Good morning everyone. OK winter you can sod off.
This morning I'm going swimming and then I'm taking a friend out for her birthday lunch.
QOTD: An old family friend popped back into our lives yesterday. The last time I saw him I was 14. He reached out to my Dad, and Dad gave him my phone number. He sent me lots of pictures of me when I was a child. When I saw the pictures all I could think of was how sad I looked in all of them and how ill I looked. When I think of my life now compared to then, I am so grateful for my life now. What would you tell your self as a child if you could?
The eats today at 4 years 7 months post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee
S. Protein coffee after swimming
L. I checked the restaurant's menu online, and it will probably be tuna tartare or a house salad with grilled shrimp.
D. Scrambled eggs with mushrooms and a jalapeno/cheddar sausage
S. Protein latte
Have a great day.

Guelph told me more carbs too. When I was there at my last visit they told how well I was doing and how many have regained a lot of weight. I choose my carbs very carefully to get the most nutritional impact from them and the lowest insulin response. Up my carbs has triggers cravings for me. Everyone is different, but all I can say is that this has been working for me so I will stick with it until it stops working.

Thanks CC
Unfortunately I don't drink coffee or tea,,,,,, Jus****er :) Maybe I'll try half decaf and half protein shake but I know my centre said they want all the protein to be through food by 6 months. More turkey pepperettes isn't going to hurt my feelings... yummy.
Yes I would image you have to be quite careful with carbs. I'm incorporating very few for now even though the centre says I should have more of those too. (seems a lil strange)
I'm not a vet, but I do keep track of my protein. If you drink coffee or tea, you can use vanilla protein shakes as the creamer. The thing that I really keep an eye on, are my carbs. I am diabetic, and also I have dumped when I ate melon, and a few other times. If my sugars go too high, I will also have a reactive hypoglycemia episode.
You're a 'Stang Girl. Excellent.

Hey gang! Been a busy few days for me so I didn't get a chance to post but made sure I logged on at lunch today.
QOTD: My first car was a 1979 Mustang 5.0 (for $800 bux I felt pretty cool at 16) Within a couple of years I traded it in on a 1988 Mustang GT 5.0 which I still have stored today. Back in my time our big excitement on the weekend was "cruising the drag", which my parents through was ridiculous because we drove back and forth slow on the main strip in a nearby city then would stop at a restaurant and just hang out with friends in the parking lot. Better than many things we could have been doing!
B - greek yogurt, raspberries
S - turkey pepperette
L - 1 chicken skewer, Italian wedding soup
S - 1/2 protein shake
D - chicken breast, broccoli, parm
S - 1/2 protein shake
Just curious if you veterans still keep track of your protein. My centre wants me close to 80g per day but on some menus it doesn't seem like there would be that much especially without snacks.
Your passengers must have prayed for dry weather when riding in the Grand Am.

They are much better with the 100lbs gone that's for sure. I have issues with my left hip and will need a replacement but I started taking these isagenix joint support pills and man have they made a difference. Little to no pain in my hip and shoulder. It's amazing.
The gas almost killed me. I couldn't believe how painful it was! I set a timer and walked a loop around my apartment every half hour. Feeling great now. Premier protein is my bestie. And soup! I have been eating cream of wheat instead of oatmeal. It's gone down nicely and I add a few shakes of cinnamon for flavour.
Best of luck to us!

I found there were a few rough spots and splinters on the bench, but I've sanded down a spot for you, and I'll keep it warm for the 15th. Optifast was tough, but every night I would have two cups of greens. Sliced cucumber with salt and vinegar, or slices of green pepper, or broccoli cooked with a little horseradish added for flavour. Saved me big time. Drink tons of water to flush out the toxins and after a few days of feeling crappy, all of a sudden you have energy and feel great. I'm in your corner!! Elizabeth ð?¤--
