My mother in law gave me a recipe for a smoothie, it sounded absolutely gross, so I ignored it. She insisted I try it, and since I have trouble getting in all my veggie and fruit servings, I did. It was delicious. Just try it! Let me know what you think!

1/2 cup plain greek yogart

2 tbsp splenda

2 tbsp fat free evaporated milk

1small banana (frozen when possible)

1 small peach (peeled and sliced)

2 strawberries

2 1/2 cups fresh bagged spinach

1/2 cup ice

Blend until smoothie....

14 grams protein!

All your veggie/fruit serving for the day!

This sounds amazing! Did you make it public on My Fitness Pal? If so what did you call it so I can log it too! Sounds like something I would want every morning for breakfast! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D

When you enter the recipe there is a spot at the bottom that ask if you want to share it publicly or it can be just for you. It is a check box. No worries I will log it in and if you give me a name(it is your recipe) then you can search it and use it too B)

Oh no! Im not the original poster ;) I just wanted to see what the nutritional facts were... I did get it posted. I saved it under my meals, not receipes.... but anyway its up there... I hope the original poster does not mind! I named it Spinach Receipe.

Oh and the nutritional facts ended up being a bit different, but not a big difference.

THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I will now be saving lots of cash and calories as I no longer have to frequent Planet Smoothie! THIS IS A VERY VERY DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE! I have made over and over and will continue as it has everything! The carbs are tad high BUT it is from the fruit so I am ok with that! Thank you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
