JessieBear, you are the queen of cooking. Here's my small contribution:

Cranberry Crockpot chicken (my favorite)

1 16 oz. can cranberries

1 8 oz. bottle French dressing

1 package Lipton Onion Soup

6-8 chicken breasts

Stick it all in the crockpot for about 3 hours on high. I just love this recipe.

======================================================

Comfort food Chicken

1 bottle mild salsa (I love the Sam's club salsa with this)

1 can black or kidney Beans

1 can corn

6-8 chicken breasts (or whatever fits)

Put half of the salsa, all of the drained Beans and corn in the bottom of the crock pot. Add chicken. Pour remaining salsa over chicken.

I didn't think this recipe sounded very good when I got it, but it's very filling (I think because of the protien content in chicken and beans) and feels like comfort food.< /p>

Here is an awesome recipe. I make it at least 1x a week. The pork is moist, good for a bandster. I'm not banded yet, but hope to be and this will be something I'll make!

Puddin.....the cranberry chicken sounds wonderful! I don't know why, but I've never liked cranberries but in the past few months I want to try everything with them in it? I've also made the other chicken recipe you posted and it's great too. My recipe calls for a can of cr of chicken Soup and I added taco sauce for flavor. The chicken is the moistest I've ever had!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
