Actually tasty, I added walnuts to it. Next time we try them I'm going to try the apple sauce substitute.

Not sure the calorie content, but only had 1"x1" square lol. But my 5yr old and fiancé enjoyed them.

:lol:

yep, you got my mouth watering - now pass the plate

Couldn't help myself! There's so much non positive stuff on these forums I like to have fun

Thank you, I'm getting sleeved on 1/14 and some of the post on the site have me scared to death.

Do NOT let them scare you. You need to make an informed decision that is right for you. Remember, most people who have a normal, successful post-op period don't post about it.

Yeah I hate all the crazy nazi like posts from people bashing others, preaching their doctors food guide, yelling at people over stupid stuff. It's surgery, yes there are risks and complication with every surgery. But my fiancé was right when he told me if my fear of death was the only thing holding me back from getting surgery then to do it, that I could die in a car crash driving to the doctor/work/grocery store. No day is promised to us.

I've had complications, stalls, sliming, dumping, slow weightloss, you name it. But I'm so grateful for this tool and am happy goofy and always willing to post something goofy, crazy or helpful

I'm a Lapland complication conversion to the sleeve who had raised my son on my own since birth. Im strong and don't let others keep me down. And one day I'll make a healthy hot bride and wife, and ex wife to make my ex's baby momma crazy lol.

I'm all about support and being there for each other in this journey.

Hello were all fat or former fat people of course that's going to get our attention!! Lol. I've seen this recipe a million times never been brave enough to try it

I greatly value your positive feed back and reassurance...This has been an easy process for me from beginning pre-op appointment until wait for insurance approval. I prayed if this surgery is for me then God will make the process quick and easy...and that it has been! Also I decided to go with another surgeon because the hospital my pcp is affiliated with didn't have availability until the end of January....omg! And her I am getting sleeved middle of Jan...smh and lol Yes, I agree that with surgery complications are possible so is with everyday living... On 1/26 I will turn 40and I can't continue living in this fat shell and getting sick from all my obesity complications....so with that said Praise God for this journey! Thanks to all

Yummers! nother great one is take a box of cake mix, any brand any flavor but chocolate or spice works best, add one can of pumpkin and bake according to box. Nothing else! Can make into cake or muffins. Pumpkin really bumps up fiber and tastes sooooooooooooo yummy. About 98 cals per muffin and sooooo moist.

And here is my own personal recipe for a healthier seafood salad.

4 Imitation crab sticks (you can use real crab but not sure of the conversion, maybe 1/2 cup)

6-8 baby shrimp (chop if you like)

1/2 celery stalk (2" piece) diced

1 teaspoon (approximately) diced onion

1 wedge Laughing Cow cheese (I use all different flavors depending on my mood)

Mash all ingredients together. I just eat it with a fork. Sometimes I have a few Simple Truth Parmesean Pop chips with it.

This is my go to lunch at work most days.
