Not sure if this one has been posted before or not, but it sounds delish! Thought I would share as someone had sent this to me on Facebook.< /p>
This is low fat and Low Carb
Ingredients

1 cup salsa, homemade or purchased
1 cup petite diced canned tomatoes (choose low-sodium)
2 tbsp. taco seasoning
1 cup onions, diced fine
1/2 cup celery diced fine
1/2 cup carrots, shredded (you can leave these out if you are concerned about the carbs)
3 tbsp. sour cream, reduced fat (can use regular sour cream if you like)
Directions
Place the chicken in a slow cooker. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat then layer the vegetables and salsa on top. Pour a half cup Water over the mixture, set on low and cook for 6-8 hours.

*EDIT* - Had a friend make this last night, and they suggested using a little less Water then what they call for in the recipe.

I watched one episode of the biggest loser and cried my head off....This is not for me..I am not ready to be in that much pain for others yet........
I have seen these shows on You Tube and watched the entire thing.....Isn't surgery a miracle if used properly....
I think it is...

It is hard to share this struggle and decision with people and harder still to face opposition. For me, also battling this weight issue for most of my adult life, I've come to realize that the odds are stacked against me without this tool. The success rate of diets and will power alone result in less than 20% of people ever losing and keeping off the weight whereas 5 year follow ups on morbidly obese bariatric patients reveal as high as 93% have lost weight and kept it off. (National Inst of Health).
I am still pre-op and of course have doubts here and there, but I go back to take an honest look at my journey, where I want to be and the best way to get there. I know my weight is holding me back from living my life fully and realizing my potential. I try to keep that in mind.
Hang in there, you are so close. Keep in mind, you are 4 days into the liquid diet, so this may be having an affect on your moods and emotions.
Best of luck!!
