I know I know....it wasn't the healthiest...



Recommended Posts

....but I had a taste for it and I made it. Yes....Chili Dip. I don't think it was THAT bad for me, but I know it wasn't the healthiest. I had low fat chili without Beans, fat free cream cheese and fat free shredded cheese...all melted together in the oven. MMMMMMMMM..... I had 4 small wheat crackers and I only ate about a two spoonfuls of it. Is that bad you guys? I feel so guilty...but I am 4 weeks out of surgery and I am SO sick of tuna, fish, and Soup. I couldn't take it anymore! LOL! I'm just now breaking my 3 week weight loss stall...I'm down 42 pounds since pre op....so I can definitely feel my body changing and wanting a little more to eat (although I can't really eat...only a few bites and I have that full feeling). Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can eat...that's good and not feel so guilty. One thing...I'm not craving anything sweet...so I guess there is hope. LOL:thumbup:

What is wrong with it? I made my own turkey chili and honestly, once I uploaded the recipe to sparkpeople, it worked out to be 190 calories, 15 carbs (mostly from the beans), 7g fat, and 17g Protein for a small bowl (around 4-6 oz) and that was WITH a sprinkling of low fat shredded cheddar and a dollop of light sour cream! Aint nothing wrong with those numbers I don't think.

The chilli dip sounds fine, actually. You used all low-fat ingredients and Beans give you a little Protein. If you just cut out the wheat crackers and perhaps just eat the dip with a little spoon, that would be a fine meal. :thumbup:

Feel no guilt, it sounds like you are totally on the right track and have your head in the right place for making some healthy substitutions. Lots of Protein there and those are the good carbs, not the sugar carbs. So good for you at four weeks out!!!

Meh, I'm eating Whataburger chicken strips for lunch every day and losing 3 lbs a week, pre-surgery of course. Not healthy but I'm getting the job done of dropping a little weight before seeing my nutritionist.

Doug,

They have Whataburger in Vegas?! I thought it was only a Texas thing. I made sure I had Whataburger before I started my pre-op diet!

What you ate is actually on the soft food mushy list. You didn't do anything wrong.

Go in the recipe section and look up the ricotta bake. A lot of people really like it.

When I was on mushies, I cooked ground turkey with taco seasoning and mixed it with sour cream and sprinkled with cheese.

Whataburger is also a Florida thing. LOL. Well, it was, at least. The ones I've seen have closed down, but I don't know if it's statewide or just Orlando.

Okay, I live in Texas and I'm telling you, I'm 5 months out and I'm still not tried a burger from anywhere. Just afraid to try it. But the recipe on here sounds good. Don't sound like you did too bad.

Sounds awesome to me! I may have to try it. I'm 4 weeks out and still on mushies for one more week! I'm also completely sick of all the same old stuff. Just tried the ricotta bake the other night, and that was a very nice change! Has anyone tried guacamole at this stage? or maybe I could just mash up an avocado or puree it with a little salt & pepper. I'm trying to be creative. I made chicken salad last night but I didn't care for it that much and it didn't really sit well either. the ground turkey mentioned above sounds really good too!

I think the whole "low fat" and "fat free" is just so wrong in your concoction!

I wish people would try regular cheeses again - I'd rather take 1 oz. of full fat cheese over 2 oz. of low fat cheese any time. The satisfaction you get from normal food is 10x what you get from all the no fat stuff, which needs a ton of chemicals, stabilizers and other artificial stuff that simply doesn't belong in cheese. It so much doesn't belong in cheese that they are often not even allowed to call it cheese anymore - how screwed up is that?

Instead fat free cream cheese and fat free shredded cheese use half the amount of the normal stuff. It is a little less in volume, but 10x the flavor, 10x the satisfaction and keeps you full a lot longer! Good God, the fat free shredded cheese doesn't even melt, LOL

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
