Recommended Posts

Some one posted a meat ball receipe and i tried it. It was great.

1 lbs hamburger meat

spices garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, basil

mozz cheese

split in half, and quarters and 1/8th s

take each piece and roll, flaten, put one piece of cheese in middle cover and roll

I browned in pan and then finished in oven at 300 for 20 minutes.

They were great.

My husband said you didn't put any bread in it?

NO

It can't be good,

Then he tried them ...... Hey they are pretty good.

I put some ragu sauce on them (2Tbl spoons) and some parm cheese. I can only eat 2 but they really satisfy and craving.

Prior to my surgery, I never liked meatballs. But I found some at costco, made by Aidell's that I really enjoy (fyi)... they are chicken teriyaki meatballs. I might have to try this recipe tho! Thanks for posting it.

I'm more of a meat sauce girl myself. And when cooking for a family meat sauce seems to go farther than meatballs.

I love meatballs!! They are GREAT for me post sleeve as I pre-make them and then they are quick on the go.

I haven't though to add to cheese to them, I might do that as it would up the Protein. When I make meatballs I add greek yogurt to them! You cannot taste it, but it adds Protein AND it keeps them moist and keeps them from falling apart :) Oh, and I make this with ground turkey. I mix it with the yogurt and the spices, then let it sit for a few hours. It really absorbs the flavor of the spices :) YUMMY!

I have a taste for turkey meatballs myself and I never had them before, but I saw something on eggface that sounded delicious.

Hmmmm......meatballs! I had some from Ikea the other day with my hubby. He was very hungry and got the chicken/rib dinner plate and then told me to get the TWENTY meatball plate. BWAHAHAHAHA. I told him I was probably going to eat FOUR of the twenty. He said "no problem", I'll eat the rest.

And he did! Amazing. I can't believe how much he can eat and not gain weight (he's on a low carb, high Protein diet too, but not sleeved, obviously!). I used to be able to eat the 15 piece plate with fries and a dessert, no problem. I barely got through 4 pieces and 2 bites of veggies.

I have a recipe for meatballs with cheese in the center somewhere. They were called Volcano meatballs and my husband daughter and I all love them. Pre surgery we loved to make meatball subs with them.

      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.
