I have been missing veggies....



Recommended Posts

So I bought a big bag of spinach at costco the other night, I usually have it mixed with scrambled eggs. Tonight I put some olive oil and garlic in a skillet, then threw in a big handful of leaves and and sautéed them until they were wilted. It was fantastic!

Since you like spinach, you should try the recipe Patty posted, here's a link: http://www.smartbalance.com/recipes/chicken-and-spinach-casserole. It's so good! The green giant seasoned steamers are really good too, I just had the Tuscon broccoli with some cheese tonight.

Terry, don't laugh at me but I would take those tiny little baby spinach leaves and put tuna fish inside and roll em up. Oh, don't forget the laughing cow lite creamy swiss cheese wedge to put in that tuna. Thanks to Missy, she created the best tuna fish with laughing cow and babybel cheeses :)

Last night I used thinly sliced zucchini as my spaghetti noodles for my spaghetti. It was fantastic, cooked the zucchini in a bit of olive oil then poured the spaghetti sauce made with turkey pepperoni over the zucchini. My 4 year old grandson loved it too.

Roast your veggies to make them more band friendly.

I toss baby carrots ( which I cannot handle well uncooked) or Broccoli or cauliflower in olive oil and Italian seasoning (the dry herbs, not the salad dressing) and roast them at 325 for 20-25 minutes. The get soft and sweet and oh so tasty!

Also, you can make honey roasted carrots or sweet potatoes by tossing in olive oil and top with a little drizzle of honey. Definitely satisfies the sweet tooth.

      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.
