Recommended Posts

:thumbup: This is going to save me! As many of you...I assume...I love love love Pasta. I found a recipe on Rachel Ray's website that called for spaghetti squash, ricotta cheese, peas (you can substitute) and a jar of sauce. OOOOOH my....can I say it was delish....and "low" in carb....and almost just as good as my old plate of pasta. I didn't get that carb overload/coma afterward either. I had never tried spaghetti squash before....I don't know why...but now I need to research other recipes for when I have a spaghetti/carb craving! Just had to share.....yum!

I've always wanted to try it but I don't care for squash. Is it really that good?

I love spagetti squash to! I tried it for the first time last year after me and my VERY picky 10 year old saw it on Emeril we made a regular meat spagetti sause to top it with and we both loved it. Its even good alone with salt and pepper

you can usuallyget it at any local grocery store when its in season. Just cut in half length wise take seeds out ; rub with olive oil,salt and pepper. put in in a shallow dish cut side down in about 1/4 inch Water and bake at 350 untill soft then just use a fork or spoon to scoop it out.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
