Your chili sounds good Linda. I ate a lot of refried beans with melted cheese and strained salsa on top when I was in the pureed stage. Didn't take much to make me feel satisfied.

Make sure that you are getting in all of your fluids Kathy. I had a bad fall when I passed out at 6 months post-op and they thought it was low blood pressure due to dehydration.

Thanks, CC. I'm sorry you passed out; that must have been so awful.

I almost always get my fluids in. I've only messed up a few times since surgery. My blood pressure is actually still a bit high and the doctor things when I exert myself too much with exercise, it's going up a bit more. I told him I was concerned it was my water pill as that made me dizzy before at higher doses, and I thought maybe losing so much weight meant I need a lower dose. He agreed, so he's lowering that one, but prescribing something else for my blood pressure (my water pill wasn't for blood pressure but for water retention).

I have to monitor my blood pressure at home now too :-(.

OK Birdie, you win. I officially have cravings for breakfast for dinner now. The rest of your menu looks good too. Love your protein numbers.

Costco was crazy. They did however have Greek yogurt, plus a different plain yogurt with chia seeds for samples. I put some coconut pineapple water enhancer in the plain yogurt and I was a happy camper. That will make up for me not having my SKYR with chia today.

Well I have to thank you for telling me about Bolthouse dressings!! Just had a salad made with butter lettuce ( which I prefer) and their creamy ceasar. I ground lots of fresh pepper on top and some zerto parmesan. Fabulous. I would serve to company instead of the high calorie dressing I used to use.

Good to know. I've never tried their Caesar, only the cilantro/avocado, but I will give that one a try.

What store are you finding Bolthouse in? I used to buy it now and then at our Loblaws owned store and haven't seen it anywhere in months now.

Longos, which is a local chain.

Sobeys might carry it. It's seriously delicious. I normally despise diet dressing but it's wonderful.
