Who knew...Almond Milk

Mar 14, 2014

I am very old school when it comes to milk, but I had to try something new as a mixer for my protein shake.  Unsweetened almond milk is the answer.  So delicious without adding a bunch of sweetness, which gets old after a while.  I added a little Truvia for just a dash of sweet, and it is perfect.  I don't get tired of it halfway through.  I don't have to "choke" it down and actually look forward to it.  

Just curious, does anyone make smoothies with vitamix?  I am thinking it will be a good way to get fiber as well as needed nutrients in liquid form.  If so, how soon after surgery can you start them.  I have a call in to my nutritionist about it, but wanted a wide range of opinions.  Any really good combinations?

Feeling good, but my mind is much more industrious than my body will allow.  Gotta keep watching the size of my sips, bad habits die hard.   Walking feels great, stretches the muscles.  So far so good.

for the record, this procedure has left me with a very different feeling tummy.  The restriction is like a cement road block, reminding me to slow down.  I can't wait to incorporate some eggs and cottage cheese into my diet.  Liquid is good, but not a forever thing.  I have high hopes for the outcome of this journey, ready to discover new things.  I already joined planet fitness, in anticipation of working out a little next week.  

I am having a great honeymoon, however, not lost any weight, in fact still 5 lbs above surgery weight.  I'm not worried though, it'll go when it goes.  Happy Friday to all!
