"Slider' foods that good for you- suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Hi all;

I am looking for slider foods that are actually good for us.

I love Hormel Chili with Beans- individual servings for 190 cal with 14 grms of Protein. Love 'em for lunch or munch. Nuke 'em and eat 'em.

What are your favorites?

OMG- My Mom came to visit me a few weeks ago and made this dish for me. It's great!

Slice an eggplant- very thin...

Lay out slices on a baking sheet sprayed w/ cooking spray...

Take a brush and apply VERY small amount of EVOO or Veggie Oil to the tops...

Bake until tender... (just about 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven)

While that's in the oven- Make a Marinara sauce...

(EVOO- Crushed Tomatoes- Garlic- Basil- salt & pepper)

In a square pan (or lasagna pan if you're making a lot)

Put small amt of sauce

Layer of Eggplant

Sauce

Eggplant etc...(should make 3 or 4 layers)

Sprinkle top with Parmigiana Cheese

Bake until browned (about 20 minutes)

It's "DIET"- because there is no Mozzarella or Ricotta or Breadcrumbs or Deep Frying!!! WooHooo!!!!!!!!!

There is a restaurant near me that makes a chicken "spread" that is the consistency of hummus. It is sooooo unbelievable. I also like Hormel firehouse chili with 2% mexican cheese sprinkled on top with a tablespoon of fat-free sour cream.....yummy! Great now I am hungry!

My band is probably a bit too tight -- I have trouble with solid foods most of the time.

I am losing weight pretty consistently so I don't want to loosen up my band. I'll get a bit of saline out when I hit goal.

Anyway that's why I'm asking about slider foods --i'm sick of all my choices- need some new ideas.

You gave me an idea-- put my chicken in my chopper and grind it up fine-- with some mayo-- that should work well. And hummus is a good idea.

I can eat crunchy stuff like nachos but nothing very soft like quesodillas or bread.< /p>

Thanks and success on your journey to all.

Sadie

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
