I'm not a married lesbian... Did you ever sort out your salt lake city situation BTW?

I finally figured out how, I wanted to from the start, I never did it correctly. This was always supposed to be my name but I left it.

Enjoy!!! There are so many wonderful recipes that are chickpea based, the quickest I've ever seen was a vegan chicken salad. Chickpeas replaced the chicken and you prepared it basically the same with Mayo, spices, lime, etc. Amazing!!!!

Thank you! I figured it has something to do with acidity and stomach erosion but wouldn’t decaffeinated coffee have the same effect? I just emailed my nutritionist. I keep reading different research where there are (some conflicting) views that caffeine prompts over production of stomach acid, leading to higher incidents of erosions,and weakening of the lower sphincter. Google it, tons of info in either camp. But ultimately your under the care of your team so consult them for everything. So to be clear, not just coffee but any caffeinated beverage, but coffee is usually has the highest natural level of caffeine, and I doubt any doctor would suggest anyone stop drinking green tea (second highest natural concentration) simply because of the health benefits associated, but you never know...

First sorry that you are having the withdrawals, sucks. But very important to follow your plan. Have the decaf or no coffee if the temptation is too high. I was allowed decaf but I quit coffee 6 months prior to surgery, after I went on decaf , then regular all under the supervision of my team. But recently I'm back off coffee again to prove it can be done and to see if it makes a difference when it comes to stomach acid and erosion, which seems to be the main concern not the diuretic effect. Consult with your team for clarity and follow your plans for the best possible outcome, which is what everyone really wants. Safe journey!!!

Strawberries yes! Sliced and slightly smashed and tossed and keep in a container in the fridge with the balsamic and swerve! I'm going to try this

Breakfast part 1 Green peachy milk tea 5.5 oz of the shake, the rest tea 1/2 hr to finish

Awwww Glad you survived!!!!

Your team should be made aware of this immediately

What I'm a but more concerned about are the people who claim to follow their plans to the letter and regain. I would like to hear from these people. Is this real? Are they deluding theirselves? Any science behind this phenomenon?

Hi, mine was placed while I was sedated but removed when I was awake. With everything going on I didn't care that much about it honestly, but the removal was quick and pain less.

funny, friend is a weird way of spelling b.....

!!!!!Congrats!!!!!

Wow!

I will have to look into it. I was interested a while back but the small chamber size turned me away , I have teens and I would have to make batches and batches, so I took a hard pass. But I'm not in willing if the right one came around. thanks!!!

*know

No I still have not bought one but I don't think this is one of those things that would work in an air fryer, its loose ingredients . can you make falafel or meat balls in an air fryer? If so maybe it would work... Disclaimer: I pan fry foods, olive oil, grape seed oil, etc. I never intended to give that up, ever...

Good luck!

Did you make the cherries yourself?

I honesty don't work out a lot, i do walk some, but I have not made rigorous exercise the priority during the beginning stages of this journey. Exercise is mentioned and included as part of the program but there are tons of patients that for medical reasons just can't do a lot of it (me included) so diet is focused on more.

Salmon (Freshly poached/baked or pouched or canned salmon) hand mixed with various spices, a whole egg and binder of your choice (I use ground almonds, whole chia seed ,flax meal and kale) form into round Patty and pan fry med temp in 1/2 inch or less of oil until golden brown on both sides. Voilà.

The lighter I have gotten, the lighter my cycle has gotten. I don't know for sure if there is a direct connection but I believe so.

Can you postpone to think about it more instead of canceling ? To talk it over with the surgeon, your family and then decide? Chances are if you cancel now because of this without really thinking it through, you'll be at this same point 2 years later wishing you did it, especially if you need it being a revision.
