Urinary Tract Infection..
UTI's are caused 99% of the time by E. Coli. after abdmoninal surgery some women can get a UTI just because it hurts to bend over and properly not cleaning... or... if you had a catheter placed during surgery the vagina was not cleaned properly before insertion.

Old Strawberries
I had about 1/2 lb of strawberries that were almost on their way out. Not good enough to eat raw but not bad enough to throw them out. I cut them up added 2T of balsamic vinegar and cooked them down. I added some splenda to taste and also thickened it with cornstarch. I just made an awsome topping for my protein ice cream. Having some right now on top of chocolate.

Able To Eat More Over Night?!
some foods go down much easier than others for me. somedays I can eat a whole cup of food withput any effort and others I can barely get 500 calories in for the day. last night I had 2 oz. of talapia and some zucchini and I coulnt finish it. to me it is how dense the protein is. Make sure you are not drinking and eating at the same time

Eggface Protein Ice Cream !
I have the ninja and use it with the cookie dough blade to whip air into the mixture before I put it in the ice cream maker. using that blade almost triples in size the volume of the mixure so it makes the ice cream rich & creamy. If you wont whip air into the mixture it turns into a dense lump.

Gastric By Pass Vs Sleeve
too many long term complications with the bypass. I work as a nurse in an large urban emergency room and see ALL the complications... from erosion of the esophagus from the lapband and slippage to intestinal blockages and ended up with the colostomy bag with the bypass. I have only seen ONE complication (except dehydration) from the sleeve which was a post surgical abscess. Hands down the sleeve was for me !!!

My Fit Foods ?
Has anyone used this service? My husband is going to be out of town for 3 months and on the days that I work 12 hour shifts It is hard for me to find the time to plan out my meals. I though about using this company and splitting the portions in 2 just on the days that I work and supplementing with my protein shakes and fresh veggies
