any suggestions on alternatives to coffee?
Truckerchic_M replied to binkymarie's topic in Food and Nutrition
Avitae caffeine water comes in 2 strengths one has as much as a soda the other as much as coffee. Very nice clean tasting water and doesn't give me heartburn the way coffee does -

Truckerchic_M replied to toy27's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Unjury protein'd cheese sauce added to a bit of soup they also have a chicken soup flavored protein that is pretty good...you can get a sample variety pack on their web site to try some flavors and they have a lot of recipe ideas -

Feeling TOO good after surgery?
Truckerchic_M replied to mamamareli's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Why shouldn't you feel good? I can understand being sore or some discomfort after but your not sick, most of us are probably pretty healthy the day of surgery. And mentally, which plays a part, this is one of the best days of our lives. So yeah feeling good should be normal, just my thought -
You can get sugar free ones at walmart, they have a few flavors, its a way to add different flavors to shakes, yogurt etc..I also use baking extracts.. couple drops of banana flavoring in a chocolate shake mmm

Not sure ages of your kids but focus more on just getting moving than a structured work out plan since you say your really out of shape..have activity hour where you and your kids dance, toss a ball, hop scotch any type of movement not only will it get you moving but get some kid energy out and be fun. Also do you have a ymca maybe swimming with them

Truckerchic_M replied to cookiebun's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Fitbit vs Bodybugg vs Bodymedia vs Jawbone Up
Truckerchic_M replied to ToniRenae's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Ya because of my job and lifestyle I don't get much if any exercise in a day heck some days I do less than a 1000 steps so I needed something that focuses more on what my body is burning in a day ...since everyone is different I didn't want something that just followed a formula. On the days I work I burn about 2200 calories in 24 hours...the days I'm home I burn 3000 or more just doing everyday life things not exercise....the other trackers don't work that way -

Fitbit vs Bodybugg vs Bodymedia vs Jawbone Up
Truckerchic_M replied to ToniRenae's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Ok I did some reading, hard to find reviews on the flex, you would think when they unveiled it at the tech show they would have given some out to fitness mags to use and review. But the main difference I'm seeing is the fitbit estimates your calories burn and you only get credit for movement. Bodybugg has sensors that contact your skin to monitor the temp of your body along with other things so it's tracking your body function not just if you moving or still. Example -I drive truck, with any type of pedometer device it counts steps when I am driving and sleeping because it registers the bouncing of my body so not accurate but even though my bug records steps the same way if I sit and pedal it also measures how warm my body gets as to the level of activity I'm burning. Sorry this was long I like the look of the flex and the no fee just not sure if it would work for me have to wait for reviews for you guys lol! -
