    Favorite resturants....?!?!

    I KNOW I can always order anything on the menu and ask they bring a to go box at the beginning..... However I want to take advantage of my "I can order children's menu items " card.... So please share with me what restaurants have good children's menus. Like I know Joe's Crab Shack has a children's crab pot, but a lot of other restaurants have chicken fingers and hot dogs.... Can I please have your input as to what restaurants have children's menus that reflect the rest of their food?

    Protein Cupcakes with PB2 icing

    Am i missing something? Bananas are not listed on ingredients but you talk about adding banana?.... How much banana? TIA!
  4. Adam- im a nurse and im tellin you, you must take more time off- if you cant get it, you should postpone surgery till you can-- especially with having a steenuous on your feet job.... Often times anethesia can linger for over seven days- you're exhuasted, kinda weak bc youre only taking in clears..... My husband is a teacher and he was able to return after 2weeks.... I was off for four weeks.....Talk more with your doc but returning to a physically strrnuous job after 4 days is asking for complications..... Best to you;)

    The times, they are a changin'.....

    Im glad you did.... If i dont laugh, ill cry
  6. Tonight i was feeling emotional about a few things and my stress was greatly exacerbated by the fact that the restuarant where my son works has lobster as the the special tonight, but i had already eaten by the time i found out (and was feeling sick from a mere 2.5 oz of chicken- still learning my limits)-- i was talking to my husband and just started laughing.... I have always loved surf and turf which always meant prime rib (perhaps the king cut) and lobster.... Now it has become part of a petite filet and one shrimp if im lucky....... Lol!!!!! Delirious from not having access to my typical drug of choice-food;)

    protein snacks

    A while ago, I saw on here something about protein chips and now I cannot find thread… have people tried them, what do you think? I know we shouldn't snack too much, but if they're not bad, it might be something good for me to take to work…. I work 13 hr days and often only have time for a bite here or there…. thoughts?

    White Turkey Chili

    In the dairy section- near heavy cream- low fat cream is one of the options- i haf never used it before but it was like the consistancy fat free half and half

    White Turkey Chili

    Omg... Soooo good... My husband loves this and he never gets excited about new food- then we realized- this soup is a "cousin to sausage dip"...an old favorite of ours-- lol... We also used spicey chicken sausage instead of turkey!

    Dating post-op..does it get easier?

    As far as meeting quickly.... Here is the problem with that as i see it... When you meet people through other venues, you have a chance to develop a friendship a bit before dating- with online dating, when you meet, its often this mental state of "are we dating or not?!?!".... Thats a lot of pressure.... I dated quite a bit on line, and ultimately met my husband online... I dont think you have to wait weeks and weeks to meet (if that is what he wants, there is probably more he is not revealing)... But i don't think you have to jump into it either... different perspective- my two cents
  13. As anybody else notices this since being sleeve.... So many smells make nausuas... Im constantly saying to my husband no matter where we go " what is that smell?!".... He iften does not notice... Lol... Might just be related to not fully eating "real food yet"
  14. Ast night we had chicken for dinner... I portioned some out for myself and put the rest of my piece away... Then about three hours later, i thought i felt legitimate hunger. (Im just over 2 weeks out and through my preop up to now have learned a lot about real hunger v mental/ emotional hunger).... Anyways, i waited a few mins and was still hungry... So i carefully warm up and prepared a few bites .... And after just a couple of bites, i got super uncomfortably full.... Help - how do i know/ control these situations...... I'm terrified of stretching out my stomach and ruining everything..... And i seem to have this problem with protein- similar thing happen earlier in the day with tuna....

    Dating post-op..does it get easier?

    First and foremost- dont let yourself get beat down- you are a person of worth and value.... You have to enter these situations believing a man is lucky to be with you.... Nobody, man or woman is fun to be around when they have the eeyore syndrome;)...... Secondly, i dated online quite a bit but found eharmony to be pretty snobby- try match.com
