Topic: ISO: Chocolate Cake In A Mug......
I've lost my copy of a recipe for a chocolate cake made in a mug. I think it called for Splenda and instant coffee was optional. Please post your favorite! Thanks christine (internetnut)

UGH...I'm sorry you are having so many issues. I know you've tried a lot of protein powders, but have you attempted MAX protein? EggFace uses it in all her recipes for protein shakes, etc. I must say I had a hard time finding a protein powder I could stomach and that one was the ticket.
Also, have you tried protein fruit drinks or protein jello? My surgeon had me on it before and after surgery and I still get it to supplement my food. Well I did before falling horribly off the wagon, but that's another story. It might be worth ordering a sampler to see what you can handle. I know the protein fruit drinks and protein jellos weren't too bad. The protein chicken broth was tolerable as well. If your surgeon doesn't have an online store, let me know and I can send you mine from Grand Health Partners. OR, maybe see if others here have websites they use that have these items.
You are your best advocate so keep pushing to find the answer that will get you better.
Please let us know how you're doing.
All the best,
Melinda

I love liver and fried onions..yummy!! I hated it when I was little..My brother and I would try and hide it under our mashed potatoes. lol Mon always saw it and made us eat at least 1/2 a slice. But, today i love it ..I don't like it as left overs but i could eat it until i got sick.. I never knew it had so much protein in it..Thinking I might make it at least 3 times a week from now on.. even it is just for me alone..Thanks for the infro...Lucky.

Topic: RE: lasagna
I would use eggfaces baked ricotta recipe and put slice eggplant or zucinni in it and it is sooooo good.. I would cook it up a little in a skillet before adding it so it would be cooked well..
Hope this helps out..

Jim,
I loved that recipe. I have been eating it everyday for a week now. I made some homemade spaghetti sauce with lean hamburger to add on top. I would highly recommend this recipe. It makes you feel human again. I'm 28 days post op RNY.

Will these work on pureed or have to wait for a later stage and if so which one? I think I may use peanut butter though.

I started my count at my pre-op weight (plus the 10 lbs I had to lose during those initial 3 months...they count too!!
but if you like beef liver, grill some up! 1 (8oz) slice contains 78g of protein.
I figured this one out myself (thanks to recent holistic medicine courses). I have always eaten liver and crave it when my iron is way down (I'm anemic)...but NO ONE mentioned it to me in this process, no matter how much I complained about getting my protein through food sources.
Anyway, be sure to not overcook it. It gets dry and very chewy. It should still have a little pink to it. Pan fried or broiled are best in my opion.
Flavor it with anything you like or make a pate' out of it for dipping or spreading on bread.
I know most people don't like it but it may be worth a new try for the amount of protein it carries.
I'm about 6 wks post-op and am eating 1 slice a day. I have a piece of a the slice where I should be drinking protein shakes. I think the liver tastes better LOL

a couple of things, 1. the yogurt has milk in it, post op most people are lactose intolerant.. BAD thing to eat and the symptoms you are having sound exactly like reactions to the milk product
2. you also sound like you might have a stricture... have you had them do an endoscopy? i also had all those things post op and was loosing 16+ lbs a week right off, couldnt eat, pain, vomiting nausea etc, they fixed that and poof the next day (literally) i was better, even if they dont think its that it might help to have them take a look and see whats going on
3. your tastes change big time post op, so i would put a lot of the taste change on that...
as for sugars even like splenda making you dumb thats normal, i have other post-op friends who dump from things as simple as the sugar in baked beans, or crystal light... its very hard BUT that and the lactose intolerance can get better after a year or so (not always but often), i was lactose intolerant for about 5 months...
your stamina is shot becuase of surgery and because your body is going through hell withOUT all the complications... so the complications make it worse... i would suggest staying away from ANY dairy (cottage cheese, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt etc) you can make jello and puddings from mixes and put the powdered sugar IN the mix... that works really well (did that a lot post op), make sure its sugar free mixes of course... and at this point if those are part of the problem it will take some time for the body to heal its self so patience... i also had to do the prevacid (you should be taking the ones that dissolve on your tounge), carafate (nasty chalky crap) etc... it was 100% stricture...
good luck
