How do make your Protein coffee? I tried adding protein powder to mine one time and it separated and was NASTY!

I use the whey protein from Walmart (vanilla) and slpenda and because the coffee is hot it mixes very well. If I get a small clump, I take the spoon and push it on the side of the cup and it dissolves. I use the rest in a shake or in my oatmeal or cottage cheese.< /p>

It is so strange about my fill cause at first I was tight and then I could eat a little more and all of sudden it's really tight. It's not too tight, it's that I am greedy.:thumbup:

I have read on here that sometimes the cold can have something to do with it tighten up.

How much protein powder do you put in the coffee? I may have tried to use way too much.

Sorry your band is tight! I've never had that problem, so I don't know what to tell you.

GG, I put about 2 tsps in it or I might a little bit more sometimes. I fill the scoop up and measure out from it. I meant to tell you that when you are putting it in your coffee to spinkle in it and maybe it won't clump. Try it it with 1 or 2 spoonfuls and see how you like it. Don't forget to use the rest of what's left in your scoop in oatmeal or something. Then at least you've had 26 grams and if you want a shake(26 g) later that's already 52 grams plus what other Proteins you eat. I had to make sure I get it in cause my hair started to thin. I'm 2 yrs out and my band doc said that sometimes 2 yrs out your hair will start to thin again. Mine never did when I first got the band so I guess it's making up for lost time:smile:.

Hope I was some help for you. Oh, this fickle band of mine, but I love it and know that I would have never lost or kept this weight off had it not been for it or God.

Lisa Lillien, author of the cookbook "Hungry Girl," shares her recipe for a guilt-free dessert.

Caramel pudding pumpkin Cupcakes

(Makes 12 servings)

Per serving (1 cupcake): 108 calories, 2g fat, 188mg sodium, 21g carbs, 0.5g Fiber, 12g sugars, 2g protein

Ingredients for cupcakes

  • 2 cups moist-style
  • yellow cake mix (1/2 of an 18.25-ounce box)
  • 1 cup canned pure pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup fat-free
  • liquid egg substitute
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free
  • maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

Ingredients for topping

  • 3 cubes (about 1 ounce) chewy caramel
  • 2 teaspoons light vanilla soymilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all cupcake ingredients in a mixing bowl with 1/3 cup of Water. Whip with a whisk or fork for 2 minutes until well blended.

Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with baking cups. Evenly spoon batter into muffin cups.

Place pan in the oven and cook for about 12 minutes (until cupcakes have puffed up but still appear a little gooey on top).

Once cupcakes are cool enough to handle, arrange them closely on a plate so that the edges are touching. Place caramel and soymilk in a tall microwave-safe glass or dish (mixture will bubble and rise when heated).

Microwave at medium power for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir mixture vigorously until smooth and thoroughly blended. (Return to microwave for

Congrats on the tummy tuck, tlamb.

I want one so bad ,but can't afford it. I asked the dr about Lipo and he said that a TT would be better and that he would help me all he could with my insurance co.(BCBS). Is your insurance covering yours? Hope I'm not being too nosey.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
