Protein shake a day

My new resolution is to try to have a shake a day, or at least some sort of solid protein (ex. protein bar, shake, no carbs…)

Today’s shake was this creation, and I must say, I love it.

Protein shake of the day:
Lime Berry Cream Shake

1 c. skim milk (or water, soy whateves)
1 scoop vanilla fusion (or whatever protein powder you like)
1/4 c. frozen berry blend
1 tsp. of SF lime jello mix
1 tbsp. of SF cheesecake mix
1 package of true lime (or fresh lime zest if you are fancy)
ice cubes galore

Splenda or whatever you use to sweeten it up a touch

blend, top with SF whip cream if you like (or whatever you choose!) 

This one is tart, but so good.  It masks all taste of protein in my opinion. 

In other news, today the mister and I went to the Buffalo Soup-fest.  It was delicious and filled with tasty tasty soups.  Most of them were of the low-carb type even!  I tried a lentil one, a vicychoisse (??), Dijon Carmelized Onion, Polish Sausage and Kraut, Zuppa Toscana, and of course, Chicken Wing.  I could have tried to pack more in, but it got so crowded in there, we bailed.  Nice turn out I thought though! 


Anywho – happy shaking :)

The ugly truth

The truth is...I'm in recovery. The other truth is emotionally, I'm a disaster. I haven't written in here because the truth is, losing libby was originally about weight loss surgery and how much weight I've weight I lost. In the past few months, more emotionally damning crap has happened to me, my family, my parent(s), my brother, and many people in my ever shrinking circle. I am an addict. I am well educated. I live in the suburbs. I have a child. I have serious mental health issues. I tell you all of the ugly in an attempt to hold myself accountable for the things I have done, the things I have put my family through, and most important...what I have done to myself. If you would have told me five years ago or so that I would be unemployed, filing for disability, and doing medication assisted treatment for addiction...I would have laughed in your face and said you were crazy. The truth is, like many other Americans, I'm not the only one. How d

The ever disappearing blogger...

The disappearing blogger is about to go where some WLS patients have gone before. MOTHERHOOD. Holy shit people, I'm having a baby! The nugget will be making his or her debut on July 23. I will post some pictures once I edit them. I have been feeling a little on the nutty side lately. The past few months have been a battle of hormones and overall unpleasantness. I'm really not sure why, other than, one of the things that happens when you are almost 2 years out, is your tool sometimes escapes you. Meaning one day, it is super easy to eat...a lot. I find myself using pregnancy and the hormones as an excuse to eat eat eat. I have gained 4 lbs so far, and I find this pretty much unacceptable! When I went to my OB doc, she expressed a very good understanding of the gastric bypass patient, stating that it takes 300 extra calories a day to make a baby. Therefore, I shouldn't worry too much about weight gain, especially since I am still, overweight. I took that apparentl
