I just wanted to share a recipe that my husband and I did this week. He kept telling me that he had tried "Lettuce Wraps" a long time ago and liked them and we should try to make some. So we went to Sam's Club and picked up groceries and got the things we needed to make them. They turned out so good! I really like them and it's only 150 calories per wrap. If one is not filling enough for you (It is for me right now) then you can eat a second one and still get filled up on 300 calories! I added avocado the first time I made them and it was really good. That's not part of the recipe so you'd have to add the calories for that.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Here is a link to the recipe:

I went back to MyFitnessPal and did some research. Here is what I found when I searched for this problem in the Help database:

"Currently the "full-fledged" recipe sharing isn't a live feature on MFP..

what you CAN do is create the recipe in your account, log a serving of the recipe to your food diary, make sure your food diary is visible to friends and you're friends with the family you want to access it...

they come view YOUR diary from THEIR account and click "quick tools > copy to today" on the website.

On the iOS and Android apps you click the wrench / spanner in the header with the meal name > copy to today."

So, my user name there is the same as here "PhotoLover8". I made sure that my profile is visible to "everyone" so no one has problems looking at it. I hope this helps! Sorry, I didn't know this was an issue before I posted it.

And just in case that doesn't work either or it's too much trouble, here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

- 1 lb of Lean Ground Beef or Ground Turkey

- 1 Large Green Pepper

- 1 Large Red Pepper

- Laughing Cow Light Swiss cheese Wedges

- Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- Romaine Lettuce Hearts

Instructions:

- Cook your pound of lean beef or turkey and season to taste.

- Cut both large peppers into 10ths and saute in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

- Take a romaine lettuce leaf and cut off about an inch of the harder part of the leaf (it doesn't fold well and your food will fall out.)

- Open your laughing cow light swiss cheese wedge and spread it in the center of the romaine leaf.

- Add 2 oz of your cooked meat

- Add 1 strip of each of the peppers

- Eat up!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
