Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 egg
¼ cup of low fat cottage cheese
2 tbsp of whole wheat flour
Optional ingredients:
Generous sprinkle of cinnamon
1 pkg of splenda/equal
1 dash of vanilla
1/3 cup of blueberries (set 10 aside)
SF maple syrup
Light whipping cream

Directions: Mix all ingredients together except the 10 blueberries (if you are using them).  Bring a skillet to med-high heat with pam cooking spray on it.  Pour into hot skillet, flip once.  Makes 2 pancakes.  Add sf maple syrup and a squirt of light rhedi whip if you like, also top with the 10 blueberries you put aside.  If you just want plain pancakes, make it with the first 3 ingredients only.  Enjoy!

Nurtritonal Info: Cals – 160, Fat 6, Carbs 12, Protein 15
(this is for the egg, cottage cheese and flour, if you add syrup, blueberries or whipping cream you would need to add those additional stats).  Using 1 serving of egg beaters instead of an egg would reduce the fat content and calories significantly (Cals 117, Fat 1, Carbs 12, Protein 15).

 1 egg
1/4 fat free cottage cheese
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
1/2 pkt Splenda 
Dash of vanilla and cinnamon

I mixed 'em in Tha Bullet, sprayed the pan, made two 6 inch pancakes, tossed in a couple blueberries, flipped 'em once---topped with Walden Farms Sugar Free Syrup (0 calories-0 carbs-made with Splenda and none of the creepier sugar alcohols!) and ohmyjeebis they were really really good!

I'm not prepared to post about depression and WLS, but anyone wanting to comment would be welcome.  I do not suffer from depression now, but I find it concerning that depression could develope after surgery.  Link above is to the article I just read. 

This information was in a post today and I thought it was great.  I'm going to follow this when I have my surgery.

Take an iron supplement (separate) with Vit. C in the AM,  Don't drink any caffeine for at least an hour.

Take your multis and B-12 (and a B complex mid day).
    Get a multi without iron.
    Take your Biotin with these.

Take Calcium Citrite with another C (and a Magnesium Oxide if you have a POO problem).  Get a Calcium that has VIt. D. (I think Citrical has these).

I'm weeks away from scheduling my weight loss surgery and am excited and nervous.  I've spent a lot of time soul searching my obesity disease and am certain this is the answer.
