    Ok so it's wishful thinking, but in my quest to find non-dairy smoothies I came up with this one last night... Took a lil' more agave nectar than I would have liked to use but it was good tasting. Not my strawberry shake smoothie good, but still good.
     
    So here we go..
     
    ICE- lots of it (juice only smoothies require more ice than dairy ones) I did 1/2 of the blender, but you could do less and just pour over ice.
     
    1 serving of organic applesauce (unsweetened) I just dumped a serving single cup in there.
     
    2 scoops of vanilla designer whey protein powder (the ala mode lol)
     
    8oz -10 oz of healthy balance apple juice
     
    1 tablespoon (ok it was probably more like 1.5 but I don't measure anything) of agave nectar.
     
    Blend....scrape down sides, blend...and serve.
     
    Enjoy

    Losing a pound a day

    By Yvette1026,

    I am so excited to be losing a pound a day! I wake up every morning anxious to step on the scale and see the numbers go down. I am 7lbs away from my lowest weight since being banded, so despite last year's set back I am NOW on track and that's all that matters. 10lbs down for the year and I started this fast on the 3rd, so that's actually a little more than a pound a day, but either way it's great!
     
    No band issues since starting my new eating plan for the spiritual fast and I am excited to adapt this style of eating for the long run. I love to cook and I'm being challenged to come up with new and delicious veggie/vegan recipes. My Zucchini, Mushroom, Hummus pita pizzas are AMAZING and the stir frys and bakes and so on and so on.. I'm so excited for what this year is going to bring and as soon as I can figure out how to rename my blog I will to "How I lost 100lbs+" will be the documenting journey!.
     
    Now to just work in a more routine work out schedule instead of trying to fit it in here and there when I can, it's becoming a priority, it has to!

    Well Duh...

    By Yvette1026,

    I had a "Duh" moment today at my fill appointment. As much research as I did for 5 yrs prior to getting the band, and all the things I've read I never thought about, or put together the fact that the reason our fills work and don't, then work again is fat loss and shifting.
     
    When my Dr said this today I was just like Ooooooohhhhhhh DUH!
     
    The reason we get fills - fat loss around the band makes the band looser, hence the fill to tighten, then fat shifts, especially as you lose it, so there's days it'll seem SUPER tight and days it'll seem SUPER LOOSE, same thing with various times of day.
     
    WELL DUH! How I missed that one I didn't know. For some reason it never "clicked" to me that our stomaches have fat around them.
     
    In other news my total weightloss since Surgery on 12/18/09 is 47lbs WOO HOO! Got another CC put in today, bringing me up to 4 cc's.
     
    1 cc at install Dec 18th
    1 cc Jan 18th
    1 cc Feb 8th
    1 cc Mar 5th
     
    And in other other completely random news... I had Maple Bacon Ice Cream tonight.. Yes I said Bacon Ice Cream - and it was SO good! If you live in AZ be sure to try Sweet Republic - SO good, but that Bacon One.. WOW

    Who knew???

    By Yvette1026,

    SO.... who knew LBT showed up on places like google, as far as what we post, etc...
     
    So just a warning for those of you who want to keep your surgery or blogs private... if someone were to google your username or email, it comes up.
     
    On the upside you can change your username if necessary by going to the USER CP section and at the very bottom it gives you an option to change your name.
     
    So good deal!
     
    Anyways happy blogging...
