Recommended Posts

I came across the below recipe and thought it sounded like a great recipe for those of us that are in stage 4 or later. Lots of Protein and little to no carbs. Looking forward to trying it.

Stuffed Zucchini

Ingredients

3 zucchini

1 lb ground turkey/chicken/beef/sausage

1 cup dry bread crumbs

1 clove garlic minced

1 (32) ounce jar spaghetti sauce

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

½ cup mozzarella or Monterey jack cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 derees C.)

2. Trim stems from zucchini and slice lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and put in bowl.

3. Place sliced zucchini (cut side down) in a 9 x 13 baking pan with a small amount of Water. Bake them in the heating oven while preparing the remainder of the recipe.

4. Brown meat mixture with garlic, drain grease and add to bowl with zucchini seeds.

5. Mix seeds, meat mixture, bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

6. Remove zucchini from the oven and stuff them with the meat mixture and return to the 9 x 13 baking pan.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
