Love it!! I was wondering yesterday if there was an ignore button. I will be using it.

Made crab enchiladas. Yum.

Hello there.. So why is that? do you refuse to take them or is it because you can't swallow them?

It's a Karen Walker quote from Will & Grace... see is referring to booze and prescription drug. LOL It's a joke.

Love me some Karen...I can watch Will and Grace 24/7

I live in Savannah...and this winter has been bad for us...but horrible in the Midwest and North ... but I am still looking forward to spring...getting out in the garden will be a better experience this year

I want to try growing a veggie garden. I have a work friend getting me some seedlings starters. Not sure I have it in me. I don't like worms.

Me too! I live in West Texas (Odessa) and we are already having some 80 degree weather and I'm loving it!

I need someone to hide mine too!

Good Idea! Yes when losing weight it's easy to become a slave to the scale. There's so many other ways to know and feel yourself melting beside the number on that scale. I walked in my door the other night from celebrating my sweeties birthday, with hands full, and by the time i got in the house my pants were down to my knees. Yep another pair to give away. I have found that the tape measure is a better friend than the scale. If your going to be a scale stalker just remember th...

That's a good idea! I think I will have to have someone remove mine from the house to try that...

Yum sounds good.. I do have all those indian spices at home. I will get come cauliflower. Maybe I need some chana masala or sag paneer!

My surgery was on Feb. 3rd as well. I am cleared for eggs. I had 1/4 cup of eggbeaters with spinach and low fat cheddar for dinner.

Good idea. I will whip up some in the morning. I am so glad those spasms subsided. I am going to add you as a friend so we can compare notes/stats!!!

I hear ya Sista!!! miss it big time!!! (sniffle-sniffle)

a sip is fine..wine treats me more like a bag of chips

I know! I am trying my best to wait at least 6 weeks post op. I am actually afraid to drink.

The day after is rough... not horrible, just rough. Day 3... discharge day you should feel much much better. I was super worried about the pain too! Make sure they give you that IV Tylenol. That **** works so damn good and I did not believe it would. Did we meet at one of the nutrition classes??? I feel like we met. You look familiar. P.S. Eat up while you can. All your favorites!!! It will be awhile b4 you can enjoy those again after surgery. You are gonna look awesom...

Lmao I will def remember to get the good stuff when in the hospital! Im a sissy when it comes to pain! And you look familiar to me as well but I dont think we have meet before. Ive never been to a meeting but I plan on making it to this months at synergy! Ann Marie has me on a pre op pre op diet lol but i sneak in my treat here and there. I know I have to give them up for a bit soon so I am trying to slowly but surely wean myself off of all the junk

So glad to hear that you felt better leaving the hospital. That is my worst fear...being in pain and not having access to the good drugs.

Good news. Good luck with the next phase. Are you relieved to be on to the "post" side of the journey? I am nearing my date on 2/24

Welcome to the loser's bench. Stick with your program & you'll be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Good luck!!!!

thanks.... I am still experiencing a bit of discomfort so hard for me to think ahead.

Good luck, Belladonna......I am approved and waiting for my date so let's hear all about your journey after tomorrow.

Thanks! My best friend did bypass 4 years ago... she came over and spent hours with me today just prepping me mentally (we are both nurses). I am prepared for a little difficulty but I know there is no turning back.... I am so done being obese.

Good luck today. Prayers for a speedy recovery coming your way.

Right, lol

I'll sell you the 500$ juicer I bought after I watched it.lol that fad lasted about a week for me! Green juice is pretty nasty after the first couple of days

I actually love my green shakes! I make them in my cuisinart blender. Protein shakes with kale or spinach, frozen berries and cinnamon! I drink them everyday for breakfast. Well not now since I am on the pre op diet. So you don't like you Vitamix?

I bought a top of the line breville on an impulse purchase at Williams Sonoma. Of course now I have retired the juice attachment and have an overpriced blender.lol. I was just never able to find enough savory items that my taste buds liked. Most of the hardcore "green" fasting recipes were savory. Of course the one that you describe sounds delicious!
