I’ve been searching for this recipe to no avail. Do you have a link or instructions? I don’t know how much of each ingredient to use.

My family had Pasta House tonight for dinner. I’m actually the one who got it for everyone because I know the salads are one of my moms favs. Not one to cry in my Cheerios I made zoodles with turkey sausage, sautéd onions and mushrooms , cherry tomatoes and deglazed the pan with a dash of white wine. Was scrumptious !!! (And I’ll be eating it the rest of the week [emoji23]) And sorry no after pic. My daughter came and cleared my plate for me before I got the chance. I ate about 3/4. And I found these appetizer forks of my grammas. Aren’t they adorable??!!

Do you buy your zoodles, or spiralize them yourself? If so, what machine or gizmo do you use to make them? A container at Stop & Shop where I live is $5.00.

I know you weren’t asking me but I want to give you a heads up. I have the Ouddy stainless steel one and I hate it.

I have the veggie pro to make them myself. I’m NOT a gadget person but I use this one ALL the time. It comes with a thick and thin noodle blade and one for making chips. I tried making sweet potatoe chips in my air fryer but the directions I followed on line burnt them to a crisp. I’d like to perfect those.

Half a sandwich for lunch. The ancient grain bread from Trader Joe’s is great: 70 calories, 10 net carbs and 3 grams of Protein.

I ate it all. Very filling 176 calories.

lunch today. I'm so afraid of dumping I won't eat Chinese out any more. So made my own "miracle" stir fry using very little oil, and no sugar and miracle rice. So dang good!!! I forgot to add the chopped almonds/cashews for the pic but they were delish.

Still working on it, but think there will be leftoverskis.

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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
