Moving Right Along and A BIG THANKS!!!
So today we made a trip to Costco for my favorite protein shake~ Premier Protein Chocolate. I bought 3 cases. I like them because they taste good, they are only 11 1/2 oz, and they pack a whopping 30 grams of protein. ALSO 1 gram of sugar and very low carbs!!!!!!
I sat a watched my husband devour the famous Costco hot dog and soda, while I ate my 2 oz of cottage cheese. I enjoyed the smell. I reminded myself that I knew what they tasted like and I had eaten enough hot dogs to last me a life time. Then we moved on!
I picked up some canned chicken for my next food phase.
I even got to sample a small piece of bleu cheese- it literally melted in my mouth!!!!! So good and I didn't feel deprived that there was nothing for me because there was!!!!
To stay hydrated while out and about I carried a 20 oz water bottle full of ISOPURE 40 gram of protein 0 grams of carbs. I just sipped on that all the up and all the way back.
All in all it was a good day! Getting out of the house and learning to navigate the world again is fun and quite the learning experience.
AND thanks to SINKIM I learned how to shrink a pic and get my avatar up and running!
This forum has been a tremendous help. I was a creeper here for 10 months until right before my surgery. I am glad I found OH. Thanks to all who post and share!
