Hi everyone....I haven't been on here for awhile, but it is because I am living life, and happy. I am down 48 pounds now :) I did struggle in the beginning, found it hard to eat the pureed foods, then the ground, never want to see an egg on my plate ever again....then I decided that I needed to...

I have really missed cooking since having surgery, plus buying Greek yogurt for the extra protein is expensive....so, I went in search of a recipe to make it! This recipe starts with a half gallon of milk (I used skim), but I wanted to start out small, so I used 4 c. of skim. I also added 2/3...

I was getting a bit tired of my protein drinks and decided I needed to kick them up a notch. I love Eggnog, so after some research I made my own recipe from the information I found, and its delicious! 3 cup 1% Low Fat Milk, Skim, or Soymilk 3 large Eggs Eas - New 100% Whey Protein...

I tried one last time today to try and eat some pureed Meat. I can't do it! The texture, plus the taste when I eat it gives me the "willies"! I have tried mixing it with soups and even mashed potatoes....but nothing can hide it. I am thinking of trying to eat some just cut up, slowly and...

Purchasing my protein products, shopping for a new blender/chopper (by Ninja), cream soups, frozen fruit to mix my unflavored...

:p I have been experimenting with the protein shots....To me the best tasting is the IDS New Whey Liquid Protein shots. I made some in sugar free jello today, using the grape liquid protein as part of the cold water in Strawberry sugar free jello. It is yummy and I cant tell it has the protein...

:p I happen to stop by the Dollar Tree today and found that they had Xtra Strenght Gas-x and its generic counterpart on the shelves. For a dollar a piece I stocked up! Also, someone at work who is also a Gastric Bypass "survivor" told me about a website she used and still uses to keep track...
