Yes! The egg foldover! Love those. But I actually made my original psylli wrap for this one. :) I'd made them last week and so have them hangin' around lurking and acting shady. :) Adding the psyllium husks (whole, Now brand) to the egg whites and letting them chillax then frying in a pan til they dry out makes them very tortilla-like. You can even nuke them in 15 second bursts on a paper towel until crisp. Turn them once or twice to dry them on both sides. And you have the equivalent of a psyllium cracker that works for everything from Mexican to Mediterranean. :)

Here's the recipe for the original: https://fluffychixcook.com/basic-psylli-wraps-low-carb-gluten-free/

Here's the link to the recipe index. I have a bunch of versions of this that make it fluffier using different low carb Keto ingredients like coconut flour, oat Fiber, pork rind crumbs (sssshhh don't judge).

?? Now is the "manufacturer", right? this is not a typo?

Hahaha, no judgement here. Pork rinds/chicharron are my secret weapon/go to snack to add a ton of Protein and fat (and basically no carbs) when I'm in a pinch for calories (and they are also good for "breading" stuff)

Here's the one I use. It's readily available in my grocery (HEB), or online on Amazon or vitacost. It's the whole psyllium husks. If I need powder (which I rarely use), then I grind them in the coffee grinder. I have a crap ton of bread analogues on Fluffy Chix that use a combination of:

Pork rinds crumbs

oat fiber

coconut flour

psyllium husks

whey Protein

They make a magical "bake mix" that you can do sooo much with--everything from "white bread" to biscuits, fluffy pancakes, tortillas, corn bread...so so much. So filling.

I love pork skins for breading with parmesan cheese! So good. Also love them as croutons!

That looks amazing! Anything that looks that good shouldn't be served in styrofoam . . . just sayin'!

Last time I had duck at a restaurant it cost $38. This cost $12. I'll take the styrofoam!

I wish I remembered to take a picture of it but I was so excited and hungry I forgot. I made homemade pizza with Trader joe ready to bake pizza dough. It turned out excellent. I highly recommend their dough. I will never eat cauliflower crust pizza, kudos to those that can handle that.

I measured out 2 oz raw dough and rolled it thin. I’ll post the ingredients I used which shows macros. I piled a lot on it since this was the first slice of pizza I had in over a year. I ate half of it, went shopping and finished the other half a few hours later. This is a much higher calorie dinner than I normally have, it would be super easy to adjust lower.

One thing I would change would be the brand of chicken sausage. I bought the brand True Story at costco. It is higher calories and doesn’t taste as good as the lower calorie brand, (Al Fresco) that I prefer.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
