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!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
