StarbuxQueen 0 Posted April 9, 2008 My mom was only able to stay a few days too. She made some extra meals for my family and froze them. She finished all my laundry and left me in good shape. Congratulations on your date! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pix 4 Posted April 9, 2008 hehe I am revamping my blog now ... When I am done I will post the link. I am excited My doc did keep trying to change my mind to RNY or the Sleeve. He is convinced that the band is just a fad cause the doctors in europe are starting to move away from the band. To bad for him, I am getting my band and I am not changing my mind. He finally realized that after I just stared at him when he was extolling the virtues of the sleeve. He also said that I am a bariatrics surgeons dream cause my stomach is so small in proportion to the rest of me. He did crack me up though when he was going over my food journal. He saw that I already had dinner written in and asked me about that. I said well, generally when a person plans out daily meals they will write it down. Then he asked me for my recipe. LOL No way I don't give out recipes, but he could prolly get a similar one off of cooks.com LOL Grilled chicken with a light Alfredo sauce, and wheat penne noodles garnished with perfectly steamed broccoli bits. (all made by me (minus the noodles) as I love to cook! I am playing with my alfredo sauce as to make it lighter and healthier so far so good) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
