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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
