I finally made the thread for those of us who are scheduled for May 15th. It'll be fun to hear how all of us are doing during our journeys. Feel free to share!

There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Dont forget to FOLLOW the thread!

So what's for dinner. Black Beans again. Lol. Love them. But I did cook two shrimp to go with it. I'm not enjoying the shrimp too much and they're my favorite seafood of all time. Maybe I didn't season good enough. They're tasting a little bit too fishy for me. But it's not upsetting my stomach. Maybe some cheese on top will make it better. ?

Should have just made one shrimp. I didn't anticipate finishing, and I'm totally not finishing it

Looks yummy, but I can't eat shellfish. My dh loves black beans and rice. I haven't tried any meats yet, but I bought some salmon today so very soon I will try some.

I didn't think to get salmon. But I will get my ingredients for the ricotta bake. Looks very good.

Looks like masterchef plating. Very beautiful. Love shrimp.

There are THOUSANDS of great men that can be great husbands out there! I'm assuming you're single based on your post. So, with that...you have it best really (in my opinion) to just really truly focus on yourself. I think you have children too? Older? So, yeah, enjoy your time. Take care of you. Live it hon. A good man can come along...have faith. [emoji4]

You girls are so inspiring.. i'm reading the stories about your husbands and i think to myself.. one day i will have a companion. I also dont have kids. I'm 29 years old. I'm trying to give myself all the things i want before someone comes along. But i love the stories of companionships .

Love salmon. I had tuna fish today i did pretty good with 2oz had to do in three parts but it was done plus i jazzed up my water and made limeade with true lime and equal sugar. Got 60 grams of protein in also.

Nighty night ladies. All of you sleep well and enjoy the rest of your night. Feel better, BBP.

Ugh can I say I feel so lucky to have this chat with you girls.. i find myself agreeing to everything you guys say regarding healthy choices and relationships. I cant wait to post about my food choices.. actually i'll post what i have on my notes so far for when i start puree on monday or even when i start eating solid foods

I tried to tackle things that we use often without thinking that makes us fat. To make a difference with carbs and calories intake to then allow myself to use those calories for better dishes.

That is smart. I don't think to jot stuff down...I can only imagine all the stuff I've forgotten. Good for you hon. I think I'll try the tea alternative. Only because my coffee isn't all it's up to be these days. I think it's the ridiculous sweeteners. Meh. Thanks for sharing!!!
