Good Day all--Glad I have found this forum and hope that it will assist me moving forward--I had my surgery RYN on May 30th and so far doing ok but not great--seems as though I may now be lactose intolerant--trying to keep track of what I eat as to how I react to it--so far chicken and salmon seem to be fine but not cheese at this time--thinking of trying protein drinks and will need to check for lactose in those as well--I live in Canada so will need what is available locally until I make a trip to the US for some shopping with more choices.  I look forward to some lively conversations on this board as we move through the summer and head in to the Yom Tom season in the fall--be well 

I will be aiming at gefilte fish for protein and some matzoh ball soup.  And I will make my favorite Crystal Light Red Tea Mandarin Orange for my wine glass.

Good luck with it all.

Good Pesach!

Hi Tova,

So far I am only down about 25 pounds. I guess its a combination of no real restriction, me not behaving and Chanuakh food. It seems that I am pretty good (usually) throughout the week but when Shabbat comes it is really tough.  I am going to get another fill in January and hopefully that will hlep me. So glad to hear how well you're doing!

Hi Heidi,

I thought I could help you with the recipe until I got to the no oil part....

I'm pretty sure a latke isn't a latke without the oil!!!

Maybe you could make hash browns or try the regular recipes with PAM?

Just a thought,

Sharon
