Oh that looks good. Do you think parchment paper would work? Also how long do you cook them or just watch them melt a bit and get crispy?

I'm sure parchment paper would work as well. And I just bake until they look a bit brown around the edges. The more you do it the more you'll know exactly when to take them out.

You could make cheese chips. I use a baking mat to melt cheese in the oven until it's crispy and brown around the edges. I personally love Colby jack the most but you should try out different kinds.

181.6 for this week

Go bigger than what you think you will be. I was in a wedding and guessed my dress size. Was off and had to have the dress let out, while I got lucky and only needed a tiny extra room in order to zip the dress up. It's easier to take a dress in than to try and let it out and if it takes 15 weeks to get (ridiculous btw) then you don't want to take the chance of the dress being too small.

Panda Express is another one of my favorites. I order a la carte and order only the entree. My absolute fave is Mushroom chicken. A 6oz serving is 170 cal 4g sugar and 12g Protein (obviously I only eat about half)

We also went to Dickey's BBQ over the weekend. Instead of ordering a meal I ordered meat by the weight. Had plenty for dinner and leftovers for 2 meals.

On Saturday my fam and I went to Chili's. I ordered the kids grilled chicken and then asked for it to be topped with their mango habanero sauce/salsa and avocado. Ordered the side as steamed broccoli. It was delicious! Kids meal price and add .99 for the mango habanero and avocado.

Made it to a size 12! I haven't been a size 12 since Jr. High!!!! (Like 7th grade)

The True Results company also has an option for surgery if you have a hiatal hernia. They will bill to insurance as a hiatal hernia operation and do the sleeve/bypass while they are in there. It's something worth checking out. I didn't have a hernia otherwise I would have gone this route since it would have been cheaper.

It's not Cigna that is choosing not to cover it. It's your employer. Employers get to choose what is and not covered on the health plans that they offer to their employees. Your best bet is to write to your HR/Benefits department to encourage them to add this benefit to all employees health plans explaining the benefits it would provide to them as a company. If you do a google search there are example letters out there. If your insurance is not through an employer and is privately based then that particular plan has the exclusion and you would have to find a different plan that has that benefit on it, which could have a higher premium to it.
