Hello fellow VSGers,
What do you make for yourself to satisfy a sweet or salty craving? like to get a few other ideas.
I make a Gummy candy by mixing a sugar free Jello packet, a packet of Gelatin and 1/2 cup Water, boil until mixed and pour into a ice cube tray. About 1/2 an hour in the freezer then to the fridge. They’re just like gummy bears! If I eat ALL of the ones I make, it’s 90 calories and 16 grams of protien!!

For some reason this post made me crave a salted nut roll! lol

The nuts on the outside maybe okay, the nougat and caramel on the inside, bad boy you know better than that!

How soon after surgery did you guys start eating nuts? I’ve gotten conflicting information.

My nutritionist just said “when you start solid food” and didn’t really understand why I was asking. Some books I’ve read have said 6 months, others say never, as tiny hard pieces can get lodged in the staple line (never seems a little drastic to me, but what do I know).

Confusingly, I can have nuts starting at 6 weeks, but then it's listed later in my binder as food I could have trouble with later. Nuts are just difficult to digest in general and basically any nut that isn't an almond is a little carb bomb.

The thing that satisfies my sweet craving is Halo Top ice cream, which is just the business, man.

It's between 60-90 calories a serving with about 14-15 grams of carbs. And it's actually good. A pint of that will give four servings, which I tend to space out over a few weeks.

Oh my goddddddd halo top is my jam. Birthday cake halo top is perfection. Oatmeal cookie flavor ain’t bad either!

For salty, I make parmesan crisps in my microwave... 1 to 3 minutes depending on how many I want and they are crunchy like chips and so delicious!

I had no idea you could make cheese crisps in the microwave! I'll be trying those weekend. Thanks for that tip!
