Laura, Instead of caprisuns have you tried koolaid coolers? They have some that are low calorie (10 calories) and taste pretty much as good as the original ones.

Are they already packaged??

I like the sugar-free kool aid (with splenda), but I have to make it.. and 1. I don't take drinks 'on the run' very well unless it's packaged. 2. the sugar-free kool aid tastes bad to me after a day in the fridge, so I never drink it all.

If they're already packaged, I would definitely like to try them!!

I never was into the shortbread Cookies until I started buying 100 calorie packs.

I haven't tried the lorne doone, and whatever brand that is, that makes the cookies thin and crunchy (oreos, chips ahoy).. they're ok, they taste good, but I don't really like the texture.

Some other brand makes Shorties Shortbread cookie 100 calorie packs. These are WONDERFUL. They're hard for me to find though, so I've been out of them for a while. And Pepperidge Farm now makes 100 calorie packs.. trouble trouble! I bought their Chessmen cookie 100 calorie packs, and I still think the Shorties were 10x better!

Haha, I HAVE to get some of those TODAY.

My poor husband, I have made him stop at the store so many times in the past week on our way home from work.

We have 4 boxes of Caprisun left he bought last time he went by himself, 2 were 'my flavors' 2 were 'his flavors', but I've been trying to get him to drink mine so I can stop being tempted. His intentions were good when he bought them, but I hate having them all in my house.

I need koolaid jammers!!!

Those are very yummy.

The 100-calorie packs that you can get are good, too. The oreo ones are delish, especially if you are like me and like the chocolate cookie part better than the center.

lauren is that possible??? lol.... :Banane30:

I love the grasshopper ones....yummmy....

My favorite sweetsnack is low calorie pudding, and mix it with fat free coolwhip---yummy and very low fat. Hits the spot for me! :)

You know, my g'ma makes angel food cake and puts chocolate cool whip on top (I don't like normal cool whip). But the chocolate one tastes like chocolate mousse, its soo nummy.. And I was looking, the calories are only 25c tablespoon. 3 tbsp would be a decent little chocolate mousse.

Any of you cool whip eaters ever tried freezing it? Does cool whip freeze well?

I'm debatin gettin the chocolate and freezing it for chocolate ice cream.

My mom has a low calorie cool whip desert. A big container of fat free cool whip, a can of cherry pie filling that's been chopped up, and a small can of crushed pineapple. Mix it all together and freeze or eat as is. It's very good. I can't remember if she added chopped nuts or not.

Lauren-I've made that before. It's called Cherry salad or Pink Stuff. We also put a can of fat free eagle brand milk in it but that does add more cals and sugar. You can make it with or without nuts. It's great!

My friend makes a pie with crystal light and cool whip. It's great. I'll have to get the recipe.

She uses lite pie filling. The serving sizes are pretty small, too, but they'd be perfect for bandster Snacks.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
