Just FYI, raw meat is fine to eat. I'm not saying the Paleo diet is a raw meat diet, but I just wanted to chime in.
The *only* reason we need to cook our meat now is due to the disgusting mechanized way super markets slaughter their cows. The process ends up with a ton of germs and bacteria on the outside of the meat, so store bought meat needs the OUTSIDE of it cooked well enough to kill those germs.
That's why you can eat a rare steak. As long as the surface is cooked enough to kill the germs from processing, you're fine.
Note: you should NEVER eat raw hamburger from a store for this reason, the germs are all mixed up in the meat... and this is why it's a bad idea to ever order a rare hamburger.. in fact, most restaurants won't serve them to you less than medium.

36 hours from now I'll be waking up and getting ready to head into surgery. I check in Tuesday at 7, and under the knife at 8. Nervous but excited!! Ready to get this over with.

me me me! 6 more days!

Day 3 of liquids for me... chicken broth has become the highlight of my day... lol. I may actually start licking bullion cubes pretty soon, the salt cravings are almost uncontrollable.

Haha yep sorry, I'm a boy... we ruin everything

Guess I get to christen this new forum, really empty in here!
I got approved for my surgery, and I'll be sleeved January 24th! 2 week liquid diet starts sunday!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got the call this morning, I'M APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 24th I start rocking the sleeve incredibly nervous and excited at the same time... ><

haha... The lady at my surgeons office says she calls insurance every other day to check on the status... I guess they know if they sit on it they have to keep dealing with her, so they push it through faster
and YES IT IS!! That's my battle cry for when I get nervous about surgery, or when I don't want to work out... I remind myself that I'm going to turn "From FATT to FETT" !!

hahaha.. I love it... even though I don't think most people would understand...

Haha yep sorry, I'm a boy... we ruin everything

I'm a Nov sleever, but I think you guys should be called the January Juggernauts. Good luck with your surgeries, guys!

I haven't got my date yet, but all my paperwork was submitted for approval today. It's likely that I'll be part of your gang
Speaking of, we need a catchy gang name...
Like the july sleevers are the july firecrackers...
any ideas?

As a guy, I can tell you that the first rule we learn as we're growing up is not to compliment women on losing weight.
Guy: "Hey Amanda, looking good, are you losing weight?"
Amanda's mouth: "Yes I am!"
Amanda's brain: "God is it that noticeable? Was I the joke of the office with my fatness? Excuse me Guy... I didn't realize I've spent the past 5 years here being your personal Macy's day parade float... You're such a pig. I hate you. I hate men. "
And then Guy has to spend the rest of the week wondering why Amanda is acting cold and distant towards him.
