Salmon (Freshly poached/baked or pouched or canned salmon) hand mixed with various spices, a whole egg and binder of your choice (I use ground almonds, whole chia seed ,flax meal and kale) form into round Patty and pan fry med temp in 1/2 inch or less of oil until golden brown on both sides. Voilà.

Have you ever tried an airfryer? I was surprised how much I like and use it, It's super versatile and easy clean up. IMO, the results are even better than frying. I turned my mom and neighbor on to them, and they love it as well.

I sound like an infomercial, lol!

No I still have not bought one but I don't think this is one of those things that would work in an air fryer, its loose ingredients . can you make falafel or meat balls in an air fryer? If so maybe it would work...

Disclaimer: I pan fry foods, olive oil, grape seed oil, etc. I never intended to give that up, ever...

I actually have made falafel in the airfryer. As long as it will hold together somewhat it should be ok.

Although I do appreciate the fat free aspect of the airfryer, I also appreciate to no mess aspect vs. frying and the "set it and forget it" aspect.

My mom and my neighbor do a lot of wings in their airfryer, they both claim (and I agree) they are superior to pan fried. In fact my neighbor whom used to fry a majority of his meals (chicken, pork chops, etc) told me he has barely turned his stove on in months, and his last gas bill was $8. He is definitely not motivated by the health benefits either.

I will have to look into it. I was interested a while back but the small chamber size turned me away , I have teens and I would have to make batches and batches, so I took a hard pass. But I'm not in willing if the right one came around.

thanks!!!

Yeah, the capacity is a huge downside. For just 1 it's fine, for two, it can be a challenge sometimes, for more than 2 it doesn't work at all. My mom and neighbor have two each, lol, my neighbor talks of getting a third one.

I saw an infomercial for this one while I was in a waiting room. I have to admit I was sucked in and totally want it. Which is ridiculous considering I'm single, no kids and have a 2 oz stomach capacity :lol:

Strawberries yes! Sliced and slightly smashed and tossed and keep in a container in the fridge with the balsamic and swerve!

I finally figured out how, I wanted to from the start, I never did it correctly. This was always supposed to be my name but I left it.

      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.
