Hi ya'll--

I'm still in "prep" mode and bought a couple of Atkins books for $1.00 at a used bookstore. One of them contains a recipe for a nut crust pumpkin pie and the only thing that looks "unhealthy" to me is the heavy cream!

Is anyone good at recipe substitutions? What would you recommend? Is there a website to look for healthy substitutions?

Thanks!

(those of you who have mentioned "anytizers" in your posts made me stop and find them at the store today...definitely look promising due to their Protein count for a small serving size!)

Anne,

Try to substitute canned evaporated milk (not to be confused with sweetened condensed milk). It has 60% of the Water content removed which makes it thick like heavy cream without the fat.

i've tried plain greek yogurt, and half and half - both are decent replacements.

ok, I know we stay away from white bread, how about flour tortillas.are these a no no??

All uneccessary carbs are a no no... I have found some carb counter tortillia's (trader's Joes), they are not the same, but they give you the same satisfaction. If I have carbs, I make sure they are from whole wheat (tortillia's, Pasta, etc....) you will find that these things fill you up too fast, and you will naturally steer clear of them.

Hope this helps:thumbup:

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
