What were (or are) some of the barriers holding you back from getting wls?
Before I was really uneducated about the surgery. I honestly thought it was for people who were so large they could not get out of bed. For a while I thought I could loose weight on my own if I just really put my mind to it Once a person on radio show that I listened to every morning talked about his surgery I started to do some research and it was about the time I hit my "straw that broke the camel's back" and decided I needed the surgery

Discriminating Scales
yeah every scale shows different. Pick one scale and use that as your main one. I have one in my living room that I use to track myself. I don't care what the ones anywhere else say (though it feels so good to finally be able to actually use the regular doctor's scale)

Just a little venting
She's really my husband's friend not my friend....none of our other friends like her Sounds like there might be a deeper issue here.. Why is she still your husband's friend, and why'd he ignore your request? I'd be mad. honestly I don't know, none of our other friends like her. She often gets him mad and he goes through periods where he doesn't want to be friends with her. but then they're friends again. I don't get it

Gastric bypass almost week 3
There are apps that have timers to help you build a routine with eating and drinking. I would set timers on my phone to remind me to drink some days for me for the first couple of weeks I had to sleep in a recliner at a 45 degree angle because laying flat hurt.

Thanksgiving
some custard based pies without the crust would probably be good a simple sugar free strawberry pie....make a pack of sugar free strawberry Jello according to the box directions and put it in the fridge. When it is about halfway set mix it with half a tub of sugar free cool whip. You can pour this into a pie crust and let it set, or pour it into individual cups as a "mouse"

My Favorite Meal!
a really good greek chicken recipe Marinade the chicken 2 hours in advance The marinade is a cup of greek yogurt, salt, the juice of one lemon, oregano, chopped garlic. Dice the chicken into about 1 inch pieces and put them in a bag with the marinade, toss it around so all the chicken is coated well. After 2 hours I put the pieces of check on a wooden skewer that I had soaked in Water ahead of time so they won't burn. In between the chicken I put pieces of bell pepper and red onion. Then I grill them until the chicken is cooked

What's everyone eating for thanksgiving?
I'm making a dessert that looks nice and is on the lighter side and is very easy to make you mix a box of angel food mix (the kind where you just need to add water) with a can of pie filling. My favorite is blueberry and you can find it sugar free. Bake it according to the box instructions. In a bunt pan it looks very nice

The booths are less of an issue than they used to be but still can be tight depending on the place.
