Do you have a blender? Make yourself some legal smoothies. I'm cutting out dairy for now myself, but before that, I was making smoothies like this

4 oz heavy whipping cream or half and half.
2 to 3 raw eggs. (I do wash them off, and have never had any problems with this)
2 packets of stevia
4 to 6 strawberries, or a half cup of blueberries/mixed berries.

This makes a wonderful smoothie. It is not slimy either like you might think.

Now I'm using Designer Whey since it has stevia, and I use the cranwater, 2 packets of stevia and some fruit. It's really good too.

There are some really good sugar free ice creams on the market too, so don't let this trip you up!!!

There are also recipes for different types of "ice cream" on this site. I've made a couple, and while they're not exactly Ben and Jerry's, they do taste good and will probably help you hit the spot after the gum surgery. I feel for you, I've had that surgery a few years ago and it sucked! Ask for pain pills though, if nothing else you can sleep the pain away!

Good luck everyone! I really want to see onderland! Last time I lost weight I hit 199 for a few days and just quit - I did that with LF and went out to celebrate the weight loss with food - DUH, that was dumb! This time I'm celebrating with something like new clothes, massage, hair cut/color, manicure! Much healthier!

Also, having had numerous dental surgeries myself... you may not be able to use a straw. It depends on what you're having done.

My HB had his wisdom teeth taken out not to long ago. They were great, he really didn't have problems. I think he took his pain meds for 4 days. He had the surgery on Friday morning and was at work Sunday night. Said he was fine.

I want wonderland, so I started a new food diary, with STARTING OVER printed on the front and first page. I also put my stats, goals, and diet plan in the front cover. Don't want to forget! I loose the same weight over and over again, I can loose the same amount, just keep getting lower. I want wonderland too!!
I have found that I tend to crave just as much with LC sweets. I guess I'm not fooling myself much. The best I've found is whipping cream and splenda. Eat it like ice-cream, it wont take long and the fat has my stomach turning and I cant eat the sugar after that. Just got to get rid of the extra cream, I will keep eating it!

I am so in on this! I would love to be in onderland by Christmas! I've been at a stall for 4 weeks! Hoping my cheat this last week will kick me in to moving again!!!

Hi everyone, how is your start to the week? I did good yesterday and today. Time to get back in the swing of things!!!!!!!!!

Been there, but they didn't do that! Actually, they broke the tooth and took it out. (NOT a nice noise....*cringe*)

My DH had 5 wisdom teeth, and one was "invading" his nasal cavity. So, when they pulled it, in addition to the usual wisdom teeth fun, he also would get a bloody nose. Even with all that, after about 3 or 4 days, he was fine. Your mouth heals really fast.

I have 5lb to go to be on the border of ONEderland. I've crossed this border several times, only to slip back over with much more ease than crossing...

I've been having one hell of a time tonight. No breaking plan though! Hate them cravings and bordom eating.

Hi all! I've been doing better but not great. DH will be back on Friday from his three week work trip and I'm feeling better, happier. The scale hasn't moved but I'm optimistic this week will end well.

Aah wisdom teeth, it brings back such painful memories. All I remember is I had the surgery three days before Thanksgiving (worst Thanksgiving EVER) and that's when I found out I was allergic to penecillin. Lots of ice cream and I think I had cold soup.

Here's another smoothie recipe that you might like. It tastes just like an Orange Julius (found it in the recipe section ages ago and still love it)

2 oz. heavy whpping cream
5 oz. crystal light sunrise classic orange (premixed with water)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
crushed ice
Blend until smooth!

Hi Ladies!

Ugh, well I've been playing with this same 3 pounds for weeks now. Weighed in about 3 weeks ago at 209.5, then bounced up to 212... today - my weigh in day - puts me back at 210...

I'd really like to see the scale tip down to 207 and let me earn my 20 lb star already!

Come on Onederland!

One things for sure... once I get there I had better be good because I don't want to see the 200's ever again!

Good luck everyone! Sounds like some of us at least will make it! (even if it's not me ROFL)

OK, this sounds SOOOO Good! What kind of protein powder? Is it LC? Where do you buy it? This hwould be a great breakfast on those mornings I just can't stomach another egg! (oh and I love Orange Julius!!!)

Don't know if this helps, but I use Designer Whey Protein powder. It's low carb and is sweetened with stevia. I get it in the Publix grocery store and in Winn Dixie.

I use Jay Robb's Vanilla Whey Protein. I buy it at my local grocery store (Kroger) near the diet section but I believe I've seen it at GNC if I remember correctly. One scoop has 1g of carbs, 0g sugar and 110 calories.
