One tip to keep your shakes cold. I have these ice cubes that are basically plastic and u freeze them they keep drinks cold after 2-3 hours being out the fridge and they dont water down your drinks. I got mine at Rite Aid pharmacy but I think they also have them at Wal Mart too

These are sooo good, only .5g carbs and 3g Protein per serving! Tip: I usually only put them in the micro. for 35 sec tho, its trial and error Crispy cheese Crackers Ingredients: Deluxe American cheese slices (not cheese food or cheese product) Directions: Cut one square of cheese into 16 tiny squares. Arrange on a sheet of parchment paper in somewhat of a ring around the edges of the paper. Don't place the cheese squares too close together or they'll stick to each other. Don't place any in the center of the paper or they will burn before the outer squares are done. Carefully place the sheet of parchment on the tray of a microwave oven. Microwave on HIGH about 65 seconds, or until the crackers are well-browned, but not burnt. Watch closely and add more time if needed. Remove the parchment from microwave and let the crackers cool slightly before removing them from the paper. Peel them off the paper and store in an airtight container. Repeat this process one cheese slice at a time. These will keep quite well in an air-tight container at room temperature for several days or longer. Each slice of cheese makes 16 crackers Can be frozen Per Serving (16 crackers): 106 Calories; 9g Fat; 6g Protein; .5g Carbohydrate; 0g Fiber; .5g Net Carbs

Right after surgery I like the low calorie gatorades they went down pretty well, my surgeon said anything that helped me get water in was good

I had surgery 3-1 and my doc/nutritionist have me at 800-1000 calories a day. Most days I can barely get in 600 calories but I try and make sure I do the 60g protein daily even if it takes me 3 hrs to drink those stupid shakes. It's normal to stall tho I'm about 3 months out and I've stalled about 3 times. Sometimes for 3-4 weeks at a time. Just keep doing the proteins, vitamins/meds they give u, and a lil bit of exercise or moving around. U will get out of ur stall soon.

Mmmm that doesn't sound gross that sounds yummy. Better spread than mayo. How do you make it on ur own? Usually I buy sabra but I feel like everything I buy nowadays goes to waste.

Anybody else hesitant to eat fruit because of the carb and sugar content? Sometimes I want to but I feel so bad to have carbs/sugar. :/

I usually have 4 oz or so of v8 fusion whenever I have a fruit craving. It has a veggies and fruit in it so a lil more nutritious than just plain juice but it's also really good.

How do u make it into a slushie? When I mix protein in the blender it just gets frothy.

I love propel. I also like the Lipton diet citrus green tea. I use Hawaiian punch flavor packets I get them from the dollar store or the diet snapple packets they're awesome. Also for my Protein shakes they have yoohoo flavor packets too in strawberry. That adds some variety and they're all only 5 cal <5 a packet for all of them.

I know the first has eggs but maybe u haven't had them like this before The name of the game here is layering. Read on and see Spray an 8x8 square pan with Pam or any other nonstick spray, and pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour 1/4 of the egg whites (don't need to be exact here) and place one layer of canadian bacon at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle about 1/4 of the oats (so, 1/4 c.), and put this mixture in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and add another layer of egg whites, then 1/4 c. oats, then a layer of canadian bacon, then another 1/4 c. oats. Put this mixture in the oven for about 15 minutes, keeping an eye on it, and adding the next layer when this one is no longer liquidy, but not cooked all the way through. Remove the pan from the oven, add the rest of the oats, then the rest of the egg whites, then place a layer of canadian bacon on the top. Put it back in the oven until the top is firm, if you stick a fork in the middle it should come out clean (like a cake). The top will get a little brown. When it's done, cut it in four pieces. I re-heat these to take on the go by placing them in the oven at 350 on a piece of tin foil for about 15 minutes. When I'm ready to leave the house, I take it out of the oven, sprinkle a little sea salt on top, and wrap it up in the foil to take it to go! Another option for re-heating is to place a piece of cheddar cheese on top (or even in the middle, like a sandwich!). Yum! Number of Servings: 4 Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RACHEL_MAC. Directions Use the turkey as your shell and put the cheese inside along with the cream cheese. Fold it in half and stick on a hot fry pan, only a minute or so on each side as the cheese will melt quickly! Garnish with some salsa if desired!

I know right. Sometimes I wonder where they come up with these timelines.

I never knew about the dependency thing but I guess it makes sense. I'm 3 months post op and I've drank twice. Just one drink each. But I feel the urge or need to all the time and it's so hard for me to say no even when I go out with the intentions of not drinkin. My doc told me no alcohol for a year tho :/.

I'm almost 3 months post up. I mostly get all my protein in but I struggle with the 8 cups of water. I probably do about 4-6 cups daily not including my shakes. I take my acid reflux medicine daily. My throat has been sore for about 3 weeks now. It hurts to swallow and it just feels really tight. I went to my regular doc she basically did a strep test but everything came back fine. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips or suggestions anything at all to help. I'm desperate. Thank u.

I'm about 9 or 10 weeks out and my temp is 102. My throat kills so I think it's just a cold but is that any indication of a leak? I can barely get any liquids down its killing me but I'm trying. So should I be worried or call my doctor?
