Once a month my sorority sisters and I go out for dinner, shopping and gossip about anyone who couldn't make it. Last month it was the week before my surgery and tonight was my first post op.

We chose a Mongolian BBQ thinking I could get Soup, but this restaurant (Genghis Grill) didn't have any. Yes, I know to check online ahead of time, but I had sworn they had it so totally my fault.

I was totally fine not ordering anything as I am on mushies, but a couple of friends ordered Edamame so I gave it a go. I ate six pods worth and was full. It was delicious and I can't wait to reheat it for tomorrow. I would have preferred it a bit softer for my current stage, but it was salty, garlicy and citrusy all in one!

I love that it's fun to eat, perfectly portioned (one bean is a bite) and full of Protein. So excited that it stayed down, too!

Yay me!

This has been a go to for me!

I picked up some roasted edamame. It has the texture of peanuts (sort of). A handful is a wonderful snack. Lots of protein.
