I really, really love Brown Cow yogurt - it's not low in sugar, but it's all natural. No artificial sweeteners or stuff like that, and it tastes fantastic. So imagine my delight when I discovered them making Greek yogurt ( Read more... )

I've had more than one incident lately where I've mentioned something in passing to another WLS'er in comments, thinking that everybody knew this thing, only to find out that it was news to that person. It finally occurred to me that I might have a lot of information and resources that could be useful to other WLS'ers, especially considering that I ( Read more... )

I met a lady who works at a local health food/vitamin store and she gave me this bar for free last Sunday. I was afraid it would be disgusting so I didn't eat it right away. I was short on time this morning so I ate the bar for breakfast on my drive into work. I am very impressed. It has a yummy deep chocolate flavor with a berry undertone. Xocai ( Read more... )

ARE DA BOMB!

Seriously. How come I have not tried this brand before? I have always gotten the Lucerne Carb Watchers ones... which are higher in fat and calories.

Healthy Choice Fudge Bars are only 80 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 13 grams total carbs with 4 grams of sugars, 100% delicious!

I tried a new shake from GNC today. It's Lean Body, Vanilla Ice Cream flavor. 17oz has 260 calories, 40g protein, 9g carbs, 9 g fat. I paid about $3.50 for it at GNC.

It's not the worst shake I've had, but it has an aftertaste that I can't abide. It would do the trick in a pinch, but I don't intend to buy it again.

I had fill number six today. They gave me .6cc, which brings me to 7.4ccs in a 10cc band. I can swallow liquids fine, but I am TIGHT. I don't want to think about solid foods right now. It makes me wonder how the next few days will go because it seems to me like I get tighter in the days after the fill, rather than looser. Anybody else experience ( Read more... )

Have you guys ever tried any of the Aidell's products? Costco was having a "road show" last night and I tried some of their products. They are phenomenal! They taste great, are high in protein, and are nicely portioned for a smaller tummy. Here is a link to their site for anyone who wants to know more... Aidell's

This was my breakfast and I wish it hadn't been. I almost didn't the bar because the calories are a bit high, the protein a bit low, and the sugar is a bit high, but it was on sale (the magic words) so I gave it a shot. It wasn't awful tasting, but it wasn't "fudge sundae" either. My big problem was actually how hard it was to chew. I have mild TMJ ( Read more... )

There are totally, totally yummy!

Quaker Protein-Enhanced Chewy Granola BarsThey only contain 5g of protein each, but they're only 110 calories and I find they're a great snack when I am really craving something sweet (vs. 250 calories or more in a candy bar) or really wanting peanut butter (at 100 calories per tbsp ( Read more... )
