I am sure most of you remember the good banana pudding!! with the Nilla wafers and banana slices and sweet banana pudding? I just stumbled on to a tasty yet safe way to simulate it!! You'll need: 1 box sugar free Jello instant banana creme pudding 2 cups 1% milk (or whatever milk you can use) Apple Cinnamon Soy chips (I found Revival Soy Oh My Apple Pie in 1 oz bags) Make your pudding according to instructions on box. Than simply layer it with the Soy chips as you would use Nilla Wafers. Or if you are feeling lazy like I do, DIP THEM lol It's simple, it's sweet, and it has about 15 carbs 3 sugars and 140 calories. Plus the soy chips have protien 7 grams per bag!! I hope all enjoy!!

I know why I am at a stall, I hope it works out. Was talking to my nutritionist, and she fussed at me (along with my hubby fussing at me too) that I wasn't eating enough calories. I thought my 600 to 700 I was cramming in a day was great. But with the amount i exercise, she told me it was like starving myself, and making my metabilism suck. Yeah, I have only lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks and that is why. So I must find a way to shovel in more food to get up to 1000 a day. Yay me!!!...

for those of you who track their food in a log, you can go to fatsecret.com and it puts up your food intake and they have almost every food imaginable, you can choose your portions, and it counts it all for you!!! Plus it counts your exercise log too and how many calories you burn with what exercise you choose!! It's great!!

It seems no one has family values anymore. I feel your pain, and am so sorry you are going through it with your family. My mom and dad passed away in 08, so i just have my mother in law and brothers in law. They live like maybe 5 minutes away, and they couldn't even be bothered to visit me when i was in the hospital. Mom was poopy cuz she had to get my son off the bus one day when my hubby came to take me home. Now it's like if i didn't have internet, i wouldn't see them at all. Even my son who is 11 and shouldn't know these things says i guess we will see family on the next birthday or holiday. So I hope things smooth over with your mom. It sucks that family has to be that way. I think you have values like me, family is supposed to help out, no questions asked, no problem, no bitching etc...And all that stress can actually make you gain the weight!!! It sin't good for your heart, mind, life!! Try not to stress too much okay? Stay safe Karen S. -

I have found veggie burgers
I can't eat meat, but I am going to eat the closest thing to it lol. They're actually pretty good. 170 calories and 17 grams of protien :) -
Hey, I really hope you feel better. You're still early out yet and emotions will run all over the place with this surgery i found out. I couldn't drink the shake either with milk, that is what made me hurt so bad. Even the soy milk and lactose free milk hurt my stomach so bad. It sounds gross, but try it in water. That was the only way i found to get it down without pain. ONce you get the protien in, you will feel so much better!! I hope this tip worked for you, this is a journey of trial and error, there will be a lot of times you feel helpless, and a lot of times you feel great. But just keep in mind your goal of a better you My well wishes are with you!!

Ok, this one came as a complete shock to me. I am one and a half months out of surgery, and I must share this with women who are suffering like me. There are not too many, but I suffer from a bizarre array of Pre-Menstral Symptoms. I don't just get the bloating, and poopy face (mood swings lol) I get nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, headaches, and serious cotton mouth. It lasts for a bout 3 days each month for me. It seems worse now witht hte sleeve, I can't just drink a bunch of Water, take my stomach med and go sleep for 3 days. I was feeling particularly gross yesterday. But I had to get my protien in. Well, after I drank my protien shake (I double up on the scoop) I felt totally fine!! No nausea, no cotton mouth, headache went away poof!! It lasted for 8 hours throught he day, then it started to come back, i drank another shake, and gone again!! Maybe it's just me, but if you have bad PMS symptoms like I do, try a protien shake. See what happens. It's a god send for me, I hate taking medication, and maybe after 7 years I can finally stop taking them!! Just thought I would pass that along, hope it helps at least one person. Cheers to all, and good luck on your journey!! K
