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.

      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'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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
