that's a big no no who barks at the full moon or do you both?

LOLOLOL i gave up on the political threads - even though one is on ignore, too many copy her drivel. heartfire - $50 dh comes home this evening from buz trip and asks where his wife is. i'm not an organized person by nature, but its gotten to me as of late & w/the remodel finnishing up - good of time as any.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh this carefree cancer who never puts something away in the same place twice is married to a virgo .... good balance :biggrin:

so, i was banded w/crohns, had horrible stomach issues - would go days w/out going to the bathroom (sorry tmi i know) & i just avoided salads for fear that the roughage would cause more damage - NO. last wk i had my checkup w/my band surgeon, and while we were talking it dawned on me that i go to the bathroom EVERY day now - no flare ups. he said that was a HUGE sign that my digestive system was working on all cylinders and a mark of proper health. i lived on carbs beforehand & while i did/do love fruit & veggies - i didn't include them in my EVERY day diet. i do now, my body actually craves it. had grilled shrimp on romaine for lunch yesterday - kept me satisfied for 5hrs......was so good, i'm having the same today.

start taking measurements - it helps & exercising shows those benefits!! haven't been to the gym all wk - hubby traveling and i have a lot going on at the house. have a new puppy that i'm taking on 3 20min walks around the pad & doing free weights/squats/lunges. back in the gym tom for spin class.

i thought the exact same thing. 3lbs ebony - onederland!!! ktork - hoping all goes well w/your daughter i would read the beth/fanny thread - likely not participate - but would DEF read it. organizing / purging / playing with textiles - nice morning:) cheers~

i'm italian myself, if the bread is thin & toasted well - i'm ok w/it:) white bean chicken chili is easy. saute' small onion / 2 celery stalks / 2 garlic cloves w/a little butter & olive oil....get translucent. add 8 cups of chicken stock - while simmering i will pull apart pcs of a rotissere chicken (you can cook one, but i like the ones i get a whole foods & it's easy), add a can of drained cannelli beans & let it cook for about 30mins. "sometimes" i'll throw a cup of elbow mac in or some brown rice - depends what i have on hand.

sorry diva...... yesterday - b- half toasted english muffin w/tuna salad l- grilled shrimp on romaine s- mixed nuts & slice of cheddar d- bowl of white bean/chicken chili

got nothing - other than this could be all attention seeking. *not a mom* - disclosure.

Texas - BCBSTX Next day Denial

pretty quiet - DH and i sent separate emails to our contractor w/different granite counter top colors. similar - but since i cook .... i get to decide. he won't care - but still, told him he got to design his media room & music studio - i get the rest. i have emptied every cabinet - 8 bags of trash, 4 boxes of donation stuff.....and i'm DONE for the day. we are going minimalist & our stuff collection is out of control. not giving up my books & he has a graveyard of technology STUFF. oye............

and you really shouldn't follow someones posts if you can't stand them, just for sport - then claim victim. pathetic. it's the internet - you get to decided who you want to read. agree w/you jen.

that's awesome beth - !!

i do all the time, takes too much energy to take myself serious.

have you tried pepermint or spearmint teas? i have kept these as a staple since being banded , very soothing for an "iffy tummy".

i have no skin in the HH debacle. he broke the rules, ok he's banned. from my standpoint, he was a good asset to have here. another voice for a bad band experience & to offer another view. too many times, the band complication threads or those OP's putting out questions on what WLS type to have are bombared by those who are ADAMENT the band is the best thing since puppy breath.....and ANY kind of band complication is the fault of the patient. i liked his writing style & while gruff - i appreciate that. wish he found the ignore feature first - it's a FAB option to use here, about to use it myself after this post.

no crap - same here...LOL olivia's mom, can you send alex a note to delete this one, as i see you posted on glouc? thanks,

we got 2 threads going....:thumbup::mad:

*ugh, cleaning up the kitchen i realized i had a late snack, cheese stuffed chicken - about 2oz* :thumbup:

we get "many" gifts on the back porch still, DH can't handle either. it's me picking up carcass' cause his a wuss. this was strange, no body unless someones dog took off w/the body (dove)....my problem is, ummmm who's shooting around my front door? and WHY didn't my dogs bark to let me know???? LOL

that' is pretty foul!!! gross, thanks for the share..:thumbup: lol pjtp - walk out this AM, feathers all over the front yard. now i know that dove season opened yesterday here - but i didn't hear any gun fire & the grass is covered in white puffy clouds of feathers. trying to keep a puppy from rolling around in them is a treat. :mad:

yesterday - b- half english muffin w/cream cheese & smoked salmon/tomato slice s- 2oz cottage cheese l- bacon wrapped scallops (3) & orange, fennel salad d- lentil soup

there was a thread last wk about turkey bacon .. it should come from a pig - that * pancetta * prosciutto~ like i wont' eat orange butter (margarine) - i'll take small doses of the real stuff.

already did....., but these posts do still give me giggles:) - so thnx
