I shoulda gone to culunary school ....



Recommended Posts

So, today I am experimenting with different juice "shakes" and I am sitting here sipping this new one I made up and kept thinking to myself how to make it better. I do that withe EVERYTHING, drinks, food etc. I can't 'eat' something and not think of how to make it better next time. Even if it is perfectly good the first time around!!! My hubby says its my OCD that does it, I say its just the fact I am a anal perfectionist (he says 'whats the damned difference').

So there you have it, even my homemade Protein Shakes aren't safe from my brain. Damn I need another hobby, I shoulda never ever taken that job as assistant chef in the early 90's, it only made my perfectionism worse.

So, was it any good? And, when are you going to share the recipe? I wouldn't mind taking the protein-shake-advice from a shoulda-been-a culinary master!

Hehe I swear I responded to you, I swear I did .. but its gone ....

So what I said was:

When I have it perfected I will share it. Today its ok, not great, just ok. Tomorrow I might add some rosemary or a mint leaf or two. But today its just ok....

I do the same thing with food. I don't make very many drinks, but I do this with food all the time. DH laughs at me because he says he feels like he is being interrogated while eating, about flavor, consistency, etc. I don't even realize I do it that much.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
