Came up with this before hitting the gym. Spinach tortilla with a piece of turkey bacon, oven roasted sliced turkey, fat free ranch reduced fat cheese and crushed red pepper for flavor. Low fat and not heavy on your stomach. I'm not chef boy r dee (did i spell that right??) lol, so my diet pretty much consists of 3 20g-25g Protein shakes a day. I try to keep it as simple as possible. I recently added snacking between 2 of my meals a day into my diet. Gave me more energy and made the scale drop a lot faster. I'm able to eat bread and tortillas but I'd rather leave the bread out and stick to spinach tortillas only instead of regular since they are only 15 calories for each wrap and don't get me as full and stuffed feeling.

Psst, aim higher than that. If you say "I'm no James Beard," you'll be taken far more seriously as the new Bariatric Pal chef.

Serious question because I'm curious: Do you cook much for yourself?

Can you actually finish that in one sitting??

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

No, i cut them in half. And each half is between 3-4 inches. If your asking if i can finish the whole wrap in one sitting, NO. But i can finish half in 15 minutes. Each half is only 3 bites. Unless you nibbling like you 2 weeks post op lol

I don't know if you're interested in doing more cooking. You might like it. It can be a creative activity. It's up to you of course, but I hope you don't mean you're living on egg whites, turkey bacon and oatmeal.

I am living on egg whites turkey bacon and oatmeal lol and Protein shakes of course. But I'm not a good cook. Trust me, i tried to chef it up a couple times but it always turned out to be wasted money and wasted food.

You should see the look on subway lady's face when I ask her to slice my 12 inch tuna sub in to 6 parts. I make six meals out of it and I have difficulty finishing each meal at one sitting.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
