My sweet tooth is still alive and well..I guess that's why I never had issues with the Protein Shakes during this journey. Today I am making a bariatric friendly homemade Peanut Butter cup/cashew butter cup. So good!

Now I want to try to make this. Any recipe suggestions?

@GreenTealael

This is the recipe for the chocolate that goes in your Peanut Butter cup molds. I do not use honey..I use a sugar substitute personal preference. The filling I do homemade unsalted cashew butter in my ninja or homemade unsaltedpeanut butter in my ninja for the filling. You can play around with it.

all the chocolate-peanut butter talk last week got me all excited and i finally dragged myself to grocery to get the ingredients ( 70% dark chocolate chips and peanuts-which i ground to diy Peanut Butter + some diy confectioners sugar as well)

whipped up these sad looking cups but oh so yum...i'm with @Lilia_90 ...dark chocolate for-evah!

yeah i ran out of chocolate so one cup was topless lololzzzz

ate one...approx 105 cals.

1) mini butter chicken meat pie & a minced pork and chive bao bun...400 cals for it all, ate ½ the bao and one bite of pie (wasn't very good)

2) ½ a slice of my homemade black truffle bread, 1tbsp strawberry jam, 1 tbsp almond butter: 220 cals, ate it all

3) truffle bread again with 1 tsp butter, 1 tsp olive oil & 1 tbsp balsamic glaze: 120 cals, ate it all.

4) cabbage Soup with leftover grilled chicken: 150 cals, ate it all

5) a chocolate-peanut-butter-banana funnel cake monstrosity with a side scoop of vanilla ice cream. i had one single bite of this (sans ice cream), swearsies. i honestly just like ordering food more than i like to eat it. it was split among my dinner companions but most was left on the plate (they had their own Desserts to contend with!!)

Hi Hunnybunny @Starwarsandcupcakes how are you doing?

Doing pretty good! My first meal post-op was liquids and since I kept it down I got mashed potatoes and Soup for dinner. I have my 2 week post op this coming Friday and by then I should know when I’ll be allowed back to work. Meals this past week have been mostly on the older kids to make because I’m too tired by dinner to care. 😂🤷‍♀️ So for me I’ve been eating mostly salads. The one with corn is vegan ground beef, green chilis and corn. The kids topped theirs with cheese and cornbread batter and baked it.

All this chocolate talk had me reminiscing about those giant dark chocolate pb and j cups I used to make all the time (peek the halloween version LOL). I’ll head to the grocery store today to get the ingredients and make them again.

I couldn’t stop thinking about them (thanks lot) so I made orange dark chocolate Peanut Butter cups and stuffed two of them with jelly. Unfortunately didn’t get any of the ones with jelly, I had a whole one.

1) garlic chilli crisp oil

2) ginger green onion sauce

3) simple Syrup

4) earl grey infused simple syrup (made this on whim and don't know how i survived all this time without it! #yum) added a generous drizzle over some silken tofu....😋

oops i did it again:

came home from 2.5 hours of hot yoga and was too lazy to fix something so reached for some junk.

sour cream & onion chips, 1/4 of a coconut bun and 1 of those dark-chocolate-peanut-butter cups i made the other day.

317 calories for it all.

ate almost all of it.

(i really need to make sure there is something to eat when i get home from yoga/pilates/rock climbing....need to go grocery shopping!!)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
