Flour Tortillas and Almond Milk



Recommended Posts

Okay guys....two questions!!

1. How does everyone do with Flour Tortillas????

2. Does anyone know about Almond Milk....I know it sounds weird, but my friend who has just recieved her "personal trainer" certification swears by it. She mixes it in her morning protien shake everyday and loves it. She brought me over some today and made me a shake with my shake stuff, the almond chocolate milk, and frozen cherries.....OMG....it was great it tasted like choclate covered cherries...!! I just wanted to know if anyone else has tried this type of milk and your thoughts!!

I can't do tortillas when I'm feeling any restriction. I get stuck almost every time. If it's toasted to mostly crunchy I can eat it but then I try to avoid them because of the carbs.

I have one of those little burrito makers that I use every now and then. I put in meat or eggs, and cheese wraped in a tortilla. The machine toasts it all up and melts the insides.

hmmmm - I'm making myself hungry

i eat the corn tortillas without any problems. the flour ones are harder to get broke down and they seem sticky! they are also double the calories, one flour is 120 cal while you get two corn for 120.

The almond milk sounds good - but not enough Protein for me

I can eat both flour & corn tortillas - I have gotten stuck on corn that was only warmed over gas flame - but when fried no problem - flour I can do if i take small bites and eat slowly - had a burrito last nite for dinner.

Flour tortillas make me spit up.. but I think it may be that I don't chew them well enough. However, even with a conscious effort, I have issues.. so I just marked them off my list. Never a huge fan of them to begin with.

Almond milk sounds interesting.. the unsweetened kind, do you just drink it and it's sweet or what?

I just took a wheat tortilla and put a little pizza sauce on it and broiled it in the oven for 7 minutes. It made it all crunchy and easy to eat, not to mention delicious.

I have not tried almond milk but I absolutely adore soy milk.

I eat the almond milk with my ceral everyday, it tastes good with life ceral, its 80 calories for a cup, but I only use a 1/2 cup.

I got mine at Trader Joes, they have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and Regular.

Regular was 1.69 all others were about 2.00

      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.
