I have been missing veggies....



Recommended Posts

So I bought a big bag of spinach at costco the other night, I usually have it mixed with scrambled eggs. Tonight I put some olive oil and garlic in a skillet, then threw in a big handful of leaves and and sautéed them until they were wilted. It was fantastic!

Since you like spinach, you should try the recipe Patty posted, here's a link: http://www.smartbalance.com/recipes/chicken-and-spinach-casserole. It's so good! The green giant seasoned steamers are really good too, I just had the Tuscon broccoli with some cheese tonight.

Terry, don't laugh at me but I would take those tiny little baby spinach leaves and put tuna fish inside and roll em up. Oh, don't forget the laughing cow lite creamy swiss cheese wedge to put in that tuna. Thanks to Missy, she created the best tuna fish with laughing cow and babybel cheeses :)

Last night I used thinly sliced zucchini as my spaghetti noodles for my spaghetti. It was fantastic, cooked the zucchini in a bit of olive oil then poured the spaghetti sauce made with turkey pepperoni over the zucchini. My 4 year old grandson loved it too.

Roast your veggies to make them more band friendly.

I toss baby carrots ( which I cannot handle well uncooked) or Broccoli or cauliflower in olive oil and Italian seasoning (the dry herbs, not the salad dressing) and roast them at 325 for 20-25 minutes. The get soft and sweet and oh so tasty!

Also, you can make honey roasted carrots or sweet potatoes by tossing in olive oil and top with a little drizzle of honey. Definitely satisfies the sweet tooth.

      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.

        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!
