I make apple crisp with splenda blend brown sugar and oatmeal topping w/chopped pecans. It may still have too much sugar. Maybe try a baked apple! You peel it, core it, stuff it (any combo of fruit and nuts with splenda brown sugar), and bake it. You could also try an apple tart - can it be improvised w/whole grain flat bread, I wonder?). Thinly slice peeled apples and layer on the flat bread, maybe brush it w/a complementary flavor of sugar-free jam or jelly? Home made chunky applesauce is a simple way to get apple pie flavor without all the fat and sugar. Make w/a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and splenda (I like to add dried cranberries and chopped pecans to it). You could even top it w/a little lite or fat-free cool whip. :-)

Lookup the recipes and improvise - change to low sugar, low fat ingredients. Be creative! :-)

Anyone tried whole grain Pasta yet ?

Haven't tried whole grain, but I've had Dreamfields low carb pasta. I've done ok with it. I eat such a small amount. For example 6-8 pieces of rotini or penne. Sometimes I don't even finish that.

I love apple chips! How do you make em from the real apples!? :)

I sliced them thin and then sprinkled them with cinnamon and baked for 3hrs on 200º but I'm gonna try raising the oven temp next time a little to see if they get crispier....it was my first time making them but they were so good and my 2 year old loved them too lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
