Today I'm having chicken sausage with feta and spinach

I love the riced cauliflower from Trader Joes. I use it to make "tater tots" and "fried rice" both recipes were posted here in the recipe forum.

I have not tried the cauliflower crust but I do make pizza with wonton skins as the crust. I also use a pizza stone and it makes the wonton skins super crisp. It doesn't necessarily compare to the Gino's or Lou Malnatis but I don't want the calories of those places anyways! And this Italian Chicagoan is perfectly happy with wonton pizza.

How is this for cute boots? After a couple months of PT, we were able to get the boots for home treatment. Now, I can do treatment at home (3x a day).

I was sleeved also and I use desert plates ! I would use a saucer but the indentation in the middle for the cup bothers me. I must say smaller plates means less to wash!

You will break it! Good luck!! I am desperate to hit the even 50lbs lost mark and am tempted to go liquid for a week or so to make the magic 50 !!

Welcome and congratulations on you decision! Im about 6 weeks out and I can say that surgery is the best decision I have ever made!

Congratulations!!!

Good luck to all getting uber close to onderland! I am confident everyone will be there soon! Until then focus on how great it feels to just live in your new body! I know I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

I think he might have meant preop As in right as they are rolling you into the operating room they will infuse antibiotics. It's done right before surgery because it helps reduce the risk of infection from the procedure.

So as I approach Onderland I thought I would find some photos to compare. I took photos the first day I met my surgeon back in August, right before surgery February 10th and end of February as I shopped for a few new pieces of clothing. Unfortunately I took the pre op photos in underwear so oops! Had to find different photos! Realized I'm usually the photographer and don't have my photo taken. It should be noted I did my pre op liquid diet starting January 1, 2016 and surgery was Feburary 10th so please don't think I have lost everything since surgery. I also cut off my face in both photos but trust me I have lost a ton of weight in my face I am 5'3 Photo on left is August 2014 and I was 245lbs Photo on the right was February 27, 2016 and I was 206 lbs Not near goal yet but I feel it's already showing!

Thank you all! [emoji4]

I have noticed some of my shoes are getting too big..I was a perfect 40 (10US) Yesterday I tried on some of my partners shoes that were a 9 and they fit perfectly! Rut roh shaggy!!! For the shoes I really adore and were expensive I will use inserts like the little silicone pad for your heel to make them last. Unfortunately, my feet are still wide. [emoji849]

Lol I so weigh naked , no jewelry, no glasses ! I even weigh before I shower because I have long hair and don't want to weigh my wet hair! Lol We shall take a peek when I get home and if not...tomorrow is my day! [emoji108]????

I have never liked her...and especially after hearing about her views on child rearing and spanking. I must agree money can't buy class or intelligence [emoji4]

I just said hiatal hernia repair and nothing else. It's all about boundaries.

You look great! Congratulations and I can totally relate to the bored eating. [emoji5]

Congratulations and good luck!

After staples are removed it's ok to put some soap on your hand and gently clean each incision in the shower. Small gentle circles.... If you want to put something on them after you shower I used Aquaphor on mine and they look great less than a month from surgery.

If you ran a Protein drink through and ice cream maker it might work Ice cream had the consistency that it does and is scoop able because the ice crystals form slowly as its churned thus incorporating air and giving you the desired consistency. If you just toss it in the freezer you will just get a frozen block of ice. Yes, I have watched entirely too many episodes of Good Eats with Alton Brown
