chellede 352 Posted November 5, 2014 It's so funny. I can't tell you how many times I've read about people wondering if they were sleeved. I was one of them too. Here's another funny (in case you didn't see it on FB) I'm walking through the grocery store and at least 7 times I'm nervous I'm going to lose my shorts and underwear because they are too big. I kept trying to pull up everything ! Guess it's better than everyone seeing everything Funny ! Things I'm enjoying now... - String cheese. Sometimes cheese wrapped in a thin slice of procuito (sp) - Grilled fish with a slice or two of avocado - Crab. Went out and had crab legs with my husband and best friend. My husband and I had 3 clusters of crab legs. I ate all the small legs and 2 small claws. - love hummus with a string cheese. That's a great go to snack - and I love my scrambled egg with a touch of cheese and ketchup. Why I felt like sharing all that... well that's beyond me LOL. I"m tried. Have a great day everyone !!!

Peekboo 472 Posted November 5, 2014 Susan I use the Carabas recipe for lentils and sausage Soup then bled it. Dont e the hot Italian sausage at this point. It taste awesome. I didn't have to blend it but it's great that wat too. Use chicken broth instead of the meat for the rich flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy812 794 Posted November 5, 2014 @@chellede, thanks for sharing what you're enjoying these days. you gave me a few ideas for the soft food stage, it would be nice if others shared too. I saw on the world according to eggface blog that she took a slice of deli turkey, rolled cheese & chilies in the middle & pan fried it. Sometimes changing it out w/lean ham . Great lunch idea when I go back to work next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
