Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find some low carb recipes for holiday parties. I'm specifically looking for a low carb brownie recipe. I've found several online but I'm just wondering if anyone has their own recommendations from ones they have tried. Many of them require very specific ingredients I would have to pay a lot for at a specialty store and I don't want to waste my money.

I am going to be making things for non-ops but I want something I can enjoy as well. I figure the more dishes I bring to a party the more options I have to eat! lol I don't like being limited!

Also, anyone know of direct substitutions for baking to cut out carbs? I'm wondering if I could just use Atkins baking mix, carbquick, almond meal, etc in a recipe for a normal dessert.

So, what has worked for you and your holiday sweet tooth?

I got the weight loss surgery for dummies cookbook, and tried the banana muffin recipe. I thought they were tasty, so I brought them into work and they were popular with my co-workers!

I would try two things. Google melissa d'arabians black bean brownies. .. added Protein is always good and they are actually delicious!

Second the grocery store, usually by the organic or gluten free etc specialty items. Is No Pudge brownie mix. You just mix the box of powder with plain yogurt.... also very yummy!

I've made black bean brownies before and they were good. No one could tell it was just a can of black Beans and a brownie mix.

      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.
