I used canned black Beans (dried works but you'll have to soak them forever) any type will do that are unseasoned, I prefer organic, but can't remember the brand (maybe 365 from whole foods?)

Toss in your favorite spices, mine are onion,garlic ,tumeric ancho chili, black pepper, basil, cayenne, parsley, etc

Add a serving of oil continue to stir to coat all beans (I use either macadamias, hazelnut or Olive / whatever I have on hand)

Add boiling Water until covered, stir slightly. Then let it marinate.

Fin.

Oooo, this reminds me. Thank you for the recommendations of cocoa nibs and hemp seed in your yogurt parfaits! I've started eating fancy yogurts of my own. Today was Light and Fit caramel apple yogurt with unsweetened coconut, hemp seeds, chia and a sprinkle of sliced almonds. Thanks for the tips!

My heart hurts. How dare you make fun of my glorious scrambled eggs. I worked for minutes on those and they tasted just as boring as every other scrambled egg meal I've made. ;)

I was just jealous of their glory and had to resort to insults to conceal it....

Yeah that's what I figured after I had some time to think it over.

      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.
