I went Apple picking tiday ans now trying to find healthy ideas of things to bake usually its all for apple pies lol gonna try some cinnamon apple chips :)

SW 363lbs Surg Date 4/16/2013 CW 287lbs

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
