Awesome things I am getting this week!

(You can click on any of the following pictures to see them larger.)

This is a Protein powder highly recommender by a fellow WLS person who has Gastric. She says she spent 9 mths trying things that tasted either bad or like "monkey ass", haha! After coming across this one she fell in love! Now I think she's 2 yrs post op and still uses this brand. She cooks w/ it in everything from shakes, smoothies, cakes, puddings, pancakes, rolls, muffins, donuts, etc. A ton of uses.

I am buying this this friday. It is however, $50 for a 2 lb tub but I think it will be a good investment. Her blog is here ---> http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

Here is the nutritional info for the Protein powder. I will give a 100% honest review when I get it. This powder can be found at https://www.seipharmaceuticals.com/products/Max-Protein.html#
Also recommended on her site is the bento lunch box. Hers is the original one and is larger. I feel the biggest difference w/ lapbandsters and gastric pt's is that they can actually eat MORE food than us, when we are at our optimum fill. So the original bento has 5-6 comparments to put food in. This is another bento box but smaller. This one only costs $15 and I will be investing in this this week as well. You can tell how small it is by the grapes. And it does come w/ a utensil and a carrying case...Pictured below.

This is the whole sha-band you get for $15. These can be found on www.amazon.com by searching for "bento lunch box".

This is a protein cereal she recommends. It is supposed to taste like honey nut cheerios but w/ added protein. They come in 1 oz. indivdual bags that are 100 calories and 9 gms of protein. I love honey nut cheerios so I will get this as well. This can be found on amazon as well.

This is a surgar free vanilla syrup from www.amazon.com I will be purchasing for my homemade coffees and capaccinos. Yum! You can also use it in your smoothies, cakes, and any desert recipe.

I thought I'd end this blog with some food porn I will be torturing myself with later today. Here is is a lazy Sunday afternoon as I enjoy my french vanilla capaccino w/ 2% milk and it's only 77 degrees outside today. I'm going to be making a "better than sex" cake this afternoon to take to work tomorrow for my friends birthday. It is chocolate cake, holes cut in the top, pour on top sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping that has been melted. then you do a layer of cool whip as your "icing" and add crushed up Heath bars to the top. You refriderate and serve cold and the heath bars get all soft and chewy.OMG good! I will allow myself a tiny sliver at work tomorrow. It is sooooo good but also sooo sweet!

Sorry about the food porn after all that "healthy life" stuff. I'm just excited to make it b/c it's been over a year and it was one of my Nanny's favorites. *Love you Nanny*!

Peace & Good work-outs,

Liz

P.S. I have a new work out plan. I feel like I've already told you ladies b/c I put the news in all 8 of my unsuccesful vlogs, haha! Buttttt, my plan is to jog every weekday morning from 4:30am-5am before my kids get up. This is something I can finally attempt since I now live w/ my parents. They wake up around 5 or 530 or on their best days 7, god who really knows! I figured 430 would just be a safe bet. We'll see how it goes. My PLAN is to START Monday morning, on 11-09-09!
