I like chicken, black Beans and a little low sodium V8 juice in the blender with some mexican spices. I tastes like chicken tortilla Soup or black bean dip. It looks gross, but tastes good. I am still on pureed and graduating to softs as of today.

Since getting banded, I actually make a weekly pot of chili myself in a dutch oven. Thay way I can pack it full of veggies and only add fresh ingredients. I then portion it out into containers and freeze for later meals throughout the week. I have found it is cheaper and less of a hit to my calorie budget if I make it myself.

My favorite protien from home is any salmon dish. I like it grilled or baked with simple salt and pepper. If I'm looking for fast food it isn't always the healthiest option but I love, love, love chicken Express catfish.

Wendy's chili has 21 carbs in it- my doctor always says, stay under the five percent rule. Like on box products, I have to look at the fat and carb count to make sure it's not over 5 percent. I love Wendy's chili- so what I'm asking is it ok to eat? I'm a newbie. 3 weeks out

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
