Would the Quest chips work with your salsa ?

I ate a lot of salsa just after surgery. I didn't get any guidance on seeds, so I just threw my regular salsa in the blender and puréed it just to be safe.

Quest chips are like Quest Protein bars... but chips. :) They are high Protein and no/low carb, and the longer you go without eating any actual tortilla chips the more they start to taste "normal". Personally, I couldn't live without them.

I make my own salsa. I cut the tomatoes and jalapeños and pull the seeds from them. I roast them for great flavor first! Yummy!!!

I also make my own salsa and it is very easy! I eat a lot of it. Just had some for dinner with cheese and cucumbers.

Can of whole tomatos

1/2 jalapeno (with seeds scraped out)

2 cloves garlic

1/2 onion

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic salt

1 bunch cilantro (or I use dried cilantro and just dump some in - 1 to 2 tbsp. maybe)

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp. (or so) of lime juice

Dump it all in a blender and liquefy. I don't like chunky salsa.

I taste and add what I think it needs - usually a tad more salt and/or more lime juice and/or cilantro. The recipe actually also calls for 1 tsp of sugar but I haven't been using that since surgery. honestly it probably wouldn't be a problem since it is such a small amount; I just chose not to.

Regular tortilla chips = big and fat, where you came from !!!! I can't stress that enough. Qwest chips ONLY, low fat cheese on occasion ONLY, NO FAT CHEESE more regularly, or they'll never quit calling you fat and the wonderful tool of By Pass will be wasted on you. THE TRUTH . I eat salsa ( any and all types daily ) with no problems.

      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!
