I haven't made these yet but I was going to give them a try. http://thebigmansworld.com/2016/09/21/4-ingredient-flourless-protein-brownie-bites/

I made sauces and dressings with it as well as adding to shakes, so yes, can definitely make satay with it.

My surgeon is 100 percent fine with coffee. Do I have six cups a day? No. I have one cup, or I take a Premier Protein to the coffee shop, have them steam it for me and add a shot of espresso.

Time to summon that same courage it took for you to get surgery in the first place and tell the FB crowd they should go ahead and block you. Harder to do with family, I know, but with your parents try a sweet smile and an, "Oh I know! But isn't it great that I can be healthy now and for the rest of my life?" It gives them no place to go with their cruelty.

I'm six months past bypass and 15 pounds away from goal. I have amazing energy, eat high Protein and low carb, do intense work outs four days a week and do yoga the other three. I have a great support team at my surgeon's office, check in with his nutritionist regularly and go to support meetings his office holds.

I didn't realize how sick and tired I was until I was no longer sick and tired. Zero regrets here.

First period since surgery on Aug. 19. Not to be indelicate, but it's like a crime scene.

I had my one year post op gastric bypass appointment today! My labs were great, my blood pressure was fantastic ( no more meds for that) I've lost 122 lbs and feel fantastic! The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner instead of at 48 yrs old!

Genius!
I poured half a caramel Premier into a cup of black coffee today. Was delish. Like a caramel latte, sans guilt. I'll give the PB powder a whirl in a chocolate shake tomorrow.

Calm down, no one is judging and no one is insinuating your are wreaking havoc on the honeymoon. @Montana Gal only mentioned the often used phrase honeymoon phase in reference to the first year post op. She even gave encouragement by saying "you could do this". No one is questioning your humanity nor are they saying they are perfect.
Me in particular, I am not judging any one because it makes no difference to me. Whether anyone succeeds or fails post op affects me not at all. I brought up the point in case the OP did not realize that dumplings are not really the best choice for any bariatric patient. You amy read my past posts and see that I generally only try to be helpful and not start tiffs on the forum. If she or you choose to have dumplings or biscuits knowing full well they are poor nutritional choices merely because you are wanting to test the waters, I'll just store that away and remember it for the inevitable questions that come next and then ignore them.

You guys sound like fairly recent patients. Are you hitting your Protein goals every day? I don't know if you should even be eating the dumplings or biscuits so soon. They are for the most part nutritionally devoid of anything you need. I understand the desire to eat somewhat normally, but you have the rest of your life (i.e. maintence stage) to treat yourselves to those foods. Why do you want to introduce them into your diet so soon?
I'm not preaching nor judging, just bringing it up for discussion.

Same here. Flinstones chewables or Centrum chewables. No gummies, ever. And no Patches because they haven't been scientifically vetted in any peer-review journals.

Jerky, cheese, Sonoma Creamery cheese "crackers" (it's baked cheese/quinoa thingie, 10 grams of Protein per serving, nice crunch), nuts, KIND bars (smoked Jalapeño my fave), cucumbers and hummus, tuna salad, turkey or ham smeared with mustard and rolled around cheese... new favorite is Premier vanilla blended with half a banana and powdered Peanut Butter. Delish.

Mix three bananas, a half cup of cocoa powder, two scoops of Protein powder and a half cup of no sugar almond or Peanut Butter. Scoop into mini muffin cups (lined) and bake for 15 minutes at 375. Store in the freezer. Tastes just like carpet underlayment but vaguely reminiscent of a fudgy brownie.
