hey guys!

I saw this made for tv commercial about a tool that slices zucchini, etc do that the veggies look like noodles. For the life of me, I can not remember the name. Does anyone know the name of this product or know of a similar type of product? It produced curly "noodles" out of the veggies.

You can also just buy spaghetti squash...once cooked, you remove the seeds and shred it with a fork...it absorbs the sauce and takes on that flavor...the texture is very similiar too...

We eat a lot of spaghetti squash in our house (still pre-op). Make a light Tomato sauce with turkey meatballs and put it over the spaghetti squash ... awesome! It looks just like spaghetti!

Thanks guys! I have seen the spaghetti squash and aim to try that, as well. I really liked the idea of the curly Zoodles, too! Or, maybe I just think it's cute... Lol Trading a food addiction for a healthy cooking appliances addiction maybe?

I agree but, when I tried a bite of mashed potato the other day and it expanded in my tummy, I figured maybe I need to check out other options. My love of pasta is great but my new tummy thinks I should wait a long while to try it.

Have you tried smashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes? I also made a pizza with a cauliflower crust...it's amazing what you can do :)

I was thinking of how to make things a little more dazzling and remembered Gefu Spirelli Spiral Slicer that was on the Dr. Oz show so I ordered it. Can't wait for it to arrive. I'll let you know how it goes.

It's called a Veggitti. I am intrigued also. Be careful though, the Veggitti plus the *free* mincer came to $32 with shipping and handling, that's crazy for a tool listed as costing $14.99! I also found it on Amazon with free shipping for $14.92. Big difference . Has anyone used this thingy?

I would check walgreens and bed bath and beyond, so if it sucks you can return it without having to pay shipping to you and back.

I haven't tried it, yet, but I've found a ton of recipes with smashed cauliflower. Haven't gotten to that stage, yet. Mmmm

That's what I think it was. Yes. I didn't want to spend a ton of money especially if it didn't work. Lol Hmm I will have to check amazon

Oooh! Yes!! Tell me. If that one works well, I may go that route instead.

The link above (I think its the first comment after your post) is the one I have.

I love it!! Haven't used it post sleeve but used it before as I was trying to stop eating wheat.

My house is always filled with teens and they all LOVED it!! I sprayed very lightly with olive oil and salt and roasted it before I tossed with sauce. Zucchini reduces down alot which is no big deal for sleevers but if you're making for family make lots!! YUM YUM. PS today is my first bite of food in 3 weeks!! I had really watered down re-fried Beans and some 0 fat greek yogurt. YUM YUM!!!

      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.
