Question- Do you mix the pudding according to the package, or just dump the powder in with the tofu?

I am going to be banded in about 6 weeks, and I want to try a few recipes to see how much I will enjoy high Protein low carb foods. Okay, this is the first recipe I have ever tried and am surprised to say they are pretty good. I made a few changes and tried to figure out calories, but this is my first time so I may be off for some reason, if so just call me on it. I'd like to know if I did this wrong. I didn't have any splenda so I used stevia instead. Here is a conversion chart I used. Cooking With Stevia and Stevia Recipes I only used 10 packets because it was all I had. Got it form here STEVITA Stevias ($2.59 for 50 ct) I thought that was a good price. I'm going to get crazy with the math so hold onto your hats. Stevia has 0 calories and 1/2 cup splenda = 384 calories SPLENDA Splenda adds 25 calories per cookie Stevia ands none. So kick it up a little I added 5 chocolate chips to each cookie (not SF) there are 70 calories in appx 18 chocolate chips so 5 chips would be about 19.44 calories per cookie. I also wanted to try this with Protein powder so I made 8 Cookies without protein powder and to the rest of the batch I added 1/2 scoop of Chocolate

I am just stopping by to introduce myself. I am very excited to have found this forum. I have not been banded yet but have begun the journey. I was just approved for surgery today after having my psychological exam. My next step is to meet with the surgeon. I have not officially heard if I have been approved for insurance but I meet I criteria, so I am hoping there will be no surprises there. I started this process 3 years ago only to find out that insurance would cover RYN but not the band. After the disappointing news I tried 1 more time really hard to lose weight and had lost 35 lbs, took me about a year, then started slowly gaining it back again. Fed up with the yo yo once more I called my insurance. Since then they have approved the band. Originally I had started the process with Dr. Malley in Kansas City, but when I started looking into it again he was 4 months out before I could even start seeing him so I did some research and decided to go with Dr. Hoehn. So far everything has been great and I am happy with that choice.:tongue:
