Why beef? And why cubes? I like beef. chicken is okay. Lamb is my favorite. Seafood (salmon, tuna) is something I have to push myself to eat. Which provides the most Protein with the fewest calories?

Variety sounds like a better bet. Have you tried mixing beef with lentils, onions, and a healthy grain like quinoa? Make a meal instead of just meat.

Congratulations on being so active. I have a three-wheeled trike, but I have to be under 200lbs before I can use it. Not there yet. I don't feel comfortable swimming in a public pool with men sharing the same facility. I would like to try lifting some weights, but I'm afraid of overdoing it and injuring myself.

I also have a chronic ankle injury that prevents me from weight-bearing exercise on that ankle. My stationary bike is boring.

Do you have someone helping you plan your exercise program?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
