A big THANK YOU and some food finds...

I just wanted to thank everyone *****sponded to my one-year surgiversary post! Your support means everything to me, as I still seem to be struggling with body image, not reaching my goal, and ideas of "success" after surgery. I hope to see everyone soon at Angela's and/or the RW meeting! Also, has anyone else tried those Tide Me Over drink packs from South Beach? They have 30 cal, 0 sugar, 5g fiber and 3g protein per packet. I have tried the Tropical Breeze flavor (there is also Strawberry Banana) and it's yummy! I add it to my 32oz water bottle and it is slightly thicker that regular water and does seem to be a bit more filling.  For any bagel lovers in the East Bay, go to Krazy Korner Bagels on Rt. 6 in Seekonk and get some of the low carb bagels! These things are AMAZING, are only 100 cals and have 8g of protein each. I could only eat half of one until recently, but they're great for a change of pace and some guilt-free "carbs". My favorite is spinach, but they have about 10 other flavors. My kids love them too, and they are a lot healthier for them than "real" bagels. Have a great day everyone and stay dry. Happy Presidents Day!

Hi Krista! I hope to see you at the next set of meetings as well...not sure that I will make it to Angela's but I will definitely be at the RW Support Group on the 28th.

Thanks for the info on the food find...I was going to post my own food find today, but I figure that I will just add it onto yours. Yesterday I found 100 calorie packs of beef or turkey jerky at WalMart!!! The packs are 100 calories, 6 grams of sugar and 14 grams of protien!!! I bought a bunch of them!

Hope you all try them!

Hi Laura,

I have one of those Strawberry banana drink packs here that I got as a sample and havent tried yet. Guess I'll have to do that soon. I didnt know about the tropical one, so I'll have to find that and try it. Thanks for the find and dont worry about your struggles Krista, I think we're all going to go through that in one way or another and thats whats so great about this board. We'll all be here for you. 

Those sound great! Are they the only two flavors available?

South Beach FOods is still doing a free sample on the drink mix and the granola..You can get it off their website http://www.southbeachdiet.com/sbd/publicsite/how-it-works/co nvenience-foods.aspx and then go to Free Sample. It looks like they only have the 2 flavors.

I just went out there and they ran out of samples for today, but it said to try again tomorrow, just in case anyone was going to try it tonite. 

The last couple of times checking it, still no samples to be had. Oh well. I appreciate the thought though! I know, A bit belated on post.
