Big Baby - I made the edamame wontons. (I jazzed up a recipe I found on the internet) I was going to steam them tonight like dumplings but ran out of time - so I just brought some of the filling which is delicious on its own.

I took a bag of frozen shelled edamame, cooked them in a pan with just a tsp of canola oil and 1 of sesame oil & 2-3 cloves garlic until they were softened slightly - I then put them in the blender with about 1/3 c. hoisin sauce and soy sauce, 1 tbls minced ginger (from a jar or fresh), about 3 green onions minced, 2 tsp siracha (a oriental hot sauce - but you could use a dash of cayenne as well) and a couple packets splenda and salt to taste. - It takes a while to really blend it down - I might try putting it in the food processor first. It tastes really good though. I then placed a spoonful in a wonton wrapper, moistened 2 edges, pressed to seal - add voila - ready to fry, steam or bake - I have baked some of my homemade wontons/dumplings before - important to spray or brush the tops with either pam or I can't believe it's not butter spray otherwise they come out looking a little pale and dry. (400 deg. for 12-14") can sprinkle with a little salt &/or sesame seeds

that sound wonderful - thanks for sharing!!!

Luluc - I hope you end up enjoying them if you start feeling better of course!

One note though - I think the night I made them first I must have had something salty to eat prior to making them - because in remaking them today I could tell I wasn't going to need as much hoisin and soy sauce (although being a hoisin fan - I will probably keep the hoisin up and bring the soy sauce down).

For those of you wanting to make them I would start with a 1/4 c of hoisin and just add soy sauce to taste - could always use some broth or stock to help thin down the puree.

Good Luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
