You need to move to Texas - no weight on driver's licenses!

Here are today's crab rangoons! Much prettier! (And yummy!)

Yes, the basket style is pretty ugly!

I am so sorry that you've had such terrible complications. Hoping everything turns around for you quickly.

Maybe tonight - last night's came out "deconstructed" - I think I left air inside the pockets. They kind of exploded ? Still tasted good, though.

Thanks, Danny Paul. I bought an accessory kit and it includes the parchment paper liners. Haven't tried to use them yet. Had my first attempt at crab rangoons last night - I need more practice! I'm going to try a breaded pork chop tomorrow. Fun, fun, fun! ?

OK, this was my attempt! Not so pretty, but delicious! Next time I think it will be worth the upcharge to buy the thin-sliced chicken cutlets. I couldn't cut them thin enough or consistent enough

Congrats on toughing it out so long with that stall. Must have been infuriating! So glad the scale is with you again!

I'm resurrecting this topic because I just got an air fryer. Only thing I've cooked so far is French Fries for hubby and sons, but I'm going to try to make these tonight: https://www.skinnytaste.com/cheesy-jalapeno-popper-baked-stuffed/ They look soooo good! I'll let you know how it goes!

Congrats! You look amazing!

No, so long as you're not drinking to the point of causing yourself pain.

Great article, thanks!

Very rude and frustrating for not just the other veterans, but the newbies, as well. No matter how interesting her story, it is still just one person's story.

I just bought one - can't wait to try it!

Taylor, depending on where you choose to get surgery, it may take you 6 months or longer to go through the process. There are a few places that are quicker, but most of us had a 6 month or longer "pre-op" period when you go through counseling as well as informational and nutritional classes. There's no need to delay getting this part of the process started. (And, at least with my insurance, your first weigh-in with the surgeon's team is the weight they use to determine your qualifying BMI since they want you to lose weight during the 6 months.) They don't schedule surgery until you've completed all the pre-op requirements. Good luck!
