*slim*

PJTP-have you ever slimed so much that you actually wanted to PB? As a banded person, not chewing is not an option. As a banded person with braces, how the hell am I supposed to eat!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?

:juggle::lol::lol:

Football...yuck! I have to hear about "our boys" all year long. DH acts as though he has stock options in the Titans. You would swear that he wore one of those wireless head sets that goes directly to the coaches ear. Of course, the volume must be way down on it because he yells like he is trying to get someone in Egypt to hear him. Can you tell I am NOT looking forward to football season?

Evening everyone! Way too much has been said for me to recap. I have been on to try to catch up a couple of times today and end up behind by the time I get to what I think is the last post.

vacation....That sounds wonderful right now.

For my doctor, it was about the calories and breaking the carb addiction while on the healing liquid phase of the diet. You don't want the crashes that you would get from having too much sugar. That way, by the time you are allowed to eat without fear of breaking the sutures that are holding the band in place, you are no longer craving the carbs from sugar. Talk to your doctor about your migraines. Your doctor may allow you to have the regular sugar items on occasion. Good luck to you!

I normally have had my first cup before I log in, but today I woke up before it started brewing. I am now drinking that very delicious first cup. I wish I could go back to bed and that I had a good book on hand. I only have a couple of self help books that I keep trying to read. Unfortunately, the doctors that wrote them must have been writing for other doctors. They are the most boring drivel I have ever read!

There may be a smily, but I like your originality much better(big words for before my coffee:wink2:).

Morning. I see that I am not the only one awake so early this morning. (waving hello to tapshoes)

That's great!

:lol::lol:OMG! I wanted to ask that!

Then we have to hit a BIG bank. I have a lot of work that needs to be done!:thumbup:

earlobes, kneecaps, fingers...you name it, I need it. Make sure you let me know when this bank robbing is going on so I can get my cut.:thumbup:

That is so sad. I would think you never fully recover from something like that. You learn to cope, but not really recover. My grandmother out lived her oldest daughter. My grandmother was never really the same after my aunt died.

Did you have to introduce me to someplace else to spend my money????:biggrin: Today- B-coffee w/sf chocolate torani syrup, farina w/PB2 (good stuff) L-1 c pureed chili w/1 slice pepper cheese d-hot & sour soup (I could chew the tofu!)

Thanks for the idea. I am hoping my mouth will stop hurting enough to chew soon. I am going to need these ideas again when these stupid braces have to get tightened. Thanks again. I wish I knew. lol that is awesome! Thanks punkster. I know that you will be glad to be able to have real food. Hopefully the time will fly by. I got my containers too. That has the most awesome peanut taste!

You are too funny!! Ok, I know Tyler and G Garvin, who is Tom Colicchio?

Ok, I am ashamed of this, but I am posting it anyway Today- B-coffee w/torani chocolate syrup, farina w/splenda L- .5 pint chocolate gelato:eek: S- the other .5 pint chocolate gelato:eek::crying::eek: D-pureed chili (made with black beans, fire roasted tomato, green chili, cumin, mild salsa) topped with lf sour cream I ate more calories and fat at lunch/snack than I should have had all freaking day! I cannot/will not do that tomorrow. I know that I let stress rule what I ate today, but I cannot let that continue.

I've been watching food porn all weekend! It is killing me.

I am too ashamed to tell you what I had for lunch. Let's just say that I won't do that again any time soon.:thumbup: You work out enough to make up for it though.

:crying::lol:Who won?

I am going to try a combo of the two. That sounds so good. :crying: Me too!

luluc-can the lentil soup be pureed similar to split pea soup without being disgusting?
