I find that when I have a chocolate craving that if I mix some plain Greek yogurt with some chocolate Protein Powder it satisfies my choc craving. It's worth a try. I use the Unjury brand of Protein powder so it dissolves and is lump free in the yogurt. Good luck, I know it's tough.

I'm a newbie but I took ricotta cheese mixed with stevia in a small casserole dish and baked it for about 25min @350 degrees. Refrigerated it till it set.....Then took fresh strawberries pureed them and poured it on top.... Mini Cheesecake Gastric Sleeve style :)

do you have the amounts you used?? Can I use splenda instead?? Sounds yummy!! I think this would make a nice Christmas dessert for me. I love my ricotta bake I make with spaghetti sauce and mozz cheese.

This sounds so gross yet so amazing yet still gross. Haha! Gotta try it because I'm caving in to much and I'm finally leaving the 222lb mark and reaching 216 but I'm between the two now.

Here is the whole recipe (it might be from eggface.com but I really don't remember?) When I make it I cut it in half and get four servings that work perfectly for me.

8oz Ricotta part skim

1/2 cup grated parmesan

1 large egg beaten

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 marinara or spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

mix ricotta, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together. Place in a over proof dis. Pour the marinara on top and then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 450 for about 20-25 mins.

With the ingredients I use, and for half the recipe these are the counts I get.

94 calories

7.25 grams of Protein

4 grams of sugar (this is because of the spaghetti sauce I use) My doc wants my sugar grams at 25 or less and I am always around 6-9 only for the day so I use the sauce I like!!

I take a frozen banana some natural no sugar Peanut Butter and coco powder and blend.. It's honest to god. Like ice cream!! I hated the Protein powder and Greek yogurt. But for my chip addiction I love Greek yogurt and dry ranch dressing packet and veggies.

I took 1/2 cup of skim milk ricotta cheese put it in the bowl with 1 envelope of sweetener - stevia, trivia splenda- it really doesn't matter. I creamed it all together with my mixer and placed mix in a 6 oz ramekin. Baked it cooled it and presto I had 14 grams of delicious protein! Oh and I also drained the ricotta first so it wouldn't be to mushy. Yummy :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
