I put some frozen in a little container in the frig before I go to bed and if I get "proteiny" the next day (usually around 4:00 p.m.) I have the shrimp with cocktail sauce. I make the sauce by mixing low carb ketchup with horseradish. I make my own greek style yogurt and mix that with a flavored stevia and a couple of tbsps. of BareNaked granola or homecanned no added sugar fruit. In the morning, I freeze about a 1/2 c. of the yogurt with frozen strawberries, blueberries, etc. Then when my DH is pigging out of his NA sugar ice cream with sugar alcohols, I add a little banana and a drizzle of SF carmel ice cream topping and that's a banana split for me. I also nosh on Atkins bars. Be careful because the ones that I use are low in sugar, high in fiber, no sugar alcohol and low in carbs and there are some that are not. I too make my own hummus with tahini paste, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and paparika. Eat this with pork rinds or veggies. I also eat lemon-pepper tuna in the foil pack. I also make all kinds of bites that I get from eggfaces blog; my favorites are the swiss-bacon bites. KO has a good mini meatloaf recipe. I also make many SF cheesecakes. How many carbs does the Quaker "Weight Control" oatmeal have? I get an oatmeal that is made by Muscle Milk and it is pretty good mixed with yogurt.
I think it is a little high in carbs

But it is a once in a while treat for me as I dont eat it often, I save it for those times after working out in the winter where I am freezing cold and want a sweet snack. I add a sugarfree oatmeal pack to it and sometimes chop up apples in it.
I know there are going to be a lot of things I can't eat that I love once i have the surgery, at least for quite a while and then in moderation only and yeah that is hard to deal with, especially the idea of giving up eating as much fruit as I do for a while, I love apples and eat a banana after each work out.
I guess I will learn more about it as I go.
