Girl, you sure have some delicious sounding protein shakes!  I got so burned out on shakes pre and post-surgery that I can hardlly stomach them now. 

Hence the reason I have to spruce them up and make them yummified...I actually look forward to them when I wake up (OMG I know, I'm a nutjob) . :)

Lisa,

Where do u get your hi lo proteiin cereal and flax snax protein/fiber hot cereal?? And, are they tasty???? Or is the trick adding the SF syrups??

Let me start by saying I am VERY picky about the way things taste (you know be by now!!! hahaaa). I am always willing to try something ONCE, but never settle unless it is not only healthy, but YUMMY to boot. Or it goes in the trash with a "oh well, worth a try" sigh. lol

Honestly, the Hi-Lo Protein Cereal (made by Nutritious Living) has me completely hooked and tastes fab with our without syrups (I just add them sometimes to switch it up so I don't get bored, but its sweetened already and delicious on its own). It comes in three flavors: Original, Maple Pecan & Vanilla Almond. All are delish and have the consistency of bran flakes (its the new Raisin Bran lol). Here are the lovely stats per (very filling) 1/2c serving:

Cal: 90
Fat: 2g
Carbs: 13 (but net carbs are only 6g!!)
Fiber: 7g
Sugars: 1g
Protein: 12g

Unbelievable, right?

Same goes for the Flax Snax Hot Cereal...that one comes in 4 flavors: Strawberries-n-Cream (my fave), Blueberries-n-Cream, Bananas-n-Cream and Cinnamon Spice (2nd fave lol). I love them all and only add syrup to the cinnamon one to enhance the spicyness, but its not even necessary - they are all sweet enough. :) Stats per 1/2c serving (again, very filling, thick oatmeal-y stuff):

Calories: 140
Fat: 6g (0 sat or trans)
Carbs: 13g (but net carbs are only 1g - crazy good!)
Fiber: 12g
Sugars: 0g
Protein: 12g

I buy all of my goodies at www.netrition.com. $4.95 flat shipping and very competitive prices. *LOVE*

Love the net carb counts!  I'm gonna have to try these!

how do you make this 5min protein cake I heard about this cake a lot, but can not find the recipe. And also, if it is not too much to ask, can you send  me the recipe for your tuna parmesan patties
Thanks.

Here is the link to the 5-minute cakes.  Then, if you scroll down, you can see all of the ways to make various flavors.  Enjoy!  theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2010/04/that-takes-cake.html

Parmesan Tuna Patties (super quick and easy)

1- 5oz can of chunk light tuna - drained
1T Mayo (I use 0% Plain Greek Yougurt)
1 Large Egg
2T Parmesan Cheese
2T Ground Flaxmeal (I use Low-Carb breadcrumbs or Atkins Baking Quickmix)
1 dash Garlic Powder
1 dash Old Bay Seasoning
1 dash Salt
1-2T Shredded Cheese of Choice (I use sharp cheddar)

Preheat oven to 400. Mix all ingredients in a medium sized glass bowl.  Form into patties.  Spray muffin tin with Pam and place patties in muffin tin.  Bake for 15 minutes at 400, then broil for 2 minutes on each side to make them crispy.  After that, I even put them in a small frying pan for a few minutes with Pam because I like them REALLY crispy on both sides.  They save well in the fridge and that is also how I reheat them to crisp them up. :)  Serve with my version of tartar sauce - 1/4c 0% Plain Greek Yogurt mixed with 1T sweet relish.  Very protein packed and healthy stats.

I love smoked meat- but it's always given me heartburn prior to WLS - wonder about now?  I think I'll give it a try again!

b:  plain yogurt and kashi cereal
l:  taco salad
s:  atkins endulge bar and atkins protein shake
d:  wine then chicken thigh, salad, parm cheese

I hope I skip the snack later tonight.

My Atkins ready-made protein shakes that I bought yesterday are all "clumpy" - wonder why?  I did leave them in the car for a few hours but it's not too hot.  I drank it anyway - but really yucky texture - the taste was the same.
