I've been having an insane hankering for hot chocolate. It's cold and windy outside, the tree is up....all I need is a fireplace and hot chocolate.
So I made a hot chocolate out of the following:
Gold Standard 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate 1.5 scoops
fat free dry milk (sprinkled liberally)
1 packet of Swiss Miss Diet Hot Chocolate- I looked at the No sugar added and it was way higher than the Diet version
To make it more interesting, I added SF Raspberry syrup
Man was it tasty, delicious....hit the spot, I want more. For a while after surgery, I only wanted Nectar Fruits, heavy dessert flavors were grossing me out. I'm guessing my affection for dessert flavors has returned, unfortunately.
Just moved to solid, "regular" foods this past Tuesday. Tuesday night I had shrimp taco salad and left the tortilla where it lay. For whatever reason, it made my poor pouch miserable. Kind of like when you're a kid at a holiday party and had WAY too much candy. Haven't had stomachache like that in quite some time. Totally ruined my evening.
Still a bit tired, not sure if that is just from my regular schedule or from the surgery still. It's been a hard core surgery year between a c-section, gallbladder removal and then gastric bypass. I imagine after a while that takes a toll.
The last is I just don't feel like I'm losing at a good clip. I guess we all lose weight differently, but compared to last month my weight is just kind of hanging out. It's still a good 7 pounds but I'm hoping to get to the surgeon's goal of 15-20 lbs a month at first. Lost 20 the first month.....okay, yeah....I'm kind of whining. I guess the main thing is to continue doing as I am instructed.
