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.

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.

What a great idea. Can't wait to have that!!! ;D Thanks for your reply!

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

Yes I had my sleeve one year ago down75 lbs but I can eat anything just small portions always eat my meat first I don’t feel deprived at all just wish I could’ve. Done it sooner

I have some reflux as well if I eat anything to greasy.

What do you take for the reflux? Congratulations on the -75 lbs!

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!
