Thanksgiving



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I was banded on Oct 3 and I am feeling great. I am worried about Thanksgiving as I don't want to blow my diet. Does anyone have a sugar free pumpkin pie recipe? I could use a good cookbook. Does anyone know of a lapband cookbook? :clap2:

There is a great pumpkin mousse recipe that is getting me through the holidays. This time of year I crave pumpkin pie so much.

1 large pkg sugar free vanilla pudding

2 cups skim milk

1 cup pumpkin

1 cup fat free cool whip

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning

Mix pudding, pumpkin, and seasoning together. Once blended fold in the cool whip. Then let it chill. I like to seperate it into 1 cup portions & then when I am ready to eat one I crumple up 1 low fat graham cracker and add TBSP of whip cream.

I can't remember but I think it is about 175-195 calories/ serving including graham cracker, and it is so delicious.

Hope this helps!

<p>I just posted one similar to this. I use evaporated skimme4d milk instead of the regular milk. 1.5 weight watcher points per 1/2 cup serving.</p>

      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.
