Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I just shared my dinner with two of my dogs....



Recommended Posts

I thought I would treat myself today and bought some tamales at a Mexican grocery store (a total treat), figuring that with my current restriction, that I would have to cut them in 1/2 to eat 1/2 at a time. And sure enough, these suckers are ginormous and I couldn't even eat a 1/2 tamale. So, the Lab got the majority of the chicken (I have trouble with meat if it is not moist enough) from inside and a smaller dog got some of the masa part. I wasn't really hungry, so that could be part of it, but I'm heading out to something, where I won't be able to eat and had to eat something before leaving. I will make up with a Protein Drink when I am done for the night.

I struggle with tamales. Shredded chicken and my band are bitter enemies :angry:

I struggle with the taco shell, or tortilla part too, so I usually skip that part and just eat the insides. As far as the chicken, chicken breast are way too dry and stringy for me, but chicken thighs are nice and moist. Yes, they have a bit more fat on them, but I just cut the fat out of my food somewhere else so I can get the Protein in.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
