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.

Love your signature!!! I'm shouting girl!!! Wendy's chili pureed is good for a quick pureed meal and filling too.

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

      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!!
