Woke up late today and only then realized I was out of my protein drink (thought I had one left). Had one of those days where nothing sat well with me, just a grouchy pouch kind of day. Then at dinner not paying attention took too big of bites and too fast. Well I finally found out what the faomies are (Disgusting and uncomfortable, and now even further behind on the protein). I have really been feeling great and my pouch decided to remind me in a very uncomfortable way to take it slow and easy!!!

 

Found these posted on the RNY board from Litha and can't wait to try them. Sound like they are quick, filling, and nutritious. Hope they taste as good as they sound.

One Minute Muffins

1/4 cup flaxmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Splenda I only have packets, I use one or two depending on my mood
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1 teaspoon melted butter  I use 1/2 tsp olive oil

Mix dry ingredients in a large coffee cup. Add egg and butter and mix well. Microwave for 50 to 60 seconds. Muffin will pop right out of the cup (it really does!). Slice and butter or spread cream cheese. I find it is tasty just as it is without any spread

Cals 178

Carbs 5.8g

(most information out there says fiber grams can be subtracted from the carb grams)

 

One Minute Molten Chocolate Flax Muffin

2 tsps butter or coconut oil
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbl cocoa powder (I use Wonderslim Wondercocoa-not bitter don't have to add vanilla extract)
1 egg
Sweetening of choice such as 1 tbl of sf syrup of choice (my favorite is sf chocolate macadamia nut) or 1-2 pkts of Splenda or Stevia
1 square of Lindt 85% Dark Chocolate

Melt the 1-2 tsps of butter or CO in a large oversize mug in the microwave-usually about 20 seconds. Add the 1/4 cup flaxseed meal, 1/2 tsp baking powder & 1 tbl cocoa powder and mix well. Add the egg and sweetener and mix again. Float the 1 square of the dark chocolate in the middle of the batter. Nuke for about 1 minute-the top should look slightly wet and not be dried out. Turn out onto serving plate and wash mug right away as the flax can be hard to remove if it dries in the mug. Enjoy with a schmear of cream cheese or whipped cream.

 

 

 

a word of caution, be sure to drink lots of water before and after, and you will find it quite the "moving" experience... If not, it can be constipating.

add berries, non sweetened coconut and chopped nuts to batter, very filling.  Use fat free yogurt instead of butter.  Use no butter/oil at all.  Use sugar free coffee creamer instead of butter.

 use 1 TBS almond flour and 3 TBS ground flax. You could use any proportion- flax has so much good stuff and fiber, practically zeroes out the carbs.

For savory muffins/bread, you could add herbs, reconstituted dried onion flakes, cheese, etc. For a few more carbs, you could add pieces of sun/oven dried tomatoes.

 

 

 

OneMinuteMuffin

1 tbl coconut oil or butter
1/4 c flaxmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 pkt Splenda or can use sf syrup in favorite flavor to taste

Melt the co or butter in a larger oversize coffee mug. Add rest of ingredients and mix well. I don't use the Splenda to save carbs and sweeten with sf syrup to my taste. Nuke for 1 minute and immediately turn out of mug. The top should still look a little shiny and not be too dry looking-if it's too dry adjust time by nuking less. Clean (or soak) your mug right away as the flax will harden up pretty quickly. Serve hot or cold w/butter or cream cheese. I also like to add 1 tbl of cocoa powder for a chocolate muffin or pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to change up the flavor.

substitute almond meal for the flax. A few less carbs, and they taste better

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!

You could also mix FF or low fat ricotta cheese with Splenda and cinnamon or add a tbsp of pumpkin (canned not pumpkin pie filling) and mix it with the ricotta or pudding with protein powder added in it.  I also ate Wal-Mart’s SF maple/brown sugar oatmeal with vanilla protein powder mixed in."

 

Awsome this meat crust pizza is identical to regular pizza except for the crust. Top the pizza with high protein foods for extra nutritional kick :)

Crust Ingredients:
2 cups raw extra lean ground beef
4 whipped eggs
1 cup fiber one cereal (crush it in the blender/MB after measuring)

Mix this to a paste consistency and pat tightly into a 15 x 10" baking pan. The crust should be very thin. Pat it as tightly as you can to keep it from shrinking in the oven, if you use less than extra lean ground it will likely shrink some. Bake this in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until brown. Take out and top pizza style, mexican style or donair style. Bake again (or broil) for 10 minutes, or until toppings are to your liking :)

Hijacked from PK's site. Good to remember.....

IDEAL MEAL PROCESS (rules of the pouch):
1. The patient must time meals five hours apart or the patient will get too hungry in between.
2. The patient needs to eat finely cut meat and raw or slightly cooked veggies with each meal.
3. The patient must eat the entire meal in 5-15 minutes. A 30-45 minute meal will cause failure.
4. No liquids for 1 ½ hours to 2 hours after each meal.
5. After 1 ½ to 2 hours, begin sipping water and over the next three hours slowly increase water intake.
6. 3 hours after last meal, begin drinking LOTS of water/fluids.
7. 15 minutes before the next meal, drink as much as possible as fast as possible. This is called "water loading," IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS, THIS 'WATER LOADING' WILL NOT WORK.
8. You can water load at any time 2-3 hours before your next meal if you get hungry, which will cause a strong feeling of fullness.

THREE PRINCIPLES FOR GAINING AND MAINTAINING SATIETY:
1. Fill pouch full quickly at each meal
2. Stay full by slowing the emptying of the pouch. (Eat solids. No liquids 15 minutes before, and none until 1 ½ hours after the meal). A scientific test showed that a meal of egg/toast/milk had almost all emptied out of the pouch after 45 minutes. Without milk, just egg and toast, more than ½ of the meal still remained in the pouch after 1 ½ hours.
3. Protein, protein, protein. Three meals a day. No high calorie liquids.

FLUID LOADING:
Fluid loading is drinking water/liquids as quickly as possible to fill the pouch which provides the feeling of fullness for about 15 to 25 minutes. The patient needs to gulp about 80% of his/her maximum amount of liquid in 15 to 30 SECONDS. Then just take swallows until fullness is reached. The patient will quickly learn his/her maximum tolerance, which is usually between 8-12 oz.

Fluid loading works because the roux limb of the intestine swells up, contracting and backing up any future food to come into the pouch. The pouch is very sensitive to this and the feeling of fullness will last much longer than the reality of how long the pouch was actually full. Fluid load before each meal to prevent thirst after the meal, as well as to create that feeling of fullness whenever suddenly hungry before meal time.
