Big Baby - I made the edamame wontons. (I jazzed up a recipe I found on the internet) I was going to steam them tonight like dumplings but ran out of time - so I just brought some of the filling which is delicious on its own.

I took a bag of frozen shelled edamame, cooked them in a pan with just a tsp of canola oil and 1 of sesame oil & 2-3 cloves garlic until they were softened slightly - I then put them in the blender with about 1/3 c. hoisin sauce and soy sauce, 1 tbls minced ginger (from a jar or fresh), about 3 green onions minced, 2 tsp siracha (a oriental hot sauce - but you could use a dash of cayenne as well) and a couple packets splenda and salt to taste. - It takes a while to really blend it down - I might try putting it in the food processor first. It tastes really good though. I then placed a spoonful in a wonton wrapper, moistened 2 edges, pressed to seal - add voila - ready to fry, steam or bake - I have baked some of my homemade wontons/dumplings before - important to spray or brush the tops with either pam or I can't believe it's not butter spray otherwise they come out looking a little pale and dry. (400 deg. for 12-14") can sprinkle with a little salt &/or sesame seeds

that sound wonderful - thanks for sharing!!!

Luluc - I hope you end up enjoying them if you start feeling better of course!

One note though - I think the night I made them first I must have had something salty to eat prior to making them - because in remaking them today I could tell I wasn't going to need as much hoisin and soy sauce (although being a hoisin fan - I will probably keep the hoisin up and bring the soy sauce down).

For those of you wanting to make them I would start with a 1/4 c of hoisin and just add soy sauce to taste - could always use some broth or stock to help thin down the puree.

Good Luck!

      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.
