When To Try Bread



Recommended Posts

I was mourning foods for a good month and a half. I am finally at the point where I don't feel miserable after watching a pizza commercial. I still miss it, but I know that I will get sick and I did this for a reason and I am not going to ruin all that I am doing. Yes, I am sick of the same things and I am not progressing as fast as others, but slow and steady wins the race!

When you're able, if you really (REALLY) want to eat some pizza, I found a recipe on Pinterest for a Pizza Crust made from flax seed meal...the carbs are cancelled out by the Fiber content (1 for 1), and there's as much Protein in it as carbs...and it tastes YUMMY!! Put a little sauce on, and a little cheese, and whatever else you want, and eat a piece....cuz that's probably all you'll be able to eat LOL. It really is quite good, very healthy, and a GREAT option for those of us wanting the pizza experience, without the carbs and fat associated with the "real thing".

Enjoy!

Here's the recipe I used. The thinner you're able to roll/press it out, the crispier it'll be when baked.

Enjoy!! :)

The key ingredient to making this crust low carb is flax seed meal.

What you will need:

  • 1 1/2 cup of flax seed meal
  • 2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1 tsp of oregano
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of Stevia or natural sweetener
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbs of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of Water

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Mix dry ingredients together.
  • Add wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Let the dough sit for about 5 minutes to thicken up.
  • Spread dough on a large round pan. If you don't have this you can line a cookie sheet with greased parchment paper (this is what I did).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Check it at the 15 minute mark and take out if it looks done.
  • Add toppings and place back into the oven to melt the cheese.

When I was allowed bread, it had to be toasted. otherwise it knots up and may get stuck. Although don't be so anxious to try it. I find that it fills you up too much and too fast. You need to concentrate on Protein first, then veggies, then starches if you have room, and if you are like me, you won't have room. I don't even want or eat bread anymore at all, and I too was anxious for that day. Don't even miss it.

      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.
