The one thing I really have to say about this diet is that I am FULL.  Full as in when I first had my surgery and I ate half of a container of Wendy’s chili – that kind of full.  As opposed to now, when I can eat the whole chili and a side salad,…

The flavor is there, all the components for a delectable little snack are in the container.  My only complaint is that I unpacked everything, put it all in the fridge, and took it out expecting to eat it, but the whole wheat crostini was a whole wheat soggy 😦 The snack, Charred Lamb Loin on…

On the menu this afternoon is a Hearty Lentil, Turkey Sausage, and Brown Rice Soup.  The broth is light and delicious, and I actually finished all of the broth.  The turkey sausage had a really nice blend of spices to it so you really did feel like you were eating “sausage” as opposed to “turkey…

This is the kind of breakfast you thought you’d never be able to eat once you were gastrically altered.  And it was so, so good. Breakfast today is Ricotta Cheese Crepes with Caramelized Bananas and Chocolate Sauce.  Sounds like dessert, right?  And it tasted like dessert, too! Again, no instructions, so I wasn’t 100% sure…

On Take your daughter to work day, our guest Disney movie review if from Eilis – Hey mickey peeps! Any age for Oceans if your 1 or 100 you’ll love it. Some rare 1 left fish. Gross and cute and Big and small. Hallmark pics, heart warming. Hope you all love it!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries.  ‘Nuff said.  Who couldn’t love a diet that offered chocolate covered strawberries as a bedtime snack or dessert? So the dessert is Chocolate Dipped Strawberries with Creamy Vanilla Ricotta Cheese.  If you’ve ever done the South Beach Diet (yeah, another diet I tried and failed), this is like the ricotta cheese dessert…

This is my first complaint.  And I guess it is a layered complaint, so maybe that makes it multiple complaints. First, there are no instructions.  Now, normally, if you cook something yourself at home, then reheat it the next night, you know what to do.  And for me, because of my gastric bypass surgery, I…

Oh. My. Goodness.  Talk about hitting the ball out of the park!  That’s how I would describe my afternoon snack on The Fresh Diet www.thefreshdiet.com ! I’m a bit of a tomato snob, being a Jersey girl and all.  Anyone will tell you that we have, by far, the best tomatoes anywhere in the world. …

My lunch today smells so good, I am drooling just thinking about it!  I ordered the Asian Style Chicken Salad with Baby Bok Choy, Watercress, Alfalfa Sprouts, Water Chestnuts and Sesame Soy Dressing.  I could have used a straw to slurp up the dressing. As with breakfast, there is a component to the lunch that fills…

Today’s breakfast from the Fresh Diet is described as a Fresh Fruit Salad with Apple, Blueberry, Kiwi, Papaya, Watermelon and Apricot Yogurt.  The fruit smells like a sweet heaven when I open the container, even though there are a few squashed blueberries on top.  I picked them off, and moved on. I love fresh fruit,…
