Sugar free deserts and heart healthy



Recommended Posts

Haven't had the surgery yet myself but there are many Keto recipes floating around that you can try that MAY work for us after surgery (as they are usually sugar free). Here are some of the ones I use periodically. As you can see they are sorta similar.

Various Versions of Whips/Mousse Desserts

1 tub sugar free cool whip
1 block softened cream cheese
1/4 cup Swerve

Mix with mixer until fluffy and store in fridge (scoop what you want, when you want). Can add in Lily's Sugar Free Chocolate chips (in various flavors), berries, sugar free syrups, etc.


1 block softened cream cheese
1 box any flavor sugar free jello
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Mix with mixer until fluffy. Scoop into small balls with scooper or use hands. Lay balls on parchment paper and put in fridge or freezer for a few hours. I store leftovers in and airtight container in the freezer.


1 package of sugar free pudding mix any flavor
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Mix with hand mixer until fluffy. Top with sugar free chocolate chips, sugar free syrups, or berries.

Since these call for Sugar Free Pudding mixes there are soooooo many flavor variations you can come up with.

Peanut Butter Balls

8 oz softened cream cheese
4 oz creamy NATURAL Peanut Butter (ingredients should list nuts and salt only)
4 Tbsp Swerve
1/2 cups crushed dark chocolate chips, optional

Mix together room temperature PB, cream cheese and sweetener. Stir until well mixed and smooth. Scoop into small balls or use your hands. Roll into crushed chocolate chips, optional. Arrange on parchment paper lined pan and put into freezer for 2 hours. Enjoy. Store remaining balls in airtight container and store in freezer.

Sugar free whipped cream and some berries would be a good treat too.

There are lots of recipe websites out there too dedicated to those who have had the surgery.

Recently I also whipped up some Plain Greek Yogurt (about a cup) with a few tablespoons of Natural Peanut Butter (2-4 tbsp....just nuts and salt as ingredients), some cinnamon, and a little honey and made a "dip" for my apples. It's sooooo good! I also imagine you could eat the "dip" as is too.

Looks like this may work for a treat too.................

Low Carb Protein Cheesecake

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 2
Calories 165kcal


Ingredients

8.5 oz. low fat cottage cheese
2 egg whites
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp. Stevia
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 serving sugar-free strawberry Jell-O
Water

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C).
Prepare the Jell-O according to the instructions on the package and place in freezer.
Blend cottage cheese and egg whites until the consistency is smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and whisk it together with the Protein Powder, Stevia, and vanilla extract.
Transfer the batter into a small nonstick pan and bake for 25 minutes.
Turn off the oven, but leave the cake in it while it cools down. Once the oven has cooled, remove the cheesecake.
When the Jell-O is almost set (you should just be able to stir it), pour it over the cheesecake.
Let the cake set in the fridge for about 10-12 hours minimum before enjoying.

Notes
This recipe is for 2 servings of cheesecake. Each serving is half of the cake.
The cake needs to be refrigerated for at least 10 hours to set, so it should be made the day before you plan to serve it. Make sure to use a protein powder with good vanilla flavor that holds up well in baking.
You can change up the flavor of the topping by using different types of Jell-O.
The egg whites need to be thoroughly whipped to ensure the cake has some height. For a taller cake, use a smaller pan or double the recipe. This cheesecake can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
