Pork rinds?



Recommended Posts

Yummy that sounds good.. Still on full liquid diet here, start mushies Monday,,, Maybe I can run some through the food processor. Any suggestions on something liquid I can add to it so as to make it mushie? Besides Tequilla.

Plain Greek Yogurt--tastes like sour cream!

As an alternative, I tried some soy chips thinking I wouldn't like them, but what the heck, I'm trying new things. Surprisingly, I do like them! The brand is Genisoy. I got the Deep Sea Salted flavor. 17 of them have 8 g Protein, 1.5 g fat, 15 carb (minus 2g fiber). They would be good dipped in something or with something on top, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Good to know!! I've been wanting some hummus pretty badly lately, but I'm not sure how to have it except on pita chips, which I can't have yet and probably shouldn't have anyway. I'll remember to look for those in a couple of weeks!

Lately; once I try something, I just don't want any more of it. I am throwing out so much food. I think the food processor thing is making me ill. Just to look at that stuff makes my tummy turn. I started soft foods this week, but once I eat something my tummy always acts like it doesn't like it, and I am only eating one to two ounces. It makes it so I can't stand to eat any of it later or make more of it. I forgot to eat this morning,, (thats a first), so I picked up some chicken salad to try. But just a little scared of it. Don't want to put my stomach in cramps again. My doctor wrote me a prescription for Nexium, but seems my insurance company wants to talk with him first before they will pay their share. It is $220.00, I am going to give them a couple days and then just go pay for it myself,, Hopefully the medical deductions will still be good at the end of the year.

Loser, I experienced the same thing early out. I found that I used so much of that 'press and seal' stuff to keep stuff good in the fridge because I just didn't want to eat something again. Once I found something I liked, and could tolerate again, I ended up burning myself out on it.

I made my own chicken salad by boiling a boneless/skinless chicken breast in some broth, added a little egg, and light miracle whip. I did this, and froze at least half of it to have later in the week. Those little pre-made packets in the supermarket didn't appeal to me.

Prilosec and Protonix work just as well as Nexium so if your insurance wants to be a P.I.T.A, see if you can get your surgeon to consider either of those options for you. Both are available in generic. I honestly love my Prilosec even though my insurance will Nexium, I opted to go with Prilosec so if I try to wean off of it in the future, and realize I can't, I can grab some OTC until I can get a new refill from my surgeon without having issues.

Coopersmama,

If you can't find Pork rinds at the regular store in your area, try a hispanic grocery store. They are called Chicharrones in hispanic stores. However, you can go to customer service at most groceries and they will have them on the next truck.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
