I thought the same thing, thin! I know I'm still going to enjoy a sweet treat, even if it's not in such a large portion! Thanks for sharing.

This may sound weird, but lately I loooooove the deserts that come with Healthy Choice frozen dinners. They are always so good and have little bits of oats and such in it (like peach crisp, apple crisp, etc). Yummy! And still part of the 300 calories for the whole meal.

chocolate ECLAIR DESSERT

2 Pks instant french vanilla pudding

3 1/2 cups milk

1 container Cool Whip

1 box graham crackers

1 container chocolate frosting

Mix pudding & milk. Stir in Cool Whip. In a 13x9 pan put a layer of graham crackers, half the pudding, another layer of graham crackers, the rest of the pudding and top with another layer of graham crackers. Chill overnight for the crackers to soften and flavors to blend. Top with chocolate frosting after it is throughly chilled.:redface:

You can make this with sugar free pudding, skim milk and low fat Cool Whip but I don't know a a substitute for the frosting. It is Wonderful!

I have discovered sugar free ice cream recipes, and the other night I actually made sugar free frozen yogurt using Greek yogurt for added protein! There's a lot to read here, but basically, I used plain Greek yogurt, splenda, vanilla and frozen strawberries (kind of one of hte last comments on the blog below.) I didn't have an ice cream maker, but I just used my electric mixer every hour. I am bidding on one on eBay, so I can't wait to make some of the other ideas I found using sugar free pudding, evaporated skim milk, etc.

Dessert isnt a daily thing for us, neither of us grew up with it and so we dont do it with our own family. Its more of a thing we do when we have company.

So I dont worry about fat free, sugar free etc, when I have dessert, I just enjoy the real thing.

Absolute fave? Apple crumble with double cream! mmmmmmm.....

PS: is apple crumble an Aussie thing? Like hot apples (similar to pie filling) topped with a mix of brown sugar, butter and oats and baked.

I do love a good home made apple pie too.

      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!!
