Thanks, I appreciate insight from a successful vet!

1/4 cup grated parmesan?

Morning smoothie 1cup frozen blueberries, 8oz unsweetened almond milk, Matcha powder, chia seeds, SF hazelnut Syrup
Took 1 hour to drink

I enhanced this cauliflower crusted pizza I bought @ costco. Added Protein of grilled chicken sausage (can add anything I.e. shrimp), part skim ricotta, reduced fat mozzarella as well as more marinara, sun dried tomatoes & mushrooms. Cooked by air frying which made crust nice & crusty. Totally satisfied any pizza cravings I might have had. No pizza, Pasta, limited carbs in 10.5 lbs. Down 120 lbs. 20 more to go!

I had these last night with some salsa and YUM! The regular chips don't do much for me, but these were really food! I'm going to try and make nachos with them!

I'm really enjoying the Earth Grown Veggie Burgers from Aldi's (they come in Thai, Asian, and Black Bean Chipotle). I also love, love, love Beyond Burgers. I put all on Brownberry Sandwich Thins or the Aldi's equivalent and make up sauces for them (since the only one I put ketchup on is the Beyond Burger. It seems wrong on the others)
I also love Aldi's Fit & Active 20-calorie bars (see pic below)
Light & Fit Creme Brulee (one of their seasonal flavors, so it's not always available) is a favorite, too.

Turkey sausage to serve with scrambled eggs.

I love most flavors of Greek yogurt, but my absolute fave is this Caramel Apple Pie yogurt. Has chunks of baked apple in it and it really hits the spot!!

My husband takes 2 10mg melatonin every night.

I do. I only started after surgery, since I had to quit my 2 to 3 glasses of wine method. I also bought melatonin 3AM for when I wake up in the middle of the night. I seem to be getting better sleep (according to my apple watch!)

I started menopause last year.

THE PORK RIND, PERFECTED: Chicharrones Cooked in Olive Oil
Bacon's Heir takes fresh pork skin, melt off the fat, cure the skin in salt, and rapidly puff it in olive oil. The result is so outrageously fluffy they had to change the name.
Pork Clouds are wonderfully fluffy crisps of pork skin, so fluffy that we couldn't in good conscience call them a rind. So we looked up and a more appropriate name dawned upon us. We love taking them on trips, particularly of the outdoor variety. Wherever they end up, they help to expedite a busy day, crispen a relaxing day, or punctuate a perfect day. Pork Clouds has 5 delicious flavors to choose from:
Rosemary & Sea Salt Malabar Black Pepper Habanero Garlic Thyme Cinnamon Ceylon Every flavor of Pork Clouds is seasoned with only a few specific spices. Each one is particularly poignant, emphasizing the power of individual ingredients versus a large number of hidden flavors or preservatives. This methodology results in the absence of a few things:
No hormones No carbs Transfat-free Gluten-free Ingredients: Pork Clouds are made with three ingredients. We start with fresh pork skin, melt off the fat, then cure it in salt. Following this, we use a unique Olive Oil kettle cooking process to make them extra fluffy and especially tasty.
Allergen: *No Pork Cloud ingredients contain gluten, but for those concerned regarding Celiac disease or allergies - our facility is NOT certified as gluten-free.

That's GREAT! Keep up the good work.

I just stuck to chicken broth, sugar free popsicles, and propel Water during liquid stage. I couldn't eat sugar free Jello because it felt like it made my stomach flip. It hurt.
