This may sound weird ... when I was preggers with my first son, one of my weird cravings was cottage cheese w/ salsa. Here 17 years later, I still like to eat it that way! I'm not into adding all the fruity stuff to it ... it's either salsa or plain for me. :biggrin1:

I created this while experimenting during my liquids / mushie stage ...

Mmmm Good! Enjoy!

OK so I just received my elliptical machine yesterday ... the hubby put it together for me last night and all I can say is .... man, that thing kicks my @$$! I can't last more than 2 minutes on it without my legs giving out on me, and gasping for breath Has anyone else had this problem? ... Does it get easier? I'd hate to have wasted $700 on a machine I can't use :faint:

If your BMI is 45 or higher, then most doctors require you to be on a liver shrinking diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Doing so helps shrink the liver making the surgery easier & safer as well.

I am so with you on that! Almost everyday my Mom asks me if the scale has gone down and most often I have to say no and in a way I feel like she might be disappointed in me. Last week I spoke to my Father-in-law on the phone and he asked me on average how much weight I was losing a week and I told him 1-2 lbs ... so he says to me "OK you better be down 20 lbs by the next time I see you" ... I'm like wtf?? Then yesterday I went to pick up my 16 year old from school, I had a bottle of Water which I added Crystal Light to, to make it pink lemonade, and he takes a drink of it then proceeds to say "Why can't you drink just plain water, aren't you NOT supposed to have this??" Aarghhh!! I wish everyone around me would stop focusing on my weight and what they think I should or shouldn't have, do or not do blah blah blah! OK that was my vent ... I feel much better Now losingjusme ... You are such a HUGE inspiration to me, I'm sure to alot of us! I visited your site and looked at your pics ... you have worked so hard, and come so far! Dig deep inside and find that motivation, that drive you had in the beginning because if you can make it this far, you can go all the way! Keep up the good work, and remember we're all here rooting for you! :biggrin1:
