I had the money, but there was this really cute outfit in the store window & I just had to have it...... well, jails not so bad, right?

One Texas whipping coming up!

Good luck and have a speedy recovery.

Yellow Rose, yea my Yellow Rose of Texas.

Go try on a smaller size, you may be surprised. You will never know till you try. I bet you a smaller size will fit.

Welcome Liz, ask away!

Now a name for mine. Humm.... I am the Texas Princess, any suggestions Stud Muffin?

This is making the last hour of work on a Friday entertaining. Thanks love birds!

Check with your doctor, I'm not sure. But you could try sucking on a sugar free popsicle.

When he is good do you call him Studmuffin?

See, she's lurking everywhere......

Don't mess with the pink princess, she has an evil twin. I've seen it & it's not pretty. Lol

Onions? Are they getting a bad rap now?? Hope not I eat them all the time. What would my recipes taste like without onions....... I don't want to know.

Check with your doctor, mine has no problems with straws. I occationally use a straw with a protein shake.

Gabby, if you are going to wait till next week to call your doctor I suggest you go back to liquids for 24 hrs, then mushies for 24 hrs. If you have trouble keeping that down you are probably too tight. Your band is currently irritated from you getting sick (why I suggest liquids). If you do ok with the liquids/mushies then slowly go to solids. Small bites, chew to mush and eat slow. You will need to retrain yourself. It seams I have to retrain myself after every fill. But, if you cannot keep liquids down please don't wait till next week. It will only get worse and you could damage your band. Good luck to you.

Congrats on the NSV, that's awesome!

Thoughts and prayers to you and Maddy. What a brave little girl. ***hugs***

I have read so many postings of banders wanting to know what to eat, what can they eat, etc.... I would like to share my evening meal with everyone to show that banders can eat just like everyone else and can enjoy it. Plus I want to brag about it!! lol Ok, let me set the mood. It rained all day Saturday thru Sunday morning, then the sun came out for the day, by Sunday evening it was gorgeous outside, about 78 degrees, crisp air with the smell of the rain, perfect for a BBQ. This is the menu my husband and I enjoyed: 1 glass (5oz) of Zinfandel wine from my favorite Texas winary (drank while BBQing) 1 3oz bacon wrapped beef tenderloin (I didn't eat the bacon,I could but I didn't want it) 1/4 cup Butternut Squash that was brushed with Olive Oil and grilled (about 7 minutes a side) (Note: Squash was grown in our garden so it tastes that much better!) 1/2 cup spinach, walnut & fat free cheddar cheese salad with homemade Balsamic vinaigrette The whole meal including the wine was just under 350 calories. The beautiful evening (& company) was priceless!
