Its a Wrap!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I was browsing The World According to Eggface and I came across her "Master List" of wraps, using low carb whole wheat tortillas. Being an on-the-go person, I am always lugging little containers of healthy goodness everywhere with me, and I can appreciate the simplicity and convenience of a wrap. Even though I have sworn off carbs for now, I think I ill make an exception for the tortillas mentioned here - 80cals/12 g carbs/2 g Protein. (They are more like soft taco size Im assuming) I think that one of these puppies with some turkey, cheese and veggie inside would probably last 2 meals with me. Anyway heres the link:

She also uses these tortillas for homemade pizzas, which look so so tasty!

I love wraps, and during my losing stage I did skip the tortillas and used romaine lettuce hearts, or other hearty lettuce varieties instead of tortillas.

the other night I made Protein style burgers. Basically it was a mini slider (very lean ground beef) wrapped in lettuce. My husband loved it. I just ate the cheeseburger (I am still not cleared for raw veggies yet). If you live near an In-N-Out burger, this is on their secret menu. :D

Ohhh that sounds so delish. I do miss In n Out, to think I used to have Double-Double with fries - both Animal style :/ YIKES!

The slider sounds like such a good idea, esp with the hot Cali weather coming, those would be perfect for a BBQ. Grilled chicken strips w buffalo sauce would be good Protein style too. Yum.

I discovered using spring roll wrappers instead of tortillas for even lower carb count. All this talk of tasty wraps makes me think of making skinny cheeseburgeritos, tubes of grilled burger rather than flat patties, minced Tomato, cheese, slivered pickle, mayo & mustard, all wrapped up tight in a thick lettuce leaf. Two or three of those, each no bigger than a small cigar, sounds yu-um!!

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
