No Z, found these on an old thread, but when I want to know what is in my food I use this website called Calorie Count Recipe Analysis...

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php?process =resubmit&count=17

Let me know if you need anything else...


Take care,
Kathy

Thanks I did not know about this website.

THANKS!  I printed those off so I can start finding ways to get my protein in.  At almost 8 mo out I still don't tolerate much meat.  So I don't get nearly enough protein in.  Thanks again.

Your Welcome

Wow, I just bookmarked that baby! :)

1 scoop vanilla protein
8oz milk (I use Hoods)
1t Vanilla SF Torani
1 Packet crystal lite lemonade.

Mix with ice, and try not to cry from the yummy :) 

oop that sounds AWESOME!!!

Thanks for sharing

 These sound fantastic! I am going to try each and everyone! I am so excited I have found this place. I have been in such a depression. I had my RNY Jan 24, 2005 and maintained my 163 pound weight loss (318 to 155) for all that time. I went thru a nasty divorce and started a new relationship and in between it all I got off track, WAY OFF TRACK.  I started having some weird symptoms like getting dizzy, hot flashes, feeling like I was going to pass out, confusion, I could hear people talking but nothing was sinking in, like millions of camera flashes going off in front of me and this would happen a lot after I would eat. I felt panic and had to eat, I would eat and feel better. Well this routine got me to my present 187. And to numerous doctor appointments and finally to a very excellent endocrinologist that deals with gastric patients.  He told me my eating habits have made me into a Severe Hypoglycemic! And it was my wake up call! I almost died on one episode I got woken by my new husband (thank god!!!) and my sugar was only 32! I don't remember most of that! Thank god he knew what to do! He took my sugar 32 like I mentioned, I had Glucose Tabs which somehow he managed to get me to take ****pt passing out) and then when I was more aware had me eating protein I tell you it is something you don't ever want to do to yourself! And because of our new body make up we are very prone to this disease. But we can control it by sticking to our WLS Eating for life!  I have to deal with this affliction for life now. And it don't feel good! At least I can control it by eating by the WLS way of life for the rest of my life.  But I need help and support and I do have it from my family and most important my husband, but I need it from those who are there and been there and who understand first hand. And I want to be there for others. Too.
