I would think he would get you some roses instead this year. You'll be able to have regular strawberries in a few weeks, so you have that to look forward to.

That’s a nice thought but I don’t like flowers. Such a waste of money lol

Fair enough, but chocolate covered strawberries are a waste of a perfectly good strawberry.

I have one in my office -- love it.

I don't have the best green thumb but I try my best to keep it alive :)

Good for you. You're looking at the long range benefits of sticking with the program as opposed to rationalizing how to go around it. That strawberry will taste much better next year.

why not a healthy sub? :) I say "healthy" cuz um, depends who you're asking! ;) Why not get some of the low carb strawberry Greek yogurt (on your plan) and add a squeeze of sugar free Hershey's chocolate Syrup to it? :)

I would get my HEB Plain Greek Yogurt and Walden Farms Strawberry pancake Syrup and the SF Hershey's and go to town with "dessert"! :) And say, better living through chemistry as I shoveled it down my piehole. :)

That sounds good. But i refuse to go to the grocery store again. While the bastards are freshly dipping strawberries right when you walk in. We don’t have a HEB here...where do you live? In the south?

Next year you can have one. And you will look fantastic and feel better than you have years I bet.

Think of that!

Yes exactly. Thank you. But it felt good to whine about this to people that get it :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
