I found some Shirataki Noodles while surfing on the net and i am going to order some and try them have not ordered yet so i can't speak from experience but maybe it can be a good alternate for the regular Pasta noodles. Google it and see what you think.

Well, if you're talking spaghetti & meatballs..... we sometimes have spaghetti and meat sauce, but weigh the pasta.... 2 oz angel hair, OR, I have mine over french style green Beans. And we usually use ground turkey. Also, we add lots of mushrooms and onions. Another idea is to make a "lasagna" using sliced eggplant instead of noodles, ground turkey, low fat ricotta and other low fat cheeses, and keep your sauce as low calorie as you can. We make our sauce with a couple of cans of diced tomatoes and maybe 1 can of Tomato paste for the two of us.

I just made this last week. Zucchini Rollups. They were delicious!

I actually thought it would be a great replacement for the lasagna we usually have for Thanksgiving.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
