I am 12 days post op and was so excited to learn about the spiralizers that are on the market today! You can make beautiful Pasta out of zucchini and dress it with your own sauce. There are several styles to choose from ... Have fun! I can't wait to try some recipes in a few weeks!

If you are a veggie fan it works out great. I've done it with zucchini in the past. But honestly, I am 5 weeks out and able to eat regular pasta. I'm buying Protein fortified to add a little extra protein to my day. I'm not a big veggie fan especially when I can have the real stuff.

I've had a variety of pasta with no issue. Ramon noodles, microwave mac n cheese, regular pasta mixed with tuna. I've had perogies. Tonight I had part of a lean cuisine cheese lasagna. I've not had an issue with any of it. I was allowed to add pasta at the start of week 4.

Now I will say, it freaks my mother out that I am eating pasta because she said it was several years before she could, but her program didn't allow it or bread. Mine allows both.

      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.
