@@Hisbrowneyedgirl What's that?

It's a flourless Protein bread. Found it on Pinterest.

Includes:

eggs

Cream of Tatar

Low fat cream cheese

Packet of Stevia

It is like a sandwich thin. I made them tonight (really easy) and will try then tomorrow for lunch. Going to cut one in half and make a sandwich.

I found it you took entirely too long....what 2 mins?!! Lol! :)I have the patience of a squirrel trying to cross the road.... You will have to give me an update on them after you try one. I would have to add some garlic and cheese to that! It's not suppose to be Sweet is it?

@@Hisbrowneyedgirl I'm going to have to try that. I could probably put my cream cheese and smoked salmon on that.

I was thinking garlic bread also! Also nice to eat with chili I hope!

I used wax paper between them and put them in a Ziploc one cooled. Now they are REALLY soft. I think I am going to leave the bag open. I did toasted one today for Breakfast with an egg. Not bad:

@Elode...thanks for the pancake recipe. I haven't been sleeved yet but I'm making a recipe book for myself afterwards. They look so yummy! Did I read somewhere in this thread that you didn't change your habits until after the surgery? If so how did that work for you? I'm thinking of doing this. It would probably be the best choice for me.

Turned out delicious!! I added a bit of vanilla to it. Mine doesn't look as pretty (told you I was not a patient person!) I flipped before I should have as if that was going to speed up the process.. Anyway I added a handful of the fresh blueberries the kids and I picked a couple weeks ago. Wonderful!! If I had any Splenda brown sugar I would have added a touch of that. Next time.

Update; of course that was way too much for just myself so next time I will cut the recipe in half.

@@mommyfrog3 No I didn't, I ate whatever I wanted (up until the two week pre-op diet) my situation was a bit different that I COULDN'T lose any weight during my 3 month diet program, I would have been disqualified if I had due to my BMI being below 40, I don't have any other health issues so keeping a 40 was vital for me to get approved, I actually had to gain 8 lbs. I know crazy but I did whatever it took. After going on the two week liquid diet (which I'm proud to say I never, ever cheated on!) and having the surgery itself it made changing easy for me after surgery. I didn't have a choice and on top of that I didn't have any hunger for a good 4 months and sometimes not even now. Take for instance that breakfast I ate the one piece of turkey bacon (that was one cut in half) and barely half of that pancake and I'm stuffed! I normally don't eat in the mornings I usually have a shake because my sleeve is so tight in the morning. We're all different, I think my sleeve is pretty small though. I love it!!!

The pancake recipe has the ingredients but it doesn't say what to do. How do you fry cream cheese? I think I'm missing part of the recipe.

@@Oregondaisy Ha! Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I was in such a hurry to change the subject on the thread that I left a vital part out. I added it now!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
