I am such a bad girl, I had been craving asian food for weeks, and my won ton Soup just wasn't cutting it. So I broke down and get the stuff to make some steamed veggie egg rolls. I have died on gone to heaven. I made 5 of them, gave the kids two each and I had one. HIT THE SPOT .. I steamed the veggies before I cooked the egg roll. Instead if deep frying it for two minutes I only had it in the fryer for 30 seconds because the veggies had been pre-cooked. Totally yummy! I need to figure out how to steam the egg roll itself so I don't have to put it in the oils ... Does anyone know how to make steamed egg rolls??????

Cheese cake and rare steak are my superwoman weaknesses (well my hubby is too but that is a WHOLE different thread). I can not pass up a rare seasoned perfectly steak, nor can I pass up a wedge of cheese cake, especially the ones I make *dies*

I would go get a unfill darlin. You are still tight if you can't eat properly. You should know better then I that if you can only get liquids down and minute amounts of food you are just to tight. You have to be able to eat, not drink your foods.

For me there have been a couple, Right after high school I had dropped a significant amount of weight (I am talking over 100lb weight loss) and I was sitting in the cafe studying for a english final (college) and an old acquaintance walked in and we started talking. Mid conversation he asked me if it was true I had contacted the HIV virus because I had lost so much weight. I was floored, I looked at him and said no, I have just been working out and watching what I eat, but it looked like he had contacted the stupid virus for even asking that. :thumbup: Thankfully my boyfriend at the time had walked in and he saved me from smacking the crap out of him. :smile: The other one was just recent, was picking up a few things from a friend that she had borrowed and we were discussing my surgery and then as rude as can be she asked me "so when will I be able to see the weight loss". :cool2: I so wanted to hit her.

mmmm cow ... I want a steak damn it but didn't get around to the grocery store today *cry*

Thats .. thats ... just .... wrong somehow ...

Why is cheese cake called cake when its really a pie?

I guess I am just that kind of person, I was at a BBQ the other day and someone asked "can you eat that" and all I said was "Well sure does look like it doesn't it" and just stared at them as I took another bite. Another person tried the "Are you supposed to be eating that" my only response was "are you supposed to be this stupid or are you being special just for me".... again with the stare. I am a hard ass bitch have been for as long as I can remember and enjoy turning the tables on people and making them eat there words... Parents included (I just doing in a more tactful way with them LOL)

Well today two things hit me and it hit me hard. :huh2: 1. I realized my hair is a bit thin in places, well that is from the first few weeks post op. I know I wasn't getting my Vitamins and Proteins the way I should have. Harder then you think on a total liquid diet. But now, I am back on track so it should start coming back (HOPEFULLY before the hubby comes home I will have some growth back). Not gonna stress it cause it happens, not much you can do but make sure you get all your vitamins and proteins. Which I am. 2. (and this one is the worst) I got on my scale today and 3 lbs are back from the abyss. I know its because I am back on a full foods diet (well mostly, but I still have partial liquid and/or mushies at times) and my body is trying to hold on to it. Guess its time to up my 30 minute elliptical trip to 45. I mean I was expecting some weight gain back, before my fill but it still hurts. Ok, that is my bitch for the day, I will get over it *counts* Ok, not full over it but getting there. Like I said I was expecting both but hoping neither happened. Who knows maybe the 3lbs is a delayed ToM bloat ( wishful thinking I know) cause I didn't really gain on that first day of my ToM and I am on my last days now. *deep breath* Ok, I am done, not fully over it but hey what are ya gonna do ya? :rolleyes2::cursing::thumbup::cursing::smile2::cursing:

Not only have those 3lbs disapeared again, but two extra went with them ... Here let me complain .... .... :lol::biggrin::grouphug:

While I just had my lap band surgery I do have a few questions for down the road when I cross that 'lose skin path' I know I will cross. 1) I had a breast reduction back in 94, I went from a 32 III to a 32 C/D (I am now a 36 D/DD (kids and weight gain). Would I be able to get a lift after the initial reduction 14 years ago? (will be 15 by the time I get to that point) 2) I carry 90% of my weight on my bottom half, I know my insurance (at this time) will cover a full/partial body lift if I need it but my concern is how successful are thigh (inner/outer) lifts. I have been researching things and have read more then once that thigh lifts are harder then upper body lifts at being successful. Why is this? It has me concerned that I would be making a mistake.

I hate sleeping in, makes me feel like part of my day is missing....

:redface::cursing::smile::cursing::smile: She is at it again, went to pick up some things from her that she had borrowed, and she was asking me about the surgery again, how much I had lost etc. Nothing major seemed like normal curiosity stuff. Then a whole bunch of stupid ran out of her mouth. She almost got decked, I really wanted too but sadly her 2yo was right there so I couldn't do it. Her stupidity was "so when am I gonna be able to tell you have actually lost weight" ... And she said it snotty and rude as fuck. All I did was stand up, gave her that you open your mouth one more time and you will regret it look, and said goodbye. I mean FFS how rude can a person be???? That was just beyond appropriate, I told the hubby that after I get the rest of my things back I am done with her, period and if it makes waves at work then I am sorry but I can not deal with her shit anymore. :cursing::cursing::thumbup:

Dessert HAS to be a cheese cake...

Susan; oh my gawd that woman is a few cards short of a full deck. She wants you to force your daughter to do something that she isn't comfortable with?!?!?!?!? WTF ... Just because your daughter wont be going in the water wont spoil everyones fun. FFS why isn't her father sticking up for her?!?!?!?!?!?

Well I am in physical therapy 3 days a week so I get the work out from the torture specialists. On my own, I am limited to just my elliptical on "easy" until my therapist gives me the go ahead to add more to it. He is hoping my joint test and my Cat Scan will come back good so I can up my home work out. (before you ask, I have bad knee's and a bad hip (95% positive its weight bearing) and I have to go to PT to strengthen my muscles)

The first 3 questions are answered in my original post darlin. No fills until 8 weeks post op (July 1st), I work out 30 minutes a day (going to boost it to 45) and I don't really count calories I just try to make the right choices, which I have been. As for eating around it, no I don't.

I'm such a bad person ... *cry* ok I am over it now :thumbup::rolleyes2:

I have never referred to myself as 'fluffy' I told it like it was, I was fat (still am but workin on it :rolleyes2: ) A friend in school though refused to acknowledge I was fat, he would tell me I was just 'healthy'. My only come back was "yeah healthy enough for 3 people". He didn't get it at all, he was a sweety though but I wasn't healthy....

I am shampooing my carpets this weekend .. I hate carpets ... just sayin

mmmm lamb .... lamb is goooood eatin ... rabbit is ok, prefer not to eat it though, Thumper was my favorite movie character for to many years to get over the fact if I eat rabbit I am eating thumper ....

I am leary about taking PMS meds cause I forgot to ask my surgeon what is ok and what isn't. What do you take? I used to take midol and would like to again but I can't get hold of my doctor. (miltary doc so its not like civ docs that are a bit easier to get hold of) I mean I will be seeing him on the 1st for my fill and will ask then, but in the mean time (like right now) what do you take to make your ToM easier on you? Does it upset you stomach? *hugs heating pad*

I don't like VS, but the hubby and I have been shopping Fredericks of Hollywood (window shopping via catalog right now) for sexy ideas. I am having soooo much fun with it. I can't wait until I can just point to something and say "I am buying that" instead of checking to see if it comes in plus size. :tongue:

Taffy and Chicken for some beef brisket, will have to think about that one. How bout a 4lb beef brisket for a 2lb leg of lamb?!?! :tongue:

Oh forgot to add the 2 pots of coffee and 4 liters of Dr. Pepper!!
