Ofcourse! (Cause I love lasagna toooo!!!)

1lb ground turkey (or lean ground beef or chick)

Half of an onion

¾ of a box of chicken Stock (Depending how much you want to make you can add more)

1 can of diced tomatos or 1 ½ can of Tomato sauce alone and you cut up some tomatos and add to it

2 ounces of cream cheese or ricotta cheese

Mozzarella cheese

2 Minced garlic cloces

So what I did first was I dropped the 1lbs of turkey and I let it cook up, then I added the half of the onion and let it cook for about 5 minutes with the ground turkey. Then I add the 2 minced garlics.

I added a good palm full of Italion Seasioning to the ground turkey and onions

After they cooked for a little bit I added the chicken Stock

Let that sit for about 5 minutes

In a different pot I added the tomatoes and tomato sauce and let that cook for about 5 minutes and added the cream cheese or ricotta and let that blend in completely until its nice and light red, I added some italion seasoning to that and a little bit of salt and pepper

Now to the Big pot I added some salt and pepper too, and because Im Hispanic I add this seasoning called SAZON con ACHOTE (you don’t have to add, but it gives an amazing flavor to it you can find it in the goya international section)

I add the tomato sauce to the big pot and I flavor to taste..you can eat it as is, but I went ahead and added some sphagheti squash and it made it nice and thick and yummy..lol..

After all is done I served it in a oven safe glass bown and put fresh mozzarella on top and broiled it for about 5 minutes..IT COMES OUT BUBBLY and melty like a lasagna!!!

OMG let me know when you try it because it is amazing!! I love love love love love it!!

Plus if you wanna add your own things go right ahead, but this is a good hearty yummy soup!!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
