Hallelujah for hummus...

I am so glad to be in the soft food stage...I looooove my Basha hummus (they sell it at Costco around here)!!!

Tonight for dinner I had a Morningstar Farms veggie pizza burger with a tablespoon of the heavenly goodness on the side. Sooo yummy. What really makes me happy is that a tablespoon is all I need. My Costco-sized hummus just may last forever! That is, unless my kid eats it first.

I am surmising that now I crave savory foods more than ever since my VSG, and I find so much more satiety from savory foods. Perhaps this is a good thing, as I used to plow through anything sweet in no time.

Off to spreading some garlicky love to my kid...

Congrats!
Love love love Hummus! How do the nutrition #'s stack up?

Here is the skinny below...I added it to the Health Tracker the other day if anyone else uses it. Just type Basha hummus. 

Serving Size: 1 oz
Calories: 50
Calories from fat: 18.0
Total fat: 2g

IMO, not bad if used in moderation. Not eating it by the tablespoon like I used to. Ha!

Thanks Doc!

Hummus & cheese were big favs of mine in the soft phase.. actually, they still are :)
I love making my own, with extra garlic & cumin!

I love the alliteration............great title for your post! 

Your dinner sounds YUMMMMYY  I had to have something pizza-ish, so made a crustless pizza.............it would have gone well with garlicky hummus! 

I crave savory foods, too.  I didn't turn my nose up to a slice of chocolate cake pre-op, but I've always preferred savory stuff.  I think it's a good thing, too!

Enjoy the soft food stage.  I don't know what your plan tells you, but mine says I'll be in it for another 4 months at least.  Plenty of time to experiment in our chem labs (aka Kitchens LOL)

Have fun
 

I hate food that tastes good because I just want to keep eating it haha :-p   Those morning star burgers are dangerous in my freezer.

I love to spread a little spicy hummus on my hard boiled egg. Yum!
I think some of us want savory foods because we cannot eat much after being sleeved. Since we cannot eat much, we gotta make it count!

I'm on the soft solids for the next week or so, and should be back on normal solids by Labor Day, but honestly, I'm cool having soft solids for a while longer. I am attempting to undereat my sleeve as much as possible and having the softer foods helps with this. I would love to make my own hummus, when feeling motivated to do so... :)

And yes, Allison, those darn veggie patties are super addictive! I add Maggi seasoning (wheat-based soy sauce) to the garden ones for an Asian kick. Yum!!
