    Need a piano player

    Hey guys, this might seem like an odd request but I don't really have anywhere else to ask this. I'm working on a gift for someone. It's a crochet scarf that's going to look like sheet music. White scarf with black lines and music notes on it. I want the notes to be from an actual piece of music so what I'm looking for is a piece of piano music that is kinda simple so I can crochet the notes but also kind of well known does that make any sense at all? thanks in advance if anyone can help

    Need some help ladies!

    yea I would order it larger, it is easier to take it in later than to let it out

    Just a little venting

    So last night my husband and I were meeting a friend at a restaurant for dinner. As we were pulling up I said to my husband remember I prefer a table not a booth (I feel too tight in a booth still) and he says, well [friend's name] prefers booths. We go in and meet her and I politely said to her do you mind if we get a table not a booth, then she goes up to the hostess and says can we please have a booth for three. GRRRRR I know it's minor but it really pissed me off

    What’s Your Restaurant Secret?

    Yes I do this too. I try to find out where we're going ahead of time and look at their menu online and figure out what I want at home. My favorite so far has been the ahi tuna crisp apetizer at Friday's.
  6. yes, this has been the best thing about surgery! I still love food but it doesn't rule my life. I feel satisfaction now
  7. I still love food too, but I do feel differntly about food. I can have a bite or two of something I really love and stop there, I don't feel the need to keep eating. At Halloween I actually bought a bag of candy and had no problem eating one fun size piece a day. and only one
  8. even now I still find myself looking at a small portion on my plate and thinking "no way this is enough food, is this how skinny people eat?"

    congrats on the loss but what do you mean "only"? 15 lbs in less than a month is amazing

    Planet fitness vs YMCA

    our YMCA was very expensive just for the gym. I go to Snap fitness which I love. It's 24 hours and not many people

    Bad food cravings, any suggestions?

    I have mac and cheese all the time. I just use my little bowl and eat my small portion. I think going cold turkey will lead to more cravings. I think that if you havve a craving for something then eat a little bit
  15. I had the sleeve, my actual surgery was about an hour according to hubbs

    Leaving hospital

    there are apps that can help you with timers and such. For me I just kept a big bottle of water in front of me so it was always in my sight. It also helped that it was still warm out when I had my sleeve so I was always thirsty.

    How Did You Do on Thanksgiving?

    Thanksgiving was great. A bunch of people complimented me on my weight loss I ate a few bites of some of my favorite appetizers, then I had a small piece of turkey and even had some dessert it was a very satisfying meal and I didn't feel overfull after or anything.

    use a small plate, stop when you're full
  19. The sleeve will resolve diabetes also. I like the idea of the sleeve because they actually remove your stomach and it includes the hunger hormone so you don't get that hunger anymore.
  20. I'm loosing from the top down, my face is much thinner but not so much my bottom half. I look like a dripping candle

    Easy No Rice Sushi

    I made myself some no rice sushi the other day and it was so good. Some super fresh salmon that I froze for a week and defrosted in the fridge. I cut it into slices and wrapped the in seaweed. I just ate it like a cigar and dipped it into soy sauce. It was so good.

    My first "pureed" food

    congrats on the loss. it's an interesting thing isn't it. I'm glad I can't eat much and have lost weight but sometimes it's dissapointing to be full after only a few bites. I made a slow cooker pulled pork for dinner tonight and it tasted so amazing that I was actually kind of sad that I could only eat three bites of it

    When can I drive

    if you're taking pain medication don't drive. In general you can drive when your doctor says you can drive

    What’s Your Restaurant Secret?

    Ive been out for sushi a couple times already and it was great. At first I just ordered the sashimi appetizer and that was enough. Last time I ordered the sashimi entree and was able to eat 2/3 of it and my husband finished it
  25. that's what the dishwasher is for
