How are you all doing? I think I am going to miss my 20 lb goal by a couple of pounds this time but it's still been a great great motivator.

Anyone cooking any Banderlious recipies for Thanksgiving?

Here's a delicious recipe I ate at my bandster support group. I also thought that you could get some SF Pie Filling and blend it smoother, than omit the pumpkin and pie spice, add a touch of vanilla or almond and voila! Instant bander style cream pie.

Pumpkin Pie "Pudding" (or Pie)

1 package sugar-free vanilla pudding (1.5 oz)

2 cups cold milk

1 cup sugar-free Cool Whip

1 can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Splenda (or any sweetener)

Cinnamon

Mix pudding and milk until blended.

Fold in Cool Whip.

Mix in pumpkin.

Add spice and mix together well.

Add cinnamon and Splenda to taste.

Chill in refrigerator at least 20 minutes.

To make it into a pie just use SF Cookies and a little butter or butter substitute to make a crust.

Finally into the 50's...and I think I'll make my Turkey Take Off goal, too. :cheer2:

Somehow this seems like a major breakthrough for me and that I am actually going to make it!

Now, if my hair would STOP falling out!!! :peep:

I am off today to get some Biotin and Folic Acid.

Perhaps a knitted scarf out of my hair?

Welcome and hope you are sucessful in getting your approval. We've all been through the tense waiting.

Go to the top of the page and click on User CP. That will take you to your user page. Click on Signature. You'll first have to go to www.tickerfactory.com and/or www.choosing2lose.com/

Then you create your ticker and at the Edit button on top your comper click 'copy' then go back to your User CP page and click Paste to your signature page. You can add your name etc. also.

Look at other people's pages to get ideas.

Hope this helps.

I didn't think I'd make it but ... I did !!!!! :roll:

Can we talk about our next contest? How about January 15th and call it "I have a dream..." (that's Martin Luther Kinds, Jr's birthday)

Or anyone have other ideas?

Happy Turkey Day to you all, in case I don't get back before then.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
