I hate cooked, and especially hate over cookee vegs. I like mine very crsip, i waited until cleared for salads to add in veggies. With the exception of cauliflower, i just barely cook my veggies. Texture is very important to me food.

All the dominicks in chicago went out of business right? They had the best turkey sausage. The chicken sausage at trader joes and sams club are good. Early on you might not be able to tolerate the grease in real pork italian sausage, it might be better to wait until after 3 months. If you are used to Chicago italian sausage, that JennieO sausage is a huge disappointment, it is basically flavorless. The trader joes chicken sausage have 10x the flavor and seasoning.

I wonder how much money they make off this show. It seems like a fortune. All the products and resorts.

I never watch this show but I am watching it because well I am bored in my office. So none of these women can walk in heels? No one thought to practice before they had to walk on a stage on national television??!?! Yes, I am being catty and petty, but it is just ridiculous. Most of them look like cats walking across a hot tin roof. The twins look sexy. I like that strong chiseled jaw look. He actually looks like a PE teacher. Roberto looks delicious. Hey, Papi... Their voices are even sexier. What a reminder of how much I hate this show. They really told people the day they are going to die on? Then told them they added x amount of years? Doctors or Mystics? I didn't know we had Shaman on NBC. Stephen looks good, that jaw line is looking real sexy. The only thing about him is he has that loose skin on his neck and under his chin, if that tightens up or he get a little he will be good. He had a lot of weight in his face and he lost it which aged him a little, but he doesn't look sickly. He looks distinguished now. I bet he does better in career going forward just based on his looks. Colby is younger so losing the weight isn't as dramatic in his face as it is for the older guys. His face is still fat which is why he looks, "healthier" plus he is younger. The other dudes have necks though and Colby still doesn't have a neck.

Is the jello cold? I could only tolerate room temperature or warm items for the first few weeks.

If there is a University nearby, give them a try.

If you like seafood, you should be able to eat a decent amount of fish/crab/shrimp at that point. I'm not sure I would roll the dice on how well I will feel post op for such an important trip. Can you have surgery after the trip?

What a quack. I wanted to find a counselor that would be knowledgeable about eating disorders, food addictions. I asked the Dr that did my eval for surgery and he suggested a counselor that worked with addictions, like drug addictions. I never went, but I was disappointed there weren't professionals available in my area that could help me.

About 6 weeks maybe a little longer. It is all a blur now. At first I was making iced coffee drinks with cold brewed coffee and unflavored Protein. I have a cup every morning with a few drops of stevia and 1TB 1/2 and 1/2.

@@Mrs_O That atkins pizza is pretty high in carbs but most of the carbs are Fiber, so the net carbs are decent. The calories are too high for me. Especially since the pizza is TINY. Dr Atkins is dead. The company that bought the brand are perverting the concept to maximize profits. All these packaged products are really playing fast and loose with the rules, keep that in mind. I buy mini cauliflower crust pizzas and add my own toppings or I make cauliflower pizza. I have never been a big pizza person, it is just to ad some variety to my diet every once in a while. I think I posted a good cauliflower crust recipe in the recipes forum. If someone had a family they made pizza with, I think you could make that pizza and the whole family would like it. http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2015/08/24/foolproof-cauli-pizza-pepperoni

Why not get a 0% APR Credit card? That would be the best way to finance if you can pay it off in a year.

Enjoy that vacation and have your surgery. How you will feel post-op no one knows. Make sure you don't end up doing pre-op while on vacation so plan the surgery far enough away that you can really enjoy the vacation.

I really want to see the advice they give this girl with the huge boobs. She looks like the club turn up queen, but she wants to be married. Girl, okay. I want to see how they fix her up.

Are you seeing someone for your depression? Someone you can talk to? You might want to tell them how you are feeling and increase your appointments and you might need your medicine adjusted. Not eating your feelings,and learning to feel all your feelings is tough. It is even harder right after surgery when your hormones are all out of whack. Make sure you seek some help, before things get out of control.

Pre-op I had this issue. Post-op, I guess my body had adjusted to starvation that I was okay. Still post op until about 6 weeks when I could eat more, I only had energy in bursts.

I totally agree on therapists telling people to get out there and date. Is this a money making ploy? Send messed up people out into the world to mess up other people and maybe they come to you or a colleague? It seems so unprofessional and just bad advice. Dating is stressful for anyone, even someone together, it is worse for people with other unresolved issues. Why put more on their plate? I don't want to be involved in rehabbing some man. I already saved a dog, I have done my part for the universe. @@CowgirlJane Sounds like you were dating a Dexter in training.

What was tonight's episode called? I am trying to find it to record it, it doesn't seem like it reruns at all this week.

@@OKCPirate Oh I'm not playing victim, and I am not bitter, bored mostly. I am not playing innocent at all. I have specific needs and desires and I am not willing to compromise. I just thought older men would be more together, and I am finding too many men that are in mid life crisis. There is nothing wrong with being in a mid life crisis or a bad place in your life. Just be self aware enough not to push that crap onto other people. Most of these guys don't get far with me, I can weed them out usually before even meeting them. I realized I was expecting to much to think that people who are trying to date are in a healthy mental place before making a dating profile. This is why I stopped trying to meet new people for now. I don't have the time or energy weed through people and try ad gauge their true intentions. Time is precious and my free time right now is better spent focusing on making it to my WL goal. We are women talking about dating men, and dating them online and how to screen them. I don't know what it is like to be a man and date online, I only know what is like from a female perspective. There is some guy that posts on here about dating women when he is still married as hell and he gets less kick back than you just gave me.

You don't have listed that you saw a nutritionist on you post from January. Did that happen afterward? My BMI was high and I had 2 co-morbidities. At 35 BMI they might make you do more but on my plan, they didn't have BMI qualifications the qualifications were really vague, even my Dr office said they were vague.

Laying on the pillows is going to attract perverts. It is a cute picture though. Yeah a little skin goes way to far in profiles Skin = want to bone in online dating.

I told my close friends, but they all live out of state, and don't know each other. I am single, I live own and I work for myself with no real co-workers. I live in area where I don't know anyone. It is easy for me not to tell anyone because I don't have anyone to tell or anyone that really needs to know. I don't have nosey co-workers. All my neighbors see me walking, all the time. I think it would be hard to keep it a secret in an office of nosey co-workers. I read all of the negative things that people are told on here, and honestly the people that have the great positive experiences telling the world, do not balance out with the people that have bad experiences. I would keep it to myself and I woulld advise anyone having surgery to keep it to themselves. 7 months out I am really glad I didn't tell people. At this point I hardly feel like I had surgery, I just feel like I had a lifestyle change. I would be really annoyed to be forced to talk about my sleeve all the time because people know about it. I once worked with someone who had gastric bypass and even though she was 5 years out, people would still ask her about it at work all the time, especially if we were dining out as a group. 5 years from now I seriously doubt I will want to answer questions about weight loss surgery. I'm not interested in answering those questions now (besides forums obvs)

How many calories? how many carbs? how much Protein. Are you food tracking? People can offer you better advice if you provide specific numbers.

That is awesome! Seems like you have a great job.

Yeah I basically thought I could cheat and weed out a lot of drama by dating older, which has always been my preference anyway. Dating guys in their 30s and 40s when you are in your 20s is a lot different than dating guys in their 40s and 50s when you are in your 30s. I'm old enough to see through the BS very quickly. Also in the past when I dated older men, they were men I through business connections, so they had to act with some decorum. Now with internet dating, you encounter a bunch of savages. Yes, they are online, validating their existance. Trying to see how many women they can pull and what quality they are. A lot are married, bored and have no intentions of divorcing or dating seriously. they want pen pals or just sex. Mainly it seems like a lot of men view online dating as an easy and free way to get sex. LOL Keep dreaming. I am finding younger men don't care about your age as long as you look good. As one told me, "No one would guess your age by looking at you, you look good". Also there is some appeal to dating an older woman that might not be looking for marriage and babies. I definitely am not interested in either, and that takes a lot of pressure off for some guys. It is a hard knock life out here in the dating world. Still when I read most peoples posts about being married, I am very happy to be single.

liquids in, liquids out. Just be grateful you are actually going at all. Those days might come to an end soon.
