    Make Ur Own Jello Protein

    Found this and it looked yummy! Ingredients: 1 packet of sugar-free Jello mix (JELL-O) 1 scoop whey Protein 2 tbsp. fat-free or low-fat yogurt 2 cups of Water Note: This recipe is good for 2 servings. Nutritional Facts: (amount per serving) Calories: 100g Total Fat: 0.5g Total Carb: 1.5g Sugar: 0.5g Dietary Fiber: 0g Protein: 16g Steps: Low-Carb Protein Jello Recipe 1) Use a cooking pan and pour 2 cups of water. Turn on the stove afterwards and allow the water to boil. 2) When the water reaches to its boiling point, turn off the stove and pour in the packet of jello. 3) Use a spoon and stir it occasionally. 4) When your jello has completely liquefied from the boiling water, use a Pyrex container or just a pan and pour the water into it. 5) Add 1 scoop of whey protein but before doing it, take two cups of cold water and add whey protein in the shaker bottle then shake it out until the powder dissolves. You can use any flavor whey powder you want like strawberry and vanilla. 6) When the Protein Powder has totally mixed into 2 cups of cold water, dispense it over the jello then use a spoon to mix it altogether. 7) Place it on the refrigerator for approximately 4 hours or wait until it is firm enough just like any other jello. 8) After 4 hours, you’ll have a pleasant and healthy strawberry-vanilla flavored protein jello. 9) Cut the jello into 4 pieces and just take one of those pieces then place it in a bowl. Afterwards, add your favorite fat-free or low-fat yogurt and some banana pieces on top of your yogurt. Again, it depends on your like if you like to have a banana on top of your jello recipe.

    Low carb not working

    Healthy fats, like avocados, olive oil? Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App Yes those kinds of fats.

    Low carb not working

    If you're doing low carb, and I mean 25 net carbs a day or less, then you need to burn "healthy fats" to lose fat. I've been following Ketosis since my surgery over 4 years ago and if u follow it correctly and drink tons of water in between, it works wonderfully. Keep your macros at 75-80% healthy fats, 15% carbs and 5% carbs (net carbs)

  9. @@jane13 16:8 is the intermittent fasting whenever u fast for 16 hours and have an 8 hour eating window and you do 5:2 on two of those days if you choose. It's intermittent fasting.

    Vets still trying to lose - what are your macros?

    I'm in the same boat... Over 3.5 years out and was 10 pounds from goal and gained 20. Trying to lose 30 pounds and maybe another 15. Ugh! Been working hard doing the IF thing and nothing in two weeks! Trying to lose this extra weight so I can plan on getting pregnant. My husband and I are ready but I don't want to blow up! [emoji45][emoji53]
  11. @reallyrosy- I understand what you are saying and you're right. I just don't understand how I can lose all this weight doing the same thing and then gain 20 of it back doing the same thing. I do 25 grams of good carbs or less a day. I stay away from bread rice and potatoes. I follow "the rules" it just stinks!
  12. I'm 3 1/2 years post op and I've gained 20 pounds in 1 1/2 years. I've been doing 16:8 and I haven't lost an ounce. I'm scared nothing is going to work! [emoji45][emoji53] ID love some insight...

    Torani Sugar Free Syrup comment & question

    Walmart only has the really small bottles and I can get the big ones for 1-2$ more

    Ack! Only Starbucks for the weekend

    I work at Starbucks and I flat white is made with whole milk and ristretto shots, ristretto shots are the sweeter part of the espresso without the bitterness, and the whole milk gives it a natural sweetness. My favorite each day is iced coffee with sugar free French vanilla and cream. A flat white*

    Kibbeh

    @ray92- yes I'm talking about delicious wara el dawali ! Yeah I'm pretty authentic. Love koussa too, I just make it the same without rice.

    Kibbeh

    @ray92- I just use a combination of 93/7 lean ground sirloin and ground lamb and I season it with salt and pepper, allspice and fresh ground nutmeg and I bind it with some ghee and wrap it in the grape leave and stew it for a few hours (depending on portion) with tomato sauce and fresh tomorrow's and fresh lemon juice. And for the baked kibbeh I layer it thinly into three layers kibbeh and then meat and pine nut mixture then kibbeh on top with fresh butter to hold in the moisture and get that crunch. I baked a half sheet pan for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and firm. I also mix some of the meat, (93/7 sirloin and lamb) into the cracked wheat as well as grated raw white onion to bind it together and make it less "carby"

    Kibbeh

    I make grape leaves without the rice, then again being middle eastern and a certified chef I kinda know how to work around it ????????
  21. TheNewSusie

    Kibbeh

    I'm Palestinian and that's a must have. Instead of frying it though I make it baked in the oven with think layers of the "kibbeh" and use lean beef and lamb mixed. I put more meat than the bulgur wheat and it's fantastic! I eat it raw too.
  22. I'm three years post-op from Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Piedras Negras, MX and I wouldn't have chosen any other doctor in the entire world to do my sleeve! He is amazing, caring, and really knows what he's doing, and he does it because he cares. He charges more than others but I didn't care. I saved and saved and it was way more than worth it!!
  23. TheNewSusie

    Anyone in Houston, TX

    I'll be three years post op in July. I'm fr Houston, born and raised now live in the New Orleans area. I went to Mexico and am very happy with my sleeve! -Susie

    Slow weight loss - feeling very low

    I'm 2.5+ years out and insulin resistant, I learned not to take in more than 30 carbs (good carbs) per day, always follow protein first then veggies. I stay away from the processed things. I do HFLC and I went from taking 60 units of novolin N/R to 8-10 per day. This is how I lost my weight and got my a1c normal.
  25. Thank goodness it was easy for me as long as I took my time. At first I couldn't swallow big pills, so I did chewables and for protein shakes I drank atleast 30G per meal/ shake. I was on full and clear liquids for 5 weeks. And my hair got thin, but I never went bald. I took biotin, but u have to take your vitamins and protein also. Hope that helps!
