Thank you for your kind words...

I do make lentil soup' date=' but it's kind of a pain as the lentils have to be soaked, rinsed, picked. 1 lb lentils-Then you saute two chopped carrots, two celery stalks, 1chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic in a little olive oil. When onions are translucent, add 2 quarts chicken broth, 1 cup seeded, chopped tomatoes, and lentils. Add 1/2 t. Cumin and 1/2 t. Coriander. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes or until lentils are tender. Then puree Soup with a hand blender until it's as thick as you want. Add salt and pepper to taste.

1 cup has 186 calories, 4 g fat, 12 g Protein, 10 g fiber[/quote']

This sounds amazing!! So trying this!

The doctors think I have an ulcer. I have pain when eating or drinking and nausea.

In the mean time my sons girlfriend delivered a healthy 3# 2oz baby boy at 29 weeks. He is a rock star. He is on supportive oxygen only. Hes so cute. He is over an hour away.

My stepson ( who is 20)is a douche bag calling me a cu@t. Husband is out of town.

And while she delivered the baby I took my stepdaughter to the airport.

Will go tomorrow to the hospital.

Ugh.

I don't know why I am so darn stubborn. I know chicken doesn't settle well with me and I don't even like it anymore but trying to play by the rules I went and grabbed some grilled chicken off a wrap at McDonald's. I was totally unprepared for my case to case visits today I was sent on by my hospice company as usually I have Protein Bars etc. I spent 20min in severe nearly screaming pain feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. I apparently didn't chew the chicken correctly and ate too much possibly too. I have now vomited in the worse parts of town with homeless people looking on. That is totally awful and humiliating at the same time. I finally feel relief but loads of pressure still. Idk if I will ever ever ever try chicken again.

I have the same problem with chicken, but just breast meat. If I do thigh meat it's fine. Funny, I tried the new grilled chicken wrap at McDonald's and had the same effect! Probably never again, and it was a quickie meal. I should've stuck to what I know works, Wendy's chili! It has never failed me in a pinch.

Breast meat is the worst. Thighs and legs are my go to for chicken. The dark meat is just more tender!!! Wendy's chili is the best on the go stop food! Loaded with protein!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
