I like to prepare it like you would for chili or spaghetti, then mix in half a bag of frozen peas and frozen diced carrots, and a couple tablespoons of your favorite Chinese or Japanese sauce. I've tried the garlic sauce and hoisin sauces and both were really good. I plan to experiment with something different next time I make it, maybe a little spicier.

Teriyaki Turkey Burgers

4 turkey burgers ( you could make your own, but I'm lazy).

1 tsp. sesame oil

4 pineapple slices

1 tbs. pineapple juice from the slices .

1 Tbs no msg, low sodium teriyaki sauce/glaze

I put the oil in my electric fryer and distributed it with a pastry brush. Fried the burgers 7 minutes on each side.

Mix the juice and teriyaki sauce. For the second side of the burger, I brushed the burger with the teriyaki/pineapple sauce mixture.

Brushed the pineapple slices with the mixture and broiled for 2 minutes.

Add pineapples to the burgers.

Makes 4, but I only ate 1/2 ( I am pre-op)

My finicky family loved them.

What type of oats? I have been trying to find something for my cod fish cakes besides bread crumbs.

I brown it with chopped up red, green and yellow bell peppers, a few fresh garlic cloves and chopped onions. I salt and pepper it too. Then I add about a half cup of brown rice and Water and let it cook until the rice is done. yum... You can add as much rice as you want, but i cut it down so I would get more protien in the meal and not carbs.

I used old-fashioned slow cooking oatmeal. I did grind it in my food processor since I didn't want them to be in big flakes in my baby meatballs.

Couple easy ones. I grill pretty much everything so most of my methods are based around that...

Famous Dave's Steak and Burger seasoning. Grill it. cheese it. Eat it!

Weber Gourmet Burger seasoning. Grill, cheese, eat.

Salt, pepper, italian seasoning, crushed red pepper. Top as you like. Provolone works very very well for this.

Taco seasoning, jalepenos, mexican cheese. Mix, patty out, and grill. Bed of refried Beans and more cheese!

Soy sauce, as much hot stuff as you can stand, garlic, onion, smidge of brown sugar (think chinese type). Great alone or a little brown rice.

Hot mustard, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.... Like a hot bratwurst type of taste.

Salt, pepper, onions, small bit of bread crumbs, jalapenos, few ozs beer. Mix til you can patty as you may have to play with the crumbs and beer. Not sure how I came up with that one but it came out pretty good lol!

I have more haha!

LOL!

Love the grill. I have been known to grill with snow flying so lots of time there. I don't care for fried food too much anyway with the exception of the occasional fried chicken or fried potatoes (very very rare).

Love the grilling taste, don't have to heat up the house, less mess, and it's better for you so it's really a win win....

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
