These are 100% whole grain complex carbs.

I bought a huge bag for $8 at costco. It's really expensive at regular retail grocers. It is organic, 100% whole grain, gluten free awesomeness. You cook it like you would rice, 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups Water, bring to rapid boil and the. Under low heat for about 15 mins. It expands so make sure you have enough space in your pot. You can cook it with chicken stock, it takes on the flavor you cook it with. Let me know how it goes!

That's just a 1/2 cup and it really filled me up. The shrimp added additional protein!

Tried quinoa today. Great substitute for rice like spaghetti squash is for Pasta. So much Protein, gluten free, Fiber, it's a superfood!!! I made this today with some shrimp, diced tomatoes, jalepenos, garlic, pepper, and a tsp of EVOO. DELISH!

I just got back from a cruise and they had sugar free beverages there at the meals, they had soups, soft foods, sugar free options...etc. just make sure you bring your vitamins and it would be good to bring a sports bottle to carry around to make sure you're getting your fluids.

I sprung for Mederma. It seems to be working wonders. :-)

Great job! You look great!

I'm 4 1/2 months out and I can't be any happier with my scars. I know I will never be in a bikini but I love the fact that I can barely see them! 5 tiny scars that are fading with each day. In fact, my most noticeable one is from my drain. Thank goodness for meticulous surgeons!

I'm fist pumping for you all the way up in New Hampshire!

Thank you. Yes, I would like to be in the 120s... I'm 5'4" so that would be fantastic if I could get there. :-)

Thank you. :-) one day at a time.

Thank you! I was a size 22...I'm 5'4" so definitely too big. :-)

Thank you! :-)

No, I had gastric bypass with the da Vinci robotic surgical system. No complications and I was in the hospital for 4 days.
