    I've got a diamond anniversary ring hubs gave me on our 10th wedding anniversary that needs a diamond replaced. Going to do that and have the prongs and such checked. It is a bit too small. I can get it on, but it's snug. I thought about resizing it, but I know the weight is coming off so I'll wear a snug ring just to see how long it takes to get looser on my finger! BTW we will Celebrate our 25th this July 11....wow that's about 1/2 of my life! I've got a good-un too! My best friend and soul mate he is!!!

    I have an idea for you. mayo has about 100 calories per Tbs. That would be fine it it had more Protein, but it's all fat. Try this that I learned from TheworldaccordingtoEggface.com: Mix plain Greek yogurt with just about anything (avocado, blue cheese, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, etc) and add it to your meats as a dip or like chicken salad. It will add a LOT of Protein and cut the calories by as much as 80% I think.

    Today I had some grape tomatoes and the Greek yogurt avocado mix. It made THE BEST little salad and it was protein packed.

    THANKS!!! I have yet to try Greek Yogurt....top of my shopping list!! Blessings~Melanie:)

    Only my husband, daughters and a select few friends know. The reason, I don't want to feel like I am under the microscope! Some people would sit back and say, "My, she looks horrible" or "I don't see her loosing at all" and the like! My life is an open book and I have always been the "tell all" kind of person, but not this time. I tell you it's the hardest thing I have ever done. My biggest surprise was when I told my mother in law. My God she is the greatest cook! and deserts! WOW I started out by saying I need to tell you something and I need your support. I don't have much family and I need you to support me. I explained the surgery. She knows I have battled my weight for the past 10 years. She thought I wouldn't be able to eat anymore! I said, "just in smaller amounts" and believe it or not yesterday she told me to take care of myself. It blew me away because we have had some stormy days in our relationship...

    :( and today I get a get well card in the mail from her! Totally blew me away! God is Great!!! Blessings~Melanie:)

    Welcome "Fellow Kentuckian"...

    :) I agree with the suggestion of staying at the stage you are now if you are having a difficult time getting in especially your Protein. Of course Water is important as well. You don't want to get dehydrated. I suggest trying different protein products. I spent over $100.00 on Mercola: http://proteinpowder.mercola.com/pure-protein.html

    It is Organic and I really liked it before surgery and now am having a hard time drinking it. Right now I am drinking the EAS shakes, but they can get so costly. I am eating pureed food, so able to get in some protein eating. Rotisserie Turkey breast today! Best of luck to you and I hope you find something soon that works. The folks here have been so helpful and that is such a Blessing! Melanie:)
