I think I got this from skinnytaste.com, but not sure. It was pretty good! Enjoy!

Asian Glazed Drumsticks

8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed

olive oil spray

1 c. Water

1Tbsp Sriracha hot sause (more or less, to taste) > can get from Walmart, in Asian food section (bottle with rooster on it)

1/2 c. balsamic vinegar

1/2 c. soy sauce

4 tsp agave nectar (or use sugar) > got this from WM too

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp ginger, grated

2 Tbsp chives or scallions, chopped

1 tsp sesame seeds

In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3 to 4 mins. with a little spray oil. (I used my wok with Pam.) Add water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, agave, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil. reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 mins. Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8 to 10 mins, until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occassionally. Keep an eye on the glaze, you don't want it to burn when it starts becoming thick. Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.

I made 6 drumsticks and through myfitnesspal.com, it calculated out to be 168 cals per piece/15.5 g protein/6.1 g fat/9.2 carbs/5.4 g sugar/827.4 mg sodium.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
