Long "Spaghetti noodles"!



Recommended Posts

I was so pleasantly surprised by the noodles. As Phoenix said, they were deliciously slurpy. And they tasted like...crunchy. Seriously not like zucchini. We too pan-sautéed them and now I wish I'd done that pre-surgery instead of eating Pasta

Made my son taste them and he was so torn. He wanted to say he loved them--which he did--but to say that would be admitting he likes Zucchini! What a crime! :)

My first side of proper veggies since being sleeved. So yummy!

That looks really cool, but my first thought was, "Really? A pencil sharpener for carrots?" :-P

That looks like an amazing tool.. Currently I only have the julienne slicer to make small little strips... But long ones.. That's just great!! Hope our Amazon UK has one of those!!

In my first post, I provided a link to the one we got. If they don't have the pencil sharpener one, perhaps they'll have my one. It's pretty sturdy. Enjoy!

Thanks I just ordered one too! Can I ask what the shavings are on top of your dinner in the picture? They look too translucent to be Parmesan. Thanks!

You're right, it is Parmesan! I use fresh Parmesan and grate it right from the block. I used a ribbon Microplane grater which is why it's so thin. There's nothing like fresh Parmesan!

I to bought one of these guys and I tried to make zucinni noodles. They were not what I expected but I did it right over the pan into the fire. Did you allow the noodles to dry a bit before you used them? I think that would help. I also thought about putting them into a very low temp oven and allow them to dry for awhile before cooking with them. Mine just came out so wimpy nad wet. I would like to make them better and I hope you can help. If you would, would you email me at mthomas62@cox.net and give me some help please. I really do miss Pasta.< /p>

      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.
