This recipe is one I used when I had a guest with a wheat allergy at the holidays. This would be great baked in single serving ramekin (sp?) and frozen for the time a dessert would hit the spot. I bet you could substitute ricotta cheese instead of the cream to up the Protein content. I also used 2 tbs pumpkin pie spice instead of what the recipe calls for. I hope this helps! http://www.food.com/recipe/crustless-low-carb-pumpkin-pie-104352

There are some in the food/recipe section of the forums...I was just reading through them the other day and saw some pumpkin related recipes. Check there!

I'm asking for anyone here that has found any that fit low carb pre-op diets and are decent. I haven't found that many decent ones or I wouldn't have asked.

I am so going to to try Luvin_Life125's recipe with ricot instead of the ceam, and put it in muffin tins to help me with Portion Control and make freezable servings. Actually, in our house, ricotta gets thrown into a lot of things. I will look through my cook-books and see what else I can find that is modifiable. pumpkin is one of my favorites, too. Oh, and cranberries. Last fall, my boyfriend made a cranberry relish with modifications for me. It also invoved Splenda, but since then I have switched to Monkfruit sweetener.

Haven't had the surgery yet, so I don't know what your recipe requirements are, but I saw a recipe today on www.myrecipes.com for a pumpkin sage polenta (or grits for those of us down south!) that sounded wonderful.

pumpkin chia pudding

Soak chia seeds in almond milk overnight or as long as possible for I stand gratification. Mix with pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon,nutmeg) maple Syrup and enjoy!

It doesn't pound like much but i promise, the longer you soak the seeds the better and it's addicting!!!

Interesting...I've never thought of pumpkin in a savory way before. Sounds like something to try for thanksgiving. I should put this on my to-do. Thanks

I buy the canned pumpkin puree and mix it in my greek yogurt with splenda and a little cinnamon. Yum! I also make a yogurt smoothie using the same ingredients and enough Water to thin to taste.
