Yeah, I've had a look. I think digestives are pretty close, although they look a little thicker.

So do you sandwich up the marshmallows and some chocolate, wrap it in foil and put it in the coals?

......... I can't believe I'm looking forward to something that in reality, I'll probably have one bite of!

Can't believe we are talking about junk food recipes on here... But it's in the spirt of sharing our great (fat) American culture with the Aussies :P

Just copied this recipe...

To make a perfect smore, first take a square-shaped graham cracker. Our family enjoys Honey Maid graham crackers, but even store brand will do. Then, you will need a square of chocolate on top of the graham cracker. We use Hershey's chocolate, but any chocolate will do. I especially like Hershey's Special Dark chocolate on my s'mores. Next, you roast a marshmallow over an open fire. To roast the perfect marshmallow, the sugar should caramelize without burning. I take a stick or metal skewer and hold the marshmallow on the stick about 2 inches above the fire, turning it frequently until it is a caramel brown color without burning. Although, some people do enjoy it when their marshmallow catches fire and creates a black crust on the outside of the marshmallow. Then, when the marshmallow is nice and hot, you are ready to press it between two graham crackers. You remove the marshmallow with the top graham cracker, using it to slide the marshmallow off the stick. Finally, press the marshmallow on top of the chocolate with the graham cracker you used to slide the marshmallow off the roasting stick. The heat from the marshmallow will melt the chocolate. When pressed together, it makes a 'sandwich' of sorts, with the layers being: Honey Maid graham cracker, Hershey's chocolate square, roasted marshmallow, then another graham cracker.

Maybe its for the best that she left. Maybe she will find a forum more suited to her and they can stroke her ego. Its akin to her saying Im prettier than you. You can win friends and influence people by calling others Fatties. And alsoadding if you have nothing to add move along. Its just plain rude. I had many people say Im not big enough for surgery and I told them all Im big enuff. They were trying to be nice I mean who knows what to say? I was 240 when in early Dec 12 I found out I was approved. During tbat time before surgery I ate up to 247, stupid I know! We are all on here to support each other regardless if we are 200 or 600 we have the same struggles. I was scared to death of dying to table and so many women and men here calmed myfears, Im forever grateful!

Mad at myself for my loss of control.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
