I use the italian sausage as a crust and top with low carb sauce, veggies and fat free cheese, maybe some turkey pepperoni.
All bran makes a great faux fried coating, Creamy salads are AWESOME with 50:50 mix of light mayo and ff Greek yogurt. I top a salad with ham & turkey, then mix light mayo and red vinegar with italian seasoning for all the taste of an Italian sub. The cheesy cauli-tot recipe is to DIE for!! I have TONS more recipes, if there is something specific you are looking for, please ask I probably have, lol!

Grilled zucchini and or eggplant is a great replacement for Pasta in lasagna.
You can also slice zucchini with a peeler, nuke, just till hot but not mushy and top with your favorite sauce.
Delis are perfect, when you are on the run. Get some low fat turkey, ham, chicken or roast beef with some lettuce/tomato/onion and mustard
Frittatas made with egg substitute, fat free cheese and veggies are delicious.

Pancakes: 1/3 c. Egg substitute, 1/4 c. fat free or low fat ricotta, 1/2 scoop vanilla Protein powder and 1/2 tsp baking powder

Keep in mind, I am further out. Up until 1 1/2 years post-op, I did not eat ANY veggies, ONLY protein because I wasn't hitting my goals. Also these recipes are a fusion between what I eat and my (non-sleeved) sister. I eat very little of any flour/pasta/sugar/potato/rice/bread, maybe a bite here and there as they cause cravings for me

hi! Can you tell me what comfort and unhealthy foods you redid and how?

There is a clear liquid flavored drink I think called Isopure at GNC that has 40 grams of protein!

Patrice1 thanks. I think that would be good. I'm having my surgery with dr schoen. I'm very excited and I'll be around 3 weeks post op when you have your sleeve done so I can tell you what I went through. Nice to meet you. :-)

You're welcome!! It is so amazing especially with a little natural peanut butter! Protein protein protein! ????

I have officially found the most amazing most healthy dessert ever!! Slice and freeze bananas then put them in the blender for single ingredient ice cream! And you can add stuff like strawberries or Peanut Butter or cinnamon! It is so amazing!

I will admit, at first that sounded gross, however when I thought about it more, it sounds awesome. I love sweets and most of the good kind make me sick, so a fruit ice cream sounds super. Thanks for the tip!

I have a YoNana machine that "creams" a banana along with any other frozen fruit. It's fabulous.

Down 27 since may 29!

My favorites are refried Beans with salsa and cheese, chicken salad, ricotta with marina, and cauliflower mock baked potato. I don't remember what my first soft/puree was...

I'm definitely looking forward to some tuna!!

Chewing just sounds so wonderful. I can hardly wait, 3 more days.

chicken salad and tuna salad. Also greek yogurt. Enjoy!

Ricatta Bake! Like lasagna without the noodles. It made me feel like I was eating "real" food for the first time.
I'm on my phone, so I can't paste the link, but Google The World According to Eggface Ricatta Bake. She has some other ideas for the pureed stage that are pretty good, also.

Low sodium, fat free refried Beans with cheese and sour cream. Season the Beans with cumin, garlic and chili powder.

wish I had the BALLS to say that!! when people ask me how I lost the weight I'm honest about it b/c enough people at my job know the truth so I don't want to deal with lying to them...they are always so disappointed when i tell them i had the surgery! its like i just told them that Santa was fake!! LOL. the way i look at it, if there was a "magic pill", OPRAH would have found it already! and if she is still curvy then it hasn't been discovered yet so surgery was what was best for me....so SUCK THOSE BALLS! ;o)

I have to check in in 7 hours!! I'm nervous, excited, anxious, but ready to start this journey! Any tips for surgery day and initial recovery?

I was so excited To get going I actually started my preop diet 2 days early my only glitch was 4 days before surgery I had a panic attack in my car on the way to work...." WTF am I doing?!" I had to pull over, breath a bit and then it passed.
I spent the day before my surgery scrambling to try and even GET to Tijuana. My flight was cancelled due to a snowstorm and I had to drive 5 hours to another state to fly standby on the very last flight into San Diego, so lots of travel anxiety there. I was actually determined enough to have driven all the way to Mexico if I'd needed to. By the time I got to OCC the morning of my surgery, my only feelings were relief that I made it and looking forward to anesthesia cause I was exhausted!
