  1. Torani is a coffee syrup that they use in flavored coffees. We use the Sugar Free. It can be found in various flavors in the coffee section of most grocery or big box stores
  2. I was wondering if we can use agave nectar. It works great in smoothies.......anyone???
  3. Nuts and chocolate...whew I would worry about the fat content, two kinds of nuts.....I am not sure about it till some stats are posted. Sounds good though
  4. You should really work within your team
  5. whenever you feel comfortable singing again
  6. go to this webpage, she has some great revised recipes. theworldaccordingtoeggface.com
  7. I learned it in my bariatric class
  8. You should ask your doctor
  9. PS. I had a "Bariatric Team" and got all my guidelines from them, in a nice book from the team. I call it my Bariatric Bible. Then when I see my doc he tweeks it as I progress
  10. Did you have surgery in the US? If so call your doctors office and tell the medical assistant that you need some guidelines. You should be taking more vitamins than just a multi and you REALLY need a plan. If they did not give you one, that would be scarey as to the competence of your team
  11. It varies depending on what YOUR doctor wants you to have
  12. I never did mind SF syrup. I could not tell the difference
  13. I have noticed I have about lost interest in all food. I am happy with my shakes, ice cream, greek yogurt and cottage cheese
  14. For me, I would have skipped the butter and sugar and used sliced fresh fruit instead.
  15. do a search for 3 week stall, you will find it there
  16. I had surgery on Feb 26, 2014. As of yesterday "Weigh Day" I have lost 43 lbs and over 23 inches. I have also lost diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I have lost my walking cane that I have had to use for over a year because of knee and back pain. I have lost the size clothing I was wearing when I had surgery and the size smaller fits loosely. I have GAINED the ability to use my exercise bicycle, being able to cross my legs again, wear my wedding ring again, better health and fitness, more confidence and self worth, the ability to go for short walks with my husband and dog Pearl...and so much more..... Life is good........
  17. I use one half cup of Premier Vanilla protein shake, 1/2 c light soy milk, 1 scoop of the Unjury Strawberry Sorbet Protein powder, and vanilla Torani SF, about 1 Tb. (I have been unable to find the strawberry Torani. ) I put it in my magic bullet and blend well, then put it into the frozen turning Cuisinart , and let it spin about 5 minutes, then I had about 3 nice sized finely chopped strawberries and let it turn until the ice cream climbs up the dasher and won't go down. I either eat it then or dish it up and put in the freezer for about 30 min. Yes, you get the whole thing....
  18. I used it in water, didn't really care for it, so I use it to make my strawberry protein ice cream
  19. I just had a bowl of chocolate hazelnut for supper.....
  20. If you are an Amazon Prime member you can get one for under 50.00 with 2 day delivery and free shipping
  21. I haven't had any tea yet, used to get a big McD unsweetened when we were out. I haven't had any caffeine yet and I am not sure I want to add it back. I may someday do decaf here at home
  22. These Cuisinart ice cream makers are awesome little things. I added some SF Torani's but you can also just do your shake. If you go to theworldaccordingtoeggface.com she has lots of Protein ice cream flavor recipes
  23. My US Doctor said no swimming or water immersion for 2 weeks, and that is IF there were no complications
  24. I initially wanted a sleeve but insurance wouldn't pay for it , then after hearing the whole story about this vs that, I was glad for the bypass because it will hold me more accountable. If I eat anything I am not supposed to, it can make me sick and I don't want that, and I do not want to try it and see....
