Yes, me too! Problem is I was once one of THOSE.... Good luck to all! Mary

I am 7 weeks out.... Surgery date was July 10,2012. I am a band to sleeve revision patient andorra 24 lbs in 18 months with the band. I've lost exactly 20 lbs since beginning my pre-pp diet for a total of 44 lbs. I'm running out of clothes now....

I tried these tonight and they were amazing! Thanks for posting!!

I just used ham instead of salmon and Baby Bell instead of the shredded cheddar. I shredded the Baby Bell by hand and baked it as usual. All the other ingredients are the same.... Very tasty!!

Hope you enjoy! I tried it today with ham and Baby Bell lite cheese... It was great

Hello everyone! I'm 5'2" and had a band to sleeve revision on July 10, 2012. Since surgery, I've lost 16 lbs for a total of 40 lbs. Good luck to all on this journey....

I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 175.5. Start weight with band 215, start weight with sleeve 191. Goal is 125. Also, I'm 62 years old and have been fighting this battle since I was a teenager....

Stall ended today.....down one pound this morning....

So true.... It's just frustrating......I may go back to shakes and clear liquids if it doesn't move in a few days....

Can't move beyond a 15 lb loss in 4 weeks.... I've been stuck for 6 days now... Suggestions????

I would if some thinly sliced eggplant that has been drained and baked would work as a substitute for the wonton wrapper...

You can substitute soy milk or lactaid milk if you wish. I added Kefir because it has more protein than milk, 11 grams per 8 oz for Kefir and 8 grams per 8 oz for milk. This recipe can be adapted any way you want. You could use ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese as well, or substitute ham that has been finely chopped for the salmon.

Just tried this and it's good! 1 cup cottage cheese 1/2 c shredded cheese 4 eggs 1/2 c low fat plain Kefir 3 Tablespoons corn starch 4 oz Nova salmon 4 oz grated Parmesan cheese Mix first 5 ingredients in a blender for about 30 seconds. Pour into individual tart pans (aluminum pans available in baking section of grocery store). Chopped up salmon and mix one ounce each into each tart pan so that all pieces are submerged. Grate one ounce of Parmesan cheese on top of mixture. Place pans on a baking sheet and bake at 440 degrees F for 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown and puffed. Serve warm. Each serving: Calories-351 Carbs-13 grams Fat-16 grams Protein-35 grams

I just tried these using soy cheese. They were amazing. I can see using them as a garnish on soups and other puréed foods to give crunch and a bit more protein. I've seen these done with just Parmesan and poppy seeds with a lollipop stick for a cocktail party. And some restaurants makes these as a garnish to their entrees. So glad to have tried these! Thanks for posting!!

Yes, when I made these during my Weight Watchers years, I always substituted different fruits. Try canned peaches or any other fruit. I've also used fresh strawberries and blueberries. Good luck! Mary
