My MIL just bought me one, she's had hers for a while though and she loves it. Tons of awesome recipes for it on Pinterest :)

I like mine! I bought it for $12 or $13 on Amazon. It works really well with softer veggies like squash/zucchini. It didn't work the best on a carrot.

My husband, on the other hand, still won't eat his vegetables, even when they look like noodles. :)

Love mine! I got the Vegetti on Amazon and have since sent one to a lot of my female friends. I like using it for cucumber salad and zucchini noodles with marinara.

Like @@AvaFern, I love it for Zuchinni noodles. I haven't been using it post-op, but we used it quite a bit before I had surgery.

Someone recommended the Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer. You can get them from Amazon......I am going to order me one.

I adore mine. I make zucchini Pasta all of the time. I've even used carrots, yellow squash, and parsnips.

Hard cukes work well too.

I got mine on Amazon, and they have them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It was about $10, and called "The Veggetti". That name cracks me up for some reason : )

@@jazma As a guy, I am into gadgets. If it gets me to eat my veggies it will be worth the investment to try this. There is even a cook book called Inspiralized. They'll make a cook book about anything. Thank you for this topic.

I bought one from Bed, Bath and Beyond a few months ago. It wasnt worth the $10-12 dollars that I paid. It was hard to get the simplest veggie to spiral. Just my opinion.

I had one that looked kind of like an hourglass - can't remember what it was called, but it just ticked me off. I never got the hang of it, I guess?

I want one of the ones with a handle!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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... :(
