Am I the only American who likes vegemite? And marmite. One of my mother's best friends was Australian. She used to make "fairy bread" for my birthday. Eekghad.

Well, um, I just have to ask. When did you last partake of fresh cow dung, lol.

i grew up around farm animals, the stuff can splatter all over the place in the worst directions.

Vegemite is yummy...

I think the cake thing with fruit you are talking about is pavalova.

As for coke that is grose no matter where it comes from.

I love to make pizzas using large Portabella mushrooms. Just put some olive oil on the pan and then make your pizza using the mushroom cap turned upside down as the "pizza crust". Then just pile on your ingredients: sauce, cheese, veggies, turkey pepperoni, etc. It really is very, very good!

Gawd, does EVERYTHING come in a can there? pizza dough? Lol.

We're not quite that advanced here, sorry guys. And biscuits are Cookies, we dont have the other kind of biscuits either.

Kel, pizza dough is so easy, just make proper pizza dough. I only do it in the breadmaker, so the recipe wouldnt be right, but google one, its pretty much like a scone dough with yeast, which is not at all scary and very easy. Or buy a few frozen pizza bases (but I dont like them, they're too thick for me) and use a cookie cutter to cut smaller bases from them.

But you have those way cool Cookies that you bite the corners off of and suck coffee/tea into. I think they are called tim tams. My boss is from Perth and she gave me some for Christmas last year.

For the mini pizzas I would go to costco and get a huge box of BagelBites. Kid love them. But I'm not much of a cook either.

Yes! Pavlova!

And coke in the US was my biggest addiction. MMMMM.

If we had it in the house, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself.

7 months sober rofl.

Apparently, but some of us are actually gastronomic snobs who make everything from scratch. Don't believe everything you hear about Americans :)

It's SO easy to make pizza dough, tons cheaper, and it won't have any of the preservatives and added trans fats and junk that come in the can. Go to epicurious.com, search for pizza dough, and you will find a gazillion good recipes to make your own.

Those are Tim Tams. And what you are describing is called a Tim Tam Orgasm, lol. LOL.

For the benefit of the uninitiated, a Tim Tam is just a rectangular chocolate biscuit with a softish centre (does anyone actually KNOW what it is) and you bite of diagonally opposite corners. Insert one corner into your coffee, suck and then cram the entire biscuit into your mouth as it dissolves.

Mmmmm.

And oh yes, a pavlova. I was racking my brain trying to think of a "cake" with cocktail fruit. Pav is meringue and cream with fruit.

I dont like tim tams at all, never have.

Now the mint slice, that is another story.

I am not fond of pavlova either, I dont go much on meringue.

I ended up making the pizzas on short cut pastry, I didnt end up with time to muck around.

They turned out ok, but I am going to give them a go next weekend with the dough made from scratch.

Totally off topic tho, I have really been craving a works hamburger. I cant believe after 18 mths I start craving for one....

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
