nothing to do with any of the threads previously posted here.

Just need to vent...

I guess people take offense on some threads when an educated answer is given. I only offered the advise as I did go to college for 4 years to major on the subject..

:)

i guess you didnt tell them what they wanted to hear. happens quite often :)

Please share.. I'm a fairly decent cook, I think?? But for some reason when I try to cook from a recipe it somehow never works for me.. If I experiment cook, I can come up with some awesome sauces and dishes.. but from a recipe, forget it... funny hugh??
Here it is:

Ingredients:

13 x 9 baking pan (glass is best), sprayed with Pam

2 lbs lean ground beef

1 TBSP minced garlic

9 lasagna noodles

8-12 ounces of ricotta cheese (I use whole-milk ricotta)

1-1.5 cups parmesan cheese

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

4 eggs

1/2 TBSP dried oregano

1 jar Bertolli Olive Oil and Garlic spaghetti sauce

1 jar Bertolli 5 Cheese spaghetti sauce

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cook lasagna noodles until you can just barely pierce them with a fingernail.
  • Brown ground beef with garlic and drain off the grease. Combine with both jars of sauce.
  • Mix eggs and ricotta cheese together until smooth. Add oregano. Add a handful each of mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Lay 3 noodles on bottom of sprayed dish. Spoon 1/3 of sauce mixture evenly on the noodles, then spoon 1/2 of ricotta mixture on. Sprinkle on a handful each of mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Add another layer of 3 noodles. Spoon another 1/3 of the sauce and remaining ricotta onto the lasagna.
  • Add remaining noodles. Top with remaining sauce. Cover with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. I usually bake for an hour, because my family likes our lasagna to be rather dark.

Like I said, it is definitely NOT low calorie or low fat, but it's one of my family's favorite "sometime dishes."

I am very aware that this is a "rant and rave" section and that things aren't supposed to be taken personally. That is a little difficult to do when so many people are saying things that are specific only to you.
to I can't stand glitter and images that are too large, all things that applied to my signature. That can't merely be coincidental.

I have to agree with what the others have said, you do seem to think it's about you, but it isn't. Hence:

Pet peeve on the board - like 24 pt bright pink font in all caps. Or 8 pages' worth of scrolling signature line with a guest appearance by every emoticaon known to man.

POsted by me 10/19/2007, in answer to "who have you had enough of":

You joined 10/24/2007 so how exactly is it referring to you? Chill, don't be a victim, most everything we talk about in here has a much larger umbrella than the "non-regulars" know.

Thanks.. I will try making it and will let you know how it turned out.
No prob! I hope it turns out well. Don't be surprised if the juices run over in your oven a tad. You may want to put a layer of aluminum foil on the rack below it. Otherwise, your oven might smoke a little on the next use. :)

I guess people take offense on some threads when an educated answer is given.
I have an advanced degree in psychology, but I'm far from a psychologist. Clinical work never interested me, I just wanted the education, really, because I think it's a fascinating field. However, even thuogh I don't practice it, I do know more about it than your Average Joe. One time on a thread LONG ago people were suggesting a bunch of self help books to someone who was experiencing some mental dysfunction. I posted that I wasn't a fan of self help books, and instead recommended a book that would really tell you what's behind a mental condition (I think the person was wanting to know what the symptoms of smtg were).

OMG, you would have thought the others in the thread had disabled puppies that I tortured and molested.

One person in particular PMed me about how I didn't know what I was talking about, had I ever even taken a psychology class (uhh... no, I just "found" the MS), how dare I say self help books aren't worth a crap... and how this person was so offended that I disagreed with them.

SO Iresponded, trying to validate what I had said, and asking this person repeatedly to explain what I did that personally offended them.

In response I get something to the effect of "I'm not looking for an argument, and don't respond to me again. And don't ever post to me. And don't mention this post. And don't reply to me."

Ahhh, gotta love a person who wants to walk in, poke you in the eye, tell you not to poke back, and then runs away before you have a chance to react.

Eek.. I'm a newbie and I'm officially now scared to post on this board. LOL. You guys are lap band snobs... LOL. You've lost so much weight you think you can be mean to the newbs... I see how it is :-) But seriously, setting joking aside, I'm definitely gonna try really hard not to post stupid questions that will annoy everyone, and even though I have been researching the lap band for a long time and also wondered what the heck a PB is, now that I know where to go to look it up, I will do that and that question will never come out of my mouth, along with that slime question that was mentioned.

I've been on this forum since Oct and even though there are many people on here who are helpful you get a lot who are now so far up themselves, you'd think they one handedly invented this board and some who are downright nasty (suppressed anger from all the years of eating their emotions away). This place is for everyone to ask questions, stupid or not. Just like any other forum, you have people you get on with and people you don't. I suggest some of you think before you post and put people looking for help off.

Hi

Just wandering around the site reading and trying to figure out how to do this. Interesting! I am a newbie and have lots to learn. I know I'm coming in part way through existing threads and conversations but who is Ambyr?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
