    Protien bars

    It was changed this month. I am so incredibly sad. They keep saying it is for the better. But the ingredient change is not for the better and I am so sad. I don't want corn in my Quest bars. If I wanted corn anything I would just eat corn :-(

    Also if any of you are feeling hungry first have something to drink, water or a warm tea (calorie free) often slight dehydration feels like hunger.

    I had a hard time with that one, but I was told over ice (watered down) it is better. costco has Premier and let me tell you I am VERY talented at mixing things up with them. I have been drinking them for over a year and a half twice a day and I am not sick of them yet. :-) I also tried Inspire, its a bariatric company. They are more expensive but I liked them a lot, mixed either in Water or unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 cals a cup)

    When looking for a Protein supplement I look for less than 200 cals (but really not more than 175) 23g of whey protein or more very little fat, less the better and no more than 2 sugars, including sugar alcohols

    I drink and have drank Premier Protein, it has a much higher protein content (fills you up and really helps with EVERY thing to have high protein). You also want to watch the calories and sugar in the other Protein Shakes. There are many other good bariatric protein supplements that have much better numbers and will keep you much more satisfied.

    How can I get my family in my corner?

    I took my family to the seminar, and they were a little more scared than before. But after a lot of questions and arguments and a lot of tears on my end I told them I was doing this and they could either support me or not. In the end I had surgery and some were more supportive than others, but after I am still me. I am still their family and they love me. Maybe that part of my life I just don't share as much with but truthful I talk about what I want and don't care. I have been very successful and am so incredibly healthy there is nothing they can say. What? It won't work....really? because I lost 115lbs. you wont be healthy, really because my labs are more healthy than EVER and defiantly more healthy than yours.......still have more to say?? how's that diet coming...again. People often don't like change and it is a fear of the unknown. Not only the risk of surgery but the unknown of how things will turn out. You changing your lifestyle and being successful sometimes intimidates others. There are so many possibilities, but in the end you need to do it for you and no one else.

    Extremely Fertile

    Talk with your Bari doc and OB. As long as you are getting in the healthy nurturance and your baby is growing it should be fine. I have also been told it is only a 300 cal increase. but reach out to your team and let them guide you.

    Breakfast menu?!

    poached egg or very soft moist scrambled. the goal is to not be rubbery. I made one over easy once and cooked the white a little too much. I threw it out and started over. It is not worth the tummy ache to save one darn egg. I did wonderful with eggs but I made them very moist. Scrambled eggs I always mixed unsweetened vanilla almond milk to puff them up and keep them moist. It took a lot of practice but a poached egg is heavenly. That far out I would only be eating 1 egg and if you can't finish it, that is okay. eat slowly and small bites chewing until you can't chew any more, wait, then try and other bite. as soon as you have a full feeling, stop eating.
