I am wondering what unique foods people have found themselves eating after surgery. I had someone offer me okra chips today and I was skeptical to try them but they are actually delicious! What foods are you now eating or have tried that you would not have before surgery?

Hummus! I never liked it before but decided to try it with carrots and celery last week and I like it

@@mtraverse I have never tried hummus but I have heard its good and healthy. I will have to give it a try! ????

I just started getting hooked on humus!! Loving it !!

I like making my own hummus. It's super easy and way better for you than the prepared stuff.

@@Cervidae, how do you make hummus?

It's super easy. Just toss chickpeas, a bit of olive oil, a bit of lemon juice, some fresh garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper in your food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Love hummus.

Chicken pizza crust. Yum!

Cauliflower crust, zucchini tortillas, roasted Brussel sprouts, all kinds of things!

I think I've been limiting myself too much. I am actually bored with my diet right now but these sound delicious.

besides cauliflower and chicken pizza crusts, I have been making dishes with spaghetti squash. Takes the place of Pasta and I don't notice much of a difference!!

Spaghetti squash? Where do you buy that?

@wvugal Where do you get your recipes?

I've tried spaghetti squash a number of times. I must be cooking it wrong, because every time it seems to clump together into an unholy mess, especially when I put any sort of sauce in with it. A solid knot of tangled squash that ends up having to be cut with a knife.

I think I do it right: I cut the squash in half, put it in a pan with a small amount of Water and bake it for about 40 mins in the oven, then when you can pierce it with a knife take it out and use a fork to shred the insides into "spaghetti". But the squash seems to clump together.

Any ideas?

I haven't had surgery yet but I discovered I LOVE roasted Brussels sprouts. I don't like them boiled though. I boiled them tonight with some sautéed shrimp.
