chips

Another one looking for a backrub ... sheesh. So then, you are telling us these are nutritionally relevant?

This reminds me of the lady who asked what she could order from Dairy Queen at 3 weeks post op. If you are looking to validate the same old behavior, sorry, I am going to tell you my opinion. If you cannot see that as a contribution, then you have some of your own baggage to deal with.

I'll pass on your backrub, thanks.

Being an jerk to people seeking advice is not contributing to anything but YOUR ego. Trust me, I get it. I too get frustrated with people and their logic sometimes. Like the person who went to Taco Bell a week after surgery and "nibbled" on a corn chip. I was like "seriously?" but I'm not going to run them through the coals over it. It's their stomach and their lives and ultimately their demons they have to answer to. Our annoyance at them has nothing to do with them nor does it serve anyone to make them feel like an idiot or as someone who struggles any less than we ALL do.

Dehydration is a great way to go. Check out THIS site.

I'm so glad you mentioned a dehydrator! I was wondering what veggie chips in a dehydrator turn out like? are they crunchy? or just...dry? I mean apart from spinach and kale and "light" things like that. What would happen to apples or carrots in a dehydrator?

Apples become delicious morsels of crunchy goodness in the dehydrator. I had a friend who would dehydrate all kinds of stuff including fish. Their house would smell horrible for a day but when it was done it was delicious and healthy.

I did Kale and it got crunchy and kinda dry but it didn't bother me. The flavor was great. The crunch DOES go away though as it sits out in the air. The same thing with chickpeas! I love putting chickpeas in the oven with seasonings and like, a drop of olive oil (to keep the seasonings on) for 45 mins in the oven. But once again as time goes on they stop having their crunch...

I don't know how to fix it. I haven't tried using the dehydrator afterwards or put them in the oven. I kinda just deal with it.

I did all of this pre-sleeve btw. I did apples and bananas because they were about to go bad and well, they took FOREVER and some were crunchy and some were rubbery. I'm not a master at it, lol. I think I probably put some too close. I only used my dehydrator about 4 times and one time was with to make Jerky - which was the BEST!!!

I am not annoyed with them at all. Quite the opposite, actually. I remember the demons of wanting to eat the way I wanted to. I still battle those demons as I mention in a recent post regarding a cruise I just went on. It is difficult to make these changes which we developed over a lifetime. But you have to know some folks are looking to validate behaviors down deep they know they need to change.

If you were at an alcoholic's anonymous meeting and someone who was struggling walked in with light beer asking if it was OK to drink it, how would you respond? Sometimes it's tough love.

i luuuurrrve Jade's recipes! Pre-sleeve, I used to make her fried rice. Simplest and best recipe I've ever tried. Post sleeve, we made her egg drop Soup with Tomato. SO good!

Actually they make roasted chickpeas in India for a snack but they're made in industrial ovens so I had no idea how to do it. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I'm thinking I need to get one too!

I was at sprouts (grocery store) this week and they sell dehydrated veggies I must admit they look good!

we used to buy the veggie chips that looked like dehydrated veggies or something like that at central market. And then we found out they were fried. Ugh.

I don't think it's you. Everything I'm reading says put in airtight container, but really, eat them fast

I will have to experiment with smaller portions at a time so we can eat them fast in a house with two sleevers and one picky 13-year old.
