Brussels sprouts on parade

While a status conversation on the joys or evils of Brussels sprouts is going on, here's a whole bunch of recipes. Many aren't particularly weight-loss friendly, but they can be altered. Some are just right.

I miss Brussels Sprouts so much - it has turned out to be the one veggie that still causes me issues - i can eat cabbage no problem - but give me 1 Brussels sprout and i get the foams - even 6 months out! I am going to try again at month 9. My nut said that that can sometimes happen - where you have an intolerance but it may go away - I hope so!

I LOVE Brussel sprouts and eat them at least once per week. My kids HATE the way they smell when I cook em :D I usually either use fresh ones and cut them in halves or really small frozen ones. Sprinkle a little olive oil, Kosher salt and pepper and roast them for 30-45 minutes. Delish!!

Roasting veggies has become a way of life! I never ate them that was until this year, but it's AMAZING! Brussels sprouts, green Beans and broccoli are all regularly featured in the roasting rotation at our house. The kids LOVE veggies this way (not so much the Brussels sprouts). They even refer to the green Beans as "green bean french fries". We prepare them pretty much exactly as to describe.

So glad I don't get the foamies! I do get very full feeling and feel like I need to burp up what I have eaten but nothing ever comes back. Thank God. This feeling usely last about 20 to 30 minutes if I overdo it

Cauliflower, one of my favorites, also likes to be roasted. Carrots and white turnips, too. If you roast a mixed up bunch of vegetables, you'll have a festive-looking dish on the table.

Cauliflower is good. If you like curry, I will sprinkle some curry powder on my cauliflower before roasting and it's awesome!

Haven't tried turnips or carrots. Willing to try any roasted vegetable though!

I'm 5 days post-op and my head thinks that Brussels sprouts sound SO GOOD!! (although my stomach is completely uninterested). Can't wait to (hopefully) be able to eat them again in a few months!!

      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.
