Quinoa is DELICIOUS!!

I make quinoa primavera, Qnuinoa with peppers, sauce and my homemade turkey sausage, etc...

There are many other ways I've prepared it but can't recall at the moment

Im on full liquids Soup tried humos went well . Can we start tuna

It depends on your plan. If full liquids- hummus is usually not allowed yet. Tuna should be ok once you're on puree or soft foods. You need to blend it to a mushy consistency. Do you have a diet plan from your surgeon?

I love quinoa! I like the red and/or black kind, and I toast it a little before preparing it. I also cut the Water down so that it doesn't get mushy. It's a complete Protein with all nine amino acids present, so it's a pretty good dietary choice, despite the carbs.

It's great stuffed into the baby sweet peppers that you can get at the grocery, as well as mixed with vegetables and chicken for a nice salad.

They're allowed on my plan at that stage but need to be blended to a mushy consistency.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
