This recipe is one I used when I had a guest with a wheat allergy at the holidays. This would be great baked in single serving ramekin (sp?) and frozen for the time a dessert would hit the spot. I bet you could substitute ricotta cheese instead of the cream to up the Protein content. I also used 2 tbs pumpkin pie spice instead of what the recipe calls for. I hope this helps! http://www.food.com/recipe/crustless-low-carb-pumpkin-pie-104352

I'm asking for anyone here that has found any that fit low carb pre-op diets and are decent. I haven't found that many decent ones or I wouldn't have asked.

I am so going to to try Luvin_Life125's recipe with ricot instead of the ceam, and put it in muffin tins to help me with Portion Control and make freezable servings. Actually, in our house, ricotta gets thrown into a lot of things. I will look through my cook-books and see what else I can find that is modifiable. pumpkin is one of my favorites, too. Oh, and cranberries. Last fall, my boyfriend made a cranberry relish with modifications for me. It also invoved Splenda, but since then I have switched to Monkfruit sweetener.

Haven't had the surgery yet, so I don't know what your recipe requirements are, but I saw a recipe today on www.myrecipes.com for a pumpkin sage polenta (or grits for those of us down south!) that sounded wonderful.

pumpkin chia pudding

Soak chia seeds in almond milk overnight or as long as possible for I stand gratification. Mix with pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon,nutmeg) maple Syrup and enjoy!

It doesn't pound like much but i promise, the longer you soak the seeds the better and it's addicting!!!

Interesting...I've never thought of pumpkin in a savory way before. Sounds like something to try for thanksgiving. I should put this on my to-do. Thanks

I buy the canned pumpkin puree and mix it in my greek yogurt with splenda and a little cinnamon. Yum! I also make a yogurt smoothie using the same ingredients and enough Water to thin to taste.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
