Hiatal Hernias, Quinoa Rice...

There's some important things I've forgotten to mention, just little tidbits.

I have a hiatal hernia.  That means part of my tummy got stuck on my diaphragm.  Fortunately, Dr, Basa can fix that while she's working on my tummy!  Two for one surgery!

There's a protein based grain called Quinoa.  It's pronounced Keenwah, but I'm letting my family pronounce it any way they want.  I've eaten some of it.  It's funny looking, and doesn't have much flavor.


We found protein chocolate bars that don't taste bad, and they're in our grocery store!  They're called Power Crunch.  They cost the same as a normal chocolate bar and they are much better for you.

We finally caved and bought a giant bottle of protein powder.  It's whey based.  I mixed it with milk.  It tastes like cocoa.  I couldn't believe one little cup of the protein mix drink was breakfast, but it's almost dinnertime and I'm not that hungry.
