**Inspired by this recipe here http://civilizedcavemancooking.com/grain-free-goodies/paleo- banana-bread/, but I've modified the ingredients and cooking method as I used what I had at home and I couldn't be bothered to switch on the oven, so I cooked it by filling half a cup (it'll rise lots!!) and gave it 50 seconds in 1,000 watt microwave.

2 bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons melted butter (I put mine in the mixing bowl and heated the whole bowl in the microwave to melt it!!)
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (coulda done a whole scoop, but I was experimenting)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

ETA this made 4 mug cakes and I ate two which I found extremely filling for my nearly 3 year old sleeve!! ;-D

Paleo banana bread-- brilliant!  Real banana? How much, or how many carbs per mug? Maybe I shouldn't ask. Oops!

Probably less than 15g carbs per mug.  1 mug would get its carbs mostly from 1/2 a medium banana.

This sounds wonderful.  I'm going to try this. 

Now days I cannot eat bananas like I used to.  Now half the bunch starts to brown quickly before I can eat them.  So I put them in the freezer - in peel.  Just freeze the whole thing.  Then I pull them out when I want to bake, make a shake, make ice cream out of them, etc.  I will have to pull a couple out for this recipe.

Alright I'm going to finally try to jump in here with you guys.

Here's my plan...

BITES:
I'm going to attempt 30-40 grams of protein. Had half of a protein drink so far (10) and will try to finish that soon. Then at least another protein pack (15) if I can. I'm so tired of all the tastes already.

I have about 24oz of fluid in and want to reach 40oz today. (Had 35 yesterday)

VITES:
I'm trying to take a pill every hour or two. So far I've taken the following

omeprazol - Doc said to take it until they say to stop.

ADEK- once (working up to 3x a day- plan to take at least one more)

Iron-done

vitamin D - 2,000IU (1 pill going to try to get at least 6,000IU)

They never really told me how much to take post-op. I'll ask on my two week visit. I was taking 10,000 IU of D 3x a day pre-op to get my levels up fast.

 

EXERCITES:
walking

Sounds like a good plan for early out. The fluids in your protein shake count towards your total daily fluids, so they can be counted towards fluids and protein. 

That makes me feel a little better to hear from a vet because my surgeon told me not to count it. I feel less worried about dehydration with my 35 non protein ounces now that you said that. I'll still keep working at the non protein oz but with a little less worry.
