  2. POD # 18. After 18 days of having one issue or another keeping things down, I woke up knowing my body wanted a soft-boiled egg. I'm eating it now. I don't know that I've ever tasted anything so delicious in my life.

      you are on your way now :D

  3. Oh Campbells Chicken Broth, how I depend on thee...

  4. My husband is cooking himself a steak. He deserves it, he's worked hard outside in the yard all day. It smells absolutely fantastic - but I'm having trouble keeping protein dranks down. This, too, shall pass.

      I found that "salty" went down and felt better than plain water. Try a few sips. You might just be "weird" like me! :)

      Yep, definitely salty is the way to go. I tried a sip of beef broth today, too heavy. Chicken broth going down a treat, though.

      I'm not sure which I'm more excited about -- your surgery or the fact that you'll have a long break. NYC will celebrate the day you return to work in a slimmer form by having a WLS clothing exchange.

      I have the Extended Sick Leave in the bank, and once I'm at work, I forget about taking care of myself. I'm taking a month to get better self-care habits dialed in before the distraction of work.

      Good for you!!! Brilliant!!!

  6. I've made chicken and beef broths, got my V8, my Mio & Crystal light, my shakes, and my protein powder. I even made chicken puree from the chicken from the broth and froze it in 1/4 cup portions. Laundry is done. I'm ready for my last three days at work before my leave.

      You've always had approval around here. It was just a matter of being cleared for surgery.

      Very excited for you! Good luck on the journey ahead! :)

  10. Had a friend come over tonight and take a ton of "before" measurements and photos: front, side, and rear. Put the measurements into Excel. Looking forward to seeing those numbers change!

      I did this too! Though I just use myfitnesspal to log the measurements. Just checked, becuase you inspired me, and I've lost 15 inches around my hips alone! When is your surgery? :)

      March 10. I like Excel cause I can play with the figures more than in MFP.
