Sugar free deserts and heart healthy



Recommended Posts

Haven't had the surgery yet myself but there are many Keto recipes floating around that you can try that MAY work for us after surgery (as they are usually sugar free). Here are some of the ones I use periodically. As you can see they are sorta similar.

Various Versions of Whips/Mousse Desserts

1 tub sugar free cool whip
1 block softened cream cheese
1/4 cup Swerve

Mix with mixer until fluffy and store in fridge (scoop what you want, when you want). Can add in Lily's Sugar Free Chocolate chips (in various flavors), berries, sugar free syrups, etc.


1 block softened cream cheese
1 box any flavor sugar free jello
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Mix with mixer until fluffy. Scoop into small balls with scooper or use hands. Lay balls on parchment paper and put in fridge or freezer for a few hours. I store leftovers in and airtight container in the freezer.


1 package of sugar free pudding mix any flavor
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Mix with hand mixer until fluffy. Top with sugar free chocolate chips, sugar free syrups, or berries.

Since these call for Sugar Free Pudding mixes there are soooooo many flavor variations you can come up with.

Peanut Butter Balls

8 oz softened cream cheese
4 oz creamy NATURAL Peanut Butter (ingredients should list nuts and salt only)
4 Tbsp Swerve
1/2 cups crushed dark chocolate chips, optional

Mix together room temperature PB, cream cheese and sweetener. Stir until well mixed and smooth. Scoop into small balls or use your hands. Roll into crushed chocolate chips, optional. Arrange on parchment paper lined pan and put into freezer for 2 hours. Enjoy. Store remaining balls in airtight container and store in freezer.

Sugar free whipped cream and some berries would be a good treat too.

There are lots of recipe websites out there too dedicated to those who have had the surgery.

Recently I also whipped up some Plain Greek Yogurt (about a cup) with a few tablespoons of Natural Peanut Butter (2-4 tbsp....just nuts and salt as ingredients), some cinnamon, and a little honey and made a "dip" for my apples. It's sooooo good! I also imagine you could eat the "dip" as is too.

Looks like this may work for a treat too.................

Low Carb Protein Cheesecake

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 2
Calories 165kcal


Ingredients

8.5 oz. low fat cottage cheese
2 egg whites
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp. Stevia
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 serving sugar-free strawberry Jell-O
Water

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C).
Prepare the Jell-O according to the instructions on the package and place in freezer.
Blend cottage cheese and egg whites until the consistency is smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and whisk it together with the Protein Powder, Stevia, and vanilla extract.
Transfer the batter into a small nonstick pan and bake for 25 minutes.
Turn off the oven, but leave the cake in it while it cools down. Once the oven has cooled, remove the cheesecake.
When the Jell-O is almost set (you should just be able to stir it), pour it over the cheesecake.
Let the cake set in the fridge for about 10-12 hours minimum before enjoying.

Notes
This recipe is for 2 servings of cheesecake. Each serving is half of the cake.
The cake needs to be refrigerated for at least 10 hours to set, so it should be made the day before you plan to serve it. Make sure to use a protein powder with good vanilla flavor that holds up well in baking.
You can change up the flavor of the topping by using different types of Jell-O.
The egg whites need to be thoroughly whipped to ensure the cake has some height. For a taller cake, use a smaller pan or double the recipe. This cheesecake can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
