I'm an idiot! Thought I posted this in the Funnies thread!

Wow, that looks great!

You look great. I've appreciated getting to share your journey. You are very inspirational, especially with all the challenges you host and all your helpful commenting! Hope they find something for the GERD soon.

That looks really good!

Last night's dinner from the air fryer! YUM! I ate about 1/6 of the recipe (1 cup) No afters! https://www.skinnytaste.com/air-fryer-cajun-shrimp-dinner/

Most posts I've read report being treated better after losing weight, like they're no longer invisible. But there are always those jealous or resentful souls out there that begrudge you your success or were maybe secretly hoping you'd fail. Sorry you're going through this.

The 30 ml/15 minutes is the minimum to get all your fluid in. You can pretty much sip constantly if it causes you no pain. I could drink pretty much normally by the time I got home from the hospital. So long as you just sip. Same goes for broth.

Wow, I never would have eaten 4 biscuits even before surgery!

Just large button mushrooms. I think I'd try baby portobellos next time so that there's a bit more room for filling!

Congrats on your success and thank you for sharing. There aren't many vets on here and that long-term information is soooo helpful!

Thanks, they were. Great use of leftover taco meat and cooked in the air fryer.

Taco-stuffed mushrooms, no afters

How did you keep them in the wedges, without them falling apart into coleslaw?

I just bought cabbage last night to try cabbage steaks! Is this a skinnytaste recipe or one you made up?

Well, that's a cool bit of history! Thanks!

OMgosh, what are you lifting? Anvils?

I don't understand!

It just depends on the technique your surgeon uses.

Congrats, that's wonderful!
