Protein Shaker Cups?!

8 March, 2010 (11:32) | Food, Life, protein | By: Lisa

I am still making my way through my stack of protein that I have bought and have decided maybe it is time to get one of those protein shaker cup things.  I know what they do and what they look like but the few stores I have remembered to look for one at did not [...]

I Have a Gym Membership!

24 February, 2010 (18:22) | Exercise, Food | By: Lisa

I finally have healed from my lower back injury and have the go-ahead to start going to the gym.  I got a trial membership and went to an hour of Zumba followed by an hour of pilates.  I was sore for a couple of days but I was proud of myself for making it through [...]

Luna Peppermint Stick Bars (and my affair with the UPS man!)

12 January, 2010 (18:40) | Food, product review, protein | By: Lisa

As mentioned before, I read on Melting Mama’s blog about these Luna Peppermint Stick Bars and I bought one to try because her review sounded so good I wanted one immediately! I took it with me to my first day of classes (I know I should have eaten before I left for school but [...]

Protein, Protein, Protein

6 January, 2010 (13:44) | Food, protein | By: Lisa

I’ve had problems with protein supplements since surgery.  Basically- they make me puke.  The ones that don’t make me puke make me feel so sick to my stomach I WANT to puke!  So I am on this quest to find a protein supplement that tastes great, doesn’t have a million carbs in it, and doesn’t [...]

Tonight’s Dinner Was Delicious (Tabbouleh)

22 December, 2009 (00:36) | Food, Recipe Review | By: Lisa

Tonight’s dinner was yummy!  We used boneless chicken thighs and cooked them with onion, garlic, shallots, and red bell pepper and served it with a variation of tabbouleh. We didn’t have bulghur wheat so we used brown rice.  We also added some zucchini and roasted eggplant as well.  I used this Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa [...]

New Project: An Online DS Nutritional Calculator

21 December, 2009 (01:56) | Food | By: Lisa

As I have mentioned before, with the type of weight loss surgery that I have had (a DS- duodenal switch) I have malabsorption.  I have tried pretty hard to journal my food (write down everything I have eat or drank during a day) so I know how many calories, fats, and carbs I am putting [...]

Tastes Certainly DO Change After Surgery

20 December, 2009 (07:35) | Food, WLS | By: Lisa

Before I had my duodenal switch I did not really enjoy spicy food.  Sometimes even Taco Bell was just too spicy for me!  After surgery I just can’t seem to get enough of the spicy stuff.  I have been putting red pepper flakes on practically everything!  I also seem to be able to just taste [...]

Product Review: Isopure Zero Carb Alpine Punch

20 October, 2009 (02:10) | Food, product review, protein | By: Lisa

With all of the protein drinks I have tried I always taste the whey isolate and do not particularly find it appealing.  I am getting ready for my liquid diet before my surgery and was reading up on what I am allowed to have while on the clear liquids.  The Alpine Punch flavor of Isopure [...]

Product Review: Crystal Light Sunrise Ruby Red Grapefruit

10 October, 2009 (13:00) | Food, product review | By: Lisa

The last time I went grocery shopping Crystal Light products were buy two get two free so I bought four containers of Crystal Light.  Apparently Crystal Light has new packaging- the containers are kind of oval shaped and the powder is in foil packets (like Kool Aid) instead of little plastic tubs.  That is all [...]

Recipe Review: Potato-Celery Root Soup

8 October, 2009 (14:25) | Food, Recipe Review | By: Lisa

I love to watch the Food Network, especially shows like Iron Chef and Good Eats where I learn about different kinds of foods and food preparations.  One of the vegetables I have always wanted to try was celery root (also known as celeriac).  It is one of the ugliest vegetables I have ever seen but [...]
