Good luck tomorrow with your weigh in. I'm sure you will do well.

Mandi, I was just reading some stuff at the general lab band talk and I was thinking of you. Someone stated that over-fills could lead to slippage, esophageal dilation etc. I don't know what the etc. is but I'm sure it's not good. Maybe, you should take a couple of days off and travel to Mississauga (the price of gas is quite low now) . I'm worried about you.

I knooooow, I know. I'm worried about that all myself as well. I reeeeeally can't do that though. I'm just going to take it as easy on myself as I can, cross my fingers, and hope for the best. Don't you worry about me, I'll be ok! :hug:

So, I ordered THIS sucker, literally 6 months ago. I ordered it the night before surgery... I saw it on a infomercial, and thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Well, I finally used it tonight.

I took 2 eggs, beat them with a little milk, put some sliced havarti and a slice of chicken on top, followed by a glob of salsa. Cooked for 8 minutes, and VOILA! It was ok. I'm definitely gonna try other things in it. The portions are a perfect size for me... in fact I couldn't finish all of what I made. You can make single serving cakes!

Anyways, just thought I'd share!

(and see! I do eat stuff!)

It really is worth a try... you get 2 for $50. Give one away for Christmas!

I haven't tried anything else in it yet, but I was thinking about this 'stuffed soup' recipe they have in the book. I think all it is is a can of Chunky chicken Corn Chowder, and stove top stuffing... I don't know why, but I've been craving stove top stuffing, and I love that Soup, so.... LOL

This looks like the sandwich maker they sold years ago. I have one stored away that I bought years ago. I bet your recipes for This would work in the sandwich maker.

Cloe... I KNOW! It's crazy!

Sooooo... my pal Lauren who has been staying with us for the last month is (finally) about to move into her new apartment... hopefully this week. I was happy...cause, you know... it's a long time to have a 'guest'.

Well... a couple friends of ours from Saskatoon, who live out here also, are approaching the end of their contract, and have secured jobs at another studio in Ottawa. These 2 guys live together... in the same building as Dan and I. They have to be out of their apartment on friday. One guy, is going to spend the next week at another friends apartment, then go back to Saskatchewan for a few weeks, until his new job starts.

The OTHER guy... well... you see, he's gotten himself a girlfriend in Fredericton. He can't bear to spend his last few weeks (months?) before he moves away without her, so he asked Dan if he could stay with us 'for a little bit'. Dan of course said "sure". After overhearing things, I realized he may not be leaving to Ottawa until Nov/Dec. I made Dan ask him how long he was going to stay with us... he said "maybe a month?" But I don't even know about that.. what's he going to do if he's got another month left before work starts, after he stays with us!?

He's not even so much the problem. Him, I could handle for a LITTLE while, but this girlfriend of his... he's either there, or she's here every weekend. I DO NOT like her, at all. I don't want this chick coming and staying in my apartment every (other) weekend! Sooo... when he says "Is it cool if Alissa comes down this weekend?" How do you say NO! or do you? UGGGGG!!!!

Oh Mandi, I hear you. My husband's friend stayed here last summer, just for a few weeks Yeah right! 8 weeks later, my husband asked him to leave. He wasn't bad but the extra person in the house made things tense to say the least. And I don't think he had intentions to move out too soon. I think he was getting a little too comfortable.

Maybe you should tell Dan to tell this guy that he is welcome, that you both would put up with the inconvenience for a short period but if he had to see girlfriend he should see her at her place. After all, it is a small apartment or you are agoraphobic (Can only live with 2 other people) or any other excuse you can think of. If he can't agree to these terms then this living arrangement cannot happen.

Good luck with that.

I completely agree with Wheezy. Mandi...have Dan tell him that it won't work out if the g/f comes to your place on the wknd (even every other wknd)....that the apart. isn't made for 4 people ....so he should go to Fredericton to see her at her place.

Also that way...it gives the 3 of you a break from living together throughout the week if you know you at least have your wknds as private Mandi/Dandi time.

But this has to be discussed NOW before he moves in....ya know...so everyone is on the same page.

Good luck with it all.

Just say no. Explain that the appartment is small and not really made for 3 people let alone 4 given that there is only one bathroom, kitchen, TV, etc. Explain that because you work you really need your downtime and that you agreed to let him stay because you like him and you realised that he was stuck. Tell him that 4 people is simply too much. This way you are neutralizing the personalities issue. You could also explain that you are suffering from guest burn-out a little bit because you have already had a guest but you made an exception for him because you like him. This will flatter him but will make him understand that being someone's guest is a priviledge.

Hey Mandi, I'm with these guys. You have to say no. It is your home, and you don't like her, it's that simple!! Dan should tell him, if Dan was the one to say yes in the first place. (sorry Dan). Just tell this guy that you would like your weekends quiet now that the other girl has left. Besides, it's true, right?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
