I was sleeved on Oct 11, which is a month today! I am eating fine, I’ve only eaten too much twice, but it sure isn’t pleasant! I am taking in around 1100 cals a day and 100 grams Protein. I know that’s a lot but it’s working for me. I can workout as well as before surgery, but weak. I’m having problems wanting to eat at night, but I stay within my calorie range.

The other day, I ran across a street to avoid traffic. I just did it, I didn’t have to think what I would hurt if I tried to move too fast. Small but profound differences all over the place. It is so scary! But just trust and then hope and then it’s just you getting thinner (lots of work and measuring, yes).

Last I heard,”Tom, Bert, and William ("Bill") Huggins were three Stone trolls that Bilbo Baggins encountered in the Trollshaws, in Eriador, while with Thorin and Company on their Quest to regain the Lonely Mountain (Erebor)”.

Hello fellow VSGers,
What do you make for yourself to satisfy a sweet or salty craving? like to get a few other ideas.
I make a Gummy candy by mixing a sugar free Jello packet, a packet of Gelatin and 1/2 cup Water, boil until mixed and pour into a ice cube tray. About 1/2 an hour in the freezer then to the fridge. They’re just like Gummy bears! If I eat ALL of the ones I make, it’s 90 calories and 16 grams of protien!!

When my sweet tooth strikes....it wants carbs. Horrible carbs.
So, I trick myself with Protein Pancakes:
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 egg, plus 1 egg white
1T Water or almond milk
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Dash of salt
teaspoon vanilla
Blend this in the food processor.
It will handily make 6 little pancakes or a HUGE waffle.
Full recipe 284 Calories 22g of protein
Half recipe 142 Calories 11g of protein
I make these ahead and put them in the freezer.
I can't eat more than half of this recipe at a time. I put strawberries with splenda on them and it feels like comfort food.....and can prevent a disaster:)

I got some of these from Whole Foods the other day and they asre pretty good, even if they do sound weird:

Just not feeling well enough to get creative like some of you. I can hardly wait to get out in my kitchen and make things again. I keep things so plain and simple, which works for me at the moment.
I munch on Blue Diamond lightly salted roasted almonds, yum!
When I want sweet and salty together, I eat an Atkin's Harvest Trail chocolate Almond Salted Caramel bar...oh man, I friggin' love those! Anyone else tried them? Low carb, low sugar and 8 grams Protein, but a little pricey.

For salty I usually go to almonds with sea salt or some flavor of beef Jerky.
For sweet I usually just eat a solid piece of dark chocolate.

For salty crunchy chip cravings, my go-to is Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps. They're made of green peas! My favorite flavors are black pepper and wasabi ranch. 120 calories and 5g of protein....and you feel like you've had something really naughty:)

I make my own snack mix. 60% Ghirardelli cocao chocoate chips, low fat & sugar vanilla granola, yellow raisins, mini tricuits and blue diamond sea salt almonds.
