I mix canned pumpkin in my yogurt. I'm about 18 months out and can eat more, so scale back accordingly:

1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 1 cup Fage 0 Plan Yougurt, Splenda to taste, splash of vanilla, sprinkle of cinnamon

Last fall I also enjoyed it in a Protein drink. About 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1 cup soy milk, 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, sprinkle of cinnamon.

Pumpkin is a great fall flavor with only 40 calories per half cup. Yeah Fall!

Check out Torani.com They do offer pumpkin Spice in sugar free - and many other sugar free flavors I haven't seen in local stores.

I'm currently on a liquid diet, so I make pumpkin cheesecake (just the filling).

Take 1 box of sf instant cheesecake and mix it with 2 c cold ff milk (I use Braums milk as it's higher in Protein, it's a local store here in Texas). Then mix in 1/2 of a can of pumpkin puree (Libby brand) and 1/2 a container of ff cool whip with about 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Chill and eat. So freak'n good. Makes about 6 servings at 1/2 c each I think. And you can add a scoop of unflavored Protein to the first step if you wish. YUM!

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving. I'll probably only get to eat turkey, because my mom makes carb-crazy sides. Thanks

Sorry just saw the question on the can of pumpkin/size... I use the 15 oz cans of libby pumpkin puree. I use half of the can per recipe. You could probably add more, but the calories change. I know what my brands in this recipe equate to (and it's about 100 calories per 1/2 c. a serving per mfp inputs). But know that it differs depending on what you use brandwise. But yessss it's good!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
