Recipe: Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash



Recommended Posts

I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. Before surgery, I really loved food and it was difficult after surgery. Because post-op I really hated food. But now that I am 3 years post-op, my tastes have begun to return. So my wife made me "Sausage and Apple Stuffed Shishigatani Squash" and it was magnificent.

She used a recipe for Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash substituting Shishigatani for Acorn Squash. pumpkin which was developed in the Bunka era of the Edo period (1804-1818) by Japanese monks. This is one of the rarest and most historic varieties. The fruit is ribbed, warty and uniquely shaped: like a bottle gourd. They are dark green, turning to tan at full maturity. The fine-grained flesh has a delicious, nutty flavor. This is a famous vegetable in Kyoto cuisine, though it is rare and hard to find even in its native Japan. Well it seems to grow pretty well in Indiana, provided the weather is good.

Sounds yummy! Definitely going to have to try. I wish I had a green thumb. I would love to get into gardening, but I kill every plant I touch.

      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.
