I honestly needed to hear that , like finally someone who gets it! it’s been super rough this is my 4th time getting admitted. but i’ve gotten fluids 3 other times and have just gone home. I’m 2 months out and knowing it took you 3 has got me like oh my lord but i’m sticking it out. can’t wait to be out this feeling

I’m glad to hear your swallow test came back great and you are starting to cope with your new normal. It’s not easy and I know that. I couldn’t find too many people to relate to who took long to recover so I can understand you feeling in the dark and fed up.

Hopefully now you are able to keep something down, no matter what it is. Everyone’s body reacts differently. Try to find something you can tolerate and stick with it. For me it was watermelon for 3 months... why? Idk. It was the only thing that I was able to keep down and kept me hydrated.

Good luck and keep remembering that eventually you will see a light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️

Yum!! Those look so YUmmy!! You could try Jicama wraps maybe?

Thank you! They are also super low in cals . I’m excited lol I saw online that they sell them at Whole Foods. Fingers crossed they are in stock 🤞

I’d def eat those without a wrap at all around them. The insides look so good!!

You know what, I could probably just turn these into a cabbage salad. Thanks for the idea!

Scroll down to Tortillas!

Thanks! I’m definitely going to try those lo lol psylli wraps! 20 cals each is amazing. The lowest cal tortilla I found was 30 cals each but my grocery store was out of stock.

you have a lot of amazing recipes! Can’t wait to try more

Made shrimp tacos. Will be eating this all week minus the tortillas. This was the first time since surgery that I ate one whole tortilla and omg I’m ridiculously full!

Thinking of using romaine lettuce instead but I’m not sure if it’s going to taste weird because of the cabbage.... which will make it all crunchy 🤔

besides lettuce, does anyone have a good tortilla replacement?

Swordfish again but this time I made it with a white wine and caper sauce. I remembered the after pic

Anyone tried cooking strawberries in the oven for three hours on 210. I saw it on Pinterest. Guess cooking them brings out the natural sugars and they can taste like candy. I’ve got a sweet tooth so this will be better for me than the alternative! Just put them in. We shall see!! I love Pinterest!!❤️🍓❤️🍓

Never tried it but I’d love to know how it comes out!

dinner last night was swordfish with a roasted Tomato and basil sauce and salad

Omg all these dishes look soooo good!! I want them all!

Girl, I feel you! I went through hell and back after I had surgery. My recovery was awful. I couldn't drink Water, I would throw up after I tried a Protein Shake, and i wasn't keeping anything else down. I ended up getting super dehydrated and I had to get IV fluids. I instantly felt regret and kept asking myself why the hell I did it in the first place.

It took me 3 months to recover and feel somewhat normal. Do I regret my decision now? No, not at all. I would go through it all over again. Just hang in there and listen to your body and know it will go away soon and you will be back to normal.

Does anyone else crave comfort food when stressed? I do and I’m finding ways to tweak things, so far it’s working. My weight is still very stable after 2 weeks of sheltering in place.

This is a hideous picture of food but it was very good, in a crummy prepackaged way! It’s 3 oz of butterball turkey breast, their gravy packet and a 1/3 cup of stovetop stuffing. Second time in my life having this stuffing, it’s not bad!
Total of 252 calories . It’s more carby than my usual choices which is probably why I’m enjoying it so much. I’m freezing the leftover stuffing since I’m the only one that eats it!

I can very much relate to this. I usually crave dishes i grew up with, or chicken wings lol Idk why but chicken wings are comfort food for me.

Im not a fan of stuffing but I would gobble up that turkey easy! Looks delicious!

Homemade turkey meatballs

Before and after pics of seco a la nortena with navy Beans aka cilantro stew. Last pic is my bfs plate. You can see what the food is much better from his plate since mines is a sloppy mess like usual.

Melt chocolate of your choice and dip! For toppings I used walnuts, shredded coconut and mini chocolate chips Good luck!

This happened for lunch yesterday. No survivors. LOL. This isn't really a recipe, just an assembly. But, you "can" make your own Near Zero Cal 1000 Island dressing, or use your favorite reduced cal version. I love the WF Thousand Island add an extra splash of unfiltered apple cider vinegar, a jooge of yellow mustard and a hit of granulated garlic to it for more tartness! But you don't have to...

Here's the nutritional information/ingredients for the wrap. It doesn't include the hummus or side veggies.

You are a wrap pro!

And more strawberries 🍓

Sorry guys... this is what I do when I can’t sleep and on quarantine. Made them for coworkers.

Homemade chocolate covered strawberry with melted fat free whip cream. This has been my go to when I’m craving something extra sweet. One usually does the job 🍓

Sorry, I was eager to take a bite then remembered the pic lol

And more tostadas

Turkey sausage tostada... finished it all

Grilled chicken chorellana with two homemade hot sauces

chicken Kabsa for dinner. This is bfs plate, mines is just salad and the chicken but it looked like a sloppy mess 🤷🏻‍♀️

@MarvelGirl25 Here's your information on the Brussels Sprouts chips with Truffle Zest & Parmesan!

Instructions: Wash 3 large brussels sprouts (about 75-85g). Cut end off stem end. Peel off leaves. Trim a little more end off and peel more leaves. Keep doing that until you've done the entire sprout. Cut remaining remnant in half to be about the same thickness as the rounds. Save the cut off rounds and air fry with the leaves! Repeat with remaining sprouts.

Spray sprouts with EVOO spray (I use a mister.). Sprinkle with granulated garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well.

Preaheat air fryer for 3 minutes on 400º. Place leaves, remnant sprouts, and stem cross section cuts into the fryer. Cook on 400º for 2 minutes. Open fryer and turn sprouts gently, using a spatula or spoon. Cook again at the same temp for 1 minute. Stir. Repeat in 1 minute increments until sprouts are as done as you prefer.

Remove brussels sprouts from basket and sprinkle with Tartufi Truffle Zest with cheese seasoning or use your favorite truffle salt. Shave a bit of parmesan on top. Eat IMMEDIATELY. There are dynamite when hot from the air fryer. As they cool and sit, the stemier part gets softer and chewy. But I still love them that way. I only use about a gram or 2 of shave parm.

Let me know how you like 'em! I love them more than tator chips!

Thank youuuu! I’m definitely going to be trying these out! I need more healthy Snacks and these should do the trick

In honor of St. Patrick's Day! I made a Reuben Lettuce Wrap (non-traditional hehe) with Turkey Pastrami and Near Zero Cal Russian Dressing. So. Dang. Delish. And I have a snack for later. There were afters. I didn't eat all the tomatoes - those were for props. LOL. Only 2 ended up staying on the plate. And that bowl in the background held my "chips". I made brussels sprouts chips in the air fryer today with Truffle Zest cheese spice. So good. (Oh and I found Kim Chi Salsa that is soooooo good! Spicy but not hot spicy! Even better than Kim Chi!)

I'd be a panic if I couldn't have my veggies and salads. I heart them so much!

So here are the nutritionals on the wrap--of course I suck at spelling but I did fix it. LOL:

Here's the nutrition on the Near Zero Russian Dressing I made.

Yum! Tell me more about those Brussel sprout chips!
