Hi Lucy! Glad it was a hit! I love this recipe but I recently stopped eating meat, so I need to make a vegetarian version. Thanks for the positive comments!

Hey luluc! Sorry it took so long to reply. I haven't checked this thread in sooo long. My veggie kick didn't last that long, lol. Well, it lasted a little over a month.

Even though I am eating some meat now, I don't eat near as much as I used to. I think all the years of low carbing and eating so much meat just turned me off from it for a while.

Well, did you and DH do the meat fast?

I had to search for this thread, anyone come up with more recipes?

I don't do low carb, but husband started Atkins a couple weeks ago (and he looooves pasta), and I'm tired of the traditional low-carb dinners I've been having to make (esp. since I'm not doing low carb). I bought a spaghetti squash for the first time, dun dun dun.

And for people not able to find it, I thought I wasn't finding it either, but it ends up they didn't have it where all the other squash and veggies were (in the refrigerator stuff).. it was out near the fruits at Publix here, so I found it after I gave up.

Anyway, going to make it tonight, going to try the spaghetti fake out-- but if we end up liking it, would like more recipes!! :))

Oh one more thing (I know this is a bit late in the game), they have EVOO cooking spray now, which is 0 calorie. It's like the PAM butter sprays and stuff, but it's EVOO.

I love spaghetti squash. I discovered it while doing a low carb diet. Get an alfredo sauce recipe...usually heavy cream, parmesan cheese, butter, some nutmeg, garlic powder and pepper. Add some ham and peas and pour over SS. It's very yummy and low carb. Take the peas out if you want less carbs.

      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.
