Would the Quest chips work with your salsa ?

I ate a lot of salsa just after surgery. I didn't get any guidance on seeds, so I just threw my regular salsa in the blender and puréed it just to be safe.

Quest chips are like Quest Protein bars... but chips. :) They are high Protein and no/low carb, and the longer you go without eating any actual tortilla chips the more they start to taste "normal". Personally, I couldn't live without them.

I make my own salsa. I cut the tomatoes and jalapeños and pull the seeds from them. I roast them for great flavor first! Yummy!!!

I also make my own salsa and it is very easy! I eat a lot of it. Just had some for dinner with cheese and cucumbers.

Can of whole tomatos

1/2 jalapeno (with seeds scraped out)

2 cloves garlic

1/2 onion

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic salt

1 bunch cilantro (or I use dried cilantro and just dump some in - 1 to 2 tbsp. maybe)

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp. (or so) of lime juice

Dump it all in a blender and liquefy. I don't like chunky salsa.

I taste and add what I think it needs - usually a tad more salt and/or more lime juice and/or cilantro. The recipe actually also calls for 1 tsp of sugar but I haven't been using that since surgery. honestly it probably wouldn't be a problem since it is such a small amount; I just chose not to.

Regular tortilla chips = big and fat, where you came from !!!! I can't stress that enough. Qwest chips ONLY, low fat cheese on occasion ONLY, NO FAT CHEESE more regularly, or they'll never quit calling you fat and the wonderful tool of By Pass will be wasted on you. THE TRUTH . I eat salsa ( any and all types daily ) with no problems.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
