Thanks, my friend. Any chance of a couple of photos too?!

I looked - no Beanitos here 😥

Quick chickpea recipe?

2 400g cans chickpeas/garbanzo Beans

Drain, pull off the obviously loose shells. Lay on paper towels for 30mins to dry, swapping out the towels after 5 mins.

Bake 400degrees, on a tray lined with foil. Check after 40 mins - may take up to an hour. Done when crunchy.

Drizzle over 2 tbsp olive or coconut oil, and coat. Then tip into seasonings.

Today, I have two seasonings - 1/2 each of:

1. Chipotle rub

2. Chilli con carne rub.

Also nice - garlic salt, bbq salt - even honey/cinnamon if you aren’t aiming to be low carb (you pop those back in the oven for 5 mins to caremelize the sugars...)

Actually - chickpeas are carby - I checked. Not sweet! When baked they halve in weight - this made me two flavours, 2 biggish movie-treat helpings of each. Each helping has 310 calories, 50g carbs - all complex, not sugar- and 15g Protein. I have half or 1/3 a helping.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
