Flour Tortillas and Almond Milk



Recommended Posts

Okay guys....two questions!!

1. How does everyone do with Flour Tortillas????

2. Does anyone know about Almond Milk....I know it sounds weird, but my friend who has just recieved her "personal trainer" certification swears by it. She mixes it in her morning protien shake everyday and loves it. She brought me over some today and made me a shake with my shake stuff, the almond chocolate milk, and frozen cherries.....OMG....it was great it tasted like choclate covered cherries...!! I just wanted to know if anyone else has tried this type of milk and your thoughts!!

I can't do tortillas when I'm feeling any restriction. I get stuck almost every time. If it's toasted to mostly crunchy I can eat it but then I try to avoid them because of the carbs.

I have one of those little burrito makers that I use every now and then. I put in meat or eggs, and cheese wraped in a tortilla. The machine toasts it all up and melts the insides.

hmmmm - I'm making myself hungry

i eat the corn tortillas without any problems. the flour ones are harder to get broke down and they seem sticky! they are also double the calories, one flour is 120 cal while you get two corn for 120.

The almond milk sounds good - but not enough Protein for me

I can eat both flour & corn tortillas - I have gotten stuck on corn that was only warmed over gas flame - but when fried no problem - flour I can do if i take small bites and eat slowly - had a burrito last nite for dinner.

Flour tortillas make me spit up.. but I think it may be that I don't chew them well enough. However, even with a conscious effort, I have issues.. so I just marked them off my list. Never a huge fan of them to begin with.

Almond milk sounds interesting.. the unsweetened kind, do you just drink it and it's sweet or what?

I just took a wheat tortilla and put a little pizza sauce on it and broiled it in the oven for 7 minutes. It made it all crunchy and easy to eat, not to mention delicious.

I have not tried almond milk but I absolutely adore soy milk.

I eat the almond milk with my ceral everyday, it tastes good with life ceral, its 80 calories for a cup, but I only use a 1/2 cup.

I got mine at Trader Joes, they have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and Regular.

Regular was 1.69 all others were about 2.00

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
