This recipe is deliciously deceiving: Instead of starchy strands of pasta, it’s made with piles of healthy spaghetti squash, which is easily made in the microwave while you sauté turkey sausage, zucchini and onion, and chiffonade basil to layer on top.

I had my first unfill yesterday. I had my last fill 10 days ago - 1/2 cc, my usual amount. But I have been sick for the past 10 days, I could not understand why. (They took out 1/2 cc yesterday). I was not able to keep anything down those past 10 days. What I was able to eat before, I could only eat 1/2 of that - 4 raspberries, 4 bites of salmon, 3 or 4 sips of liquids, and I could not even keep that down. Once before, when I had a fill of 4 cc, I was in distress, but it did pass after 2 or 3 days. However, this time, it lasted for 10 days, with no sign of getting better. I thought this would pass also, but it did not. During these 10 days, I lost 13 pounds. OK, this was way too much weight to loose so fast (to be honest I was so happy about loosing so much weight, so I resisted going to the doctor). Yes, I agree it was not a good idea to wait so long! I went into the doctor's office yesterday without an appointment, and I told them what was going on. They told me I had reached my "sweet spot". It was at that moment I realized what was happening to me. That last fill had sent me over into the Sick Zone. Everyone's sweet spot is different. You don't know you have reached it until you get thrown into a place that is uncomfortable. My only advice is not to wait as long as I did to return to the doctor. Because I am now at my sweet spot, I will not need as many fills, and the fills will be smaller. After they took out the 1/2 cc, I was able to eat normally again, without feeling sick, and am now able again to enjoy my Recipies of the Day! So I am at a new stage of my journey - my sweet spot. In the immortal words of Jackie Gleason, "How Sweet It Is". So feel free to check out my blog to follow my journey, to see some tips and to see my Recipies of the Day":thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

My mother has been making this soup for several years now. Stews for me are comfort foods and every time I makes this dish it reminds of my childhood. It is incredibly easy to make, given how tasty and how low in calories it is. Works well with white fish, I've used cod, tilapia, sole with good results. I also use clam juice some times, mmmmm... tasty. ENJOY!
