We've got everything we need so now we're just waiting. We have a large tree beside of where we park our cars. Hubby moved the cars to another area because limbs frequently come off that tree when it gets too windy. I just don't want to lose power. I need my ac and fans. 😂

Do you have a World Market near you? Ours usually has a great selection of the syrups.

@GreenTealaelwhat is the red on the avocado? A sauce or spice? Looks yummy!

Glad today was a good day for you! When the nausea hits do you have a little time before the vomiting starts? If it isn't immediately after the nausea starts ask your doctor for a script for Zofran melt. They dissolve quickly and kick in quickly. I absolutely love Zofran. Nausea hits me randomly due to one of my arthritis meds so I keep Zofran with me always. Adding things back one at a time sounds like a great idea. You should quickly be able to figure out the culprit(s). What brand of vitamins do you take?

Actually, Boone can flood too. I lived there for a while. Even here in Asheville, it's weird to see flooding in the mountains. Are you supposed to get rain from her later in the week?

Tonight's dinner was a slice of ham filled with cheese with some salsa. I'm using small plates. Just realized it looks like a huge portion but wasn't. Made the hubby a grilled ham and cheese. First time I've cooked for him since before the pre-op diet. I'm very thankful how supportive he has been. He hasn't been eating in front of me. It's nice to eat together again.

Good! Not yet. She's just delivering rain and high winds to us this evening. My area is supposed to have flooding, mudslides and rockslides. Hoping it doesn't get as bad as they say.

Can’t tell what the app is, I’m curious now! It's the Bariastic app. I use it as well. You can track calories and water intake also. It's a free app.

Hey @Frustr8! How are you? I was just going to ask in another thread if anyone had heard from you. Sorry for the rough time last night and today. Hope you're completely past it now.

@ellie123how are you today?

Coworkers keep joking that I'll be such a cheap date now.

Last night I tried to do a before and after but forgot the after. Here's the before. I was able to eat it all but it was a very small portion of the ricotta bake.

After you go I'm sure you'll weigh less. Any relief yet?

Add me to the list of those who have hit the 3 week stall.

Hope he can get one quickly. Hugs!

Hi @roseinnj! My RNY was 8/23 and I'm still struggling to get in my daily protein and water. I try but it feels like I'm always drinking. It will take us a while to get to our new normal.

@Megan Sadler hope you get relief soon. That's a miserable feeling. Mirilax has been a close friend of mine for several years. If I have one day without a BM I have to drink it.

Thanks! I don't think I'm at that point yet though. My bathing suit fits still. Boooooo! They won't let me back in the pool for a few more weeks though. Hopefully by then I can get into my new smaller one. You're going to be in size 12 before you know it!

ChellNC, I’ve gotten really lucky and scored a bunch of hand me downs from friends and family members. Hopefully you have some folks close to you that can hook you up when the time comes! That's awesome!

Thanks @Megan Sadler! I'm feeling better now. Awesome that you're able to get the extra veggies. Someone asked me recently when I was going to buy new clothes. I've not lost enough to buy clothes yet. But money is super tight for us right now too. If the hubby hadn't needed surgery it wouldn't be this bad but still tight. Tacos sound so good right now!

Sorry she is treating you this way. That isn't acceptable. Hugs.

Hi there! Sorry you've been back in the hospital twice. Are you on the mend now? Glad I'm not alone in feeling this way. Thanks for the support.

You poor woman! Gentle hugs. My doctor said as long as the pain was tolerable and nothing was red or swollen I am okay. The pain has been minimal today.

Me too. My NUT suggests adding unflavored protein to some foods. The unflavored protein I bought is really no added flavors and it is not tasty. Hope you're able to get all of yours in soon.

Hopefully it isn't anything concerning for either of us.
