I just wanted to share a recipe that my husband and I did this week. He kept telling me that he had tried "Lettuce Wraps" a long time ago and liked them and we should try to make some. So we went to Sam's Club and picked up groceries and got the things we needed to make them. They turned out so good! I really like them and it's only 150 calories per wrap. If one is not filling enough for you (It is for me right now) then you can eat a second one and still get filled up on 300 calories! I added avocado the first time I made them and it was really good. That's not part of the recipe so you'd have to add the calories for that.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Here is a link to the recipe:

I went back to MyFitnessPal and did some research. Here is what I found when I searched for this problem in the Help database:

"Currently the "full-fledged" recipe sharing isn't a live feature on MFP..

what you CAN do is create the recipe in your account, log a serving of the recipe to your food diary, make sure your food diary is visible to friends and you're friends with the family you want to access it...

they come view YOUR diary from THEIR account and click "quick tools > copy to today" on the website.

On the iOS and Android apps you click the wrench / spanner in the header with the meal name > copy to today."

So, my user name there is the same as here "PhotoLover8". I made sure that my profile is visible to "everyone" so no one has problems looking at it. I hope this helps! Sorry, I didn't know this was an issue before I posted it.

And just in case that doesn't work either or it's too much trouble, here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

- 1 lb of Lean Ground Beef or Ground Turkey

- 1 Large Green Pepper

- 1 Large Red Pepper

- Laughing Cow Light Swiss cheese Wedges

- Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- Romaine Lettuce Hearts

Instructions:

- Cook your pound of lean beef or turkey and season to taste.

- Cut both large peppers into 10ths and saute in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

- Take a romaine lettuce leaf and cut off about an inch of the harder part of the leaf (it doesn't fold well and your food will fall out.)

- Open your laughing cow light swiss cheese wedge and spread it in the center of the romaine leaf.

- Add 2 oz of your cooked meat

- Add 1 strip of each of the peppers

- Eat up!

      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.
