I tried something interesting that tasted very good today. I normally buy plain greek yogurt and put in a little vanilla and splenda to sweeten it (I can't for the life of me find greek yogurt without sugar sweetner). I dumped a little cinnamon in there this time along with the usual vanilla and splenda. It tastes awesome! I'm surprised the yogurt makers don't have this as an offering. It rocks!

I will give that a shot!

And thanks for the Moe theme. It makes me smile to see the familiar face that occupied so many of my childhood TV hours.

...pick 2.... boink! :)

I'm a relatively young Three Stooges fan at age 38. Born and raised in the Saint Louis area (home of Joe Besser). The local WB affiliate used to play 3 Stooges every Friday night from 11 to 1:30 in the morning. My parents had a VCR and that baby was recording them every Friday night. I own a complete collection of the Three Stooges shorts and movies now.

Yum - I need to try that. Thanks for sharing:) I'm born and raised in the St. Louis area (still here on the Illinois side). Do you still live there?

I did this as soon as I could have yogurt and I thought it tasted AMAZING!

Nope. I'm a Texan now! :-) And loving every minute of it! I grew up in Sparta, IL, lived in Belleville, IL and Maryland Heights, MO. My wife and I left Maryland Heights in 2003.

I don't measure it, but it's just a tiny amount. Maybe a quarter teaspoon in 4 oz of yogurt. One or two packets of splenda and however much cinnamon you want.

I've been flavoring my own plain Greek yogurt for years now. I have a local spice shop and there are a few that seem to go over well in our house. I'd suggest using whatever sweetener you use and the following to taste.

pumpkin pie spice with a hint of vanilla

Apple pie spice + vanilla

Chai spice with vanilla or sometimes I've used almost extract

Lemon and lime zest

Those all sound good, I'll have to try them. The Chai sounds very yummy.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
