This makes great pulled pork BBQ's and is so easy. Just once try it the way the recipe states and if you aren't happy with the results you can add your own ingredients, but I am sure you will love it. You can always add BBQ sauce to it on the bun if you have diehard fans of BBQ sauce. I personally like it plain with…

30 pounds in a month is fantastic...

Don't get discouraged...you didn't get heavy overnight and it will take a while to lose the weight. Every one is different. You just had the surgery and remember you will keep losing and within a year you will wonder why you doubted the surgery. If you follow what the Doctor advises you to do , you will get there.I had RNY…

I love salmon patties and they are high in protein. Drain a can of salmon, add an egg, some s&p and about 4 crushed low fat wheat thins. Form patties and heat in a non-stick pan (no oil) until heated through and slightly browned on each side. I make a sauce for them by heating 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (the one that is 23 grams…

I mixed instant coffee with the water before mixing the protein powder for the shake. I then pour it over ice and it's like a McDonalds iced coffee. It helped me because I gagged with the shakes but somehow lived thru it...

I made this for my friend for her birthday. She is diabetic, and she loved it; It is so moist, I say it's a cake not a bread. BANANA SPLIT BREAD Diabetic Version 1 1/2 c white flour 1/2 c granulated Splenda 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 c ripe bananas, mashed 1/2 c egg substitute 1/2 c no-sugar added applesauce 1…

I have a great recipe that doesn't sound to good but once you try it, you will love it. 16 oz. fat free cottage cheese, small curd 1- 3oz. box of sugar free jello, just the powder don't make it into jello Our favorite is lime flavor. 1 small can crushed pineapple in its own juice, undrained 16 oz. Cool Whip Free Mix the…

I used to be a Coke-a-holic. I could drink a liter bottle of Coke like people drink the small bottles of the stuff. I gave it up pre-surgery with great difficulty and now don't even desire pop. Once you have the surgery your taste changes. I know mine did. Once you give it up and if you taste some later on, you won't even…

Sugar-free Torani syrups. or any sugar free syrup. They have some in the Dollar Tree stores, but they aren't Torani Brand but are good. If you mix the syrup with a scoop of protein powder and the Greek yogurt, it makes a great dip for apple slices. Also to make a spicy dip for veggies or on potatoes if you eat them, mix…

I too had hair loss and nail breakage and brittleness. I found Dr Lessman, Hair, Skin and Nails formula on HSN and got it and it has worked so well. I take 2 a day and my hair is thick and my nail are 100% better condition. Not trying to sell the product but it worked wonders for me.

I too have had a few cases of dumping syndrome. I had something made with brown sugar Splenda in it and it just about sent me to La-La land. I felt dizzy, flushed, hot, excessive saliva (I felt like I was foaming at the mouth) and nauseous. It is nothing I want to experience again. I didn't throw up or have loose stools. I…

if you are monitoring what you are eating, the weight should start falling off. Make sure you are getting your protein first and enough fluids. I had a hard time with getting the protein and didn't like the protein shakes but came up with a great recipe to have the shakes. Mix some instant coffee in the water before you…

any flavor of Torani sugar free syrup is great. If you add the caramel flavor you can dip apple slices in it. Also add Mrs grass chipolte salt free seasoning to Greek yogurt for a veggie dip.

It's so easy to comfort ourselves with food. That is my problem. I am trying to stop this habit of eating when I am stressed, bored, nervous, upset or just awake. I love to cook and this makes it even harder to be good. I tried to come up with a plan to help me break the habit and I say to myself "it's not going to taste…

how do you post pictures on your blog or reply to others

Hi, I just started this week. I came across the site by accident and am glad I found it. I like the food and exercise logs. I had gastric bypass Dec. 2009 and was 309 and am now 159. I was as low as 154 but am putting a few pounds on which I don't want to do. A lot of people think surgery is the easy way to lose weight but…

If you miss ice cream try this. put 2 or 3 peeled bananas in the freezer until frozen solid. I cut them in chunks before freezing. Then put the frozen bananas in a food processor and process until they form ice cream. Scrape it into a freezer container and keep frozen if you don't eat it all before storing. All banana and…

I have 2 great ideas as I love cottage cheese but needed something else besides fruit. The first is a dessert/salad recipe. Take a 16 oz. cottage cheese fat free, add a 3 oz. box of sugar free jello powder and a small can of pineapple packed in it's own juice and mix well until it is all colored from the jello. I like lime…

Kashi Golean cereal, the one with 13 grams of protein is really good. A cup of the cereal with a cup of skim milk is low calorie and high protein. I eat this at least 3 times a week. I found if you increase your protein you will lose weight more quickly. The protein builds muscle and muscle burns fat. It works for me.

A really healthy snack is to have plain Greek yogurt with a bit of sugar free caramel flavoring mixed in it and dip apple slices in it. You won't believe how good this is. Just make sure the yogurt has 22 or 23 grams of protein in it. Protein makes muscle and helps burn fat. This is also a good way to get more fruit in…

I'm new to MFP and after 3 days of using the food and exercise tracker have found out I am taking in too many calories and by just making simple changes have decreased the calories way down. This site has the best tools for people to monitor their food intake. I would like to lose 20 pounds and I know if I keep track of my…

Those low-cal flavor paks aren't good for you and I think they just make you thirsty. I found this "spa" water recipe on Just a Pinch recipe site and it is really great. I have a Zero water pitcher to filter our tap water. Our water is horrible and has a lot of lime and other minerals in it, so I got this filter and it…
