    Found an awsome recipe. I was missing having pancakes because of the carbs. I've been doing some searching and found this one.

    Cream Cheese Pancakes

    2 oz cream cheese
    2 eggs
    1 packet stevia (or any) sweetener
    1/2 tsp cinnamon

    Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet. Blend until smooth. Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle. Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray. Cook approximately 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries (optional)

    Approx nutrition info per batch: 344 calories, 29 g fat, 2.5 g net carbs, 17 g protein.

    Note: if you prefer a lower amount of fat, you can use reduced fat, or fat free cream cheese.

    no recipes? A low carb/high protein diet is probably the most common on here. It is also similar to paleo eating. I would check out the following websites:

    www.kalynskitchen.com
    www.slowcarbfoodie.com
    www.marksdailyapple.com

    also check out www.skinnytaste.com a lot of her recipes can be modified to be low carb.

    if you google low carb recipes you will 100 food blogs

    I too am a bariatric patient. 9 years out. I have found that using MFP works great. I keep my calorie count at 1500. At the end of the day I am always over on my protein and under on carbs. I just try to eat a healthy diet. I usually have an egg sandwich with cheese on a whole wheat sandwich thin for breakfast. I have been eating this for almost a year. I enjoy it and stays with me. Usually a lean cuisine for lunch. They are small so I can handle them. Yogurt/fruit for snacks if needed. Dinner will vary but I try to avoid the carbs. As you can see, I do nothing special, just watch what I eat like everyone else. Of course I seem to stray a lot lately (last few years), the reason I am here.

    You couldn't find anything? There are so many good sites out there!
    My personal favorites are these:
    http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/lowcarb-recipes.html
    http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/recipereview/
    http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/recipes/u/lowcarbrecipes.htm


    The most challenging part of this lifestyle change is getting used to cooking. Most of your meals will absolutely have to be prepared by you, so you can know exactly what is in them and have this way of living be effective. It's not easy, but you can do this and if you stick with it, not only will you feel better, lose weight and get healthier, you will also have a sweet *kitten* repertoire of delicious things you can cook! Also, if you want the nutritional breakdown of foods that you already eat and are planning to include in your diet (and can't find them here on MFP) check out this site too! You can put in all the ingredients and get a nutritional breakdown of calories, fat, carbs, etc.

    You aren't looking too hard. Google "low carb diets" or "Primal" or "Paleo"

    Or better yet enter those on Amazon and buy the cookbooks that appear. The internets are truly magical.
