Let me count the ways: roasted, steamed with garlic, baked if it's something large like eggplant or spaghetti squash, blanched so they retain crispness, and just plain old raw. I also like tossing a bit of spinach, fresh or frozen into a Protein Shake.< /p>

Saute with olive oil and garlic, add a bit of chopped jalapeno pepper, love it cooked hot and quick! Early on after bypass, my pouch tolerated soft steamed veges, but now 8 months out, any way I want to fix them that is healthy.

I love love love vegetables pretty much every way you can make them. I don't use canned vegetables ever. I use frozen or fresh veggies multiple times a day.

Roasted, sautéed, steamed, grilled and raw. Yummo!

Tonight I made one of my fave Weight Watchers recipes, Brussels sprouts sautéed with garlic and caramelized onions, with some balsamic vinegar added at the end. Mmmmmmm.

I also like to roast all sorts of veggies in the oven with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and whole cloves of garlic.

I make Greek style green Beans with garlic and tomatoes.

Hmmm... apparently I like garlic.

i actually found great recipes on Pintrest (actually, my bestie did)...

look up Spaghetti Squash with cashew "sauce" (to die for!)

Zucchini spaghetti wtih Avocado pesto

I also love juicing, so as soon as i'm about a week to 2 weeks post op (im only 2 days post op now), i'm going to start juicing again. Baby carrots juice so sweet, so I usually use that as a base

      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.

      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... :(
