Almost two weeks post-op and sooooo sick of protein shakes, broth, etc. I decided to cook tacos for my family and took some of the ground beef, some black beans with salsa and gave them a whir in my Magic Bullet. Can I just say: DELISH! It was such a nice change of pace. Another exciting thing is that I am totally getting used to listening to my body and stopping eating when I get the full signal. All in all I think I ate about 1/3 cup of my fiesta dinner. I am loving my band and my decision to do it!!!

Good for you! Now I'm thinking maybe I should make some taco meat instead of the tuna I had planned!

Sounds yummy thanks for the idea! I did something similar with re-fried Beans I read on here. I also mixed tuna with hummus 4 dinner 2nite and it was delish!

After the pre-op liquid and post-op liquid diets......anything sounded good to me! I probably would have loved shoe leather is it was seasoned!

LOL! A week ago shoe leather sounded like heaven to me too! I am looking forward to my new lifestyle.

I think I better go invest in a nice little BULLET.

Still on clear liquids...get to go on creamy liquids on Thursday. Wooo Hooo!!!

I have another week of liquids. I could have killed to have a pork chop that I was cooking for my family yesterday. Crockpots are very handy but note to self- Do not use when I am home to smell it!!!! I can't wait to eat something more normal.

I was banded June 24th! Im totally going to try this. I've been craving tacos! On Friday I get to move on to pureed foods. Thanks for the great idea!

I like the tuna with hummus idea, I think I'll try that with chicken for lunch. I make taco meat a lot, I'm making meatballs now for dinner, can't wait!

I posted this idea on another post a couple days ago...it got me through my liquid/mushie stage.....I pureed anything I cooked that sounded good.
