Welcome to the babble!

Warning: I talk a lot! About anything and everything. I don't hold back. So buckle up.

in 2010 I got the gastric sleeve and I couldn't be happier with my decision. My new life has finally begun!

Finally in 2012 I got my life's wish of being pregnant. Now this blog has transitioned from random blabber, to weight loss, to being a new mommy.
It's ever changing and ever evolving, just like me.

Ensure high protein

Well I bought some. Chocolate. I'm drinking it now. Its not bad. Tastes like slim fast and does have a bit of an after taste. But practical stuff: its $9.99 for 4 bottles vs $20 for a 2 week tub of my protein powder, its 14oz for 25g of protein vs 8 oz  for 31g of protein from my protein powder. I mean i'm halfway through the bottle and i don't even want anymore. So realistically it doesn't make sense for me to get these.

They're good for my husband though. He can easily drink them on the way to work where as with the shaker bottle of protein powder its a little more of a hassle for him. But again, at this price i'd just buy a giant pack of slimfast.

I also bought those Glucerna butter pecan shakes. They're small, with 10g of protein and 6g of sugar. I figure they'd be good as snacks (not to replace a protein shake).

And I bought these:



What I really wanted was these :

But they didn't have them in the store. so i got the first ones. i haven't tried them yet. i'll let you know.

  1. I've tried all those Atkins Bars. They keep me going when I'm low carbing it. lol My favorite are the Balance Carb Well peanut butter chocolate bars. You can find those easily at grocery stores/Walmart.

  2. I like those Atkins bars a lot. Never tried that flavor - my favorite is the caramel nut Endulge ones as a treat. I love them. I also like the nutty fudge brownie ones. They're a little high in calories to eat all the time, but when I really want a treat, they're a better choice than a Milky Way bar.
