Recommended Posts

Lauren wasn't lying!

This stuff is GOOD!!!

I got my lightly salted bags in the mail today, and I love it.

It tastes just like pistachio's IMO.

And I'm not a huge fan of pistachio's, but these are good. The texture is a lot nicer.

Num num!

Oneof my favorites & staples. If you want to try the raw bean, mix it in just enough olive oil to lightly coat, sprinkle on a little bit of garlic salt, and roast at around 350 for 10 minutes, stir, continue, stir, etc. until the Beans are just starting to go golden.

I love edamame too! Lately I've been eating a frozen mixed vegetable steamer pack with edamame, black Beans, carrots, and sugar snap peas. It is so good. Where did you order yours from?

I ordered mine from SnackAisle.com -- Your Online Source for All Natural Snacks (I also got some froofroo organic food there)

It's Seapoint Farms Lightly Salted.

They're roasted I assume, they're crunchy and remind me of eating a pistachio with a better texture.

This is my new b'fast, I normally have coffee or frap for b'fast, but the Protein in this is so high and they're easy to eat.

I got this from wisegeek.com:

Edamame is a popular Asian food which has caught on in other parts of the world as well. It is made from soybeans which are harvested before they start to harden, and then quickly parboiled and frozen to retain their fresh flavor.

I always knew it was soybeans but I didn't know how they were made.

It's like a lima bean really, how it looks & size. But the texture & taste is different. I likey.

I wanted to mention, I also bought 'Pirate's Booty' from that same place, the name grabbed me.

Welcome to Robert's American Gourmet

It's puffed rice & corn, it's organic or something, I forget why it's a healthy thing. Like I said, I liked the name. I got caramel covered. 6-9 pieces is a good snack, and the stuff is num num and something about it is healthy. I give lightly salted dry-roasted Edamame 2 thumbs up, and Pirate's Booty caramel 2 thumbs up. DH likes the Booty too.

I also got Pita chips from this place, I saw how they were made on some tv show and thought it looked good, suppose to be a healthy alternative.. I got cinnamon & sugar, but they were hard and not very good. The bag says they were expired, so I don't know if that's why, but I don't plan on buying them again.

I also got the pretzel crackers, some new thing they came out with. I don't like pretzels, but these looked alright. I got the mustard & onion.. they're good! They're small, but I almost ate 'too much' just by having 2. So they must inflate or something.

OK guys I had to try these too!! Sams Club has a box of 12 individual 5 oz packages for less than 8 bucks. You put it in the microwave and put the packet of sea salt on it and enjoy. It is still in the pods so you have to eat slower and it is really good. Even my hubby and kids are eating it now. Thanks for the tip Lauren!!!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
