Let me count the ways: roasted, steamed with garlic, baked if it's something large like eggplant or spaghetti squash, blanched so they retain crispness, and just plain old raw. I also like tossing a bit of spinach, fresh or frozen into a Protein Shake.< /p>

Saute with olive oil and garlic, add a bit of chopped jalapeno pepper, love it cooked hot and quick! Early on after bypass, my pouch tolerated soft steamed veges, but now 8 months out, any way I want to fix them that is healthy.

I love love love vegetables pretty much every way you can make them. I don't use canned vegetables ever. I use frozen or fresh veggies multiple times a day.

Roasted, sautéed, steamed, grilled and raw. Yummo!

Tonight I made one of my fave Weight Watchers recipes, Brussels sprouts sautéed with garlic and caramelized onions, with some balsamic vinegar added at the end. Mmmmmmm.

I also like to roast all sorts of veggies in the oven with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and whole cloves of garlic.

I make Greek style green Beans with garlic and tomatoes.

Hmmm... apparently I like garlic.

i actually found great recipes on Pintrest (actually, my bestie did)...

look up Spaghetti Squash with cashew "sauce" (to die for!)

Zucchini spaghetti wtih Avocado pesto

I also love juicing, so as soon as i'm about a week to 2 weeks post op (im only 2 days post op now), i'm going to start juicing again. Baby carrots juice so sweet, so I usually use that as a base

      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.
