It's used in middle eastern recipes for baking. I make what us Arabs call hilbeh and it's not healthy at all. Tastes great though with all that simple Syrup soaked in the little cookie cakes

Huh. I did a little reading and there were all kinds of benefits listed with it. I wonder if there are different forms that are healthier than others or if it's all in how it is used

I took fenugreek when I was nursing my babies cause it stimulated milk production. What do you want to take it for?

It is also used for lowering cholesterol levels and leveling blood sugar inflammation and aids in weight loss it says. The maple Syrup smell sounds great to me. I spend a lot on prada candy perfume lol. I guess it's my thing to smell like sweets Lol. I also love VS candy baby!

I use the fenugeek seeds in Indian recipes as part of the masala. I haven't tried using the leaves.

      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.
