All this talk about food when I'm 2 weeks into my pre- op diet is sending me crazy LOL. Those ribs sound seriously good ! Anyway got my "clotting problem " sorted today with the hospital and I am all systems go for op on Thursday ! One quick question - did you all make Soup to freeze for when you came home - if so - what sort ?

That's fantastic news and we wish you all the best for tomorrow. Yea I made vege Soup and chicken and vege, puréed and fairly thin. I put it in small containers and froze. Miso soup in packages minus the 'bits' is also yummy. I bought organic baby food for the puréed stage and it was disgusting. Still in the pantry 6 months later.

I apologise in advance to those of you in pre- op, liquid or puree phase, but I have to share with you what I made last night. I like to have Beans in my diet especially for Breakfast as they are a good source of Protein, low GI and yummy. I often have a slice of toast with small serve of tinned baked beans. I don't really like the tinned variety so I made my own using a recipe for Boston Baked Beans off www.taste.com.au and they are YUM. Used tinned Cannelloni beans, bacon, tomatoes etc. i followed the recipe this time, but probably wouldn't use as much golden Syrup or brown sugar next time. Let me know if you try them. I made. One batch which will do me and my household for a while week.

Hey dean, did you use white of black chia seeds? I used mixed ones. Also, I didn't have any cocoa powder, so I used milo and honey instead of golden Syrup. I also used lite soy milk. I'll let you know how mine goes.

Feeling vegetable deprived so decided to make myself a fresh Tomato, zuccini and basil penne. No Protein except for the little bit of cheese I might pop on top which isn't great but I am craving veggies :) Was just going to boil them up but decided to try something different. Will let you know how it goes - I don't expect to eat too much cause it's Pasta but I hope it might be a nice change from my protein heavy diet of the past little while!

They didn't soak up all the liquid, it was still really really runny, despite the seeds being plump and soft. I re-read the recipe and realized that I put in 2teaspoons of seeds instead of 2 tablespoons. So I have now added more seeds and will have it for breakfast. I did taste it though and the flavours were really good. I've bought the golden Syrup and cocoa so will try that version tomorrow. Really looking forward to it. Thanks heaps for the recipe dean.

Nice. It tastes a little bit like mini tapioca or sago but the tiny bit on the inside of the seed stays nutty.

I'm going to try a coffee one with some espresso, almond milk and stevia ;)

Ooo, that sounds really nice. I didn't think I had any cinnamon so was thinking about adding coffee and making it mocha flavour, but then when I realized that I had no cocoa and would be using milo, decided against the idea. I have rice milk also, that's a bit sweeter so I may try that with the cinnamon and cocoa tomorrow and maybe I won't need to add too much golden Syrup.

I think it would be really nice just with milk and some fresh fruit, like passion fruit and mashed banana. And it's higher in Protein than porridge. I can see this becoming a staple. .

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
