I am 8 weeks out. Since my last post I have lost 11lbs. So I guess the stall is over  Had my first post-op appointment with the doctor (Beausoleil) and I also saw the nurse (Monique) last week and everything is going well. I also asked to speak to the nutritionist (Rinette) to see if what I am doing is ok or if I need to change anything. I am still surprised that I don't have to do a "low carb" diet. That makes this so much easier. That said, I don't eat a lot of carbs (they don't sit as well) but knowing I am not restricted in any way food wise is great because it doesn't make me feel deprived of anything. I have moments where my food is so yummy I would love to have another bite but there is just no room for anything else. Trying my best to get in all my protein but it is hard sometimes. I find it hard to eat when I'm not hungry and well....I'm never hungry lol. Certain thing are easier to eat than others....for me, Pork loin is amazing FYI. Nutritionist said that with meat sometimes adding sauce is the key. Will have to try again with chicken. Chicken breasts have more protein but thighs are easier to eat...like I said before...it's trial and error. And if something is hard to eat one day, try again later as it might be ok now. I am in the honeymoon phase now where it seems so easy, dreading the day when hunger and cravings return....hopefully by then I will be at my goal weight.....whatever that is. Still exercising and using my Fitbit. That's it for now!

i'm sending you the link in a message! :)

I just wanted to say that for months now I was reading all the posts but never said I word....then you said...you wished the forum was more active....and I was thinking the same thing!  Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to participate in posts I see on this site..... I hope more people participate as well.

OMG!!!  I will have to find those and try them!  NuPasta!  THANKS so much for posting!

I never liked spaghetti squash personally. It looks like pasta but that's where it stops in comparison. I've tried the Nupasta http://www.nupasta.com/ and love them. I've gotten them at Sobey's in the health food section. They have virtually no flavor so they take on the flavor of whatever sauce or seasoning you use. They have zero net carbs (6 carbs with 6 grams of fiber). I feel these are an excellent substitute for pasta and something you might be interested in trying. They come in individual packages and I just use a little bit of it and freeze the rest. Just an FYI!
