Ice cream update 6/19---

Many of you asked that I let you know the results of using my new Cusinart Ice Cream machine.  It's everything I hoped it would be.

I just made a batch of chocolate mint crunch ice cream, using an 11oz ready mad

On to making Eggface's Protein ice creams...yummmm, can't wait!

Look at what I just bought!  Now on to make Eggface's protein ice cream.

I'm doing a Scale Victory happy dance.  Today I finally reached and surpassed 100 pounds lost!!!  I am over the moon happy.

I was at the Cancer Center on Thursday for my 4th chemo treatment.  After all the basic questions on how my 3rd treatment went, the NP proceeded to do another monthly manual breast exam.  

She said all was good and asked me if I have felt anyth

Yesterday I had my yearly physical with my PCP.  1st NSV...she told me to remove my clothes and put on a gown.  She reached into the cabinet and pulled out a regular size gown.  It fit with alot of extra room!

My PCP was over the moon with my w

I hit the jackpot today! While cleaning out my lingere draw I came upon 5 Christmas forgotten money envelopes that my inlaws had given on some 5 past Christmas days. I found $470 in cash! Oh my, what to do with it?!

I'm thinking of putting it t

This is useful info.  Some of the items I can't have, as I'm only 5 1/2 months out.

Those of you that eat Quest bars, what is your favorite?

I had my consultation with the plastic surgeon today for my double mastectomy reconstruction. To make a very long story short, he recommends that I hold off on reconstruction until 6 mos after radiation is complete. At that time, then have fat and skin

I've been reading Shelly's (Eggface) ice cream recipes which she makes in a Cusinart Ice Cream Maker.  Has anyone ever tried making ice cream using a Premier Protein ready made shake, using an ice cream maker?

I am currently undergoing breast cancer treatment.  I am scheduled late this summer to have a double mastectomy (left side is a prophylatic measure) with a lymphectomy in the right armpit.  At the same time as my mastectomies a plastic surgeon will do

I did something yesterday that I haven't done in 23 years, and honestly didn't think I would ever do again.  I bought a bathing suit.  The best part, it's a size 12!  I had to have a suit now as I will be starting Aqua Zumba this Saturday.  My oncologi

I'm 85lbs down and can now perform my own pedicure.  My stomach is no longer in the way, so I can easily reach my toes/feet for as long as it takes.  This will be a $480/yr savings!

If there was ever a doubt by anyone that I wouldn't stick to this life changing plan, those doubts are now gone.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I watch every dime I spend. Yesterday I liberated (purged) all the complete wardrobes I had in sizes 18-3

I'm positive I am not the only RNYer whose every step is jet propelled. Not only is the expellsion of gas embarrassing and socially unacceptable, the internal buildup is painful. What can be done about this?

My port was implanted this last Wednesday. Since I had been without fluids since midnight, I asked if I could be given hydration.  I got it as soon as I was taken into the surgery prep room.  At that momnent I weighed 180.  

My first chemo trea

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm concerned.  How long can we go without fluids befor becoming dehydrated?  Since my WLS I have always been extremely aware of my fluid intake, tracking every drop that passes my lips and watching my urine for

I took a very old friend shopping today.  I hadn't seen her for a number of years.  She knew from our phone convos that I had WLS back in Dec.  She got into my car, looked at me and said, "Why did you have WLS?"  Hehehe...I loved it!!

I posted a week ago about my breast cancer diagnosis.  Yesterday I met with my oncologist for the first time.  As is always thr procedure when visiting a doctor, I had to report all my current meds...none!  I had to report all my current health conditi
