wondering about some foods

Hi I was wondering I love custard and I know Jello makes one but it is not SF matterof fact it has 17 gms of sugar in 1/4c so no not one for me, so I was wondering if anyone knew on one that is SF? I figured with all the eggs(protein) it would go down good after my surgery. I have on hand some protein drinks, slimfast low sugar low carb, NSA fruit and broths and creamed soups, and of course cottage cheese so does anyone else have any suggetions on some good foods post-op. I will be on stage 2 for 2 wks till I get my 2 wk check up. Thanks

I only found this maple on on the recipe forum, but I bet eggface has one on her blog?

Maple Pumpkin Custard

Vegetable cooking spray
One 15-ounce can 100% pure pumpkin puree
1/2 cup Splenda Granular
1/4 cup Joseph’s sugar free maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup skim evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate or other casserole with the cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl combine the pumpkin puree, Splenda Granular, sugar free maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, eggs, milk, and vanilla.  Pour into prepared dish and bake for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.   Serve warm, or cold with Maple Whipped Cream.  Makes 8 servings.

 MAPLE WHIPPED CREAM

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Joseph’s sugar free maple syrup

In a medium bowl whip the cream and maple syrup until soft peaks form.

Per Serving (includes 2 tablespoons whipped cream): Calories 114; Protein 4 g; Fat 8 g; Carbs 5 g; Sugar 2 g; Sodium 209 mg

Fat Free refired beans and cheese are really good also during this time. Ask your doc about chili also. If you chew really well some will allow this. 
Good Luck,

The sf pudding by jello are good.  I have also found a sf mousse at my local specialty grocery store; they have an aisle specificallly for diabetics... I check it out all the time.  Some stuff is really good.... however I recently tried the sugar free caramel sauce, (thought it would be good with an apple), but it was awful!!!  I was also really into "laughing cow cheese"  its soft, but has a really nice flavor, and was nice to put on a few saltines. 

Good luck

I am on this diet, hopefully today I will get the go ahead to add more food.  I made egg beaters and then I melted muenster cheese on it.  Really good.  Also cheese sticks, very high in protein and filling.  I have even had soup I made and really chewed everything up and no problems.  Good luck!

Take a peek at my profile for a recipe for SF custard.  I love the stuff!  Also check out the Ricotta Fluff Stuff, another favorite on a new post op tummy.

For the cottage cheese, add a package of SF jello and some cool whip for a Thelma Salad.  The original version of this calls for pineapple, but I don't think your pouch will be ready for that just yet.
