Topic: RE: R U Accountabe? CARb Accountability Thursday!
I've used the rice papers. Try them with a sushi roller to get it all to stick together. I can't remember how I did it, to be quite honest.

Exactly like wobbly kishkes!! My little Sleevie just hasn't been happy for two days and feels like I have a wiggle worm in there where my stomach used to be. So yup, wobbly kishkes! I was raised on Yiddish. My parents barely spoke english when I was born and never spoke it in the house, even after I was growed up. :)

I put about 1/4 cup almond milk(or other liquid) in an oversized mug. micro it for 30 sec.
Heat 1 cup liquid in another cup in the micro for 3 min/
While that is heating i put one spoon of stevia in the raw in the quarter cup milk,then 1 spoon unsweetened cocoa powder and then 2 scoops protein powder. I use a whisk to stir and whisk that together really well.
When the milk comes out,I put one spoon of hot milk over in the protein slurry while whisking. I continue to put a spoon at a time while whisking for about 4 spoons. this "tempers" the protein mix so it won't curdle.
I then can pour the rest of the milk in with no problem.
Another little tip,I bought a "candle warmer" at the thrift store for a dollar. I keep my cup on the candle warmer and it keeps it warmer. I hate it when it gets too cool.

No detail for me today. I'm taking a break for a few days. I've upped carbs to 25% and max 100g as I plan for the comming week.
I've done my usual workouts but I keep it indoors. Feel better.

Topic: RE: weight stalled when I introduced carbs to diet!!!
There are links to info on different low carb plans in a getting started post above. Your experience is not unusual. Many of us low carb because even the "good carbs" have a negative impact on our progress.
I suggest tracking your food and exercise so you know your daily calorie deficit and exactly how many carbs you're getting. This also gives you concrete information to discuss with your surgeon or nutritionist. Being less than 90 days out, there should be some guidance available to you.

Topic: weight stalled when I introduced carbs to diet!!!
I was banded 12/15/10 and have been losing weight nicely...but I seemed to be the same weight for the whole month up and down the same 2 or 3 lbs.. I have farina or oatmeal for breakfast with blueberries/ egg salad or tuna or something like that for luch and dinner is always a problem..I eat more than I should and then that leads to wanting saltines or SF ice cream or cheese..I need some kind of direction and where can I get a diet to follow so I can continue to make progress. Any help would be great....

No exercise for me. it has just been too cold and I don't have the proper outerwear for these kinds of temps. Our winters are usually mild.

Welcome to the weekend!!!!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo!
For me, it's more of a woo hoo, as I have a very bad headcold, and as soon as my family has eaten dinner I am planning to head to bed and stick my head under the covers for a few days.
Today I had coffee, soy milk, a coupla eggs, and some cheese. It could have been straight chocolate cake, there was so little of it that it wouldn't have made much of an impression.
That's it for me, but I still really enjoy reading the posts of what all of you have been eating, so let it rip, ladies and gents -- Whatcha been eatin'!
And has anyone gotten in any exercise in the last few days? Because I've slept so much that I want to enjoy your fun and play vicarously.

Topic: RE: Upset stomach and carb cravings...
Phyllis, let me be the first to say that eatng to feed your healing is of primary importance. When I am sick or dehydrated, my body craves tomato juice, and my best stomach ache cure is plain yogurt with mashed banana.
When I'm really sick, I don't tend to eat much, and if I'm in the worst of it, I'm too tired to even swallow. I suspect that in the short term, your body is telling you what it needs to get well, and you are doin the right thing by listening to it.
You can always get back on the low-carb wagon when you feel better.
