@annabananamc I, too, have been seriously considering a probiotic. I even switched from my Greek yogurt to Activia because of that. What are you taking? Or, seeing as I won't probably be able to get it here, what did you look for in a probiotic, since we are about the same age?
I asked my husband because he does the research. We use one called TruNature that they sell at Costco. They also sell it on Amazon, but you want to find it closer to home so it doesn't get overheated in shipping. You want something between 5 and 25 billion living organisms. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum and Rhamnosus GG are good organisms to look for. Other mixtures of the lactobacillus are also good. He says these are good for balancing your bacteria. And to do this in conjunction with a prebiotic diet - garlic, salads, onions, bananas, leeks, oats, apples, flax, asparagus, etc. to feed the bacteria. (basically unprocessed foods that aren't high in fat or meat fat)

@HASWLRS - You are amazing reading those 19 pages of posts! I am sorry for all of the difficulty you are having with your knee, and the hassle of the other tests. We are very happy your are back!3
-
Thank you, Sandra. They really are just a hassle at this point, but I am excited about physio on Wednesday! Time to advance the healing of this knee, instead of the holding pattern it has been in for the last four months!0

@HASWLRS and @annabananamc We take Entero CR, it has 10 billion. My husband swears by it, I haven't noticed any difference. Not in the way I feel or in my daily bodily functions IYKWIM. 💩 This one requires refrigeration. We had an OTC one from Walmart that doesn't but it did a number on my stomach. 🤢 You sort of have to play around with them to find one that works for you.1 -
Thank you, Sue. I was wondering about refrigeration versus non-refrigeration. And I guess I will just have to experiment with different ones to see what I like, or what likes me!2

You guys are giving me some interesting info on yogurt! I usually have plain Greek yogurt with berries and my SF sweetener, but I do want to go back to single serve cups for less meal prep... I will give them a look tomorrow at the store.
@HASWLRS i am glad to see you back and am happy to hear about your PT starting! I can imagine your excitement! Hopefully it helps a lot!!!
@richmondwriter I hope everything works out either you and your daughter *hugs*
@thedestar it does seem like a lot of us are having off/on days. We have a really good support group and we will make it through the rough patches!
@erikNJ I know the scale can be a funny thing. Just keep doing the right things-it shows SO MUCH that you were able to focused during a bad week! That's very inspiring to me, as I feel like I've been giving up a lot lately... keep doing the right things, you WILL get there!2 -

I finally got my treadmill and got it all set up today! There was a delay in shipping, so it came today instead of yesterday. It took almost three hours to get it all together because it was giving me problems... I took a couple trial walks/jogged a small amount to see what it could do. After, I took a 30 minute brisk walk and finally felt like I did something productive!
I also got a new Garmin delivered yesterday because I haven't been feeling fitbit lately. I feel like it gives you SO MUCH more information. I'm still learning how to use it, but I think I am glad I made the switch! There's a lot of interesting features to learn about!
I started our shopping list for tomorrow and am making it a point to write anything we plan to buy down. I've been too terrible with grabbing random snacks and treats, and this is how I plan to remedy it! If it's not on the list, we're not getting it!2 -

Not surprised...looking forward to a new week/new beginning!
Things are going better with my daughter - thanks to all for your concern!
@cmhubbard92 - So glad that you got your treadmill---and impressed that you set it up yourself!--and also the Garmin. It really helps to have the right "stuff" and to reward yourself. I bought two long-sleeved, very soft cotton shirts that I mentioned before and have been enjoying them for exercise, and also ordered the yellow jacket.
@mooreshelly09 and @DaffyGirl88 - You are so dedicated and consistant with getting in all those steps and exercise every day (in addition to tracking and staying under)! Keep up the great work.2 -
