HIGH PROTEIN /LOW CARB BEANS???
I wonder why she would tell you that knowing you're a vegetarian, that doesn't seem to make much sense since you don't each dense protein? Hummus and fat-free refried beans would be great once you get on soft foods (minus the pita bread, of course). Here are a few of my faves:
SW Omelette: Egg beaters w/ 1T canned black beans and shredded mexican-style cheese. Top w/ salsa and dig in!
Southern-style Beans: Lima beans or black-eye peas soaked overnight. Use Spice Classics brand Greens Seasoning to season cooking water to taste
For SUPER FIRM tofu: I buy the large tub of firm tofu from the Asian market, drain it, wrap in plastic, and freeze. It takes no time to thaw and gets even chewier after freezing! Tastes great in those sauces I also buy from the Asian market.

I buy my Tempeh at Whole Foods. Any natural food store should carry it. It would be where they keep the tofu.
Nori is a mild sea vegetable. Sea vegetables are great for the minerals they provide. Nori is what they use to roll sushi.
