Happy Belated birthday!
Thanks for starting this group. It really helped me get my eating back in order.

Topic: RE: Supplements?
I had RNY so I already supplement a lot. But when I go on the induction phase - really low carbs - I add extra vit B's and C's. B's and C's are in carbs and veggies, fruits. I want to make sure I get enough. I also make sure I get more fiber - and magnesium. There is nothing good about getting constipated on high protein diet. Magnesium helps me going. I use Mag oxide in capsule form.
And plenty of water.

Waffle Recipie
I make this every weekend. My children (13-19) do not even know that there is no flour. I don't know where I got it from as the top of the page was cut off when I cut and paste it and I didn't know it.
Gluten-Free Waffles
6 eggs, separated
6 ounces of cream cheese
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 scoop vanilla protein powder*
Preheat waffle iron. Spray with non-stick coating (or oil-paint the plates with a pastry brush prior to heating).
In one bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). In a separate bowl, mix yolks with cream cheese and protein powder until smooth. Add whites mixture to the yolks. With a long wooden spoon or long, metal iced teaspoon, carefully make a sine wave through the mixtures to blend them carefully. Turn bowl and repeat sine wave (You're trying to just barely blend. More blending will naturally occur as you scoop to pour the batter).
Once the waffle iron is sufficiently heated, pour scant quarter-cup measuring cups with batter into the maker (don't overdo it, or overflow may occur). Allow waffles to cook sufficiently. Four-six minutes for the first waffles, minimally, should be observed since they seem to need more time. DO NOT OPEN the waffle iron until the first waffles have had a chance to cook. It seems that after the first waffles, all others require closer to 4 minutes per waffle on average.
Serve immediately, or you can freeze and toast later (on a low setting).
Can be served with fresh, whipped cream.
Makes 12-14 Belgian/rectangular waffles.
Nutritional information per 2 waffles (1/6 of recipe): Calories: 192, Carbohydrates (no fiber): 1.8 grams, Protein: 6 grams, Fat: 7.5 grams
