Haha.. My nana used to say that about Oreo Cookies (my favorite cookie) to me!

And used to tell her "I don't care if they were made out of rat guts, I like em"

But she and you are right :) and I'm sitting pretty today not even thinking about ice cream!

Hey my nana used to tell me I was one "smart cookie" too! What the??? Was she saying I was as dumb as lard? :o:P

Oh the Protein bars!! Those will be the death of us! I had to eat all of mine just to get rid of them!

Hehehe... On a good note they are gone and I will not be buying them by the box anymore at costco, just to tempting and easy :D

Yeah, I have Protein Bars on the mind often too. Cut em though! I can't eat them ( the chocolate ones) because they make me want more. My favorite deserts were oatmeal raisin cookie, Oreo cookie, apple fritter and old fashion donut ( or holes). They were so yummy. Now you are probably wishing you had one. :)

OK you guys!

I haven't seen this on here in while, but you may already know it. A frozen bananna makes a great ice cream like snack if you cut in rounds before freezing and the run it through a blender or food processor. I use one of those tiny food processors that holds about a cup. It looks rough at first, but just keep pulsing it and scraping it down and it will magically turn creamy and yummy.

As for waffles, I eat the Nutrigrain or Vans Whole Grain with sugar free Mrs. Butterworths Syrup and 1/2 banana cut in rounds.

Jump Planks. That sounds too much like burpies. I'm still traumatized from doing them in 8th grade PE.

Thanks for sharing this link! I may have to modify some of the ingredients (would almond milk work in it, I wonder?) but it sounds worth it!

I bought the exact ice creaqm maker that she uses... the reviews are good for it for the price. I got mine on sale for around $35 I think...

You need the fat in the soy milk to make it an ice-creamy texture. It's really good and the ingredients are basically the same as a Protein shake.

What the hell was I thinking?! You can shout it too, it's okay. I deserve it.

Yesterday it was a beautiful, warm day full of sunshine and such. I stayed outside as much as possible with my puppy and we enjoyed NOT focusing on things like loneliness, an empty house, and food temptations.

Today it is a typical Pittsburgh day. Cold, grey, and it's raining. I'm feeling the emptiness of the house even with the puppy napping peacefully. All I want is comfort. And wouldn't you know, I reached for that damned box of waffles that has been in the freezer for over six months. (Can we say Eww?!)

I toasted one waffle, measured one serving of low-calorie butter substitute and .25 serving of Syrup before it hit me that I was eating for comfort. A waffle with butter and syrup would make me so ill and offers no nutritional value-WTH?!

So, I tossed it all into the outside garbage bin. The box of waffles from the freezer and the syrup went as well- just for good measure. I'm still lonely and the weather is still crappy but at least my insane addiction didn't win this time, so it's a victory I'll happily claim. :)

You are a good writer, fun to read your posts. Stay strong, one day you can eat a waffle, with a little syrup....although you won't be able to eat much of it!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
