Kevin at three weeks post of , I would think that you should be on full liquids, or soft foods. Definetly not pancakes. Do you have dietician , to consult on this? Have you checked with your Doctor for an eating plan. At this point you should be eating for healing and protein. Good luck, Carin

Spray "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" and sugar free syrup. I've even got my kids doing it now. BTW, BTC's post-op binder has a recipe for pureed French toast. Buy the prepared stuff...the egg gives it a protein boost. Throw it in the blender with the pseudobutter and syrup and give a whirl. Bon Appetit!

Yes! Of course... but look for the <b>High Protein</b> ones. I get mine on <a href="http://www.carbsmart.com">Carb Smart.com</a>. They have 22g's protein & 3 g's carbs per serving. I use butter (DS) and sugar free syrup. Enjoy!

I guess it depends on your surgery, Kevin. I had a serious craving 10 days post op Duodenal Switch and went to a Bob Evan's where I had a pancake with a fried egg, "over easy" on top. I used a touch of syrup and man-o-man was that ever tasty! But, if you still need to be on liquids or pureed foods then follow the advice of the people with the RNY type surgery. Fondly,

I ate regular blueberry pancakes. However, I was only able to eat about 1/2 cup size. I used sugar free syrup sweetened with Splenda. It was good but very filling! I bought the syrup at a regular grocery store.
