Congradulations Stacy on your Surgery. I was so glad to hear about your surgery at Gateway that is where I"m having mine June 17th. I start the protein drinks tomorrow...not looking forward to that but that's what has to be done. How did you get through it. My husband had his done about 3 months ago and is doing fantastic. He has had none of the complications talked about in some of the posts I read on the internet. I hope I'm as lucky. Best wishes

Hi all!
Many have emailed me wondering what "snacks to share" means for the seminar.

First of all, just want to remind you that there's a breakfast option at 10 that all can attend.

And...there's tasting from the Food Presentation.

Soooo, the "snack sharing" is just a mingle/break time that we can share a healthy nibble to hold us over until dinner at 6

There isn't a kitchen so you can bring something iced in a small cooler like:

cheese plate
fruit
veggies
healthy dips:  greek yogurt with seasonings
shrimp ring
chicken salad
deli sliced rolled

non iced snacks:

protein chips
nuts
protein bars (sliced in bite size)
peanut butter protein balls
pork rinds (atkins diet)
turkey pepperoni chips (nuked, cooled and bagged)


Check out your grocer for something fun to try.......Just remember that your snack should only serve about 8 other peeps or we'll end up with a HUGE room full of leftovers!  LOL!  Remember that we all have wee tummy's.

I used to nibble on ThinkThin bars. You can find them at Fry's and Whole Foods. They have tons of flavors, 20g protein and 0 sugar. The dark chocolate is awesome but was giving me a little acne so I now nibble on Atkins Advantage Peanut Butter Granola Bars.  I can only find them at Hi Health. They have 17g protein 1g sugar (0 sugar alcohols). The Pure Protein bars were good too, but again the chocolate in all those bars make me break out.

 I got my first fill today and feeling a little sick. Normal and too be expected or not?
