Tofu I'm on a kick



Recommended Posts

It's amazing they can make this stuff into anything. This is spicy chicken (really tofu) with vegies. This may be old to some but it's all new to me. I always though no way would I eat that. It's really good.

Now I can order chinese when everyone in the office does.

I am totally with you! I recently ate dinner with my family at a korean restaurant and ate a wonderful spicy korean Soup made with very soft tofu. I actually had this while still on my soft foods diet. Tofu is pretty good if you give it a chance.

Tofu is an awesome food I wish my kids still liked it :( now when I make it I get some looks...

Anyway when I cook it I always "dry fry" after you can put a sauce if you like. But I also like to just eat it as a snack just like that :)

I love tofu! I can never get the same texture that the Chinese food places get with out flash frying though :( I pan fry it usually as said above to get some crunch and some of the Water out and then add sauce. There are great recipes on Pinterest for tofu if anyone is interested.

That's kinda what dry frying is I cut up my tofu and slow fry it with no oil or butter on a non stick griddle or you can use a cast Iron pan and fry it on a lower heat to get the moisture out and crisp it up.

      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.
