Well, I don't know of any Giant grocery store here in So. Cal., but what is the nutritional information? What size is a serving, how many calories per serving, how much fat, how much carbs, how much Protein?

My wife gets a sugar free lemon loaf from our local market, and she thinks it is great. But when we look at the nutritional information, it might be sugar free but it is still loaded with calories, fat, and carbs. She hates it when I say it, but sugar free doesn't mean low calorie and healthy.

Yeah, I know I am a killjoy. Sorry.

BTW, for thanksgiving dessert I am making a crustless pumpkin ricotta bake (http://theworldaccor...cotta-bake.html). Serving Size: 1/2 cup, 137 calories, 5g carbs (1g sugar, 1g fiber), 9g fat, 9g Protein.< /p>

@@toasty I don't think you're a killjoy at all! Here's my own pumpkin pie recipe and it is oh so tasty, especially for only 77 calories and 9g of protein!!! ^_^

Crustless Protein Pumpkin Pie

1 - 15 oz can pumpkin (not pie filling)
½ cup egg whites
1½ cups Premier Protein vanilla shake
¾ cup Splenda
½ tsp salt
2 Tbs pumpkin pie spice

Preheat oven 400°. Beat all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Pour in pie pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, then turn down to 375° and bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. You can also pour into 16 (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) cupcake tins. I like using silicone inserts.

It is best served cold and can even be frozen. Serving size is 3 minis or 1/6 slice of pie. Sometimes I'll top a slice with Greek yogurt (pic) but Nutrition info is for pie only.

@@shelleylester I am so sorry. I reread my post, and I think I was out of line. Absolutely having a piece of pie every once in a while is great, especially when you have been so successful in your weight loss. And finding one that is sugar free is awesome. Please accept my apologies for sounding so self righteous in my post.

      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.
