Love 101cookbooks.com--my husband gave me Heidi's Supernatural Everyday Cooking (or a title something like that) cookbook for Christmas and I love it!

veg chili- i brown and break up a package of boca vegan burgers and set aside.

in a little Olive oil saute chopped onion and a couple cloves garlic on low heat till onion is translucent. i also add some chipoltle in Adobe sauce,it adds heat and smoky flavor. add a finely chopped carrot ,a chopped red and green pepper,chopped zucchini and this if you want more heat, jalapeno. now your chopped back in with the cooked veg and as a 28 oz can of crushed Tomato.< /p>

sounds wonderful Pottergirl--thanks for posting! I made some veg chili earlier this week and used your idea of the black soybeans. It was really good and the soybeans are an awesome Protein source. I missed the creamy bean texture a bit, so I added some kidney Beans too. Used Morningstar meal starter crumbles as well--plus tomatoes, onions, sweet peppers, Tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and chili powder. Very tasty and inspired by YOU! So thanks again.

chopped Boca .....it should read. add 3 to 5 T powder. 1 t ground cumin 1 t oregano 4T real maple Syrup really makes this chili. it doesn't it sweet...but amazing. maple syrup is 35 calories a T so once divide this up doesn't amount to much. now add a can if soybeans,black Beans and kidney beans. rinsed. simmer awhile. then divide and freeze.

Thanks for sharing your recipe.Alas I don't eat onions (allergy) so it really limits food choices. All the veggies burger and "crumbles" I have seen have onions. Can't even find vegetable broth without onions! Onward to Vegan world :)

Great thread--thanks PotterGirl!

Some things I will be trying for the puree stage:

* pureed ricotta or cottage cheese mixed with yogurt with some SF flavoring and maybe fresh lemon/lemon rind

* pureed black Beans or fat-free refried Beans with lime juice, enchilada sauce, and other seasonings. Potentially mixed with cottage cheese or ricotta cheese and topped with FF cheese or low-fat laughing cow cheese

* Pureed oatmeal or cream of wheat with Protein powder (prepared with soy milk and thinned with almond milk)

* Greek yogurt with PB2 powder and Protein Powder, thinned with some soy milk and/or almond milk

* Greek yogurt with canned pumpkin, Protein Powder, and some SF sweetener

* Ricotta bake from The World According to Eggface (delish, but not a puree)

* Cream of wheat cooked in chocolate Protein shake (watch cooking Protein powder, it clumps. You can however mix it into baked stuff like pancakes when your into solids)

* Small amount of mashed potatoes made with protein powder, greek yogurt, soy milk--topped with pureed beans or pureed Morningstar chili

* Pureed thinned lentil Soup with Morningstar Breakfast pattie added (and possibly protein powder)--topped with Greek yogurt (make sure you puree the patty too. and watch putting the protein powder in anything too hot...)

* Pureed vegan bean Soup that my mom made--thinned out with soy milk and protein powder added. Topped with Greek yogurt

* Morningstar faux "meat" balls pureed with spaghetti sauce

* Morningstar veggie burgers pureed with something--low-sugar BBQ Sauce?

Pureed:

sweet potato with yog or Peanut Butter

greek yog with banana and protein powder ( I like Chike Banana)

cream of wheat made with fake chicken broth

split pea soup with a dab on greek yog

Iced muscle milk with coffee (I used decaf)

The seitan Jerky is great but wait till solids (I think the one I get is Primal)

eggface protein ice cream recipes

cauliflower soup made with milk and cheese.

I missed veggies early on and would make pots of soup and puree till I could eat them chunky.

bean soup with veg bacon salt

.....I have done it all vegetarian(lacto ovo) for the last two years with success.

Lots of egg white salad. Also tofu patties. Dry tofu, blend with one egg and whatever you wAnt. I use carrots, yellow peppers and onions. Get mixture cold. Bake at 400 until crispy. So good, my kids keep stealing them. They travel well and cause no stomach upset. Look for high Protein tofu.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
