KindaFamiliar

And as discussed previously, here's my lunches and dinners for the week, during prep and after 'plating'...

@@Elode Steamed broccolini...

@@jintycb Hey!!! What happens in other posts stays in other posts!!! The crazies in this one need no more ammunition thanx!!! And for the record, there are NO "KOTEX PICS" in the foreseeable future...

@@CowgirlJane It was a decent start... I've lost another 80lbs or so since that pic... Still about 90 or so to go I think... It's a process...

@@cdsjjotn Thanx for the congrats and the beard advice... I'll certainly take that into consideration... Re the hundreds of dollars you might save - how about you put, saaayyy, 15% into my account... I think that's a reasonable price to pay for youthful looks such as mine... @@autymn I reall AM funny aren't I... But in my defense, I've kinda gotta be... You see, I have a really small... Ummmm... Attention span... Anyway, enough of that... Yes!! I should do a blog... I actually have one... I've had it for about three or four years... It has one post in it... And I don't even remember the name of it... So maybe I'll start another one.. Just for you... Leave it with me...

It's a true story @ I was running late... I had a call from home... You know the type... Yes, there will be photographic evidence... Despite having a 'good head for radio', I'll make the sacrifice for the sake of science/entertainment/attention... Fear not.. Another pic of my gigantic, bulbous head will be in this thread before too long... Apologies in advance to those who may be eating as they view...

@@VSGAnn2014 Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... No...

@@Elode It's almost like 'broccoli lite'... It's not as coarse or as strong flavoured as broccoli... I'll try to post a pic when I get home tonite...

@@Elode I knew you'd chime in eventually... I knew you'd not be able to resist... And as always, you're most welcome here... For now...

I've done up all of my lunches/dinners for the week as well... They're all the same... Poached salmon and broccolini... Boring... But better than next week's food... That'll be five days of back to liquids... Gonna try to kick the stall...

Good morning you bunch of crazies!!! Well, it's day one of the "ArseFace Experiment... I've applied the doot cream this morning... Unfortunately, I was running late so I've not done any pics... I'll try to do so this evening... Again, thank you for your support and interest... Even if you're all only here for a laugh!!!

@@jintycb Ummmmmmmmmm... Did you just ask me to come and service your dog?

@@fullyalive Righto, I'm on my way... And once the chores are done, they can wash my car!!

@@fullyalive I'm the calmest, most centered man ever to exist, so I don't yell... Plus, I don't have kids... Do you want me, for the sake of science, to come around and yell at yours? It'd be weird at first, but I'm sure we'd all get used to it quickly... Have a think... Let me know...

Now, I'm not big on the "faith/prophecy/praying" type stuff... I'm not against it... It's just not my thing... However, here's my take on your post... You were 'told' you were gonna lose weight... You've been researching WLS... You've made an appointment... You say you've received no "answer"... Riddle me this... You say that you've not received an "answer"... Is it at all possible that you're overlooking the answer? What if the fact that you're still researching and making appointments IS the answer... Perhaps, if you weren't supposed to be taking this direction, you'd have been sent a "sign".. From what I know of such "answers" or "signs", they're not always a case of black and white... So maybe rather than looking for an obvious "sign", put a little faith in YOURSELF and go with your heart.. Is that possible? Of course, I know nuthin' about nuthin'... I'm just some guy who was brought up to believe... Whether or not I still believe is irrelevant... I may be a little out of touch with faith related stuff... But I reckon I might have a point... All the best to you @@ecoreen94

@@SarahSleeve You're all over this sh*t... Well done to you...

@@Andrea72 Yeah... We're pretty f**king awesome...

I did too @@Ryan TN It was a great help... Half a teaspoon at a time was much better than half a forkful...

Ask anything you like @@Andrea72 There's always someone around who'll answer your questions... And as you've probably noticed, there's very little that you can't discuss...

@@Andrea72 Happy to have been of some assistance...

@@Ryan TN Great work mate... You've gotta be pleased with that!!!

@@Andrea72 Firstly, I'll see your "Hey" and I'll raise you a "How you doin'?" Now, to the food... You gotta chew... No... You REALLY gotta chew!!! Forget the 'chew 20 times' sh*t... CHEW!!!!

So, I mean this in a nice, pleasant, non-creepy way... Niiiiice!!! That is all...

I have nothing to add to the wisdom of @@Inner Surfer Girl So I'll simply smile and nod...

I chewed after my op... But stopped when I thought about little bits of gum breaking off and taking up room in my stomach... I switched to sugar free mints... I still use them... I say 'use' because I don't eat them for the pleasure... I use them as a tool to help me digest my proteins after I eat... I've had trouble with that since the op.. Red meat is now a rarity on my menu due to my inability to digest it... I eat fish for most lunches/dinners and have chicken on the others... After each meal, I will have three or four mints, just to keep the digestive juices flowing.. I have mints everywhere I could possibly go... I have some here on my couch-side table... By my bed... In my car... At my desk.. Even in my gym bag... Wherever I have a water bottle, I have a tin of mints... So I really, REALLY hope they're not a bad thing...
