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

These are 100% whole grain complex carbs.

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 did like it. Made me feel a little too full. May have to try a little less.

I use Premier Protein. U can get it at Sam's, costco, Walmart and Meijer. It has 30g Protein per serving 1g sugar and 160 calories and comes in a little juice box looking set up. Delicious taste

Alright! Found it at the farmers market and boy, 1 cup makes a lot!!! I ate it with steak and mushroom. I really like the fact that I'm getting Protein from it.

Seeing this picture from last year started the whole process of getting RNY. I didn't want my kids to grow up with memories of an unhealthy mom.
Had surgery 10/17/12 and I'm down 59lbs. Slow and steady wins the race, right? I'm gonna give myself one whole year to get to my goal weight loss of 125lbs lost. 66lbs to go.
So happy with my result so far. Went from size 20/22 to 14/16!

For me personally it was a while before I could handle tuna. At 2 weeks I was pureed stage and was eating Soups and other creamy things. When I did finally start on tuna, chicken etc.. it had to be really wet.. like alot of ff mayo. I started with rotisserie chicken from walmart.. .dark meat as it seemed moister. Little bites and chew the hell out of it.

Thanks Nicole.
Eating was good. I didn't feel like I was restricted. Ate a lot of fruit, cheese and tasted a little bit of everything. It was so hot so I wasn't in the "mood" to eat much of the time.
I didn't work out on the ship but once so I only lost 1lb during the cruise. I probably could've done more...LOL
I'm doing small weight workouts on my arms, I'm gonna eventually have to have surgery on them, they've been sagging since my teen years so there is no elasticity left.
Guess we shall see if I can help them in the meantime!
