    My fav is pureed refried Beans (whiz them in blender til smooth), then add a teaspoon of cheese whiz and heat in microwave. I add a dab of light sour cream and a dash of Tabasco. (i have a sleeve of steel so far so spicy doesn't bother me, but YMMV)

    I've also tried canned chicken, pureed, and added a bit of BBQ Sauce. Pop in the microwave to warm up. Add shredded cheese if you like.

    Scrambled eggs are another fav (add a bit of Water to make them fluffy and soft). Try it scrambled with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge!

    Oh, if you like pudding... Try adding unflavored Protein powder to sugar free pudding!

    Have you tried greek yogurt? Get plain greek yogurt and mix in a few pumps of your favorite sugar-free syrup! Or, if you're cleared to have pureed fruits, mix that in with the greek yogurt and add splenda or truvia, etc. to sweeten.

    I have Wii Fit Plus but haven't been on it in months... I got tired of hearing the animated board thingy say "oOOooooo that's OBESE!!!" every time I got on to check my weight! LOL!!

    I'm going to get on tonight to see what she says after losing 30 lbs!

    I have found the best thing to make my pizza on is the Mission Carb Balance Flour Tortillas. Only 6 g of net carbs per tortilla and they taste great not like paper or cardboard! IMO taste much better than Flatout. Just my opinion.

    Eggface has lots of great pizza recipes on her blog using those tortillas ;) I can't wait to try them in a couple months!

    Before you read my post understand that I am a cynic when it comes to relationships. After being cheated on multiple times in the past 2 major relationships I've had, it's to be expected.

    Now, for my opinion. Your husband refuses to tell you about his business dealings and belittles you by calling you stupid and ignorant when you inquire about them. He is being defensive for a reason. What is that reason? Could be a number of reasons... My guess is he is either: a.) failing miserably at the business venture and doesn't want to own up to it, b.) he is involved in something that may not be 100% legal and doesn't want to own up to it or, c.) there is no business venture and he may be seeing someone else while he is claiming he is working. Why would he not want you to know what is going on if everything is on the up-and-up? Unless he is just being a jerk for no good reason... In which case, why would you want to stay with someone like that? Why would you want to stay with someone who calls you names? In your mind's eye, when you picture what true love is, do you picture someone calling you stupid and ignorant? Do you want your kids to have a father who calls their mother stupid and ignorant?

    Again, I am a total cynic and I tend to expect the worst out of people, so keep that in mind... Just some food for thought. I hope I'm 100% wrong and you can work things out. But, honestly, please don't be one of those people who sticks it out "for the kids' sake". You're not doing your children any favors staying in an emotionally abusive relationship.

    And finally, most importantly, trust your instincts. In my experience they are right 100% of the time.

    I had my surgery the same day!!!

    I've had moments of being weepy for no reason, but it's normal as hormones are out of whack! I'm also in total agreement about being sick of sweet stuff. I can have strained cream Soups, but they just don't cut it for me. I am craving MEAT! Would totally love some refried Beans and cheese right now, but that's still another week away :/

    I also feel generally run down and feel like I could sleep all day long. However, I feel MUCH better once I get myself up and out the door in the morning. Exercise and staying active will help with the blahs!!! Get some sunshine and emjoy the fall weather!

    Who says you have to eat breakfast food for breakfast!? If there's something you've been craving (healthy choice, obviously) maybe try it for breakfast to get your appetite on track!

    I'm still on full liquids post-op but I'll tell ya right now, the first day I'm on puree I'm definitely NOT having oatmeal for breakfast or a shake... Refried Beans and melted cheese is first up on my menu! LOL

    Hey guys and gals! I received the sample pack of Syntrax Nexctar to try out the different flavors.So tonight I made a pack of the Apple flavored and mixed it with 16oz of ice cold Water. and it takes awful. Am I doing something wrong? Im almost afraid to try any of the other flavors cus this one tastes so bad. Should I have only used 8oz it says you can used between 8-16oz of Water. How do you mix yours? Thanks!

    I didn't care for the fruity juice flavors much myself! I think the only one I liked was the cherry and the lemonade was doable. I think those would probably taste better if you made an icee out of them with a blender!

    The creamy flavors like mocha, chocolate and vanilla are really good!

    Went to GNC tonight and picked up the following.....

    Pure Protein: Frosty chocolate

    Lean Body: chocolate Ice Cream

    IsoPure: Alpine Punch

    Going to chill and try them tomorrow' date=' I hope I love one of them!![/quote']

    Hate to tell you, but it didn't earn the nickname "IsoPUKE" for nuthin' ;). I bought a case for when I was on Clear liquids post-op and 7 of them are unopened, sitting on my kitchen counter...

    I don't know what I am afraid of..... So far this has been a picture perfect sleeve with no complications' date=' not much pain, zero vomiting, etc.... I'm sure i'd feel better if I started drinking at least the Protein shakes at least twice a day. I think I am going to try one now and just blend the heck out of it.

    There are also several brands of unflavored Protein that you can add to drinks and/or Soups if you don't care for the flavored Protein Shakes. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is one brand and Syntrax makes an unflavored as well... Many others I'm sure, those are just what came to mind.

    You definitely need protein!!!
