red, hot to the touch with yellowish puss coming from it is bad. pink around the edges is good.

this time I used whole milk ricotta. next time I am going to use part-skim. it was actually too rich tasting.

I think she sees a lot of people on here talking about revisions. A lot of people are going from lap-band to the sleeve. your sleeve will work for you as long as you take care of it. dont stretch it out and you'll be good. As an ER nurse, to me, this is the safest of all the weight loss surgeries with the least complications. Remember, I see ALL the screw-ups and I had a sleeve

pureed/ full liquid as soon as I got home from the hospital. I do this for 3 weeks. Then I go to mushies for 3

I am still in the pureed stage. my Nut. said if it can go in a straw then you can have it. I actually watered this down and added extra marinara sauce to make it soupy. still awsome

Had this for dinner tonight. was fantatic!! She has several versions of this but this is for the mushy/puree stage. Enjoy http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html

I have been to the grocery store, whole foods, sprouts, sam's club so many times in the past few weeks. Just looking at all the things and protein content. It is my new obsession

just needed some reassurance

some OR's require you to wear a pad nstead of a tampon. I pretty muched refused stating that the surgery will take less then 8 hours and i'll be up and walking to the bathroom before that 8 hours is up. One nurse tried to tell me i couldnt wear one in case I needed a foley. lol I was like.... wrong hole. In the end I got my way and wore a tampon

so my question is being in the full liquid stage how much is too much? I have 2 Protein shakes / day. one when I wake up and the other around 8pm . inbetween i drink my required Water and have 4oz of blended Soup or 4 oz of pureed carrots. I have been very mindful not to eat any white carbs (grits, mashed potato). but today I am hungry... not just head hungry. This is the first time I have felt like tearing the fridge apart. I already had my soup today... can I have something else also. I am only like 10 days out

saying a prayer for ya. remember the two w's..... water & walk

I am still in the liquid phase but husband and I went out for a long walk last night and afterwards we went out or dinner. I ordered a bowl of soup (should have ordered the cup... I have so much left over) and I asked them to put it in the blender for me and they did without hesitation. I actually had to have them bring over a cup of hot water the thin it ut. but it tasted great. small non-chain restaurants are usually very accomodating. good luck :-)

Iuse Gladiator by smoothie king. It is the ONLY one that I can tolerate and even that I can only use one scoop at a time. (23Grams) I also have to have it made with ice in a blender. That makes all the difference in the world. the minute it gets warm..... it tastes disgusting

so today I made ice cream but i added Fage 2% plain yogurt (1 cup) , vanilla protein mix and sugar free Kahlua syrup. I have a new obsession !!!!

glad it's not bleeding anymore. feel better

your HGB dropped that much from a few incisions?

I am gonna have to try this one once I can eat "real food" Cauliflower Crust pizza Ingredients: 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 egg, beaten 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp crushed garlic 1/2 tsp garlic salt olive oil (optional) pizza sauce, shredded cheese and your choice of toppings* Directions: To "Rice" the Cauliflower: Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater). Place the riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes (some microwaves are more powerful than others, so you may need to reduce this cooking time). There is no need to add Water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself. One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. To Make the Pizza Crust: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9" round. Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. To the crust, add sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes). Enjoy! *Note that toppings need to be precooked since you are only broiling for a few minutes

feel better. Give it a few days. it gets better

click Protein shakes have caffiene in them

Can you believe that Dallas does not have a trader Joe's yet? I have lived here 3 years and they are finally getting ready to open one up in the late spring. so excited

doesnt need for me to get warm. ice cream is a year round favorite

I am not saying that I dont like her recipes. Just to go thru every post was painful. just went to whole foods and used her pantry list to get a few things :-)

So my husband went out last night and got me an ice cream maker knowing that I wanted to try eggface's recipe. After the artic zone nastiness I knew I could do better. I followed her recipe and used my kitchen ninja to whip it up to double the size and it came out FANTASTIC !!! I made carmel mocha and even my husband liked it. The great thing is that the whole recipe has 52 grams of Protein in it and will probally get 2-4 servings out of it. I cant wait till I am able to try fruity ones and add chunks to it Recipe name Number of servings Serves people Ingredients Calories Carbs Fat Protein smoothie King - Gladiator, 12 oz 120 1 0 45 vanilla Soy Milk 240ml (8 oz), 240 ml 90 10 4 6 sugar free Caramel, 1 tbsp 0 1 0 0 Nescafe - Nescafe Tasters Choice Instant Coffe, 2 tsp 2 0 0 0 Add Ingredient Total: 212 12 4 51 Per Serving: 53 3 1 13
