I would love a recipe. There's a roti restaurant in my area but the food isn't that great.

Whole Wheat Flour (Chapati Flour) – 2 cups

Salt – 1/2 tsp (optional)

Oil – 4 tsp (sun flower is best)

Warm Water – 3/4 cup

All-purpose flour

Chapatti flour – for rolling and dusting

Method:

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix Chapati Flour and Salt well.

2. Add Oil and mix until all lumps are gone.

3. Add Warm Water a little at a time to form a medium soft dough ball. Do not overwork the dough.

4. Add few drops of Oil and coat the dough ball. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

5. Heat Tawa or skillet on medium heat.

6. Knead the dough once and divide into golf ball size balls.

7. Dip one ball into the All-purpose flour to coat and roll it out into a thin disc. Keep dipping the rotli into the dry flour to prevent it from sticking to the rolling surface.

8. shake or rub off excess flour from the rotli and place it onto the hot tawa.

9. Flip to the other side once you see bubbles appear on the surface. Allow it to cook for 10-15 seconds.

10. Increase the stove heat to High, gently pick the rotli up with tongs, remove the tawa off of the flame, flip the roti over and place onto an open flame.

11. The rotli should balloon up. Flip it over and cook on the other side.

12. Place the cooked rotli into an insulated container and smear it with Ghee or clarified butter and repeat the process for the remaining dough. You can skip the ghee or clarified butter completely for a healthier roti. Or just use a small bit.

Oh and you can store the dough in the fridge overnight. And if you want to store it longer it goes into the freezer for up to two weeks. Healthier is to make small fresh portions everyday.

It's a flat bread' date=' wheat dough kneaded with Water and salt, and then cooked on a pan. 5-6 inches in diameter. You can google it, it's called a ROTI. Plus curry made out of black eyes peas, garlic and onions.. Very easy to make and tastes good.

I could eat half of the Roti and about 3 teaspoons of the curry.

I was told I could eat anything, as long as I stuck to healthy food, even rice, but just a tablespoon. He also told me a could occasionally drink a glass of red wine. I'm not asked to do Protein supplements.

      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.
