I mix canned pumpkin in my yogurt. I'm about 18 months out and can eat more, so scale back accordingly:

1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 1 cup Fage 0 Plan Yougurt, Splenda to taste, splash of vanilla, sprinkle of cinnamon

Last fall I also enjoyed it in a Protein drink. About 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1 cup soy milk, 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, sprinkle of cinnamon.

Pumpkin is a great fall flavor with only 40 calories per half cup. Yeah Fall!

Check out Torani.com They do offer pumpkin Spice in sugar free - and many other sugar free flavors I haven't seen in local stores.

I'm currently on a liquid diet, so I make pumpkin cheesecake (just the filling).

Take 1 box of sf instant cheesecake and mix it with 2 c cold ff milk (I use Braums milk as it's higher in Protein, it's a local store here in Texas). Then mix in 1/2 of a can of pumpkin puree (Libby brand) and 1/2 a container of ff cool whip with about 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Chill and eat. So freak'n good. Makes about 6 servings at 1/2 c each I think. And you can add a scoop of unflavored Protein to the first step if you wish. YUM!

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving. I'll probably only get to eat turkey, because my mom makes carb-crazy sides. Thanks

Sorry just saw the question on the can of pumpkin/size... I use the 15 oz cans of libby pumpkin puree. I use half of the can per recipe. You could probably add more, but the calories change. I know what my brands in this recipe equate to (and it's about 100 calories per 1/2 c. a serving per mfp inputs). But know that it differs depending on what you use brandwise. But yessss it's good!

      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.
