Sorry, they're actually NSA (no sugar added) pickles...sweetened with SPLENDA. I buy the Vlasic brand when I go shopping in the USA. However, the Low Carb Canada store (on Birchmount Ave. south of Eglinton in Scarborough) sells a NSA brand called "Mt. Olive".

Now, whenever I add this to my menu, I ALWAYS think of YOU Barb and have a little chuckle....thinking about your reaction (when you tried it!) Guess, it's an "acquired" taste....been eating it since a little kid!

Thanks Barb! That CAL count kinda freaked me out a bit.....don't think I've ever had it so high!!

However, as I am going to the pool today, thought I'd be burning some extra energy and would be OK with it. Generally, I am quite sedentary hence, my low intakes. Swimming is really the only exercise I am capable of....other than lifting my 5 lbs weights for toning....so I'm VERY excited today! Might be just the thing to get those scales moving again??

Happy Freakin' Friday!!!

Let's hope the weather forecast is right and we'll get some warmer temps for the next few days....good time for you Michelle to work in your garden.....sounds like you've got a BIG job ahead of you but, it will all be SO worth it!!

GOOD job on the weight loss Kelly-Girl and, glad to hear that you're feeling better

Today, I'm going with a friend to her son's condo building to swim/exercise in their pool....hoping to be able to do this 2-3 times weekly....will see how it goes.

Good Morning!

Got back from US shopping trip yesterday.....Mmmmm so nice to sleep in my own bed

Shopped everywhere! Walmart, Kmart, Sam's Club (Vits & Premier shakes + clothes), Outlet Mall, Target, Big Lots, Tops (for my fave Chobani yogurt), Carhart store (stuff for my son)...and got some wonderful new outfits....I'm a "happy" girl!! Mini-Vacations are FANtastic!

Stayed on track "eating wise" as I took all my own brekkie, lunch and snacks....ordered an 8oz rib eye at Ponderosa on Mon night and ate it for dinner on Tues night as well. Weight is up 1.5 lbs today but, haven't had a BM since Mon......prolly 'cause I didn't get All my daily water in.

Ohhhh Thank you Pat for this recipe! I just might make it up tomorrow

There IS an almond milk with coconut flavour.....The recent recipe for Amanda's Protein Balls called for it and I searched "everywhere" for the #*%!?* stuff.....finally found it at Bulk Barn (Shoppers World plaza).....BLUE DIAMOND, ALMOND BREEZE, UNSWEETENED, "ALMOND COCONUT" (Soy & Lactose free)

.....and the "shake recipe" is.......????

LOL, OK.... I know you're on drugs and feeling pretty tired BUT, what a "tease" you are!!! (I don't recall the recipe being posted this week??)

Your GP prolly is better informed, than the Gyne, about ALL you've been through and how you're handling "recovery"....a solid recovery rules out the chance of a relapse, eh? Taking it "a week at a time" makes sense to me.....Take care

Topic: RE: It's about that protein powder...

Hi Sylvie......Have you tried mixing some decaff coffee into your shake? I find them too "sickly" sweet myself and adding the coffee really makes a difference. I used a shaker bottle + 4 ice cubes + 1 T Flaxseed and 1/2 to 1c. coffee initially post op.

These days, I am only having half the shake + 2-3 cubes, as I have recently added Chia seeds and Hemp Hearts (quite high in cal, carb, prot & fiber) in an effort to help my constipation issues....and, it IS working TG!!

Hope you find a way to make them more palatable.....they've got so many good nutrients which you really need right after your surgery. You might also want to look up recipes on the Ontario Recipes Forum.....many people have had similar probs and made up their own concoctions.

Good Luck....Verity

Pat....you STILL have much more recuperating to do.....I know you want it over but, it WILL take time.....like, it wasn't "just a papercut" ya know ?!?! It's such a slow, frustrating process so, get lotsa rest, put your feet up and listen to your body Girl....you'll get there....patience is a Virtue!!

What a "genius" to make your protein shake into a "Pina Colada"....I'll bet it's FANtastic!!!! I always used to order "virgin" Pina Coladas at the bar (never been a drinker).....SO YUMMY!!! Please let me have your recipe my mouth is watering and want to make it ASAP! Hmmmmm, wondering if Torani or DaVinci have a SF pina colada syrup.....will check it out stateside next week for sure.

Take GOOD care Pat
