Quesadilias recipe



Recommended Posts

okay I needed a change today so I made Quesadillas for lunch. If you have half of one it is 125 calories, 8 gr Protein and 10 gr carbs (3 if you count net carbs, because I used low carb tortillas that had 15 gr Fiber each)

1 Carb Balance Flour Tortilla

1/4 cup Mexican Blend cheese

2 1/2 slices of Canadian Bacon

I put the cheese and bacon on one side of the tortilla and folded it over. then I cooked on a small skillet sprayed with Pam over medium heat and flipped over after about 3 minutes. cook until cheese is melted inside.

Then I cut it into 4 small pieces and ate 2 of them for lunch. You could also eat with 2 tablespoons of salsa or sour cream.

this is a pc of the kind of tortillas I used. I think there are lower carb varieties out there, just couldn't find them at the grocer.

they were VERY easy to make! And a nice treat for a change and something the whole family can enjoy. you could add different meats. If you have some leftover rotisserie chicken, shrimp or even crawfish.

I totaled the nutrition counts for all 3 ingredients used and divided by 2 (half on one) to get the numbers I posted above.

      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.
