I have been saying for years that I am going to move to TX. I still am giving it some serious thought. I am a wimp so I haven't traveled much. Otherwise, I would have already been at least once. When I finally work up some courage, I am going to be asking where to go. Just be forewarned.

I have been saying for years that I am going to move to TX..

slim - i've been here going on 15yrs. lived in NYC, DC & many months on end in No Cal.

i have grown fond of TX. i'm not sure DH would want to live anywhere else - if i had my druthers; i would live in austin or it's surrounding areas.

The biggest difference I have found in TX is the people have a totally different attitude. Our place there is on the diagonal between Abilene and Austin. And no matter where we go, people are friendlier with very few exceptions! Salespeople, especially there is a huge difference in the attitude there and here in New Mexico!

And they are PROUD to be Texans!!! You find roofs, barns, sheds, tents.....you name it, painted in the design of the Texas flag! And the star is everywhere!

Here in NM, we have a very nicely designed state flag, would be easy to duplicate into things such as they do in TX.....but they don't! There is a huge controversy over whether the state has the right to use the Zia symbol, or whether it is strictly a Native American right. Those kind of arguements totally ruin this state. The division is deep, and while you would think it would get better, it doesn't.

It is actually a breath of fresh air to see people who are proud of who they are.....by simply where they live. Not basing it on all the prejudices we live with here.

Egg salad with no eggs? !?!? No way. I love egg salad.:smile2:

i found a splash or 2 of milk in my scrambled eggs makes them a bit creamier & they aren't like "rubber" going down....

egg salad is NO problem - thankfully because i LOVE egg salad; might boil some eggs tonite..LOL

Right now I love fried eggs (w/non-stick spray) and boiled eggs. I don't have a problem with them just yet. I go for my next fill tomorrow, so that is subject to change.

      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.
