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.

      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.
