Getting back to cabbage meals!



Recommended Posts

Okay, no restriction = no weight loss. Haven't really lost any weight and I've also not been eating cabbage with meat sauces for most meals lately! So guess what, tomorrow I'm cooking up another batch of cabbage, (with alfredo & spicy lean meat & turkey sausage sauce--YUM) and seeing if I can't lose some more weight on my own then!

Good luck..though restriction doesn't guarantee weight loss. Enjoy your cabbage.

I love turkey meatballs with marinara, it's tasty! don't miss the Pasta.

I think I want to try this! Is there more to the receipe or just cabbage, alfredo, spicy lean meat, and meat sauce?

I experiment with sauces. I like the alfredo best. Basically I just cook up a little turkey sausage and lean beef, pour over the alfredo, simmer, and that's the sauce. It's really good. But as the resident dieticians noted above, the sauce has actual calories and your $20k restriction won't guarantee weight loss, so you might not want to eat this. Better stick to no-cal foods biggrin.gif

LOL! I will try it anyways because I think I am smart enough to track my calories and fat for the day to still enjoy a 1/2 cup of it at meal times. LOL! Knowing me I will make it even un-healthier by adding cheese to it! I LOVE Cheese!

I eat plenty of calories including those from alfredo sauce :) I prefer to make my own however; less processed BS. But if you're relying on "restriction" to jump the scale, well..good luck. My restriction was only $400 lol.

Spaghetti squash is a good substitution as well for Pasta @ the other poster.

Yes it is very good! (spaghetti squash) I'm not the best cook so I botched the last one I baked by forgetting it was there for an extra hour or so :( Will definitely try again though.

Never baked mine. Too lazy/impatient for that. I put it in the microwave after I cut it in half in a long-ish dish with Water. Put it on for 5 mins (depending on the size) and it usually comes out fine.

Yuck.

Try counting calories. Try exercising. You can't eat cabbage for the rest of your life.

.... well you could, but could you really? Try changing your lifestyle. That usually works.

Did I seriously just get lifestyle advice about a freaking cabbage meal post!!!!!

Hey newsflash people!!! Your unsolicited advice is not welcome to most of us!!! The poster will ASK for it if that's what is wanted! We're tired of reading this kind of crap. Also, another newsflash!!! If you are working so hard to lose weight, stop giving credit to the band!! Your freaking diet is why you're losing weight, not your "tool" you love to brag about!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
