It's about $18.00 for a month's supply - not bad at all, since it is so rich in vitamins!

So how much is this stuff at walmart....

Hi guys and gals! True confessions time. I gained 2 pounds since last Friday, my first gain since surgery. I'm surprised it's only 2. My downward spiral began with Passover last weekend. After cooking for days, I hosted the sedar Saturday night and I am a great cook if I must say so myself! I made delicious matzo ball soup, brisket, potatoes, charoses (chopped up apples, walnuts, sugar, cinnamon and wine, YUM!), a dense flourless chocolate torte and other wonderful desserts, the list goes on. Then of course being the Jewish mom that I am, I had tons of leftovers, even after I sent everyone home with "care packages!" So I have been feasting all week. And that has caused diahrrea and tiredness so I haven't been to the gym all week, although I have played tennis twice. I got things under control yesterday and I am back on track, weighing 166 this morning, up from 164 last Friday. The point of this post I guess is to say that I can completely understand how people lose 75 percent of their excess weight and than stop. The reason the weight loss stops is, I'm sure, because they stop trying, not because their bodies just stop losing! This week of eating has been seductive and fun. Face it, after 7 months of strict self discipline we are more than ready for a "break." And then when you have that break it's damn hard to get back on track. And then add to that the fact that everyone around me is telling me how "skinny" I am. It would be easy to buy into that and just accept staying in the mid 160's for the rest of my life. I feel great, I look "normal" and eating is FUN! But, I refuse to fall victim to this. I WILL reach 136 and have a "normal" BMI. I'm going to the gym today even though I REALLY don't feel like it. This surgery was a tool that I chose and I need to maximize my efforts while the tool still works for me. Well, thanks for listening to me vent! And good luck, everyone have a great weekend! HUGS, Sandy P.S. This weekend will be hard, i'm going on a Brownie camping trip with my daughter's troop, in the woods, with latrines and tents, the whole 9 yards. The girls did the meal planning and will do most of the meal prep. Lots of carbs! I'm bringing food for myself in a cooler. It'll be a challenge!

Cheese slices Cottage cheese doubles with fruit Pretzels!! HEB Choclate Mootopia Milk----14 grams of protein a glass and wonderfull! Hamburgers---a few bites of the real thing then just the meat Nachos Have a great weekend you all, Sharon

I love my American cheese slices. I love my fruits and veggies. (I seriously could just eat fruit and veggies alone. I could easily become a vegetarian but I know I can't...) I love my beef, chix and pork as well as my fish sticks...As for snacks, I love Beef Jerky (but since I now have braces on my bottom teeth, I can't eat it) and I love EAS Advent Edge Carb Control Nutrition Bars...Cookies & Creme and Peanut Butter Crisp are my two faves. When I feel like drinking something other than water I love the Crystal Lite Iced Tea and Sunrise Surprise (or something like that)...There is another flavor I like but I'm having a major brain fart right now and I can't think of it. I love the Orange Fruit 2 O also. I will have a cup of decaf tea with 1 sm splash of cream & 1 Splenda. But that isn't very often. Erin
