I am new to quinoa but the dietician says I should try it as a healthy starch. I am looking online and the idea of the boil in bag deal is nice since I am not much of a cook. Has anyone ever tried the Success boil in bag quinoa?

I haven't tried a boil in bag, but I incorporate quinoa regularly into what I eat these days. It is easy to prepare from scratch. I found this site that is a good introduction into cooking it:

Hope you enjoy it! I like it with roasted veggies on the side, or topped with melted cheese.

I like mine with roasted veggies too. It is pretty good as long as you rinse it well, cook it long enough, and flavor it well. My favorite way to eat quinoa actually is in these little canned tuna meals. https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Planet-Organic-Sweetcorn-Zucchini/dp/B0CHXRKKB2 Expensive, yes, but handy when I don't want to cook!

I have never tried a boil in bag quinoa but I think it is worth a go! I'd probably put some chicken stock paste in the Water to flavor it though...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
