You can cube it and add it to Soup. My SIL uses it with veggies to make a meatless stir-fry. I'm sure you can look up recipes online and there will be suddenly lots of ideas for you.

Is it silken or firm? I use firm in my cooking I dry fry it.. And then put it with sauces or eat it plain for a snack. I have a recipe to dry fry around here so where let me find it and paste because I'm too lazy to type it all out again :P

To dry fry,

I cut up my tofu and SLOW fry it with no oil or butter you can use "pam" non stick spray.. on a non stick griddle or you can use a cast Iron pan.

I fry it on a lower heat to get the moisture out and crisp it up. I buy mine at trader joes (extra firm) Also after you dry fry it you can do different things with it...like marinade in anything (it is tasteless so will soak up any flavor) and stir fry with veggies I like it marinaded sometimes but I will also eat it just straight from the fridge cold after dry frying it. I will grab a piece and dip it into hummus too.

So many recipes online, what do you feel like eating? What Flavor profile? just type in "tofu recipe" and "Thai, or Itallian, or Indian or whatever" you can ask for low carb, or no sugar, or low fat", whatever you want to have. Lots will come up.

google sample for "tofu recipe low carb Italian"

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
