Grilled cheese alternative?

So today I had my first strong craving for a food. I’m 3 weeks out and don’t plan on going back to bread at all bc I know it’s a very big weakness for me. Any suggestions for a grilled cheese alternative?
I made pretzels with protein powder, egg whites and psyllium powder the other day but I don’t know if I can use this same recipe to make a fake bread.
Anyone find an alternative to this that was good?

  • Wow. I didn’t ask for a verbal lashing. I posted in recipes with a question. I am on soft foods. I have followed all my doctors orders and don’t need to be reminded of why I had surgery thank you ver

    You are 3 weeks. Probably on puree? What is on your plan from your doctor? Follow it. Don't skip ahead. This is the time you should be killing your cravings. Max your honeymoon period. Don't look

  • And I have been. Posting. Like. This. Has. A tone. To. It. So you can say it isn’t bashing but when you say I repeat myself and finish a comment with The end. Your tone is condescending and implied.

Your cravings might be just because you are so limited in food choices right now and need more Protein and a little more fat to be satisfied - add some avocado with your egg and/or sprinkle cheese on the egg. You miss chewing - I know I did, it will improve with time. Six months from now it will be a blur and it will all change. Be patient and be prepared, it's a trip.




And Fluffy just sees all kinds of eejits on here asking if they can have pizza at one month or alcohol and actually doing really stupid chit all the time, so her squawking sometimes sounds like chicken-little... @FluffyChix


Very possible. It’s gone now but I know it will return and I know I won’t go through my life eating nothing but grilled chicken and yogurt. 

Also, I get it with the crazy posts and admittedly I should have said I wasn’t planning on making it now, but I also feel I shouldn’t have to. An appropriate and kind response, IMO, might be “There are some options but nothing appropriate at 3 weeks out” or “probably nothing that will taste authentic and it’s not a great idea to eat something like that, anyway. Aside from Protein and Calcium it offers little nutrition”.
Many things would be better than to make someone look foolish or uninformed because they posted about a craving. That’s a form of bullying in my book.
I believe in lifting each other up.
We all have struggled with our weight but there’s a social ranking here just like high school, which is crap, bc all of us are or were fat.
I’ve been lurking here for a very long time before joining. I started my journey in 4/2018. This was one of the first times I started a thread. Maybe the second ever. Never in a million years did I know I would get jumped on for asking for suggestions. It’s ok but I felt I should explain myself. There are always 2 sides.
