I slice the whole cabbage thin, put it in a big pot and boil it until it's tender (or crunchy if you prefer). After cooked, I keep it refrigerated then just break it out for lunches or dinner, nuke it and make a sauce. I use ground turkey, but I've noticed that you have to watch ground turkey, if it's not very lean, the calories can be as high as ground beef. Lean ground beef is probably even fine. :)

I love the laughing cow cheese sauce idea! Can I ask a dumb question about the cabbage??? So I gather you slice the cabbage thin, do you boil it or how do you make it tender? And you use turkey sausage not groud turkey, right? I want to make this it sounds delicious!

I haven't bought it yet, it's a big squash I believe, you cut it in half and bake them. When it's cooked you are supposed to be able to run a fork over it creating spaghetti size strips of the squash. I have to google and get more info before I cook first time though--

Yes, spaghetti squash is long and yellow. As mattie said, you bake it. The inside becomes stringy like spaghetti and is delish! i toss it with chicken, turkey pepperoni or ground turkey, and add sauce and ricotta. MMMMMM!!!!!!

      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.
