Whoa! I have to share this with you!

I stopped at Meijer yesterday while I was in Carmel.  I was actually looking for some ground flaxceed but never found it.   I did find a little something called Stacker Protein Water.  It has 0 carbs and 0 sugars but 20 grams of protein.  I only bought two bottles because I thought I would hate it.  I just can't stand the Isopure.  Well I just opened the pink lemonade and it's really, really good!  I'm shocked!!!  I bought a grape one too.  I hope it's as yummy.  I think they were 1.99 a bottle.  I highly recommend it. Too bad I won't be in Indy for a while.  I'd buy a bunch more. Hope this helps someone. Have a great weekend! Jacqui

Jacqui, I'll have to get some of it and try.  I buy my ground flaxseed at Walmart.  I thought it would be horrible, but I really like it!  I really wish I could have seen you when you were up here.  Looks like you are doing great! Robin

Thanks Robin.  I'll have to go to Walmart and get some.  Does it work?   I wish we could get together again too.  I've been popping in on your page but there are never any updates! Tell me how you're doing! Jacqui

Jacqui,

I'm sorry you didn't find the flaxseed at Meijer. Did you check in the pharmacy part? That's where I usually find mine. Congrats on finding the protein water...how many calories are in it? Meijer's does have a site online you can order through (Meijer.com). They aren't on FreeShipping.com. Target & WalMart are so you might want to check there and see if either of them carry it so you can get the shipping for free (Freeshipping.com cost ~$5.95 a year). I take it that you're wanting to do the flaxseed to increase your fiber intake. Try eating Fiber One cereal (Fiber One...not the Fiber One Munch or whatever it's called). Check the label..it's 14 g of fiber per 1/2 cup. The nuts told me to target 30 g of fiber per day. So..I'd munch on 1 cup of the Fiber One in the evenings..like most people would popcorn. It was no problem getting 2 more grams in with veggies. Pre-October issues, I would enjoy a cup of Smooth Move hot tea for those really backed up times. The next morning, I would be as right as rain. It really was nice meeting you yesterday. Sherri

Sherri, I guess it's for fiber intake.  The NUT I met with last time told me to drink one small bottle of Gerger Apple Prune juice to help with the bad BM issues.  I have been doing that and it's worked great.  Last week though I started noticing my urine smelling just like that fruit juice.  I told the NUT about it yesterday and she told me to stop the juice and add flaxseed to my breakfast. I looked all over the store for the flaxseed.  The NUT said to make sure it's ground.   I did find flaxseed oil. I know you said you got the flaxseed at Kroger.  There's one in Owensboro, KY so I'm planning to make a trip over there tomorrow.  If I can't find it, I'll get the Fiber One.  I never want to get blocked up as bad as I did.  I had to have it removed for me (sorry if it's tmi).  It was painful and a horrible experience. The drinks are 20 oz bottles and have 80 calories per bottle.  A friend of mine said he saw an advertisement for them so maybe Target or Walmart will carry them too. I really enjoyed yesterday too.  You are even sweeter in person than on the boards! Jacqui

Jacqui, It does seem to work.  I use it twice a day on my yogurt.  It makes the yogurt not so much a "slider" food!  I've been doing ok.  I've lost 67 lbs!  I'm starting to get bat wings!! lol How have you been doing? Robin

Robin, I'm glad it's working for you.  I know what you mean about slider food.  It seems my foods all have the same texture.  If they aren't squishy, then they hurt going through. 67 lbs is wonderful!  Congrats!  The batwings are a bummer but someone told me that they're not really noticable until you lift your arms straight out and we hardly ever have to do that.  Still, my arms are flab, flab, flabby too.  My butt cheeks are the worst part though.  My butt is really sagging! We're going to have to meet up for dinner sometime halfway between us.  How far are you from Bloomington?  It's about 2.5 hrs for me.  Seymour is a bit shorter I think.  Let's try to get together.  I can't wait to see you! Smooches, Jacqui

Don't cha just love those bat wings??? Thanking God my body temp is cold all the time or I couldnt wear the long sleeves to hide them... With my body heading south I will soon.. (hopefully) look like a flying clydesdale..with batwings and extra skin hanging around my ankles!! Linda Kay
