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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
