Pancakes
What does your meal plan from your doc or dietician say? Once you are on a regular diet, you can have them if you want to and if you tolerate them OK. I have had one pancake on a couple occasions with sugar free syrup. More than one would be too much for my pouch. Things like that feel very heavy to me.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
I wanted a pancake too, at about 6 months out so I made one and I was really sorry I ate it. It was so filling and it made me feel like crap for about an hour or 2. I would avoid them, or just take 2 bites to relieve the crazing. Go to IHOP with the family and have one of them get some and just take one bite. Trust me any more and you might regret it.
Even at over 4 years post-op, a single small pancake completely fills me up, and since even if they are made with some protein powder, they are mostly carbs, they ally aren't a very good food choice. Perhaps if you just had one or two small bites...

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
If you find that recipe will you message it to me please? That sounds like something I would like. I admit that I made some french toast with that Protein bread, can't think of the name of it, but I won a case of it on Melting Mama's site and used 2 slices and froze the rest and can't remember to take it out of the freezer to have again.
