I bet the Sahara is low fat, since it's not in the over-fed U.S. ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist).

One of the best ideas I've heard is putting Protein Shakes into an ice cream maker. Eggface has some excellent recipes for those.

I love slicing up an apple, putting a bit of cinnamon on it, and nuking it (microwave) for a couple minutes.

It's true.. fruit can be a bit high in carbs for some plans. 1/2 a medium apple has about 10g net carbs. If you're Keto, it's too many.

But, you asked about low fat, and now low carb too? What exactly does your nut expect you to eat?

Ok, figured out you're only 6ish weeks postop. The sugar in the fruit might cause dumping this early in the game.

sugar free freezer pops might be good....

Have you tried halo top ice cream? If not, try pistachio and chocolate flavors.

I also make my own high Protein popsicles using low fat vanilla ice cream, berries and da vince splenda simple syrup

Cook 2-3 cups the berries in the da Vince Syrup to get the best flavors of the fruit. When assembling the popsicles alternate layers of yogurt and fruit. At the end use a kabob stick to swirl.
Each popsicle will have
If you prefer icy popsicle dont use the yogurt and each popsicle will have only 10-15 calories.

I have found I can tolerate small amounts of no sugar added ice cream and sugar-free fudgecicles. I also like sugar free Jello with fat free cool whip on it.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
