Topic: RE: Low Potassium

Thanks for letting me know that. I was put on a pill for 3 months and now its back to normal. Since I've started being able to eat a little more they have taken me off the pill to see if my potassium stays u*****t. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I was able to go off my blood pressure pills and tried my cholesterol, but because of family history of heart disease I had to go back on that pill as that part had increased. Oh well.

I believe I found it here. It seems the dressing is key, but I am very anti-mustard, so I may have to substitute a different vinaigrette....perhaps a balsamic?

Huh, I hadn't really thought of using it along the lines of farro, risotto, rice. Seems obvious now that you point it out. I'll see if I can hunt down this Rice Salad you speak of

You can try my home made smoothie recipe, it is great for health as it contains yoghurt which has lots of protein also helps to lose fat. This recipe is called avocado smoothie recipe, click here to see the recipe.

I don't know, but think they could be similar to a farro texture and you can do many things savory with that kind of texture? I also think of risotto with it, or using it like a much more coarse bulgar for vinaigrette type salads. There is an old cookbook called Silver Palate. A lot of times you can find it in the Half Price Books store. They have a recipe for Rice Salad that is so fantastic--flavor profile. I think you could likely sub out the steel cut oats (cooked) for the cooked rice and it would taste incredible.

Topic: RE: Protein

For me taking protein supplements are not ok.. it would be best to take it from fresh foods and another natural way. like weight loss queen said Walnut is a good source of protein.

Topic: RE: Quest Hero bars?

I am still pre-op for a few more days and I tried one of these. It made me feel so sick, nauseated and shaky for about an hour. I love the regular quest bars but the hero one was terrible! Whatever allulose is, I don't think it agrees with me!

Topic: RE: Protein Shakes

Good for you!!! I applaud your willingness to make the change. Some women get very stuck in having a certain length of hair and when it thins (whether via surgery or life) won't change it.

I felt so awesome after changing my hair and the layers hid any thinning issues I had, plus I think I got it colored/highlighted so it added a bit of texture. I've kept the cut since then and it really accentuates my cheekbones and narrower neck. Plus, it was like a tribute to my new way of living/eating. Changes all over the place!

Look at some websites to see what you might like but also, if you really trust your stylist, see what they recommend. good luck!
