Can anyone suggest a yummy, low fat/low cal recipe for soft apples? I had trouble eating a pear once, so I've kind of stayed away from all similar fruit due to the fear of getting stuck. It is fall now and the apples look soooo good. I'd love to be able to have some without the fear of getting stuck. Thanks!

I used to peel them, then put in microwave with tiny bit of Water for about 2 minutes. Then I would spray with "I cant believe its not butter spray" and sprinkler cinnamon and splenda on them. Turns out soft and tastes a bit like apple pie. Yummy low cal treat!

Have you tried peeling them first? For me, it's not the actual apple but rather the skin that can be tricky. If I peel the apple first I have no problems whatsoever.

Just a thought :)

Its not the skin for me, I think it is just the fact that it is a hard food. No matter how much a chew it, it seems to feel weird going down.

What about this, yummy without extra calories and soft:

Directions

1

Cut apple into 8 or 12 slices (like quarters).

2

Place apple slices in a sandwich bag.

3

Sprinkle 1 packet of Stevia (or Truvia, based on preference) into bag over apple slices.

4

Coat slices with ground cinnamon (not cinnamon sugar).

5

shake bag contents until slices are coated.

6

Remove and place slices on microwave safe dish and put in the microwave for 2-3 mins.

I got some honeycrisps at the grocery store yesterday and tried them this morning. Amazing! I peeled the skin, cut them up in chunks, sprinkled a bit of Water, some cinnamon and some truvia and put them in the microwave for about 45 seconds. They are AMAZING! Thanks for the ideas y'all!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
