These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things List (6 weeks Post Op RNY)

This is a list of MY FAVORITE THINGS:
       (I am six weeks post-op RNY)

*  JASON "thin to THICK" Pure Natural and Organic Shampoo and Conditioner
    I bought this at my local health food store
    They are packaged in a small, royal blue bottle with a white top and white writing
    Their web site is:  www.jason-natural.com
    I absolutely LOVE this shampoo and conditioner... I am so afraid that my hair is
    going to fall out and thin out in a few weeks, that I am babying my hair these days.
    I have been taking extra BIOTIN vitamins since my surgery and shampooing only every
    other day... and leaving the conditioner on for a minimum of two full minutes before rinsing.

*  The Magic Bullet Blender
    I paid $59.99 at Sears.
    BEST single serving blender EVER!
    Clean Up is amazingly FAST...
    You can drink directly from the container that you mix it in... WOW!!!
    Perfect for all of the protein smoothies we have to make each day...

*  DaVinci Gourmet Sugar-FREE Syrups
   $6.99 per 24oz bottle
   Make sure you buy the extra $2.50 'spout' for each bottle you purchase...makes it so easy!
   Shipping is FREE if your order totals $50... (I think that was the amount)
   My 6 flavors are all lined up like soldiers on my counter...It looks like a Smoothie Store!
   I LOVE these Sugar FREE syrups:
   vanilla (of course)
   cherry
   pineapple
   strawberry
   coconut (at the moment, I am addicted to this mixed w/Decaf Iced Tea... YUMMY)

*  Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
   17 slices per serving
   (I put 17 slices in separate snack bags, so, I can grab one as I am running out the door!)
   70 cal/ 35 cal from fat/ O sugar/ 9 g protein
   YUMMY...finally, meat with a little spice...

*  Eggbeaters
    1/4 cup= 30 cal/ 6 g protein
    I add a tiny amount of full fat (sorry) mozzerella cheese, salt and pepper...
    DELICIOUS... I am not able to eat all of this at one sitting...very filling! YUM!

*  Kellogs Protein Snack Bars
    170 cal/ 10 g protein per bar
    I LOVE the peanut crunch, the double chocolate, and I think it's called Chocolate Chip
    I keep these in my purse just in case my stomach growls... 
    I feel like I am having a candy bar... YUM!

*  Tylenol PM
    I have INSOMNIA...Can't you tell... (it is 1:05 am right now),
    Anyway,
    I take 2 every other night...

I hope you have gotten a few ideas from my list...Take care my fellow LOSERS...Goodnight! 

What a wonderful post. You are doing so well.  If I'm not mistaken, they still carry the SF Davinci Syrups at TJ Maxx too.  Thought you might want to know that.  Also, why the eggbeaters? I eat the real thing.  LOL  I love the microwave omelet maker and always added ham and cheese to mine,  YUM!!!  The magic bullet sounds great.  I always wanted one but never got it.  I will tel you I loved chicken salad, tuna salad, and homemade pimento cheese.  They are very easty on the tummy.

I can't sleep either.  Here I am been up since 2 am......ugh.....

Call me when you have time.....NOT TONIGHT.  I'm going back to bed.  LOL

Gotta try to get some sleep before heading out to work at 6:30.

Love you girl, Get busy on winning that lottery. hee hee!!

Coffee is a good thing, too.  You will find that it soothes your stomach.  The heat makes your tummy relax and coffee has a lot of antioxidents. (however you spell that). 


The highest protein bars are at Sam's... made by Premier.  30 grams of protein.  The double chocolate is best, but if you want just those, you have to order from the factory direct.

Most likely your hair will fall out and be thin for a while, but I don't know of anyone who has not grown their hair back.  Mine came back curly, not straight like it was before.

Splenda Blend is wonderful for cooking and your family cannot tell the difference.

Carnation Instant breakfast, no sugar added, is a great way to break up the routine and you can add protein powder to it for even more health benefits.

Peanut butter is great.  Real nuts are a little hard on your tummy for a while, but will become a favorite.

Carry various peanut butter and cracker or cracker and cheese stuff in your purse, in case you get somewhere and there is nothing you can eat or you get hungary and don't want much more than that.

Sugar free hot chocolate with protein powder and sugar free hot apple cider are good this time of year.

Don't drink orange juice or eat oranges.    It is the acid as much as the pulp.

Keep flavored yoguart for additional protein.  You can freeze the whipped kind.

I guess that is all of my suggestions for the moment other than popcicles.  I lived off of them for a year or so.

I love this, Lisa.  This is awesome for everyone!!!!  You are doing an awesome job.
