I am always lugging little containers of healthy goodness everywhere with me, and I can appreciate the simplicity and convenience of a wrap. Even though I have sworn off carbs for now, I think I ill make an exception for the tortillas mentioned here - 80cals/12 g carbs/2 g Protein. (They are more like soft taco size Im assuming) I think that one of these puppies with some turkey, cheese and veggie inside would probably last 2 meals with me. Anyway heres the link:

She also uses these tortillas for homemade pizzas, which look so so tasty!

I love wraps, and during my losing stage I did skip the tortillas and used romaine lettuce hearts, or other hearty lettuce varieties instead of tortillas.

the other night I made Protein style burgers. Basically it was a mini slider (very lean ground beef) wrapped in lettuce. My husband loved it. I just ate the cheeseburger (I am still not cleared for raw veggies yet). If you live near an In-N-Out burger, this is on their secret menu. :D

Ohhh that sounds so delish. I do miss In n Out, to think I used to have Double-Double with fries - both Animal style :/ YIKES!

The slider sounds like such a good idea, esp with the hot Cali weather coming, those would be perfect for a BBQ. Grilled chicken strips w buffalo sauce would be good Protein style too. Yum.

I discovered using spring roll wrappers instead of tortillas for even lower carb count. All this talk of tasty wraps makes me think of making skinny cheeseburgeritos, tubes of grilled burger rather than flat patties, minced Tomato, cheese, slivered pickle, mayo & mustard, all wrapped up tight in a thick lettuce leaf. Two or three of those, each no bigger than a small cigar, sounds yu-um!!

      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.
