I mix mine into foods when I need some extra help in getting my protein.....I have added it to homemade milkshakes with milk-yogurt-and fruit, Soup, scrambled eggs, pudding, mashed potatoes.....the scoop is smaller than the chocolate and vanilla therefore it is only like 20g vs 30g of protein.....anyway, mix it in while the food is cold, cool, or room temperature.....it clumps together if added to hot foods directly, so mix it in to the lower temps, stir it good, then heat it up and it usually stays blended and clump free....good luck!!!

Aline, with 1 scrambled egg, I only add about 1/4 to 1/2 scoop, a dash of milk and whisk it before cooking....too much powder and it becomes gritty...I have wasted a lot of food experimenting, LOL. how are you doing otherwise??

So is anyone else having relationship issues? Today I had a meeting at work. I get dressed up and do my hair and make up, like every day. I had to drop something off to my husband at his work and he said you look so good. I said thank you and he continued to complement me. I said thanks again and he said who let you out the house looking that good. I just rolled my eyes because he says that all the time. I tell him I had to go and kiss him good bye. I start to drive away and he acts like he is throwing a fishing line and reeling it back in. I look at him and I say what are you doing? He said your going fishing and I got mad. I told him that he is nuts. His insecurity from his prior relationship is rearing its ugly head. I have been a faithful wife for 22 years. I lost weight get a grip. I am still the same person just in smaller clothes. Really, I still weigh 250 lbs. What is going to happen when I get smaller? Anyone out there dealing with this please let me know.

Oh yeah today is my birthday! My friends did tell me I looked good and three did call me sexy. My husband did say that to. I was wearing a skirt that is so big and a very loose shirt. I did not feel very sexy. I think my friends are very excited ab out my weight loss because they loved the old me in and outside.

I had been having a lot of nausea. Figured out I get nauseated and that is my "I'm hungry" signal. Mashed potatoes are a good stand by in between the Protein. I do oatmeal with a splash of lactaid milk 6gm protein with sprinkle of cinnamon for breakfeast. I do mashed potatoes with smashed toddler meat sticks or refried Beans with little grated extra sharp cheddar or poached egg over tiny bit of refried beans and a drizzle of taco sauce for a quasi huevos rancheros. I have not found one Protein Shake I can stomach. I keep trying new ones. Meanwhile I try to get as much protein from food sources and almost can get in all that Water.< /p>

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
