I put too much thought into it, lol. That's easy. ;)

Check this one out!!! Mongolian Beef from a slow cooker!!!

http://therecipecritic.com/2015/08/slow-cooker-mongolian-beef

Holy BEEF!!! that sounds SO good!!! Super easy too! I'm all about easy prep! All of these recipes look amazing and I can't wait to try them!! You should start a Facebook page full of recipes or even your very own lil healthy cook book!!

These aren't my recipes. I am posting recipes from a diabetic slow cooker cook book. High Protein and low carbs just like what post-op sleevers like us need. I just love the idea of spending a few minutes to setup a meal and coming home to a hot meal ready to go. Walking into my apartment with delicious smells coming from everywhere and I just serve it up.

I found a page that shows you how to spend one weekend a month prepping 40 slow-cooker meals so you always have food ready and each meal is super cheap. You save money and time, and you are planning ahead so you don't get stuck without something healthy to eat. 40 meals is enough for a full month including lunches and dinners. When you need one, you just take out the gallon frozen bag, empty it into the slow cooker and turn it on. Then PRESTO! You have a hot and ready meal when you get home.

Oh! I thought these were ones you've tried. Can you tell me the name of the book? Maybe I can find it on Amazon?

If you get time, go back to #23 of this thread, I posted the names of some easy crockpot recipes that we love at our house, and I included the websites they came from. Also try googling "easy crockpot recipes " or "diabetic crockpot recipes ." The 1st recipe, with the tortellini ? Yeah, there's a reason I put that one in first.Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !

I have my own best recipe on earth for pot roast from a slow cooker and it's the best you'll ever taste. I just don't think it's good for post-op, high Protein, low fat and low carbs meals like we need so I haven't posted it.

No liquid the tomatoes release enough on their own

I love, love, love this recipie. When I make it, I put lots of chicken stock in it so it's more like a chicken Soup instead of chili. I also add frozen corn and garnish with cilantro. Sometimes I do a dollop of fat free sour cream, but only a small one. I could eat this almost every day! :)

Check out this website - http://www.diabeticconnect.com/diabetic-recipes/slow-cooker

There is bound to be something for everyone here. As with most crock pot recipes, you should be able to adapt most to fewer servings if you're only cooking for 2, like I am. I have a small crock pot that is the perfect size for my husband and me, but I also have a 5 quart crock pot for the bigger meals like pot roast, etc.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
