Wow, you look fabulous! Congratulations!

It was 2 hours later where I first started coming out of it. I don't remember being moved into the bed in my room or anything. Good drugs!

This sounds really good - I love artichoke hearts!

I travel about once a month for work, I manage a call center and was temporarily assigned a second one in another city. I asked for a seat belt extender on this trip, got to my seat, and found out I didn't need it!

You look gorgeous, congratulations!

That is awesome, congratulations!

Congratulations!

You look very handsome! My six year old likes looking at the before and after photos with me, and she said you have good muscles!

Wow, congratulations!

I have read somewhere on this board that someone suggested making mini-pizzas out of the large sandwich style pepperoni you can get at the deli counter. You can put the toppings on top of that and bake. I also saw a blog post where someone made them from the large portabella mushrooms being the crust. A lot of people have been raving about cauliflower crust pizza, I haven't tried it yet, but here's one recipe I want to try. And one last thought! I made this Where's the crust pizza? pre-VSG. My daughter did not like it, but I did. I will be making it again sometime. Good luck!

Tiny food Party: Bite Size recipes for Miniature Meals I am on the waiting list for this book at the library. This subject fascinates me. I thought it might be fun to try.

Congratulations!!!!!

Coming from a fellow Type 2 diabetic - WAY TO GO! It is an amazing feeling to get those below 100 readings!

Congratulations!

I made this tonight for dinner and LOVED it! Five out of five stars. Too bad my six year old didn't care for it, but she's not a veggie fan. I used a smaller spaghetti squash, it netted about 3 cups of strands for the recipe. So that's what I used to calulate the nutrition in MFP. For a total of 8 servings, each serving would have 243 calories, 6 carbs, 16 grams fat, 20 grams protein! Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Sausage ★★★★★ Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 45 mins | Servings: 8 | Difficulty: Easy 1 Spaghetti Squash (3lbs) 2 T Olive Oil (divided in two parts) 5 or 6 medium Shallots, thickly sliced 3 cloves Garlic, crushed or finely minced 3/4 lb uncooked Sausage 1 c coarsely grated Parmigiana Reggiano 1 T finely chopped Oregano Sea Salt and Pepper to taste Preheat Oven to 375°F. Oil a sheet pan with first 1 T of olive oil. 1. Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. (Use the tip of the knife to first pierce and get the cut started. Once you get the first cut started the rest of the squash should slice easily.) Scoop out the seeds and strands, then place cut side down on the prepared sheet pan. 2. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the squash flesh separates easily into strands with a fork. Finish loosening and removing the “spaghetti” from the shells and set aside. 3. Onto a large sheet of butcher paper or similar, pinch and pull small balls of sausage out of the casing, laying them so they stay slightly separate. Continue for all of the sausage. 4. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Heat second 1 T of olive oil in pan, then add shallots and garlic. Cook until soft, stirring every 30 seconds, then add sausage. Cook untouched until bottom side of sausage starts to brown, then stir. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the sausage is cooked through (@2-3 minutes depending on heat and size of sausage). 5. Add spaghetti squash strands to the sausage and continue cooking until heated (usually less than a minute.) 6. Remove from heat. Toss in Parmigiana Reggiano and oregano. Season with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper (remember the cheese will have a bit of “saltiness” to it already.) Serve immediately. http://whiteonriceco...squash-sausage/

Wow, you look positively amazing. I find your story so relevant because we were at a similar starting weight. Congratulations!

Also love the yoga pants (crop style) from Old Navy. Just recently bought them in a smaller size!

Congrats! My sugars and BP are much better as well, hoping for similar results as you withy diabetes.
