@ellie123 I litterally just stuck my measuring cup in the soup and pulled out a quarter cup

Definitely going to do this because at this point I’m just saying my scale is broke.

So I made my egg this morning Mcdonalds egg McMuffin style instead of boiled and it’s going down easier. It’s moist, water did the job without having to use butter or oil ? added a little cheese. 10.3 grams protien only 2.4 grams carbs. And 142 calories. When I start eating more I’ll add ham so a healthy egg McMuffin without the muffin ? also quick note—in an emergency an egg McMuffin is awesome without the McMuffin. But only emergency ?

For those who are in the purée stage I found these dressing at Kroger in Texas, and are pretty good to mixed with tuna, chicken! I don’t cook so I need already things done! In case someone wants to try!

has anyone tested positive to the H pillory bacteria after the biopsy they run on the stomach they take out? I did and dr send me with the same amount of pills I took when I had my whole stomach! So finding time between when to eat; wait for liquids before and after food; the normal pills for reflux the give you; vitamins; and know all that antibiotics 5 pills plus another 2 to protect your stomach...I don’t have enough time in a day the space them out ... :(

Just saw my favorite snack and kind of cried. I miss you popcorn ?????

Love this idea! We're trying to figure out where we could put it that wouldn't drive the cats insane. Ha!

Tape both ends to the wall so it doesn’t dangle

They'll still go after it. The youngest sees anything new and has to tackle it. He's silly. I thought about putting it behind a door that is rarely closed.

Maybe put them in a scrap book or something

How many carbs per serving are too much? Saw something with 14g of carbs but 8g protein and only 1g sugar?? Not sure if that’s acceptable or not. Idk I might put it off for now.

Nvm found a recipe to replace it that has double the protien and only 4g carbs

Way to go. So happy for you. This is what it’s all about. Getting healthy.

So as promised my enchilada recipe well my brothers with my tweaks in parentheses

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breast (get free range, free of antibiotics and hormones)
2 cans Mexican stewed tomato’s (go organic!!)
1 can diced green chili’s (I actually used 1 fire roasted pepper instead of a can)
2 green onions (organic!!!)
1.5 lbs cheddar cheese (go for grass fed, raised hormone and antibiotic free)
Enchilada sauce (honestly we just use the store stuff but I’ll be swapping to homemade whole 30 red enchilada sauce)
And tortillas—


Bake the chicken at 350 for 23 minutes and let cool. Once cool shred and mix in the tomatoes juice and all, the chili’s, the onions, and 1/2 cheddar cheese and 1/3 the enchilada sauce put some enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 sauce pan and warm the tortillas. Dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce then put some of the chicken mix inside and wrap up. Place in the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 covered then unconvered add the remaining cheese on top for an additional 15 minutes. Serve with Mexican rice (cauliflower rice!!) and sour cream :) enjoy.
