SleeveDreamer

I bought 2 boxes of the Dr. Kracker Pumpkin Seed Crisps today while at Whole Foods. They are crunchy and taste OK, but really don't have alot of taste to me. But they are OK and tomorrow I will try them with some Laughing Cow. I ate two in the car on the way home since I didn't have lunch yet, so i didn't have anything to put on them. They were pricy though; 4.99 a box at Whole Foods. I personally think that store is a ripoff. I don't go there much, but I jsu happened to be near there today. See my post titled No Carb Bread Julian Bakery for my other experience today!

A friend of mine had posted something on FaceBook about carb free cinnamon bread from Julian Bakery. I searched on Google, and they had it at Whole Foods. So while I was up theat way today, I bought some. Must be refigerated. VERY expensive. $8.39 per loaf. ZERO carbs. They also had Sourdough for $10.00. I bought both since I figured it would last awhile in the firdge. The girl said as long as it was refrigerated it would last indefinitely. When I got home, I toasted a piece of the cinnamon. OMG! How grotesque! I buttered it too! I spit the entire bite in the trashcan, couldn't even swallow it. I also tried the sourdough which has 1 carb. It was just as bad. Couldn't swallow even the one bite. I wouldn't even feed this to the birds! Whole Foods will not take it back saying they cannot guarantee how their health foods taste. Neither one would really toast enough even on the higher setting. Please DO NOT waste you money on the garbage! I could have bought a new size SMALL top for $18.00! Live and learn. I really don't want bread anymore anyway, but I figured with no carbs, why not.

Never heard of them but let us know how they taste. Where can you get them?

Sounds good. I like Wasa lite rye crispbreads/ Where do you get the Dr. Kracker? they sound good.

Try Lundberg rice cakes. I eat them now instead of torilla chips. Thy are really good.

Used to have a migrane every night. Ever since my urgey haven't had one headache. I am 6 months out.

My doctor told me after the sleeve absolutely no ibruprofen or Nsaids or aspirin. Too much chance of stomach bleeding. Actually if you look on the Aleve bottle, there is a waring that says May Cause Stomach Bleeding. I suffered from migranes before my surgery and took 2 Excedrin Migraine pills every night. Since my surgery, I have not had one headache.

I like the Luna bars the best. they also have a mini size. They are more like a candy bar. I tried the Quest bars and the consistency gave me the creeps and they were just too sweet for me. Most of the protein bars I see, have WAY TOO MANY CARBS though!

I use MIO strawberry watermelon and drink it most of the day. FYI, WalMart sells their Great Value brand that is identical and is $2.79 for one.

That's awesome. You must feel so good about the new you!

I would agree that is is probably gall bladder. I would not continue to do weight training until I went and had a doctor check it. You may rupture something.

Congratulations. although I was not diabetic, I am now off my meds as well. Isn't the sleeve great?

Wow that is a great weight loss. Congratulations and keep it up!

I myself have never heard of this. Your stomach needs time to heal and to prevent leaks, I would think your doctor would want you on clear liquid for atleast a week! That's what my doctor ordered anyway!

I never could stand the powdered ones, so I always drink the rtd ones!

Lissa, where? I luv to eat refried beans.

You should also wait 1/2 hour before water after protein shakes. the reason being that if you drink water right away or with it, your body does not absorb the nutrients and the protein, same reason you should wait 30 minutes after eating anything to drink again.

That's fantastic for 3 months. Congrats!

Pickles in cottage cheese? Wow, I'll have to try that at lunch tomorrow. Love cottage cheese!

Yesterday at trader Joe's I saw a small package of Citterio genoa salame and provolone slices. Only 3 oz. for the entire package. There are 4 slices of each of the salami and the cheese. They are thicker slices and about the size of an old silver dollar. 210 calories total for the entire 8 slices, but I can only eat 4 of each at once, so only 105 calories for lunch. Would be great if you have to pack your lunch. Put mustard between the meat and the cheese and ate 2 Vlasic Dill Snack'umm's with it. Very tasty and now I will probably have that for lunch every other day. I think it was 1.99 for the package. I am normally not a salami person, but these are chewy and very tasty!

Eggs taste better to me now than before. I have one every morning for breakfast.

So sorry to hear of the complications but your weight loss is awesome. hope you hear good news from the MRI. Good luck.

I don't care for crystal light since my surgery cuz they taste too sweet for me now. I use the Mio flavoring for water and love it. Wal Mart sells the same thing under their Great value brand and they are about a dollar cheaper. I use the Strawberry Watermelon and love it. i have my husband hooked on the Orange Tangerine.

Starkist sandwich ready albacore tuna in the pouch. 3.5 oz. Doens't need refrigerated until opened. My faborite lunch i eat it everyday.Costco sells the small 1.5 oz. individual bags of really good beef jerky, and also Trader Joes sells the nuts and fruit trail mix in little individual bags. Also cheese sticks, babybel cheese, if you drink one or two rtd protein drinks a day that also takes away hunger. Luna makes small protein bars that are really good and taste just like a candy bar!

Make sure you are drinking something every 2 hours. And in bewteen that drink water. Don't forget that sf jello or sf opsicles are considered liquids to. Maybe they will make you think they are more of a food. it is hard to do, but it is worth it., the pre-op liquid diet helps decrease the size of your liver before surgery. You can do it! It will be worth it, trust me!
