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!

      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.
