Hi everyone, is there an option to test how acceptable a recipe is for WLS patients? if yes, is there a way to add a recipe to the web site? Thanks and all the best :-)

I can start off if you like :-) I made something my family and I really enjoyed today: Middle Eastern style Blue Crabs: rinse crabs, snip off eyes. For 1 kg crabs, in a large pot add 2 quartered red onions and spices: 4 bay leaves, zest of two lemons (peel using a vegetable peeler make sure you only use the yellow part as the white will make it bitter), 2-3 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp all spice, 1/2 tsp cardamom powder, 1/2 tsp ginger powder, 1/2 tsp loomy powder (petrified limes, if not available, can omit). Add room temp Water till 1/3 of the pot, bring to a boil and let boil around 15 minutes. Add crabs facing down, let boil then simmer covered till crab shells turn orange- takes around 20 minutes to cook completely- turn off the heat, remove crabs and consume immediately. Reserve stock for Soup ????

      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.
