In short,carbs are the devil The only diet that remotely works for me is high Protein and low to no carbs

Also try clearing your search history before starting a new search Sites track your history and you will get cheaper flights if they can't "see" that you are continually searching for a specific flight

Also, if you find a good fare most airline sites will let you put it on hold for a week or a few days at least

Make sure to check different airlines ....I bought my Christmas tickets like December 5th and paid actually 50$ less than I usually pay. I fly into a smaller airport with only 3 options of airlines so my options are limited. Is southwest an option for you? (Not sure where you fly from) I found a SW flight Chicago to Dallas for 41$ one way back in October...best fare I have ever gotten !!!! Good luck and start searching now

I know all of us pre operative people are excited to watch the numbers on the scale fall but what else? I can not wait to fee comfortable in my clothing, to sit on the couch or floor with my knees pulled up to my chest! I can't wait to wear designer clothes because right now I'm limited to shoes , purses and capes because nothing else fits! I'm also hoping to buy shoes that are not wides. So what are you looking forward to that doesn't involve the numbers on a scale?

This thread has given me so many new coffee ideas!!

As you may have seen my previous post, I am starting my pre op diet Sunday. I have done a liquid diet in the past and found that blending my drinks just to incorporate some air helped me to not feel so blasé about my food choices. I have a Vitamix I adore but it's not exactly something I can take to work. So I was considering something like a nutrition bullet. Any input? Suggestions for alternative brands??

Not in the bear community. I'm worried about being too thin. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk Oh wow that's excellent! As a woman I am always fearful of being stereotyped "butch lesbian" crap. In reality I'm uber girly so that makes people say "you don't LOOK gay" So apparently I can't win! Lol

I found this today while shopping at Target. Bought some and it tastes fabulous! Not strange taste at all and its PB minus the globby texture and most of the fat! I will definitely be adding a tad to chocolate shakes here and there.

So, my partner is joining me on a lot of aspects of my diet. I am eating my high Protein jell-o and she is not a jell-o lover at all so she has requested sugar free pudding. So, I bought sugar free chocolate pudding and because she wanted it to be high protein I made it with vanilla Protein shake. But it just occurred to me now that its made and in the fridge that it may not set properly due to lack of milk. Has anyone made pudding with protein shake? Was it a disaster or did it turn out ok? As for me, fingers crossed!

We joked maybe we should toss them in the freezer with sticks and try for pudding pops! Hahaha

Mine is liquid only...4 protein shakes, fat free broths,sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles and any other zero calorie liquid.

Very true!

Thanks all! I will check those out...my pudding set but just barely...um, let's call it soft set ????

Very nice!

You were unfairly ambushed during a very stressful moment when you were extremely vulnerable. (practically wheeling into the OR) ​Your insurance company will assist you in rectifying this situation. Good luck and please keep us updated on the status. You are not stupid and this is not your fault at all.

This thread has gone from being apprehensive to funny...thank you!

February 3rd! Super excited!!!

So I just watched the show on Hulu. Well then... ???? cLEAN MAMA DIET ...she is just a lot of trash talk....thought it was an NBA game there for a few min with all the trash talk from her. Has she even gone over food with her dieter or did I miss it? I agree that her dieter just looks so so done! But, I will continue to watch and I am not at all surprised that the one "expert" is gone after "cookiegate" She seemed more concerned about vegan foods than anything else.

I'm downing fat free broth like there is no tomorrow! I have never been a sweet person so I'm all for the beef broth, chicken broth and vegetable broth.

This is really bugging me....who actually told you they would not bill ins ? Because honestly Doctors/ nurses in the hospital do not control billing in a way. Someone does it for them. The hospital would bill for their portion..room/OR time/ medications etc and Dr's office would bill for their portion for services separately.

The reason I would attempt to file the claim myself and be reimbursed is that the MD already has your money. If they submit to insurance he gets paid AGAIN. Then you must wait for the MD to reimburse you. Most insurance companies will reimburse you for any out of pocket costs they actually cover

Omg! Hahahah If I ever hear that on a flight I'm coming In Search of you to say Hi!

I would also, at the next party function beat them to the punch and announce your surgery. Put yourself before they do and give them a taste of their own medicine I say

Yikes! Some people are just toxic.
