Came up with this before hitting the gym. Spinach tortilla with a piece of turkey bacon, oven roasted sliced turkey, fat free ranch reduced fat cheese and crushed red pepper for flavor. Low fat and not heavy on your stomach. I'm not chef boy r dee (did i spell that right??) lol, so my diet pretty much consists of 3 20g-25g Protein shakes a day. I try to keep it as simple as possible. I recently added snacking between 2 of my meals a day into my diet. Gave me more energy and made the scale drop a lot faster. I'm able to eat bread and tortillas but I'd rather leave the bread out and stick to spinach tortillas only instead of regular since they are only 15 calories for each wrap and don't get me as full and stuffed feeling.

Psst, aim higher than that. If you say "I'm no James Beard," you'll be taken far more seriously as the new Bariatric Pal chef.

Serious question because I'm curious: Do you cook much for yourself?

Can you actually finish that in one sitting??

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

No, i cut them in half. And each half is between 3-4 inches. If your asking if i can finish the whole wrap in one sitting, NO. But i can finish half in 15 minutes. Each half is only 3 bites. Unless you nibbling like you 2 weeks post op lol

I don't know if you're interested in doing more cooking. You might like it. It can be a creative activity. It's up to you of course, but I hope you don't mean you're living on egg whites, turkey bacon and oatmeal.

I am living on egg whites turkey bacon and oatmeal lol and Protein shakes of course. But I'm not a good cook. Trust me, i tried to chef it up a couple times but it always turned out to be wasted money and wasted food.

You should see the look on subway lady's face when I ask her to slice my 12 inch tuna sub in to 6 parts. I make six meals out of it and I have difficulty finishing each meal at one sitting.

      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.
