Protein Shake!
I had this for dinner last night cause I really wasn't hungery...
1 packet of Chocolate Instant Carnation Mix
1 cup of skim milk
2 small scoops of natural peanut butter (less sugar)
Few ice cubes
Put it all in a blender...
*Yumm*
I'm guessing around 23 grams of protein! It's even better with the chocolate then vanilla mix!!
Hey there Katie,
That sounds pretty good. I am still pre-op, but I am trying to keep a list of everything that sounds good that gets posted on the board. I have been kind of draggy today. Did I tell you I got my test results back from my doctor? I am anemic and I have to continue taking iron for another month. I want to eat twice as much. The same day he tells me I am anemic, he also tells me that I have sleep apnea and he scheduled a sleep study for me for the 30th of September. I will also be getting an EGD and colonoscopy done in early September. Never ending story. Oh well, life goes on. I will be coming to Knoxville to spend the weekend on the 13th and 14th. I'm not sure what hotel we are staying in yet. I just know it is near the Cracker Barrel and the ballpark. We will be watching the church league softball tournament all weekend.
My mom is anemic too, Debbie! She has to take these huge ass iron pills! The thought of taking those pills before/after surger - makes me wanna barf! I hate pills, of any kind, shape, size! LOL!
But gosh, with all these doctors appointments - I can't believe there making you wait till February! Ugh! Stupid doctors! I wish you luck hon! Let us know what all the results say!
By the way, the sleep study isn't that bad - just really annoying trying to sleep with a ton of wires on you though but I know you'll do great!
I think I have a good idea where your staying in Knoxville but I could be wrong! Very wrong! LOL! If your anywhere near Lovell Rd. - Make sure you stop by SUPER TARGET! You'll love the store. LOVE IT!
Ohh if your gonna be eating double - Eat some pizza for me! I have this craving for it, its awful! I tried a lean pocket pizza... No luck!
Take care chickie!

Hi ya Katie,
Yep, I for sure know about the hugh pills. That is what I am taking now. And they taste terrible. I will be looking for the Super Target. That sounds like a good place for me to go after the ballgames. We always stay at the ballpark all day and if we are winning, we end up staying most of the night. I will have to check out the pizza too. I will let you know when I come back how good it was. LOL My insurance company is making me wait six months. I guess they must like paying all of these bills for me. OH well, their loss. My gain. I should know by the time all these dr's get finished with me if I have any major problems.
Debbie,
You'll have a great time! There's a ton of stores near super target, all brand new too!
Sorry about the 6 month diet though - just think its almost over! I still can't believe it's already August! Gosh, time just flies by... Expect today - I swear this process was going so fast and today it feels like its gonna be a billion years before I get ahead.
Ugh Stress! LOL!
Take care,
Katie
Sounds yummy, Katie.
