The smell of fresh cut grass.

The sound my cat makes when she is totally contented and purring.

I love the way a rose petal feels.

Oh and the smell of coffee when you first open that can up and it makes that little hissy sound...

whiskers of my kitten? Well, that would include the smell of wet cedar, High thread count cotton sheets, fresh from the dryer, my son's wacky sense of humor, and the way my DH looks at me when I look at him.

Mandy, I don't know what made me smile more, that awesome compliment or waking up to your lil one. I actually did find TWO Fountains of Youth! One is my Sweet Cherry Pie (my new Harley) and well, let's just say Slumber Parties keeps me glowing!

Which brings me to... a five minute toe-curler!

coffee? ?? in a *gasp* Can??? Who could do a thing like that!!! Coffee ground in your coffee grinder smells good!!! ( Darn those Seattle Coffee Snobs)

Lots of cold rain on a dark morning when you can sleep deep under northern nights flannel sheets and down comfortors while the sound of rain tinkling down the rain spout clinkles and drips and your automatic coffee maker starts perking and sending the SSMMMEEELLLL of fresh brew down the dark hallway calling your name as you think it over a while before getting up. (I love my WelbutrinXR)

Victoriana, you make me smile. :) Thank you!

I love a beautiful sunset. I love seeing my family all together and laughing. My brother's face when he looks in the face of an infant. Singing with my sister. Listening to my children talk when they don't know I'm listening. :biggrin1:

You mean to tell me that coffee can come from somewhere other than a drive-thru? I would be lost without Star Bucks and Java Joes. Tell me more about this home-brewed coffee that you speak of...Mandy

Wake up everyone, the dark is gone.

Mandy, haven't you seen the new coffee in a can that heats itself up? I can't remember if it's Wolfgang Puck or maybe Seattle's Best (but I do remember it's a famous name brand.) It's a single serving can that has this odd contraption built right in. You pop the seal and wait 5 minutes, and you've got a steamy cup of latte' or capucino. I was leary but just had to try one, and it was pretty darn good, and the can really did get real hot! So there's a coffee in a can that you'll love!

I tried one of those self heating coffee cans. They weren't bad at all.

We order coffee from a roaster near San Fransisco. He literally roasts the Beans, bags 'em up and ships them to me overnight. When a box of that arrives at the office, the whole place smells like coffee before we ever open it up.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A light shower? I haven't been riding long enough to catch much rain, but when it did start pouring everyone ran for shelter but me. I rode down the street getting soaking wet laughing my pants off! That was so damn fun! Let it rain, let it rain.

Another favorite thing is waking up with Piglet's face tucked into me. That's my girly Pitbull who sleeps on my pillow. She snuggles in so tight and snores in my ear all night, but sometimes I wake up with her face sleeping in the palm of my hand.

Sitting in the garden room with my gray striped cat on the back of the chair, purrrrrrrring..

Sitting on the deck in the sun in January.

Watching the pattern of lights on the ceiling at Christmas time... the old style twinkle lights put on quite a show.

Dear Pierced,, Some of us po folk have to resort to home brew, I don't think its called moonshine though, not in this region. It's strangely easy, Hot Water, drip filters, n, gravity and um well, it happens when I'm half asleep...lol

I absolutely love babies and children, young teens and all the crazed times in between.

Letha g, your brothers face, and children when they don't know your listening,

Vines, your sons humor

Minnie me, the dark is gone now..How precious is that?

Children are indeed my most favorite thing. There isn't a rotten one in the whole wide world. Each one such a mystery and treasure. God bless them. and may his face shine upon them!!

Sometimes I think God has a great big bed covered in a huge down comforter, that is where he keeps the blessing of children alive.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
