I was told if you subtract the carbs from the Fiber you get the "net carbs" so lets say it says 21 carbs and 11 fiber your net carbs are 10... Meaning only 10 g carbs... Anyone else hear of that???

I was on a Quest for healthy comfort food recipes last night and found this:

I used a small Mission Carb Balance flour tortilla (80 calories' date=' 13 carbs but 9 grams of fiber so really not bad, 3 grams of protein), about a tablespoon of the avocado sauce and crammed 3 ounces of the chicken onto the taco. It was light and bright and crunchy and absolutely delicious (and the 9 year old loved it). We didn't have ancho chili seasoning so I used lawry's fire roasted chile and garlic seasoning.

Per MFP-1 soft taco with 3 ounces chicken was 263 calories and 26 grams of Protein, 19 carbs but again 9 of those were fiber..... Definitely going on my favorites list!!!

Fish again. I love the fish but I don't know if eating it every day is good. It's my go to meal when nothing else interests me, which seems to be most nights. I bought a couple crab cakes to try tomorrow.

I've been eating alot of fish too. Probably between lunch and dinner 5-6 times a week. I know there's a mercury issue but I eat so little I don't think it's a problem for me. Also I heard somewhere that it can up your ureic acid possibly causing gout. But again I eat so little I'm not sure if it would be an issue.

I had a cheeseburger. I mean...pre op it would have been small...but I ate it. Then felt totally disgusting. I cringed as I stepped on the scale this morning. Ready to take whatever punishment was rightfully deserved after such a gluttonous meal...down TWO POUNDS! That proves that sometimes the scale is going to do whatever it's going to do...

      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.
