I tried Spaghetti Squash



Recommended Posts

After watching "Hungry Girl" do a whole show on Pasta Swaps, I finally went and bought Spaghetti Squash.

I steamed it in microwave for 10 minutes after cutting it in half. I used Amy's Organic creamy Tomato Soup about 3/4 can, and 4 Light LC cheese wedges and 2 tbsp of FF sour cream and made a creamy Tomato sauce. I added RF parm on top. I pulled the "spaghetti" from the skin and mixed in my sauce.

I have to say it was good! It makes a lot too. I could throw chicken on top or Turkey meatballs and have a really nice meal.

Low carb, Low fat and filling. This was sort of a combination of HG ideas and it was very good. I like the Soup as a base as it is sweet and I prefer that.

Sounds pretty good. Suggest substituting PLAIN (not flavored) low or no fat greek yogurt for the FF sour cream. Tastes almost the same and more Protein.< /p>

Good idea with the yogurt to up Protein. I even fed it to my 9 year old niece and she liked it. She asked why the Sgetti was crunchy. I told her I can't make Pasta too soft b/c of my band. LOL

      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.
