The mock mashed potatoes is as follows (how I did it)

Cut up a whole califlower and boil it soft in chicken broth. Drain broth in cup and set aside. Add couple tablespoons of low fat sour cream and 1/2 c shreaded cheese and mash. If you need more liquid as it is too dry you can add the chicken broth instead of milk and it will be lower carb and fat. It was yummy!

I am going to try to mock fried rice with califlower soon!

Mmmmmmmmmmm Now that sounds Yummy. I'm going to make that Thankyou

Jill---I like the poor man’s steak idea. I’ll be trying that soon. <O:p</O:p

Mpov---I’m glad your first fill went well and you're feeling restriction.

I'm not sure if I'm having head hunger or real hunger between meals. Anyone else having trouble distinguising between the two? I still have to keep measuring so I don't overeat because I feel like I can eat more than I should. :noidea:<O:p</O:p

Gerbera---thanks for the info from your dietician. I have a fear of dialating my pouch or the band slipping. I guess if we are following our doctors orders and being careful we’re gonna be fine. <O:p</O:p

Take care everybody! You know what I just realized. Valentine’s Day is coming up and I usually get chocolate!!!! I’m curious to see how my hubby handles that situation. LOL.<O:p</O:p

jillrn: Please share the Mock Fried Rice recipe. I so love rice, last I tried to eat it, I got that aweful golf ball feeling So mock rice just might be the answer I'll be away for a few days, I wonder if I could bother you to send it as a Private Message??

I'm posting this on all the December threads to try to reach everyone.

I think those of us still posting have decided it's easier to just stick with the original December bandsters thread:

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=25506

There doesn't seem to be much traffic on the monthly threads and we may be losing people with each new thread.

However, like I said before, if others want to keep the monthly threads going, I'll follow wherever you go.
