Of course I remember Miami Vice! I never watched it but it was so popular everyone knew about it. I think we are about the same age.

What a cool job @Sophie7713

Oh Cheeseburgh, Miami was a brilliant and vibrant city to live + work as a young designer! A lot of up and coming talent on the scene... Loved it. My sorority sister from U of Miami dated Don Johnson briefly when he was separated on and off from Melanie Griffith. But before fame - the real heart throb was Andy Garcia, a senior when I was a freshman at FIU. On the weekends, all us girls would hit Coconut Grove to hear our favorite band - The Miami Sound Machine featuring unknown Gloria Estefan, at that time. Fun. I still crank up her greatest hits for dancing! ;]

Vegan gyros with shiitake and red onions with soy skyr dip and rucola cress. Part of ciabatta roll. Just the right thing after a semi-awful 24 h shift.

The older hospital doctors even know 36 h shifts. Granted, evenings, nights and weekends weren't as busy in their days as they are today.

Got about 3.5 h of sleep this time and that's not that bad. Anyway, the hospitals know how to stretch the law in their favor. Some more months of this before going into on-call only again in January. I'm too old for this sh*t.

I think I have frozen grapes at least 3 times a week. The seedless black grapes are my favorite. costco was out of them last week and I had withdrawals. They did have cherries though!

How fun and it sounds glamorous! It made me laugh when I think of my celebrity encounter about the same timeframe since it was the polar opposite!

I went to UW (Madison), I was at a house party and an older guy sat down next to me and we started chatting. He seemed annoyed with me because I wasn’t interested in talking to him. Finally he said, don’t you know who I am? I replied no. He introduced himself as Tom Wopat, I still had no clue. Then he said he was on The tv show Dukes of Hazzard. I just laughed and said sorry I don’t watch that show and left (I’m sure I was tipsy). That was true, but if the blond guy had been at that party I would have recognized him, he was the cute one.

I didn’t watch either show but Miami Vice vs. Dukes of Hazzard is an easy call!

Ok, going off on a tangent from food here, but I have to share my one and only celebrity encounter myself. 10 years ago, we got to meet Alicia Keyes backstage when she was in town for a concert. The Kid was sooooo upset she didnt get to go to the concert (she was 5!) because her fave song at the time was "No One", so she basically had a meltdown when she found out we met her AND had a picture with her....so I photo-shopped her into it, lol. Over the years, I think she convinced herself she was actually there now. 🤣

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
