I tried something interesting that tasted very good today. I normally buy plain greek yogurt and put in a little vanilla and splenda to sweeten it (I can't for the life of me find greek yogurt without sugar sweetner). I dumped a little cinnamon in there this time along with the usual vanilla and splenda. It tastes awesome! I'm surprised the yogurt makers don't have this as an offering. It rocks!

I will give that a shot!

And thanks for the Moe theme. It makes me smile to see the familiar face that occupied so many of my childhood TV hours.

...pick 2.... boink! :)

I'm a relatively young Three Stooges fan at age 38. Born and raised in the Saint Louis area (home of Joe Besser). The local WB affiliate used to play 3 Stooges every Friday night from 11 to 1:30 in the morning. My parents had a VCR and that baby was recording them every Friday night. I own a complete collection of the Three Stooges shorts and movies now.

Yum - I need to try that. Thanks for sharing:) I'm born and raised in the St. Louis area (still here on the Illinois side). Do you still live there?

I did this as soon as I could have yogurt and I thought it tasted AMAZING!

Nope. I'm a Texan now! :-) And loving every minute of it! I grew up in Sparta, IL, lived in Belleville, IL and Maryland Heights, MO. My wife and I left Maryland Heights in 2003.

I don't measure it, but it's just a tiny amount. Maybe a quarter teaspoon in 4 oz of yogurt. One or two packets of splenda and however much cinnamon you want.

I've been flavoring my own plain Greek yogurt for years now. I have a local spice shop and there are a few that seem to go over well in our house. I'd suggest using whatever sweetener you use and the following to taste.

pumpkin pie spice with a hint of vanilla

Apple pie spice + vanilla

Chai spice with vanilla or sometimes I've used almost extract

Lemon and lime zest

Those all sound good, I'll have to try them. The Chai sounds very yummy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
