I enjoy dark chocolate almonds. Also mix them with the butter toffee almonds .... skor bar!

I was sleeved on 2/25/13

It was kinda inbetween the two. I used my smallest skillet, it just made one, pretty big, ate about 1/2 of it and then ate the other hald about 45 min later.

I did use vanilla flavored powder. I use Bariatrx Essentials by Metagenics.

Have to share my new breakfast recipe.......1 scoop protien powder, 1 egg, and milk to the consistency you like for a pancake, pour in heated pan, add blueberries and make like a pancake YUMMY! With the protein mix the Dr has me using this has 17 grams of protein.

I was so excited for surgery and scared also about the food. I had surgery on 2/25/13 and the first month was hard and I would wonder what I had done as I watched everyone enjoy their yummy, fat filled, not good for you food. But here in last month it has been good! The benefits: I feel GREAT!! I sleep better, dont have to sleep as much, more active, more energy, already been taken off my high blood pressure med after the first month, sex is better. I have been lucky and able to eat just about anything I have tried, I dont eat carbs, eat healthy stuff as much as possible. My new fav is a small chili from Wendys which I can get two meals out of it My husband and I still go out to dinner, we share, he is very supportive and we usually get cottage chesse instead of a potato and some type of meat. Boy have I saved TONS of money on food! We went to a nicer restraunt and walked out paying less than $20 for lunch, including a tip! WOW in the past it would have been closer to $40 + a tip. Went with friends and had pizza, I just ate some toppings, still good and I enjoyed my time! I feel better knowing I am not sitting there saying to myself "oh I hope they dont eat that all, I want more" Its much more enjoyable knowing I will eat a little and be satisfied and not worry about making sure I get ALL I want. I also use myfitnesspal.com really helps you see what you are consuming. I didnt think I was close to my protien intake, but when I plugged it it, I was pretty close! Good way to just keep a focus on what you are putting in your mouth. You will wonder, but in the long run and as time goes on, you will LOVE it!

Its been one month today, down 30 lbs! I can't believe it, I can tell in my clothes but in my mind I don't really see it!? I am still on protein shakes and one meal a day. Fish today from Schwans and cottage cheese yummy! Went to a wedding last night and I crossed my legs Wow! I do feel great and full of energy! Loving it!

I like the Strawberry......guess depends on your taste
