Pureed Borrito filling?



Recommended Posts

I have been going nuts trying to find more stuff to puree, today while on my way home from the store I was driving past my favorite Mexican restaurant. As I was driving by I couldnt help but think, hmmm Their signature burrito called the "Homewrecker" is so good, and of course you pick all your favorite toppings, mmm so good. My thought process went like this, Chicken= Protien, Black beens= Protein, fresh made paco digio cant be bad for me, Fresh chopped Jalapenos arent bad for me, guacamole although not that great for me, isnt all that bad.... I turned the car around went back and got the HUMONGOUS "homewrecker" with chicken, paco digio, black Beans, guacamole, Jalapenos, and had it wrapped up to go, brought it home, pulled the filling out of the tortilla, and pureed it, ohhh so tasty compared to all the other pureed crap I have been choking down for the last couple weeks. I did have to ad a little extra salsa to thin it out so the magic bullet would puree it.

Now I sit here wondering, how bad was this for me? What should I do with all the leftover, save it and eat it over a few days? Or is it so bad for me that I should toss it away so as to not be tempted to eat the rest? There is so much of this left over it has to be at least another 4 to 5 meals, if not more. I will say this is fullest I have felt since the surgery, although I only ate 3 ounces, I feel mush more full that I have been with other purees.

Try freezing it in meal-size portions and then just microwave it when you desperately want a fix

Try CalorieKing.com they have most all restaraunts listed on there and you can find out how much calories and protien. I don't think a Homewrecker is so bad as long as you don't have the tortilla and the queso.

Honestly, I never worried about fat content in my losing stage. Not that I was shoveling in loads of fat, but I didn't count fat grams.

The chicken is fab, the Beans are full of Fiber and Protein, the avocado (in my opinion) is the best option because of the high potassium and high healthy fats. Personally, I think it's a great option. I mushed all kinds of foods, and think if it satisfied you, and your taste then eat the measured portions for the next couple of days. Freeze the rest for to be eaten in a month's time. I not a fan of eating leftovers for more than 2 consecutive days. Foods lose their luster far too fast in my opinion if I eat them too often so I have to take a break or I'll get burned out on a fave.

I will say that was the tastiest meal I have had since going on the liquid diet on the 2/23/11, and after thinking about it, it really isn't that bad of a choice. All the ingredients were healthy, and I only ate 2 to 3 ounces of it, it was very satisfying.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
