The Melting Pot is NOT Band Friendly!

Oh boy oh boy, I just had my first Melting Pot experience last night. I can't believe the amount of cheese fondue they bring for two people! I'm sure most of you have been there, but what a fun experience! If you haven't been, it's quite an experience but don't order, "The Big Night Out!"

You cook your own food, so if you want to bring leftovers home you have to cook it all up. After the cheese dip and salad, I was too full for the meat n' veggies. So I spent my evening slaving over a hot stove (haha) cooking up all that food to bring home so I can have an awesome lunch today. But I woke up and found and empty container on the counter! Chris took the whole thing then called and laughed at me for not hiding it! Trust me, I'll get even.

Last night I took Mekha out for an early Sweet 16 surprise date, and we had an amazing night. I bought tickets to Mystere' by Cirque du Soleil, and she literally sat on the edge of her chair the entire show. She's a dancer and wants to pursue a career as a dancer. Then we went to the Melting Pot and spent a few hours laughing and eating fondue style. Very cool. Her parents called & said she's gushing with excitement, so I just HAD to share our pic. Here's my best friend, Mekha.

She's beautiful! So happy to hear that the 2 of you had such a good time. And shame on Chris for eating those leftovers on you! I'd get even too! LOL

Why the heck didn't they tell us we could get The Big Night Out for one person? We could have split that and still had leftovers. Boy, to think of the money I threw away. Thanks, Shel. They're opening one near my house in January (we drove to the other side of town last night.) I'd like to take my husband, but he's so spoiled that he'd ask me to cook all his food and ruin the fun.

Mmmm Melting Pot. chocolate Fondue. Great place to go w/ friends b/c your meal takes 3 hours.

BTW - last time we were there when the guy was puring the beer in the cheese fondue DH asked him what kind of beer they use, thinking it had to be a house or micro-brew. Nope, they use PBR. :eek:

This sounds great. I wish places like that were here - okay maybe its better that I can only enjoy stuff like that on vacations. I'll have to put that in my vacation book. Celeste

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
