Blizzards of snow and no icecream!

Today is an official blizzard..it is made of snow and not of ICECREAM. :D

I woke up very early this morning, felt achy and like I had slept all wrong! Took a little liquid pain med slept a few more hours and walaa..I felt so much better!

I start my day with sips of H2O, I find that if I start my protein too early I burp way too much!

 

This is day 5 post op. My pain level is very low, seems to be just at the button site and no where else. My incision sites look really good, a few steri strips came off today too. TMI I'm sure.lol

 

I'm going to try and post a new recipe every day from my lap band "bible", they are SO good and a nice change..

 

Just tried an awesome one today..

 

Strawberry pie: In a blender add:

 

4 ounces fat free milk

6 ounces light yogurt * I used strawberry

1 graham cracker

1 scoop strawberry protein mix

 

Blend

This provided 26 grams of protein!

I will try and add a new one each day..I am now down to my pre surgical weight,plus a pound, so that feels good, I have an Ipod, added a free app that tracks my footsteps with music that I choose, so I go round and round to my faves!!

 

Happy snow day to you all!

Thank you for the recipe. I will copy them as you post. Is there a book I can purchase? My surgery was 12/6. I'm in Fl. Enjoy the snow.

:lol: No there is no book, this is my lapband 'bible' that my surgeon gives you when you start your process with their office. You and I share our date of our surgery!

You could use vanilla yogurt, add lime flavoring and have key lime pie too. I figure I might as well be creative and not lose interest like I've seen some do..

I want to be a winner with this!
