Mourning the loss of my post-op taste buds

Yes I leave it whole....just get them good and oily with EVOO' date=' I think 375 for 15-20 minutes, depending on how crispy you want them. I like them crispy....they come out tasting like green French fries.[/quote']

When I don't want to heat up the oven, I cook asparagus or green Beans in a really hot cast Iron pan with a little grapeseed oil (any high hot flash point oil will do). Comes out all crispy like the oven and doesn't heat up the house.

Me too. I also like zucchini done this way too . I cut it into thick planks and super hot pan so it's browns outside and softens inside.

If its not hot and I have more time, I do all the veggies in the oven like butter.

      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.
