Bread

[AmandaWho 158]

Hi Where in NY are you? I'm getting the sleeve in 7 days ....are you glad you got it?

I live on Long Island. I'm so happy with t. The first 4 days I was miserable but that's normal. After that hump, I've been great! I'm down 26 lbs in a month and a half (including pre-op). I'm eating better foods. I feel good. And I'm excited to continue seeing results!

It's a sad, sad life haha. But you get used to it!

Craving a cheeseburger steak and hot wings lol but when I can I'll find a way to make pulled buffalo chicken

I took two chicken breasts, covered them with wing sauce, and put them in my slow cooker for about 5 hours. They were juicy and shredded easily. I put the meat in a plastic container, added some addition wing sauce and shook it up to coat evenly. Tonight I took a couple of ounces, put it in a bowl with some more wing sauce and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese. 40 seconds in the microwave and I had tangy buffalo chicken. My stomach had no problem with the spice (YMMV).

I am at the soft food stage - shredded chicken is one of the "allowed" foods. Next week I can try low-carb wraps.

You will live trust me ...lol.. seriously bread does not have to be a part of our diets anymore. I won't be eating it anymore. There are lots of other options that are healthier.

I tried a low card flax seed wrap a couple of weeks ago with fajitas. I ended up just eating the fajitas. The wrap was delicious but too filling. I don't think our stomachs have room for that stuff right now.

My clinic dietician actually scolded me for not eating ENOUGH carbs once I was on solid foods and made it a goal for me to eat whole grain crackers or toast once a day. I try to choose options that also have Protein if I can. Follow the advice of your dietician and/or surgeon, as plans vary wildly.

When I get to the stage I can eat something crunchy I plan on trying this recipe: http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2013/10/cheesy-crackers-simple-joy-of-homemade.html

I'm also in New York. I'm upstate in the Binghamton area and I'm so happy I chose this journey. Life is so much better thus far. I'm 6 1/2 months out almost and I am down 97 pounds total. Life Changer.
