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!

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
