Recipe Sharing is up and running!

Hi Everyone:

Well, as promised, we have a new way to make your weekly meal planning not only easier but to keep variety in your planning too. Each week each member joining in will contribute one recipe. That's simple enough, right? It needs to be a high protein recipe that is flavorful, quick to prepare or at least easy to put together (for example for crock pot if it's not a quick fix recipe). You'll post your recipe to that week's Recipe Share by Friday at 7:00 p.m. This will give

How can you participate?

Hi Everyone:

You know how many emails we get and answer every single month. Lately, in particular, we've had a lot of emails from people that used to be on our old MSN group. What a shame it was when MSN closed down all of their message boards. We couldn't control it or stop it so we did the best we could be starting a new message board and Facebook group both.

Others just didn't have the inclination to search for and plan out meals for a week. This got us thinking, why not make it a groiup effort and simplify this. Share in the task and the variety.

So what do I mean

Choices and Priorities

by Melissa Parish on 05-07-2010 at 11:03 AM
You know we talk to thousands and thousands of WLS patients and read even more thousands of emails. We hear the stresses and the life stories that get in the way each and every day. The things that "keep" people from making good choices . . . at least that's their words to us. They tell us, very sincerely, about how they don't have "time" to eat the right things or how they don't have "time" to take their vitamins or how they don't have "time" to plan a meal

Why We Don't Count Calories

by Melissa Parish on 05-06-2010 at 05:09 AM
So many are used to years and years of dieting and dieting mentality that it's hard to break those old routines and the old one way of thinking and looking at food and the way we approach it and control it. You can imagine people's shock and surprise then as we were constantly asked how many calories a day they should stick to and we constantly told them, we don't count calories, ever. You read that right. We don't count calories at all. Now I'm sure that one has you scratching your head and wondering,
