Ok folks made this for dinner tonight and the non bypass side of the family inhaled them!!!! Very very easy for me to eat tonight as well. I have included ballpark nutritional information I added up after the fact. Start to finish took about 5-10 minutes!!! Quick Crab Cakes (Makes 4 servings) 1 can of crab meat in Water 4oz 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs 1/2 cup of finely minced onion 2 Tablespoons of Green Onion Minced 1 egg 1/2 tsp of Seasoning Salt 1/2 tsp of Garlic powder 1 tsp of black pepper(little less if you don't want them spicy) 2 Tablespoons of Butter (held) Open can of crab meat and drain water, food process onion together to fine mince and drain water. In a medium bowl combine all ingredients (EXCEPT BUTTER). Form into 4 patties. Melt butter in frying pan and place patties in pan over medium to medium high heat. Fry on each side about 3-5 minutes until desired color. (I did mine on the softer side for obvious reasons, and made the rest for the family a little crispier) Approximate nutrition information per serving: (I only counted have of the butter in nutrition information as there was about half of butter left in pan.) Calories 155 Cal from fat 50 Fat 6g Sat Fat 2g Cholesterol 85mg Sodium 725mg Carbs 17g Protein 9.5 g Talk about a nice break from Protein shakes, and pureed stuff! This is my recipe I developed tonight on the fly. I was quite impressed with myself if I do say so. Scott

Make no mistake I got a binder too and know what the deal is on everything, but I want some chew stuff. Saw dr yesterday and she was extatic with my progress. Down 30!!! Post op day 11

Go get Nectar chocolate truffle and and a product called PB2. One scoop of nectar and two tablespoons of pb2 powder in a shaker bottle. Tastes like a liquid Reese peanut butter cup a little thicker and no "protein shake after taste" whatsoevr

I am a week ahead of ya all. Big dude I share many of your sentiments. I lost quite a bit (before surgery, very strict diet) and started participating in triathlons. Then had a set back with an injury and an automotive accident and rapidly put the weight back on. However, I truly understand your thoughts. Just a little funny something to make ya laugh for today.... My Triathlon Strategy Don't Drown Don't Crash Don't Quit

Woke up this morning in a state of panic that I had lost a TON of weight and I looked like a dang bobblehead doll like Al Roker and Nate Newton. At least I woke up laughing

Just had surgery (one week ago today) by Dr. Malladi and so far so good!!!!

I am 11/10 and hit week anniversary tomorrow. Fully expect to be at 25 lbs lost in two weeks. I think I'd about kill for something crunchy right now! HAHA

I actually ate a chocolate dipped ice cream bar day 5 post op and my stomach wasn't quite ready for it. Just had some discomfort not really pain went to bed early and all was well after an hour or so

I have hada a really easy time and feel the same way. I am 6 days post op. I haven't had much pain, nausea, or anything and added milk based cheese Soup with no chunks tonight and for first night I feel like I had "reel" food. Outside Protein shakes (thank the Lord!) Protein shakes were getting very old!!!! Just trying to figure out the next thing to add into the mix

Is it the digestion of the corn itself or chemical make up. Reason I ask is I found some Campbells corn Soup that is pure liquid. I was thinking about adding it to my diet next week.

I am 6 days post and my class ring is almost free to the point I might be able to flick it off if tried real hard!

I was contemplating how that might work in a Protein shake! That might really add another layer of flavor into a bland Protein shake

Where did you get it and how are you using it?

Ready2b I would kill for a scrambled egg and retried Beans. As a matter of fact I am almost 100% certain I have never craved retried beans until today. Haha I really have not been nauseas, in pain, or feel like things have been restrictive other than picking up heavier objects. Had to have my mom and wife unload to five gallon buckets today. I am taking next week off of work and plan on working on a car I am restoring. No heavy lifting just light wrenching My follow up is Wednesday and I am going to try and push things just a little after the doc gives me the thumbs up

She wanted liquids 1 week before and one after surgery. Then on to applesauce, purée, no chunk soups, etc. I just want a real piece of food. Ugh!!!!
