Okay could someone tell me how to make crab legs? I know it should be simple but I've never cooked any fish.

I would suggest you google it. It is very easy to do but the timing is important! :)

Get a pot of Water, add Old Bay Seasoning and a lemon sliced in half, squeeze the juice in the pot, then add the whole lemon. Once you have a rolling boil, add your frozen crab legs. boil for 3 minutes, remove and eat. That is for snow crab (the thin legs, smooth red and white shell). For King crab, (spiny bigger legs), 5 minutes. I usually cook my clusters in rounds, only 1-2 clusters at a time, if you dump a lot in the pot at once, the water will get too cold, it will take too long, and then you will have water logged crab. Good Luck!

I have the store steam them. Just ask at the fresh fish counter if they will. Its free. Although they might be a tad over steamed, causing the meat to srick to the shell, it still tastes good.

I just had crab legs for dinner and my tummy is sooooooo happy! :)

      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.
