Sounds great. So light and fresh...not heavy like bread. Thanks for the thought...K

OK...I'm not usually dense, but how do you prepare this? K

Peas, onions and quinoa all have carbs. I would be interested to make this, measuring the ingredients so it could be input to My Fitness Pal to see the actual nutritional values. It sounds really tasty if there are not too many carbs for the protein. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am surprised your nutritionist would suggest imitation crab. It does have quite a few carbs as opposed to real crab. The imitation is much cheaper, though. And we do need some carbs for energy. I suppose if you just keep track not to get too many carbs, this would be OK.

What is 6WWP+*?

Love my stick blender. It is a fairly good one (Sharper Image), but it makes great smoothies and soups. Also I have a tiny food processor that I wouldn't trade. It's great for making small servings without messing up the big one. K

@janerose - Being able to sit down in a theater/auditorium seat without either buttock touching the armrests...K

So good to hear a good report post-op. Sounds exactly like my course after surgery. Happy trails on your new life journey...K

It is a bad thing over the long-term. You can't stay in that mode forever. Your body needs carbs to survive. You lose a lot of weight at the beginning (that's the point of high protein, low carb diets like Atkins). But eventually, your body will start to catabolize or "eat itself". At some point, you need to start adding some carbs back to your diet. You will still continue to lose, but you need carbs for energy. Be smart about using your sleeve and don't sacrifice your overall health for the sake of weight loss...K

You are absolutely right. These are a staple in my house now. They make the perfect size quesadilla with chicken and cheese and green chiles. They may be best find yet. K

I tried this recipe today. The garlic was way too much for me, and my daughter said she could taste the cauliflower too much. I love garlic, but I am very sensitive to it, so next time maybe just a little bit of garlic powder or salt. Don't know what to do about the overpowering cauliflower. Any suggestions about what might be used to substitute? I love the idea of making my own nuggets. This will make a very easy lunch. I got 25 nuggets out of the recipe and MFP came out to 5 nuggets around 200 cal, 10 carbs and 20 proteins. With a little tweaking, I think this will be a keeper. Thanks for the recipe...K

Count your blessings and don't worry that you are not sick. I had no problems and no changes in taste after my sleeve. You are just one of the blessed ones. K

Eggplant would probably work if sliced thin enough, but the wonton wrappers are not that high in carbs and will most certainly satisfy your taste for lasagna. These cups are actually better than real lasagna because they have all the same ingredients in the layers but are not so bulky and heavy. Try it with the wrappers just once...K

Glucerna is for diabetics because it keeps blood sugar down. Don't know if it would be good for low blood sugar. Ask you doctor. K

It is an eating disorder. Someone else on the forum posted on it before. I believe she said it was call "cupping". You all might google it to see if that is right. However, it is an eating disorder. No judgment here, just a fact...K
