Tortillas Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Ok so i was thinking of making myself a healthy meat wrap with butter lettuce, easy melt cheese, and black Forrest Ham. I then made the wrap out of 1 tortilla and i was only able to eat half taking my time with chewing good. I felt better eating this tortilla wrap than with the sandwhich i had the other day . I guess its because its thinner?

I have also heard of other substitutes you can buy that are egg related bread wraps? or do you have one you recommend for me to buy somewhere? I feel pretty great after eating it and i did alot of yard work cleaning up garden beds today .

thanks, and im finally out of this plateau. I guess i needed some carbs to kick it! 🤗

I eat flatbread made from flax and I put ground beef in it. It tastes delish and is instead of bread. Goes down really well1576461514177.jpeg 20191210_184900.jpeg

Try Joseph’s lavash bread. Extremely thin and I only need 1/4 of one wrap which equates to 30 calories. Made from flax and oat bran. Tastes good too.

I used to like ole extreme wellness high Fiber low carb tortilla wraps, or Tumaros carbwise wraps either ancient grains, flax, or 7 grain with chia.
I think they rebranded since I bought them last in fresh Market.

also I used to buy great low carb bread company Bread and Bagels. For example a bagel is 120 calories, 16 grams carbs, 14 grams fiber, 14 grams Protein. They make a nice thin Pizza Crust too. And made of healthier ingredients. I usually would get it from Netrition.com but this is their website

i forgot, if you like burgers ... smart Buns ... zero carbs and low calories

I've used Flat Out products a lot. They're a lower carb flatbread you can use as a wrap.

some people on an other bariatric site I'm on use wraps that are made of cheese. I've seen them in the store but have never tried them.

Nope, one year post-op sleeve and I still can't eat bread or tortillas. They give me the foamies. My stomach doesn't like anything doughy.

Yup, same here. Flatout is really good and I like the cheese wraps, but a lot of calories for me right now due to all the fat. I'll be good for later and for making hard shell tacos!

If you are not adverse to making your own, I've used this recipe and I like it (so does the fam, who are regular carb eaters, lol):

https://www.ruled.me/low-carb-tortillas/

132 cals per serving, 2.1 NET carbs.

P.S. You can further lower the calorie and fat content by substituting the butter ingredient in all or in part ;)

      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.
