I hate it when people post just to post.....



Recommended Posts

I'll admit, I'll shorten some phrases into acronyms, like "IOW" (in other words) and "IMO" (in my opinion), but I try not to use the ever-annoying "UR" and "R" or "2."

Ugh! Lauren! You're killing me! haha. No, I use IMHO every now and again. Fair enough.

:crying:

Oh, and NMU is: not much, you?

For the most part the abbreviations don't bother me.. but U and UR drive me nuts. I instantly think I'm chatting with a 10 year old, who doesn't know how to spell. FYI, IMO, BTW.. don't really care so much.

Just my 2 cents, because I wanted to post.

I don't mind things like IRL, IMHO, BRB, TTYL, but I have to agree with Laura, every word of every sentence does not need to be abbreviated. My 13 year old niece does that, and it makes me crazy. I've even asked her that if she's going to send me an e-mail or text message, to PLEASE spell out the words, because first off, I can only figure out about half of what she's saying, and also because I need to be reassured that she CAN spell things out IRL, and that she's not going to be hindered IRL down the road getting through college and then landing jobs, and keeping them. It's scary to think that her generation is learning to do this so much so that it's first nature instead of second nature.

Wow, Rant/off.

But, I love those phone commercials, where the kid is speaking in "text" and the mom is like, What? That's not a word!!!

FRIED TRIPE

2 pkgs. beef tripe

4 to 5 eggs

1 tbsp. water

Bread crumbs

Boil tripe for 30 minutes, then drain Water off. Dip into beaten egg, then roll each piece into bread crumbs and fry in hot grease until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges or Tomato sauce, catsup or chili sauce.

As far as I can tell from this recipe, you are supposed to boil 2 packages of beef tripe for 30 minutes in one tablespoon of water. Must be small "packages" of beef tripe.

I'm sure you'll agree, this sounds good. But then anything fried in hot grease is good.

The abbreviations I Like are DD and DH. We can't keep track of everyone's DD or DH's name, but we know who we are talking about.

My DD make me a grandma last night. It was the most beautiful experience!:biggrin::rolleyes2:

      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.
