I just celebrated my one year anniversary and do not regret the surgery one single bit. Only wish I had had it sooner. I have lost 100lbs. and feel great. Is it possible for me to gain it back? Absolutely. But I took the time that was needed beforehand to research the surgery and knew what I was in for in the long run.…

Born and raised in Ottawa but living in Cobden, Ont last five years. ~

This is my go to recipe for potein smoothies. I just switch up the fruit. You can omit the protein powder which would lower the numbers. The only sugars are from the fruit so all natural. Makes 2 cups. 1 cup skim milk 1/2 cup Danone Silhouette 0% stirred greek yogourt - vanilla twist 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 1 scoop…

Good for you for wanting to try loosing weight without surgery. I had gastric bypass Sept. '12 as most of my weight gain was due to medication and eating right and exercising was doing little to get it off. If for some reason you do decide on surgery, maybe consider rny. It has a much higher success rate than the lapband.…

I make my own protein smoothies every morning for breakfast. You can use any fruit you want. Makes 2 cups. 1 cup skim milk 1/2 cup Danone Silhouette 0% stirred greek yogourt - vanilla twist 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 1 scoop Bulk Barn whey protein isolate 90% - plain 1 packet Stevia 1 tbsp. each ground flaxseed and chia…

Borrowed this from someone on another site.

I use 2 tbsp. on my toast or celery with no worries. Agree that you can fit it in as the stats aren't high. Just get one that is all natural. ~ cal180 carb6 fat14 protein8 sugar2 fibre2

Wise use of limited space. They love me for that. A spice rack adorns one side of the stove (also little cupboard storage) with my purse usually in front of it and the other side hosts the toaster, a beautiful glass coloured bottle for my olive oil just given to me by my sis and bro in-law plus two sealed glass bottles...…

I use both ground chia and flax seeds in my morning smoothies. ~

Borrowed these from someone on another site. Many have fruit but not all. And many times you can't really taste the fruit. Enjoy. ~ Almond Peach Delight 1 scoop vanilla powder, 1 ½ cups skim milk, ½ -1 cup frozen peaches, ½ tsp almond extract, ½ tsp cinnamon Apple Cinnamon 1 scoop vanilla powder, 1 ½ cups skim milk, ½-1…

Great job... you look amazing! I, also, had gastric bypass surgery and have lost 100lbs. total though my loss took longer than yours. My surgery was Sept. 2013. I have been stalled for the past two months but hoping to break it and loose a little more. Goo luck in your continued journey. ~

I use premier protein shakes and bars from Costco. Great tasting and much cheaper than the ones from health food/nutrition stores. ~

Almonds, cheese sticks or baby bell, turkey pepperettes, Greek yogurt, peanut butter on an apple or celery. ~

Thanks. Going to have to try this. Have had gastric bypass as well. ~

Cobden, 1 1/2hrs. west of Ottawa where I used to live. Welcome. ~

I had weight loss surgery so stay between 1000-1200 calorie range. Most of my eating is protein. Feel free to add me. ~

Fibro sufferer here and know exactly what you are feeling. It takes all the energy I have on some days just to get out of bed and stay awake during the day not to mention cooking meals. I do not exercise on a regular basis but try and go for walks or use my recumbant bike when I am feeling up to it. Used to do aquafitness…

Your daily protein goals are all over the board as is your actual intake. You definitely need to increase your protein, especially if you are active all day. Your body may be in starvation mode which would explain why you aren't loosing any weight. ~

Just realized that I am missing the rest of the recipe. Sorry about that. I presume you just add the sauce and black olives and heat, ~

Got this from someone else. Eggplant In Tomato Sauce 1 eggplant, sliced into rounds about 1/2 inch thick table salt 1 small red onion sliced 1/4 cup pitted and sliced black olives 1 jar tomato sauce ( I used Ragu Chunky Vegetable Primavera) sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste olive oil, for sauteing ( about 1…

Toyota RAV4. Absolutely love mine. Minimal maintenance and very good mileage for an SUV. My sister had a Honda Pilot and loved hers. Can't go wrong with either, especially if you buy one used. ~

So wish Trader Joe's would come to Canada. For now I have Costco which is pretty good but nothing compared to what the rest of you can get. ~

I was previously involved with two medically supervised weight loss programs and both stated that any decaffeinated drinks can count towards daily water intake. I can't handle the taste of plain water so drink Crystal Light all the time. ~

I use a non flavoured whey isolate 92% protein powder that I get at my local bulk food store. No chalky flavour whatsoever. Use it every day in smoothies. For pre mixed shakes, I drink Protein Premiere which I get at Costco. Here are a pile of smoothie recipies that I borrowed from someone on another site. Enjoy ~ Almond…
