~~posted by Jen I saw these last week at Wal-Mart and decided to pick some up and give them a try. Since most of us have a hard time tolerating bread unless it’s very thin (like the Arnold Sandwich Thins or Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Bread) this looked like it might work well for WLS post-ops. It absolutely does! I …

~~posted by Jen My good friend Liz (LizDotCom99 on OH) is a protein snob, and she’s the first to admit it. Over this past year and a few months since her surgery, she has struggled to find a protein powder she liked and would actually drink. She’s one of the few people on Earth I know who doesn’t like Click! …

~by Nikki Oh Yeah! Chocolate Peanut Butter Wafers Now that life has settled down a bit, I’d like to get back to reviewing some of the things that folks have sent me over the past few months. Next up…Oh Yeah! wafers. These came by way of a very good friend from Arizona (she knows who she is). I was excited …

Grilled Cheese!!! ~~posted by Jen First, a disclaimer (I seem to be doing lots of these lately LOL): Our cool friend Melting Mama reviewed this same product awhile back, and I am certainly not trying to shirt-tail her by reviewing it here. My purpose is to help others in the WLS community avoid spending money unnecessarily and then end up not liking …

~~posted by Jen Obligatory Disclaimer:  Let me start by clearing up a common misconception about Mahi Mahi, it is NOT Dolphin. It is a fish nicknamed a “dolphin fish”, here’s a link with more specific info about what type of fish it is. Sauteed Mahi Mahi Burger with Greek Yogurt & Salsa “Remoulade” Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite stores, they have …

~by Nikki Not that we eat bread or anything. Nooooo…I don’t eat bread! Do you eat bread? (well maybe just a little…) In all honesty, I do occasionally eat bread. But the main reason I don’t most of the time is because it’s bulky, it takes up too much room and it makes my stomach hurt! On the way to …

~ by Nikki I will admit…I was skeptical about this stuff. But when my friend Nessa’s hubby, Brian, picked up a jar of the stuff at Trader Joe’s, I gladly joined (read: forced myself upon) him in giving it a try. The stats on it are pretty good. Lookit: Yes, yes…I know…PB2 has lower stats. BUT…PB2 isn’t peanut butter, no …

~by Nikki So, as many of you know, because I have a HUGE mouth, I have been going through some things lately. The only thing that amazes me more than how much “stuff” life can throw at you is how generous people can be in response. Folks learned I needed protein powder and I got boxes and boxes of the …

Be patient…I want to go through this whole experience of trying Vanilla Click. So…I get the package and am ridiculously excited (as evidenced by my post). My first impression of the canister was that I think they should have changed up the packaging a bit. I mean this is New! Vanilla Latte! CLICK! If Click were sold on a shelf …

So anyone who knows me knows that in the beginning (of my surgical process) I was a certified, card carrying CARBOPHOBE. Yep…I would not go near starches…was offended at the thought of bread or crackers and cookies??? Are you nuts??? Well today I do a fair amount of starchy stuff. Most of it is Frankenfood specially formulated to fill my body …
