Recommended Posts

Some one posted a meat ball receipe and i tried it. It was great.

1 lbs hamburger meat

spices garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, basil

mozz cheese

split in half, and quarters and 1/8th s

take each piece and roll, flaten, put one piece of cheese in middle cover and roll

I browned in pan and then finished in oven at 300 for 20 minutes.

They were great.

My husband said you didn't put any bread in it?

NO

It can't be good,

Then he tried them ...... Hey they are pretty good.

I put some ragu sauce on them (2Tbl spoons) and some parm cheese. I can only eat 2 but they really satisfy and craving.

Prior to my surgery, I never liked meatballs. But I found some at costco, made by Aidell's that I really enjoy (fyi)... they are chicken teriyaki meatballs. I might have to try this recipe tho! Thanks for posting it.

I'm more of a meat sauce girl myself. And when cooking for a family meat sauce seems to go farther than meatballs.

I love meatballs!! They are GREAT for me post sleeve as I pre-make them and then they are quick on the go.

I haven't though to add to cheese to them, I might do that as it would up the Protein. When I make meatballs I add greek yogurt to them! You cannot taste it, but it adds Protein AND it keeps them moist and keeps them from falling apart :) Oh, and I make this with ground turkey. I mix it with the yogurt and the spices, then let it sit for a few hours. It really absorbs the flavor of the spices :) YUMMY!

I have a taste for turkey meatballs myself and I never had them before, but I saw something on eggface that sounded delicious.

Hmmmm......meatballs! I had some from Ikea the other day with my hubby. He was very hungry and got the chicken/rib dinner plate and then told me to get the TWENTY meatball plate. BWAHAHAHAHA. I told him I was probably going to eat FOUR of the twenty. He said "no problem", I'll eat the rest.

And he did! Amazing. I can't believe how much he can eat and not gain weight (he's on a low carb, high Protein diet too, but not sleeved, obviously!). I used to be able to eat the 15 piece plate with fries and a dessert, no problem. I barely got through 4 pieces and 2 bites of veggies.

I have a recipe for meatballs with cheese in the center somewhere. They were called Volcano meatballs and my husband daughter and I all love them. Pre surgery we loved to make meatball subs with them.

      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!!
