Terry that salad sounds delish! Does the cucumber let off alot of Water? I've found that when I make sliced cucumber salad I always end up with soggy cucumbers. What am I doing wrong??

I am so exhausted today. We definetly overdid it last night. I got off of work late then ran home to get ready for dinner. We had a nice leisurely dinner then decided to walk over three blocks to a club and have a drink. We were only gonna stay for a little while but the music was good so we had fun dancing and it was 1am before we even realized it. Didn't go to bed till past two...I barely made it in to work this morning on time...

I'm gonna get home tonight and just crash. I have a busy weekend ahead too.... blah... I wanted to stay in my jammies all weekend. That aint happening...

Luckily his baby acne waited 2 days after these photos.. He is broken out like a teenager, it's crazy. I never had acne, so everyone keeps asking where he gets it.. hah, but apparently it has nothing to do with that, it's a surge of leftover hormones from me that cause it but suppose to go away in a couple weeks to a couple months. It looks painful, his cheeks are hard from all the acne.. pauvre bebe.

I don't know about cucumbers, but it works with eggplant so it should be the same..

Cut up the cucumber, douse them with salt and cover with a paper towel.. let it sit for 30m-1h. The salt soaks up the moisture, then dust the salt off before using in the salad.< /p>

Movie was great, we really enjoyed it. Came home and had no internet so I decided to go ahead and get the carpets cleaned. I started doing that and the skies got all dark. Just north of us is getting hit bad. Hope Tracy is ok.

Laura, I love the pics.

      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.
