During the honeymoon period "Bad" carbs will slow down our losing but most of the time we don't realize thats even happening  because we are still losing and we "think" we are getting away with it, but worse than that,  "Bad Carbs" lead to bad habits and  then when we get to maintenance we start gaining.

Do you take Prilosec or Zantac?  My surgeon put me back on mine a week or so after my WLS.   I recently didn't take it for about a week and my tummy was upset, gurgled, and had a hunger knawing feeling.

I am on Nexium and realized that I had been forgetting to take it. i am making sure I take it (at the higher dose the dr told me to take) and see if that works. It is still queasy so I am just taking it easy on pouchie today.

Afternoon ladies!  So, I got the Mint Cookie Protein in last night and had to try it, and I loved it!  I have always loved mint, so I knew I probably would!  I am having that for dinner tonight I think since we are getting in late.  I also got in my order Sweet Nature sugar replacement (like powdered sugar) for baking, I am going to try making no sugar lemon bars soon: http://www.bariatriceating.com/BErecipes/recipefiles/dessert s--low--no-sugar/lemon-bars/227/index.html  I will let you know how they come out!

YES...please tell us how you like the sugar replacement.  How do you make your Protein Frosty?  I just haven't had any luck making shakes.

Good Totals!!!

I put 8 oz of water in my blender and 2 scoops of the protein.  I whizzed that up so all the lumps were out then added a whole bunch of ice cubes and whizzed that up until it was frosty consistency.  It was so yummy!  My 4 yr old tasted it and wanted some!  It really made a little too much, so tonight I will try 4 oz's of water, 1 scoop protein, and 4-6 ice cubes...so basically cutting in half what I did.

I can't wait to try baking with that powered sugar...  I loved baking before surgery.  My Mom (who is diabetic) and Aunt are coming over next Wed or Thurs for dinner so I will make them before then to serve for dessert.

Where did you get the Mint Cookie Protein?

Where do you get the mint cookie protein, I would like to try it.

I got it from Netrition, I like that they have a flat shipping rate.  Here's the link to it...it is tasty!  http://www26.netrition.com/syntrax_matrix_page.html
