No, not the trash next to the cottage cheese?!

Her comment gave me an idea. Maybe next time I'll try them with cottage cheese.< /div>

I can picture LipstickLady dry heaving as we speak....

Roasting in the oven - olive oil and salt and pepper. For a real treat mix in some good carrots or sweet potato, the roasting makes them so sweet.

Btw, I have had good results roasting frozen sprouts! Trader Joe's has small bags in the freezer section.

I never even had a Brussel sprout before a few years ago and now love them!.

I've pan roasted them with mashed garlic cloves and the sausage of your liking. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese once plated and enjoy!!

I cut them in half---layer onto cookie sheet----sprinkle with freshly chopped garlic, tiny bits of real bacon, salt/pepper flakes.

Then I placed 2Tblspns of Nutritional Yeast over the top and place into a 400 degree oven for 20-30 min. turning them over 1/2 way through.

These are fabulous, Daaaling! Hot or cold. The Nutritional Yeast adds the cheesy flavor while only adding 35-40 cal.. It also adds 9g of Protein.

Tossed with balsamic, salt and pepper and wrapped in foil on the grill...

But I will proceed with caution because I have gotten myself into trouble eating too many and having major gas pains! Like worse than sleeve surgery gas pains from the little green monsters!

Anyway, like I was sayin', Brussels sprouts is the fruit of the garden. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. Dey's uh, Brussels sprout-kabobs, Brussels sprout creole, Brussels sprout gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's . There’s pineapple Brussels sprouts, lemon Brussels sprouts, coconut brussel sprouts, pepper Brussels sprouts, Brussels sprout Soup, Brussels sprout stew, Brussels sprout salad, Brussels sprouts and potatoes, Brussels sprout burger, Brussels sprout sandwich. That, that’s about it.”

I had them in a restaurant sauteed with a small amount of blue cheese and bacon. Probably not WLS friendly, but it was to die for good. Hopefully I can think of a good substitution/cheat for this in the future! :)

I remembered this post and used it last night. I have avoided these since I was 5 (my mom boiled them and served them without seasoning). So the girlfrind told me we were having them with dinner, so we used Rosemary, olive oil and sea salt, cut in half and baked. We covered some with blue cheese, some with parmesan and some plain. I really liked the blue cheese. Thanks for bringing this topic up. The cooking tips were timely.

Glad I could help! Boiled? With no seasoning? Yuck. I am glad you gave them another try.

Nice Forrest Gump reference. You must be "Bubba Blue's" brother. :)

How To Cook Brussels Sprouts

Step 1:

Throw them in the trash.

(-j.k. I love them. I get the microwavable packets that you just heat up, open and eat. But I've heard they are delicious when stir fried in bacon grease. However, that's probably a no-no after sleeve.)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
