Five day pouch teats looks great I am going back to the basics!

Thank you so much! What great advice!!

I have the same problem. It is a daily struggle for me. I went way off plan for a while. I am happy that I didn't gain any weight but I have not lost any weight in over three months and I know it is because of the food choices I have been making. I fear that I have stretched out my pouch because I can eat a lot more than I…

Wow, great for you! I have been off line and off my plan for quite some time. You introduction has inspired me to get myself back in gear and continue to lose the last 100 pounds of my goal! Melissa

Wow! What and inspiration you are! I had a hard time loosing much weight before the surgery. I ended up only loosing 27 pounds before. My goal for surgery was 23 pounds. I just had a hard time doing it. I think I did a lot of self sabotage because I would think this is the last time I will be able to eat this or that so I…

I hear you on the protein shakes. I couldn't even last 5 days eating nothing but those!! I transitioned to greek yogurt for my meals to get my protein. I am now transitioning to ground/pureed foods one meal at a time to see how my body does. I am only a week out of the hospital, but I needed something different. So far so…

Thanks for the feedback. So far so good. I have started having tuna and chicken salad for so variety and I am taking it very slowly. I am in the process of transitioning to stage 4 the ground and pureed foods. I am having trouble finding fat free mayo so I am using plain nonfat yogurt to mix with the canned tuna. I usually…

what did you do to survive the shakes for two weeks. I think I am going to puke if I have to drink one more!

I am a huge fan of sauces. I was at Target today and I found some great sounding sauces that are low fat and very low sugar. I am looking forward to sautéing, steaming, or baking different proteins and them brushing these sauces on to make the food moist and tasty. I am sure you have already tried many thinks but maybe not…

Has anyone ever tried to use Good Stuff's Powder peanut butter in this recipe? I like that product, hard to find except in specialty stores. Also could one use sugar alternative like Truvia, Splenda, or something else instead of the sugar. I know that Truvia has the granular texture of real sugar so you would still get…
