  • Thank you all for your kind words of support. And best of luck on your healthy living goals.
  • Haven't had the chance to read all the pages since I last posted, but two thoughts occurred to me: 1. For those who keep reiterating that the OP should treat her husband like an adult rather than a child...the irony is that when the debilitating effects of diabetes inevitably take hold, her husband will most likely be…
  • Oops...I meant TJs, not TDs (time for bed).
  • I haven't tried TDs protein powder yet, but Whole Foods no longer carries their soy brand, so I will be heading over to TDs to purchase theirs. You're right, $10 is a really good price. (WFs was about $13) Thanks for the tip!

BTW - I love your profile page and your statement about spending years saving other lives and finally prioritizing your own. Very inspirational. Keep up the good work.
  • Don't mean to highjack this thread, but has anyone tried Whole Foods Soy Protein Powder - Vanilla Flavored. I want to begin adding a protein powder to my smoothies, but can't do the whey (dairy).
