Not so. I'm behind on my phases actually. I'm taking it pretty slow. As long as I tried fish and egg before Wed (which I did) then that's all. Lol. I'm sure the nut will have me try something else before the next. Salad will probably be last, but I will blend in veggies in my protein. Which I just did. ?

Good morning. NordicTrack and Precor are the ones I know of that are pretty good. Provided you want to spend all the $1000...some might be in the $700 range though. Also depends on if you want all the extra gadgets on them too. You could always go with a cheaper one, under $500, but might need to really look in to reviews and how long they may last, etc. Do you have a fitness equipment store that allows you to try the floor model machines in your area? That would be a good way to determine as well. I don't like frothy drinks. I can imagine all the air already. lol. Bet it's good with the strawberries though. I'm eating cream of wheat with cocoa powder and stevia added. I need to add in my green bombs (frozen ice cube sized blended mix of kale, spinach, ginger, green apple, avocado, and cucumber) to a protein drink later. I miss my fruits and veggies...I'm actually cleared for them on Monday but I think I'll start early and see how it goes.

I personally think it's ok to not eat when your not hungry!!! So if you're not hungry at breakfast time, that's ok. You'll break your fast (breakfast) a couple hours later. Why add calories in when your not hungry? That could lead to overeating in the future. My nut advises against eating just because it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner time. Eat when hungry. I believe you're fine. Now, with that said, if you find yourself not losing or gaining, then you'll need to add those calories when your hungry enough to eat. ? Oh and I'm not against adding a little protein to the coffee either. Just find what works for you hon.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Im sure someone here has experienced this and can chime in. Have you been able to talk with your surgeon about it yet? I believe and have faith you'll get past this...hang in there hon. Blessings to you.

Congrats hon! The next chapter of life has started for you. Enjoy!!!

We're all different, we all handle things differently, we all have feelings, whether they're right or wrong, we all have to choose what works for us. And we SHOULD all be here to encourage and at the right times (when asked) offer constructive criticism. for ex: I have reservations about the Keto diet. It's not my choice, but I do hope it works out great for those who choose it. I'm not wrong for disagreeing with those who choose it. I will also not go into a debate about it either. Just becomes a mess. Each to his own...

Congratulations hon!! Great job!

Pick a healthy food item that is higher in calories, like avocado. Do you like avocados? That'll push your calories up a bit and help break the stall. can you eat nuts? Macadamia nuts are highest. Peanut butter. Even dark chocolate. 1 piece at a time though.

I'll get some Listerine strips to carry with me then. That should help. I hope they still sell them.

Hey y'all. I'm tired of this bad breath. Anyone with a remedy besides brushing and rinsing all day long? Also, I'm gonna check out for now. I'm quite tired and it's not even 10 my time yet. Y'all have a great night. Sleep well.

We are still rocking the same boat! You described me and my husband. Ha! I'm the social and I have to pull teeth to get him to go anywhere with people. Lol

I almost decided on tuna. I feel like I'm slacking on trying new things though. You did great on protein. I confess, I haven't counted today. If I have to guess it'll be about 45g. I'll try harder tomorrow.

No!!!! Allergic?! A good friend of mine is. She loves them too. She was crazy though. She actually prepared herself to go to the ER just so she can have some shrimp. Now that was a bit much. But I'm sorry you are. They can be so good!

Awwwww so sweet!! I'd like to think a woman makes the man. ? Funny fact: while my husband and I were dating (he didn't want to stop the partying and I was tired of it all) I broke up with him. My mother in law was very upset with him about it. He begged for me for a few weeks until I gave him another chance. Lol. My mother in law tells me every time we get to talking, you are a blessing to a Robert. You helped set him straight. ? Indeed. Lol

That is smart. I don't think to jot stuff down...I can only imagine all the stuff I've forgotten. Good for you hon. I think I'll try the tea alternative. Only because my coffee isn't all it's up to be these days. I think it's the ridiculous sweeteners. Meh. Thanks for sharing!!!

You too sweets ?

I have a single 34 yr old brother @mishyk And he has no kids either! but until your time, yes, enjoy all you can now. Hon. Live it!!!!

Lol. I try to play with my iPhone camera. Just wait until you see the plant based dishes. They're awesome!

I didn't think to get salmon. But I will get my ingredients for the ricotta bake. Looks very good.

So what's for dinner. Black beans again. Lol. Love them. But I did cook two shrimp to go with it. I'm not enjoying the shrimp too much and they're my favorite seafood of all time. Maybe I didn't season good enough. They're tasting a little bit too fishy for me. But it's not upsetting my stomach. Maybe some cheese on top will make it better. ? Should have just made one shrimp. I didn't anticipate finishing, and I'm totally not finishing it

I will definitely make this soon. Looks great. Glad it worked out. Also, I don't like low fat, no fat cheeses either. Taste funny.

Wow. That was quick! Looks great too. So pretty. Love the porch!!!

I have a desk job. Went back after a week, a week ago. It was easy to pack shakes, broth, etc. When it came time to add in more food, my next phase, I was at a loss. I didn't plan very well and just took my phase one diet. I was hungry. Planning, what you're doing is gonna help. I finally took food today. It saved me. ?

Absolutely this. One size does not fit all. Hope you find it. ?

I bought some Yakult Probiotic drinks. I'm taking one a day. Might be tmi, but I've gotten a yeast infection. Everything is off...all my good bacteria went somewhere. Trying to replace it now. Argh....
