IMG_3854.thumb.JPG.8f321273a5e26bd2371554818394a195.JPG I tried to tackle things that we use often without thinking that makes us fat. To make a difference with carbs and calories intake to then allow myself to use those calories for better dishes.

That is smart. I don't think to jot stuff down...I can only imagine all the stuff I've forgotten. Good for you hon. I think I'll try the tea alternative. Only because my coffee isn't all it's up to be these days. I think it's the ridiculous sweeteners. Meh. Thanks for sharing!!!

They are inspiring. Behind a great man is a great woman. @Apple1 @Newme17 we salute you. @mishyk i second everything you said.

Awwwww so sweet!! I'd like to think a woman makes the man. 😂 Funny fact: while my husband and I were dating (he didn't want to stop the partying and I was tired of it all) I broke up with him. My mother in law was very upset with him about it. He begged for me for a few weeks until I gave him another chance. Lol. My mother in law tells me every time we get to talking, you are a blessing to a Robert. You helped set him straight. 😂

Indeed. Lol

Lmfaoo woww cheff status.. the presentation looks so nice. Too bad I'm allergic to shrimps.

No!!!! Allergic?! A good friend of mine is. She loves them too. She was crazy though. She actually prepared herself to go to the ER just so she can have some shrimp. Now that was a bit much. But I'm sorry you are. They can be so good!

Love salmon. I had tuna fish today i did pretty good with 2oz had to do in three parts but it was done plus i jazzed up my Water and made limeade with true lime and equal sugar. Got 60 grams of Protein in also.

I almost decided on tuna. I feel like I'm slacking on trying new things though. You did great on Protein. I confess, I haven't counted today. If I have to guess it'll be about 45g. I'll try harder tomorrow.

That is so funny.

My dh has always been the quiet shy type, very introverted, I guess what they say about opposites attract is true, because I am very social.

lol... yes that is my husband to a tee. He is the nicest person you will ever meet and he would give you the shirt off his back, just don't ask him to go to go any big social gatherings... he hates that.

Good night @newme17. I have just been using Listerene. It seems to work a little better than brushing alone.

I'll get some Listerine strips to carry with me then. That should help. I hope they still sell them.

Good morning everyone.

I am shopping for an elliptical machine this weekend and I am wondering if any of you have any advice on a good brand? I don't want to break the.bank, so I am looking to spend $1,000 or less. I hate going to the gym, but I need something that will give me a good workout from home. I don't think just walking is enough.

In other news.... I decided to add a few frozen strawberries to my Protein Shake this morning so I threw it all in my ninja. It tastes great, but the ninja added so many air bubbles. There is literally 2 inches of froth. This is making it hard for me to drink. I am stirring and drinking and burping. Aw well I learned something this morning.

I hope everyone has a good Saturday ☺️

Good morning. NordicTrack and Precor are the ones I know of that are pretty good. Provided you want to spend all the $1000...some might be in the $700 range though. Also depends on if you want all the extra gadgets on them too. You could always go with a cheaper one, under $500, but might need to really look in to reviews and how long they may last, etc. Do you have a fitness equipment store that allows you to try the floor model machines in your area? That would be a good way to determine as well.

I don't like frothy drinks. I can imagine all the air already. lol. Bet it's good with the strawberries though. I'm eating cream of wheat with cocoa powder and stevia added. I need to add in my green bombs (frozen ice cube sized blended mix of kale, spinach, ginger, green apple, avocado, and cucumber) to a Protein Drink later. I miss my fruits and veggies...I'm actually cleared for them on Monday but I think I'll start early and see how it goes.

Well, I thank you. Tuna, has always been my love and go to food. Enjoy. You guys rock. It can be done the bulk of the Protein comes from pre made Premier Protein 30grams and i have muscle milk 20 grams.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
