Ahlan! Where in Cairo do you live? I lived there for two years and taught at the American International in Egypt. I absolutely adore Egypt. So glad you found this thread.

I have the perfect guy for you. The only thing is that he's Christian, not Muslim. Born in Syria, graduated from Ga. Tech and is an engineer. He's pretty religious too. His dad is a preacher and he is also working toward his masters degree in seminary... and he's super handsome, kind, sweet, etc.. I know you said you aren't really religious, though. Love, love this guy and would go for him myself if he weren't 10 years younger! I know you're mostly joking but couldn't help but write about him because he's just so awesome.

Oh and here's something I think you'll get a kick out of... one of the first things I learned to say in Arabic was, " Ana mitgawiizha" (I'm married). Apologies for the poor transliteration. Cairo is full of flirty, flirty men. :)

Just FYI everyone, foulen (fava beans) are excellent Protein and Fiber source. Just dont overdo the olive oil....i only put half a teaspoon if not less in mine. Fresh lime or lemon juice and some cumin. I had it with egg this morning. I am still missing falafel, but I will save that craving for when I get to Alexandria this year ISA.

Oh, I love fava Beans. My Sudenese friends showed me how to cook them with galic, tomtoes, onions, cumin, and then a big spoon of Peanut Butter then dressed with olive oil and fresh lemon. I always eat them with pita though. However, when I am post sleeve I will try to remember to eat some fool.

Haha, I am post sleeve and could only get a tablespoon in and some egg. I was full. I was able to eat it at 4 weeks out when I was on mushies because I made super soft. Good luck with your surgery.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
