Thank you!!

My friend had gastric bypass and she said I didn't have bypass surgery to be on a diet forever but learn to eat more healthier,learn portion control ect.. She said she still will eat anything she wants as long as she can but portion size it. Like normal food you serve your families. She said she don't want to deprive herself of bad foods as well because everyone deserves a treat here and there. Just wondering your thoughts??

Oh no same surgeon and yes I had it about three weeks ago. So same meal plan but she's a lot further out than I am just getting people's thoughts . Oh no problem being harsh I appreciate any feedback but does not Intimidate me whatsoever not being mean but hey we all had issues being overweight and unhealthy all our lives and there were plenty of people that might of been harsh and criticizing us on how we were throwing Pizza and fast food in our face did we listen nope unfortunately some people it takes time and she is still getting there but doing great in the process hey could be worse she could still be were she was prior to surgery only eating junk.

I also had another recipe I wanted to try take a jalenpeno pepper slice it in half take some ground turkey scallion garlic low fat cream cheese salt pepper mix it stuff each side of the pepper and bake it 350 for like 35/45 minutes yummy I made this prior to surgery as well but sometimes I used sausage cream cheese garlic scallion and a little maple syrup but I would not suggest that way anymore lol

Awesome!!

I will say I did weight watchers and that did not help me ..not one bit!! So I can see where the 8% comes in and easier said than done with portion control and eating healthier. I just started so I have no clue really but I don't want you guys thinking she's sitting There eating pizza every night lol not the case. At her point right now she will make her family chicken pot pies/ chicken and rice/ steak and veges/eggplant parm ect... She puts her little side for her. But she does occasionally will have fast food if she out and about or working late. Until this site I didn't think what she was doing was wrong but that's why I wanted your thoughts. She's still losing and she looks great so idk

Ohhh ok thank you very much

Awesome glad you enjoyed!!!

Awesome now zoodles are zucchini strings right did you bi those or were they hard

Awesome don't forget to season the ground turkey salt pepper maybe some garlic powder paprika whatever you Iike!!! Tell me how it comes out!!!

I tried to find that don't know where it is

Nice!

Oh I'm sorry well it's a recipe I thought of prior to surgery when my family and I were trying to eat more healthier so I just put it on 350 maybe like 45 min just until the pepper is soft! I know more recipes needed guys!!

Do you make your own meatballs or do you eat them from like subway? I rather try it out first and I'm not too great at making them lol

I just wrote about this in another topic as well no one replied with recipes but I have one HELL of you just take a handful of ground turkey pan fry it with some onion garlic mushrooms put it in a green/yellow/red pepper throw it in the oven with Swiss cheese boom your done!! Now you have yourself a philly pepper closest thing to a philly sandwich in my eyes lol

I'm not sure about how that works but I do know two of my friends about the same time as you did the lap band and unfortunately did not work they lost 70 gained it all back and my doctor won't even perform lap band anymore because he says it clearly does not work for 90 percent of patients... so they also are looking into it. Once I find some information out I will definitely let you know!!

Wow amazing!! Keep it up!!

May I ask how much you use?

Oh wow okay didn't realize that with the reduced fat nice to know thank you everyone!!

I thought this would be a fun creative way to get ideas for some recipes! There must be one meal that you can't wait to make!! I'm dying to make some philly stuffed peppers!!! You can use red yellow green peppers with ground turkey sautéed onions and mushrooms and garlic mixed in topped with low fat Swiss cheese!!

I had some grape leaves and kibbee with some cucumber yogurt yumm!!!

In a few days I start soft food do you think raw smoked salmon would be fine? I mean I would assume not because it does say on my sheet to half one piece of toast lol but just trying to get opinions. My surgery was 10/7/2015

I went to the market had some salmon cream cheese and avocado yummy!!! It was so good!! Only thing not sure how much to eat or not I'm not full but I feel I might over eat so stopping and I'm only 18 days out.

Ash that sounds awesome!! I crave sushi so outing some raw salmon a acids and a dash of low fat cream cheese will make me think I'm having a Philadelphia roll lmao but I am definitely going to try all those you just stated!!! You started out early right?

Wow sounds yummy
