Meal Prep?
Hello! It has been awhile since I've posted anything, but I had the sleeve surgery on 12/16/14, had a 15lb regain and am trying to get back on track. I'm just finishing up the "reset diet" which seems to be helping and I have lost 10 of the 20lbs I'd like to lose to reach my goal! I was wondering if anyone does meal prep…

Slow Cooker Ham and Lentil soup
I just tried this recipe from allrecipes.com, it was yummy and had a decent amount of protein for a lower amount of calories. I did add a can of diced tomatoes, used the lower sodium chicken broth, and I didn't have 11 hours to let it simmer so I cooked it on high for 4 hours, turned out great so I thought I would share!…
