Spaghetti And Meatballs



Recommended Posts

I used "miracle noodles" which have the same nutrition facts as Water (I swear it tastes and has the exact same texture as real noodles, really is a miracle) with Tomato sauce (9 carbs and 5g of sugar and 2g of Protein for a 1/2 cup) and parmesan cheese and mushrooms and green Beans and meatballs and I am in shock how it tastes exactly like spaghetti and meatballs I had pre-op. The amount it came out to be will feed me for a week and it has so much protein-y goodness because of the meatballs (I put in a lot.) So happy!!!

I swear it tastes way better than it looks lol. It's delicious. You probably can't see the noodles because they're kind of transparent/white and are covered with parmesan. (aka more Protein :])

Prob around 12oz of sauce

Maybe 4oz of parmesan

Handful of mushrooms chopped up

Handful of canned green Beans chopped up

Here in MA, I've found them at Roche Bros. and Shaw's, and I think Trader Joes has them too. Look in the tofu section.

I suppose these are ok if you just HAVE to have a pasta-like product. But they have no nutritional content in and of them selves, and they are highly processed, so I don't eat them (I've tried them). I prefer to use "zoodles" quickly sauteed in EVO, garlic, and basil. Yummy AND gives you the phyto nutrients gleaned from eating a real & whole food> I'm such a health/whole food geek now...I' m convinced that this is part of my successful weight loss, though...

      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.
