I had a great recipe for dried cranberry cheesecake squares...can't find it; bummer.

Is anyone baking Cookies this year,? I usually eat a bunch while baking, so I think I'll forgo this year...too much if a trigger. I'll just make cashew brittle.

I'm doing my thick sugar cookies decorated with royal icing. Plus the camels and cheesecakes. Will I not touch any? I doubt it. Will I get carried away not at all. I bite and I'm done. I just wish I dumped!!

Happy Wednesday all. Thought I'd share two of my mew favorite things. The granola I add to my yogurt for a little crunch. Low carb and low sugar with 6 gr Protein. The Protein Powder is mocha Cappuccino. I just got it yesterday and it seriously has ZERO protein taste. Kinda like chocolate milk. Yummy. It is super duper cold here and getting colder. Wind chills of -25+ below tonight. I honestly don't know how hockeymumzie does it!

You get used to it. Plus remote start helps with not having to run outside so much!

I am baking cookies this year. They arent a trigger for me but I won't be making my coconut cream cheesecake because that would send me into a tailspin. ;)

Yikes. You have had a tough time. Hope you are feeling better. Recovery is going good. I had some bad leg pain but it is getting better I think. Just seem to have to pain at night but am able to get out of the house now! See the surgeon in early January for the next step which I assume is therapy! ;)

Where are you located, Terry?

Southern RI. Grew up in Newport, then moved to Tiverton when I got married. Not exactly the 'Frozen North'. Being so close to the ocean we usually get rain or a mix when just a few miles to our north they might be getting all snow. But w/less insulation this season I'm really feeling the cold. :-)

      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.
