Awesome Recipes from the nutritionist



Recommended Posts

I have several recipes that are healthy and taste great!

The first one is your basic chili. I use ground turkey meat, but you can use regular. Ground turkey is better for you and doesn't taste that much different.

1 medium vidalla or sweet onion chopped

2 cans of red kidney Beans - drained

1 lb of cooked ground turkey

1 T of chili powder - make it mild or hot - your choice

1 can of diced tomatoes - you can add pepper or chilis if you like

1 cup of Water

mix all together and top with some cheese. Great protein!

============================================

Tex Mex Meatloaf

(again I use ground turkey, but you can make it beef)

1 1/2 lbs of ground turkey

3/4 cup uncooked oatmeal

1 egg

2 T onion flakes or you can use fresh chopped onions

2 t chili powder (make it mild or hot)

1/4 cup ketchup

Mix all ingredients together except for the ketchup.

Put in pan.

Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Top with ketchup and bake another 10 minutes.

Cut into small slices so it last longer and your body thinks it is eating more when you really aren't.

check out the food & nutrition forum:

Food and Nutrition - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

there is a sticky for all stages of "eating"....

I'm finding mushies to be a tough one because we all have different food listed in the "mushy" phase. I see that some foods that people are eating in 'mushy" is in my 'soft food" phase.

Put the meatloaf and chili in a blender1 :smile2:

Just kidding. Actually the meatloaf and chili can be used during the mushy phase. I know in the beginning you always hear about people throwing up because they eat something that wasn't on the list, but I have found that when you chew up the food (not counting any meat) it goes down pretty good and I have been banded since 11/21.

There is always french fries - small amount only though

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
