I Want a Cheese Enchilada.



Recommended Posts

Yes, I agree, you will be able to eat them again (hopefully)!

One thing, I'm using my honeymoon period to do--we are all different, so many of you guys don't have my "unhealthy" connection to food. LOL.

I make "healthy" quick deconstructed enchiladas. I always have cooked cubed or sliced chicken, turkey taco meat, etc in the freezer and so I just make long thin slices of zucchini (like on FB) and use 3 slices as a "tortilla". Fill it with chicken, onion, some cilantro--sprinkle with Mexi spices, and top with pre-made enchilada sauce and a bit of cheese.

You can also make cheese version using 2% Kraft Deli Deluxe (1/2 slice inside with onion will do it for ya), then top the "zucchini tortilla" with enchilada sauce and cheese. :) Bam! Broil until cheese is melty and enjoy! No guilt. No extra pounds.

But even those are a tiny bit away until you heal more and are cleared for foods!

Hang in there.

Here's a bariatric-friendly recipe you could try at home!

One of the things I've been really proactive about doing while I'm still on liquids is trying to find recipes NOW that mimic foods I used to have but are healthier swaps. These are things that my whole family could enjoy in their portion size but at the same time allow me to eat without fear of weight gain. There's lots of great books and websites out there! Spend an hour or two just browsing google and Amazon and you're sure to find some awesome stuff.

That is smart, I need to start that.. You were sleeved just a week before me ;) I wish this site had a recipe tab. Please share good ones that you find if you have the time! Thanks

Hellooo everyone. I am new here, sleeved Tuesday October 23rd. Will I ever be able to have just 1 single cheese enchilada ever again? This breakup hurts. In between sips of Water and Protein (BLAAH) drink, I long for a cheese enchilada, and do feel a bit hungry.
SERIOUSLY, you are like my spirit animal right now. My fave food ever. And looking forward to when I can have ONE and be satisfied not even finishing it! And not eat the chips & salsa and Spanish rice!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
