I have!! and Omg soooo good! Lets put it this way, I enjoyed it so much I felt guilty.. and there was nothing to feel guilty about. lol.

I made the lasagna one. yum Yum! and had lunch the next day for work. It was great! this is where willpower comes in though. They were so good I wanted another.. I didn't. But I sure did want more. So now, I know I might make these as healthy treat to a cheat day for me because I like it to much and I don't like that I do. If ya know what I mean.

I have made the zuccuhini tots - love love them - double the recipe for a veggie serving. I have made the chicken parm. great as well, so easy to make and freeze. My mom made the buffalo chicken macaroni (I think that is the one), it was good as well. Not filling by itself, need to add a veggie to the meal.

if this is what you are talking bout then yes.

if not--sorry i butted in

just this week i made baby meat loaves and used my muffin tins..it measures out to be 3 oz a piece (and very easy to freeze).

i also did this with my stuffing at thanksgiving (same 3 oz)...and i am guessing you could do it with a variety of foods/meals.

I have been doing this for years making baby meat loafs - a time saver. Done the mac n cheese to and added some ham bits this is great for lunch boxes and for a quick meal on the go.

I am doing the meatloafs tonight (I add shreded carrots to my meat loaf- adds some texture and sweetness, plus it gets another veggie in my ultra picky hubs).

I made some over the weekend for dinners this week and froze a bunch. The chicken parm and taco cupcakes were great! I am so glad someone suggested emilybites.com. Love the portions!

      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.
