Awesome Recipes from the nutritionist



Recommended Posts

I have several recipes that are healthy and taste great!

The first one is your basic chili. I use ground turkey meat, but you can use regular. Ground turkey is better for you and doesn't taste that much different.

1 medium vidalla or sweet onion chopped

2 cans of red kidney Beans - drained

1 lb of cooked ground turkey

1 T of chili powder - make it mild or hot - your choice

1 can of diced tomatoes - you can add pepper or chilis if you like

1 cup of Water

mix all together and top with some cheese. Great protein!

============================================

Tex Mex Meatloaf

(again I use ground turkey, but you can make it beef)

1 1/2 lbs of ground turkey

3/4 cup uncooked oatmeal

1 egg

2 T onion flakes or you can use fresh chopped onions

2 t chili powder (make it mild or hot)

1/4 cup ketchup

Mix all ingredients together except for the ketchup.

Put in pan.

Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Top with ketchup and bake another 10 minutes.

Cut into small slices so it last longer and your body thinks it is eating more when you really aren't.

check out the food & nutrition forum:

Food and Nutrition - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

there is a sticky for all stages of "eating"....

I'm finding mushies to be a tough one because we all have different food listed in the "mushy" phase. I see that some foods that people are eating in 'mushy" is in my 'soft food" phase.

Put the meatloaf and chili in a blender1 :smile2:

Just kidding. Actually the meatloaf and chili can be used during the mushy phase. I know in the beginning you always hear about people throwing up because they eat something that wasn't on the list, but I have found that when you chew up the food (not counting any meat) it goes down pretty good and I have been banded since 11/21.

There is always french fries - small amount only though

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
