Yep, dried ones.

It could be the combo of my cooking, plus lentils that makes them bow out.

I don't think they've ever had them.

Back a few pages there was a post ( I should go back and find it -- but I am lazy!) with a laugh over a typ0-----Plain ended up being Pain....and of course we all know better....BUT, made me remember a goof I made!

A couple of years ago, somehow a thread got around to us talking about fireplaces and all the exercise you get with them, hauling wood all the time. I meant to say I needed to get a Dust Buster to clean around ours....I typed that I needed a Bust Duster.....but hey, I got a few offers!!!

LOL

Posting to say the Georgia State Fair starts this weekend...

I will not eat a funnel cake - oh they are so my weakness. I haven't tried anything else deep fried - I really don't want to know what I may be missing. Hoping DH and I can go this weekend - seeing if MIL will keep the kids. We just like to walk around, maybe ride the scrambler - I can fit now - whohoo! When we take the kids it costs at least $200.00. I don't know and haven't decided yet. The local fair comes the first week in November - we're definately taking the kids then...got to go to the demolition derby - ah cars, crashes and the smell of burnt oil - gotta love the south! (maybe they have those elsewhere too - I don't know). I'm not going to the lawnmower races this year though - I'll wait for the real action.

I looooove demolition derbies. The destruction is awesome. At the fairs around here there is always several!! Good old West Virginia. Even the ohio fairs have them. I think they are pretty much a must in every state fair. I enjoy the tractor pulls too and boat races. I live by the river so usually we have boat races around festival/fair times or just randomly. It's neat to hear and watch.:cool2:

I know SPCA will put the Pitt down, and that makes me sad.

I understand where they are coming from, but I agree that it's sad. My son's gf's dad has pits. They are actually very friendly and sweet dogs. But all animals are unpredictable at heart -- even the best trained ones, which his most definitely are not -- and, if a pit is unpredictable and decides you are a threat and attacks you, it's jaw is so strong that it can inflict major damage and even kill you. So they are kind of like ticking time bombs that way.

Y'all are seriously makin' me hungry!

Yeah, have a heart. Some of us are still on liquids!

As a side note, I've been off my blood pressure meds since the surgery. I have to monitor my blood pressure and it does fluctuate wildly, but it stays under 140/85 which is the point where I need to go back on them. So, I'm not home free yet, but it's looking good.

So I told her, actually I had lost my weight thanks to a lap band, that is was great, and if she was interested I could give her links to some great informational sites (gonna send her to OH!!), or answer any questions!

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see the look on her face!

Yeah I'm not ashamed, if I find deep fried or chocolate covered bacon.. I will be trying it!

I saw the deep fried bacon on TV once, it looked like a heart attack on a plate. I love sweet/salty combos so I would SO go for the chocolate covered bacon.

Anything below 60 is officially cold. It's such a Texas thing, I think.

I put on my first jacket because we got below 60. We do get a little lower every once and a while.

I'm from Chicago

Pizzeria Uno:drool: Sorry, I have only been there once, but that place made an impression.

Chicken Fried Bacon - now that is something that sounds interesting...how do you do that I wonder???

The TV show that I watched had them dip it in a batter similar to beer batter. Then they dropped the very thick cut bacon in hot oil for like a minute or two. It looked so fattening. It was created in Texas though.

It's a good thing I am home alone. My DH would have thought I was crazy in here laughing out loud at some of the things you all have said. You all make my day.:cool2:

      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. 💜

      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. 💗

        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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
