Hello.. I keep the fridge stocked with plenty of bottled water, Powerade Zero's, and I drink unsweet tea w/ splenda. Also coffee and I make my own sf iced coffee every day.. Gotta have one of those and a protien shot every day!! lol :thumbup: Hope these ideas help!!

Actually, now that I think of it.. It seems like when I went in, my period seemed to stop right after the surgery I don't know if it had something to do with the anesthesia, I'm sure? I thought that was strange for me. But don't worry about that. I remember the nurses telling me they have ladies come in like that all the time.. But I know, we just think of everything!! :tt1:

Hi.. Yes, You can have your surgery while your on your period. I did.. I thought the same thing.. :thumbup: You just might want to mention it to the nurse when you go in that day for surgery, just tell them you need to keep your undies on.. And I made sure I made one last trip to the rest room before I went into surgery. :thumbup:

Monday 1/4/10 B-water, coffee, meds, then later a peanutbutter mocha choc protien shake (41gr protien) L- a Fuze drink, then a Weight Watchers meal (salsbury steak and mac & cheese) all I know it was 6 pts ? coffee, Water D- 2 very small thin grilled pork chops, 1/2c broccolo & cheese, 1/2c rice. S- 1 miniture snickers, 1miniture reese cup, 3 cookies.:rolleyes2:

Wednesday- B- 26g protien shot, 1c Water, meds, SF iced coffee made w/ 2 c Hood milk 16g protien, 6 carbs. L- 1c iced tea, 4 turkey meatballs, 1/8c ham salad, 1/4c cottage cheese w/ a sprinkle of shred chse on top, 6 wheat ritz crackers water, iced tea D- Olive Garden! 1 glass of raspberry lemonade, 2 fried lasagna appetizer's w/ dipping sauce, some salad, 1 bread stick w/ dipping sauce broken up and spread out so it seemed to go far,3/4 of a pork cutlet, about 4 cheese filled tortalini Pasta w/ a spinach alfredo sauce. It was delish!! :biggrin: And of course my after dinner mint!!:w00t: water later, and maybe some hot tea or something like that!

Jachut, The splenda in the Hood milk does not make it sweet. All milk has some sort of natural sweetener. I have a gallon of 1% in the fridge now the rest of the family drinks and it has 13 grams of sugar in a glass as where the Hood milk I drink only has 3 grams to a glass and the differenc is it is sweetened w/ Splenda not natural sugars. I try to watch my sugars and carbs, because I have about 120 pounds or so more to lose. :tongue2: I guess variety is what makes the world go around, right?

I also like to drink the Hood Calorie Count Down 2% milk or the fat free kind because it is soo much lower in sugar and carbs and is made w/ splenda, also it is high in protien. The chocolate is fabulous as well too! Give it a try! But I do buy 1% for the rest of my family to drink.

Yea, i do eat taco stuff a lot, the family likes that too. If I am wanting that crunch, I eat the multigrain chips( a few) it's better for the rest of the fam too. I buy the low carb tortilla wraps from walmart and make me a wrap-which w/ cold cuts. Or I just eat the cold cuts rolled up w/ cheese dipped in mayo. Or I eat cottage cheese w/ a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top. I make chicken or tuna salad a lot. Boiled eggs. Wendys chili is a good choice if your out or the chicken nuggs. I eat a lot of cheeses. Omelets.. Protien shakes nearly every morning. I always use the Calorie Countdown locarb milk for me, also the chocolate milk flavor as a treat too. Hope all these ideas help you some!! :thumbup:

Yea, i love salads too and usually eat a lot of salads too. But in the last two months, a ive noticed i cant really eat salad as much. Im really tight now i think. it always seems to get stuck on me.. im really tryn to concentrate on protien now, as i have been at a platuea for a few months as well too. i am 15 months post band and 112 lbs down, so I cant complai, but I still have a lot more to lose, so I gotta get the scale movin!! :thumbup:

That's wonderful!! Good for you!! I know that is the best feeling, isin't it?? Keep up the good work!! :thumbup:
