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 :)

      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... :(
