Topic: RE: not much luck for plastic surgery being covered
Congrads on your weight loss...I can tell you from my experience that I had a issue with rashes as well due to my weight loss from a RNY. I went to Dr. Castle is worcester ma and got a tummy tuck and my insurance covered it all. I have BCBS and as long as the Dr can prove that the flaggy skin affects your health in some way they will usually cover it. I would suggest looking into dr Castle he fought very hard for me to get my TT and I got approved on the frist try.. Good Luck!

Catherine,
Both quinoa and spaghetti squash are good options but are quite different from each other. Quinoa does have a good source of protein and is part of the grain family. You can normally find it in a box near the rice in the grocery store and even comes in different colors....yellow, red, black. There are so many different recipes out there, one of my favs is to cook it with some dried cranberries and slivered almonds. Pierce loves it with cilantro and sauteed onions, the options are limitless. Spaghetti squash is just that, a squash and though it has a slight sweetness to it many people substitute it for pasta and put sauce on it. Honestly I prefer it with just a tad of margarine. One spaghetti squash will give you quite a few servings too, so you'll have left overs. Try a tofu noodle if you can find them, the texture might be a bit different and might not get stuck. Perhaps though your just so tired when you get home from work that your eating too fast and that's why your getting stuck?? Hope this helps some. Take care of yourself, that's the main thing!

I'll be interested in hearing about quinoa, since I've never tried it either. I did try cous cows the other day, though - just a few bites, but that was fine. I really like it, even the plain flavor, but you can buy packages with seasonings included (much like rice pilaf) - flavors are a bit different, but really good. My favorite is parmesan flavor. I love that it's QUICK, too - cooks in around 5 minutes.
