No game

I just had my four month appointment, they sent paperwork beforehand to get the blood work.

15 days out and only lost 10??? If I were you I'd put a phone call into the doctor.... Something doesn't sound right.

Noticed by whom I wonder? the one losing weight or the partner? And if these issues were not noticed, that is a sorry state of affairs....

I didn't weigh myself until I looked down and my stomach didn't look like a sick and bloated "Frankenbelly" .....

But don't you think that if a person "gained more self confidence" and their partner saw that as a "threat" that would indicate some underlying problems to begin with? It would sound like some unhealthy control issues to me.

I think that yes, it probably has more to do with relationship problems before the surgery... I've seen a lot of individuals here speak of problems in their marriage going into this surgery... So add in one major life changing event into an already precarious situation? it could happen.. But it probably would of happened anyway. Still it's sad..

You poor thing.. Did they say why no Jello? I mean most people can have that on the clear liquid part! And pudding on full liquids.

You weren't able to do jello or sf pudding? On full liquids?

I'm sorry that you are going through this.. Was your wife unhappy with your decision? As far as the divorce rate? I don't know but 90% Sound really high! Laura

Medi-cal pays for WLS??

Kale or borecole is a form of cabbage (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group), with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms. The species Brassica oleracea contains a wide array of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. The cultivar group Acephala also includes spring greens and collard greens, which are extremely similar genetically.

Well there's the problem! I come from a long line of grumpy "portagee's" that can't cook (outside of blood sausage, linguica and soupish)

Awesome news sannah! Reading this just put the biggest smile on my face So glad your night is going well! And thank you for squeezing that little love bug for me! Boy, I miss having a little one running around. Laura

Don't be scared its really easy!! And you will be done before you know it! I promise.. If its not you can come back and yell at me for lying, ok?

A rubber glove and some lube.......

Or you can buy some Liptons onion Soup mix and follow the meatloaf recipe and then just make them into balls.... My kids like that Oh and I use ground turkey

I do!!! Go to Costco and pick up a big bag of those frozen ones!!!

You will be "consciously sedated" so you will be awake but really out of it and really won't remember it... But it's kinda like a "truth serum" And some people say some pretty outrageous stuff, hehehe

To dry fry, I cut up my tofu and slow fry it with no oil or butter on a non stick griddle or you can use a cast Iron pan. I fry it on a lower heat to get the moisture out and crisp it up. Tofu isn't really high in carbs, I buy mine at trader joes... Also after you dry fry it you can do different things with it...like marinade in anything (it is tasteless so will soak up any flavor) and stir fry with veggies I like it marinaded sometimes but I will also eat it just straight from the fridge cold after dry frying it

I like to "dry fry" tofu and keep it to snack on, With hummus.

When you can... I go to costco, I still drink a "premier" shake for Breakfast 30 grams of Protein "Kirkland premium extra lean all natural turkey burgers" 35 grams of protein And also trident seafoods "Alaskan salmon burgers" 20 grams of protein.

Sannah, I'm so glad you had an uplifting and productive appointment today! Take care. Laura
