Tried something new



Recommended Posts

I have seen people post stuff about this, so I tried it. Cauliflower rice! It was SO good and such a great rice-less side for the stir-fry I made tonight. I didn't feel deprived AT ALL!

Yes. Talk. (Shining the bright light in your face till you spill the rice!) :)

I saw your post somewhere about dry frying tofu. I want to try it, it sounded so yummy!! Will you repost again how you do it? I'm lazy and don't wanna go to my computer to search it out lol

Sure let me find it and cut and paste :) I'm lazy too!

To dry fry, 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. I fry it on a lower heat to get the moisture out and crisp it up.

Tofu isn't really high in carbs, I buy mine at trader joes...

Also after you dry fry it you can do different things with it...like marinade in anything (it is tasteless so will soak up any flavor) and stir fry with veggies

I like it marinaded sometimes but I will also eat it just straight from the fridge cold after dry frying it

I hope your serious so I don't look like an ass :P

But if you are in a regular store (Safeway or such)

It's by the produce section in a refrigerated case

I buy mine from trader Joes also in a refrigerated

Case by the produce Alway buy extra firm tofu when dry frying, it's just a better texture.

And when you take it out of the package pat it dry with a paper towel.

      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.
