The Veggie Chili from Boca is Delicious! super soft but flavorful! Its a good brand as well as the Garden burger brand Trader Joes has a good variety as well as whole foods if those are close to you.

I Support your Decision! (if that helps any ) I know that the liquids suck, maybe you can try and add some different varieties or even freeze some tea and chew that? Keep up the good work! You'll be a Hot Mama soon enough and you won't even remember how tough it was! Good Luck! I know you can do it!

Keep it up! You'll see the results of your hard work and you'll be so proud! ! You can do it!

So today i had to restructure my chicken coop! Moved the house around, swept up the food crumbs on the floor and cleaned the surrounding area of debris Had i thought that I was going to do this earlier, i would have held off on my shower. But now I'm sweaty, muddy and covered in feather, brush and bugs! Ha! All well, good work out and i still managed to multitask and play with the puppies! I also woke up to take the second part of my psychological testing. Lost of questions that don't really pertain to me ( i.e. all of the substance abuse questions... don't use drugs, legal or not) The Testing apparently has three parts to it, which i didnt know, i really thought that it was just the first appointment. I'm confident though, I know i'm not that crazy! My Netflix arrived with a surprise! Sarah Palin's Alaska! I love reality TV shows like this, Clean, fun, exciting, no "hanky panky" so i can watch it with my dad! While i don't hunt, i liked the fact that she does it to feed her family, not for the sport aspect of it. I'm not saying that i agree/disagree with her politically, but she seems like a genuinely nice person. Good Show, i recommend it. Makes me want to visit Alaska! LapBand wise, Does anyone have a protein powder that they recommend? Right now i'm taking the target brand powder. $18 for lbs of Vanilla with 25g of protein. Taste wise its decent! I like it with orange juice or soy milk. Is it OK to order some from Amazon?? Any good?

I think it's good for your heart as well. It Raises Good Cholesterol Thins the Blood Helps prevent cancer and encourages your body to burn extra calories for 90 mins after you drink it! Yummers!

I am sore all over! I had farm work at school today (yes, even over the summer months) and i was in the pen with the sheep, and the one male is a but-faced-miscreant! He rammed me with his head, into the gate then jumped up on me and scratched my back! sadness. Before that i had a breakfast with my family. We went to this little Salvadorian restaurant by our house. Now, my whole family is to some degree fit, and in their normal bmi's except for me. I'm the fat sheep in the family. Well, myself and an older cousin. Everyone else is a full fat eater and maintains their shape rather well. Sucks for us! Anyways, while Salvi food is delicious, its also super heavy on the fat and greasy. I tried to stick to plantains and beans, but the tortillas were hand made and fluffy and yummy! i admit that i had two. It was making me wonder how everyone else deals with eating out? With friends, it seams like they understand more, and don't criticize your choices, yet when i'm out with my family, they all nit-pick about what i order, telling me what i should eat, while they don't exactly set a positive example. (*sigh*) Its hard to make good choices when everyone else is making bad ones. While i'm not banded yet, i'm trying to lose 10% of my body weight, about 27 lbs I read a long time ago that doing so would help me bounce back faster after a surgery or injury! I hope it helps, but either way it can't hurt! One good and easy way of doing this is by training and chasing the new puppy i got for my grandma (she lives with us and was so lonley, so its been a great thing for her!) We've been trying to learn how to play ball, so not only do i throw the ball, i run for it bring it back to the starting position, then praise the puppy for doing a good job! All of my other dogs get into the game, so if i'm not chasing the ball, i'm chasing them to get the ball back! ha! Its all fun and with summer starting i'm going to start jogging again at the beach! I better take advantage of the mellow weather and get conditioned before full summer hits!

<br><br>Thanks! <div><br></div>

This is a bit late, but the Aveno brand has an oat based lotion that works soooo well! I cools and clears up the rash in no time! Hope this helps.

Watch your sodium intake! My doc told me this was a huge thing with me so use substitutes! like plain air popped popcorn with lemon juice and garlic powder or chili powder blend a banana or fruit with your shake or into your mocha Protein shake. try to make your own Soups at home you can freeze them in portions then microwave them when you're ready. The canned Soup tends to taste bad, and they have a lot of chemicals in them. allrecipes.com has a ton of yummy and easy recipes you can specify what you want! Iced tea is also very yummy Target and walmart carry a sugar free peach tea that is Delicious! Its a nice break from water! Hope this helps!

One of my friends limits herself to a shot glass full of whatever, That way she doesn't over drink, or drink to many empty calories Its an easy way to keep your drink portions under control! Hope this helps.

you all look amazing! What hotties!

So yesterday was a rather tough day for me. I had a doctor appointment at 2:15, but the office kept getting pushed back. a local freeway had been shut down, so everything was backed up. I wouldn't have minded waiting, but i was fasting so that could do the ultra sound of my heart, lungs and liver. Needless to say, it sucked. I was finally seen at 4:30 for a test that took no more than 20 mins. So Fasting since the night before until about 6pm the next day. no food, no liquids. The test was rather interesting. What cracked me up was that all of these women would go into the office, and come back out slightly askew. And the Dr. doing the test was just acting like business as normal. Idk Thought it was funny. When it was my turn, i had to show my goods in a professional sense. FYI: paper gowns are not my friends. Test went great. Result were good! Not 5 mins after test, i was at Starbucks ordering an ice coffee and a banana! Never tasted anything so good in my life! The paper work will be sent to my insurance for approval next month after all of the paper work is complete. Please pray that it goes through quickly!
