So, I found a recipe on my surgeon's Facebook page for a flourless, sugarless,
chocolate cake that I was allowed to have. I decided to try and make it, and honestly, it's not that bad. So, here are the pictures.
This is the cake in batter form. I don't own a food processor, so I used my stand mixer on speed 10 to get an ok consistency. It's kind of like the cake has coconut in it... (Since the cake is made mainly from black beans, it's the shells of the beans that give it that consistency) It's also not super sweet. I used Splenda, and followed the recipe. I think next time I'm going to double the amount of Splenda that I used to see if that makes it at all sweeter.
All in all, the cake is NOT bad. And it totally satisfies my chocolate craving, which right now was getting bad. :/ I am looking up more bariatric-friendly recipes on Pinterest today, so, wait for more recipes. :)
I see the dietitian tomorrow for my one on one. I'm excited to meet with her to see how she thinks I'm doing. I just have to remember to bring my vitamins with me. I think I'm going to take pictures of my vitamins tonight in case I forget to grab them in the morning. :)
