Black bean spaghetti is pretty darn good



Recommended Posts

I'm in the soft food stage trying to make sure I get in my Protein, so I tried this black bean spaghetti I found on Amazon. Note: It's black SOY Beans, not regular black beans. But I'm really enjoying it. And 2oz is 25g of protein and only 19g of carbs.

I will have to try that. Sounds good. Thanks.

Speaking of black Beans. My husband stopped at Taco Bell last night and asked if I wanted anything, so I got a side of their black beans (50 cal) and I actually really liked them lol.

I've used a similar bean-based fettuccine made on mung Beans (50g gives 20g protein), and it's totally acceptable with a Tomato based sauce. Makes a nice change when I'm in the mood for a pasta-style meal.

At Taco Bell, you can have their Power Protein bowls. Either steak or chicken. You have to have them remove the cheese and rice, but you can have everything else. I LOVE them. If you have it with chicken, it's 240 calories. If you have it with steak, it's 260 calories. You can have everything else (I can't have the lettuce, tho, because it doesn't sit right in my stomach. But if you're ok with it, you can have it). You don't have to take anything else out, and it's SOOOOO good!!!!!! Oh, and you can add onions for 0 calories and jalapenos for an extra 5 calories. Anything else adds too many calories, but you can add that stuff, if you want it, and not have to worry. The stuff that comes with it already (besides the cheese and rice that has to be removed) is steak or chicken, avocado ranch sauce, tomatoes, reduced fat sour cream, guacamole, black beans, and lettuce.

      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.
