i dont know if it relates but i have cut out the chocolate and diet pepsi from my diet and i am having withdrawls from that...i have the shakes and headaches and being a really bad migraine sufferer this is doing me in. i am 5 days no choco and this is day 3 with zero pepsi. if i need a carbonated beverage i am now opting for sprite zero but trying to keep that to a minimum as well. i really do not eat alot of breads and stuff now so i think i will be ok with that. i dont know what i am doing really. just trying to get through the day. i have had that same cruise ship dream only i was at the desert bar eating all the chocolate in sight....yikes! i tried some grilled boneless and skinless chicken breasts on the george foreman, marinated in tuscan italian dressing a few days ago and it was amazing. put that on a bed of greens with some shredded cheese and cucumbers and a low fat ranch dressing! even the kids enjoyed it!

thanks a bunch!!!!! i just copied it into a word doc and saved it to my desktop for quick reference!!!! hopefully i will be able to find a few that i wont gag on...lol :biggrin: on the plus side my oldest son just loved the banana one i made earlier and i added a few blueberries to it so it was even better!!! he has trouble eating breakfeast like me so maybe he can share a protien smoothe with me every morning! thanks again!!! {pr}

i am just starting with the whole protein shake idea and ordered the unjury powder as that is what several of my post op friends are using as it was recomended. now i just made a banana smoothie and it tastes like that cra**y amoxil medicine i used to take as a kid....eeewww.:glare: i dont know if i just didnt add enough of something but if they all taste like this i am in big trouble. ****wonder what it would taste like if i added a few blueberrys and gave it another spin****:biggrin:

congratulations and good luck!!!!!!!!! i hope my approval goes quickly as well!!!

it is stories like yours that make me KNOW that i will be able to do this for me as well!! congrats on your success and you truly are an inspiration! i hope to dr. bonnor's star patient as well!!! {pr}
