Good morning All. I too need to have a good week before I mess around and don't get my surgery LOL. Jes, the french onion Soup came out great - That's what I'm having for lunch and I figure we can have it as part of the Clear Liquids if we strain it.

So last night my stepdaughter made champagne cake for my girlfriend and it was Nasty! guess I'm not a big champagne fan LOL - glad I didn't like it cuz that 1 bite was enough for me LOL

Is this the recipe from Chris or a different one?

Not the one from Chris this time - I didn't have all the stuff in the house. I just did a generic one - onions, butter, broth & werstershire oh, but I did add the packed of liption onion Soup mix. I figured it would be good regardless because I put it in the crock pot so it could cook slow and all the flavors could mesh. its good!

Morning girls! I took Sophie to school today and one of the dad's that I know (his son and Soph had preschool together) said "You're looking really good, you've lost a lot of weight!" and I said "Um yeah, over 70 lbs..." He was really surprised and asked how and I told him about my lapband. He's a REALLY big guy (prob over 400-450) and he said he's lost 60 lbs on South Beach and that he's been considering the lapband but didn't really know anyone that had it or very much about it.

I told him I'd be totally willing to answer any questions he had. He seemed really excited to learn more. I was pretty excited that he noticed and even more so at the possible opportunity to educate and even to maybe give him that little push to have surgery. It was cool.

Soph had a really hard time going into class and I had to walk away with her crying in her teacher's arms, it BROKE MY HEART. She loves school, she just doesn't love saying goodbye to me. :biggrin:

After I left her I went on a 4.5 mile walk and got a Starbucks skinny vanilla latte at the half way mark, then came home and did my arm weight workout. I'm just about to hop in the shower and start some laundry but wanted to tell you all about my morning and say HI!!! :ohmy: Hope you all have a great day!

Soup sounds good Candra, I make it all the time but I put a little red wine in it also fresh herbs from my garden LOL.

You go Chris! I forgot you are telling people about your surgery. But 60 lbs on south beach is good. I tried it a couple times but never got any results. Actually it's a take off of Atkins.< /p>

ok 1 interview down 3 more to go. I think I'm going to call HR now :biggrin:

Thanks for the Bandiversary card and the Curves hat - I proudly showed both to my parents and kids. They kind of didn't get it - my youngest son was amazed that it been a year already.

I grabbed two of my little containers of tuna salad this morning and had one for Breakfast and one for lunch - plus 3 Triscuits from a co-worker. I am going to stop buying Wheat Thins and switch to Triscuits - way less sugar.

Be careful with the triscuits Pam, those are really dry and I bet they could get ya stuck pretty easy! I don't think I could eat 'em. Happy anniversary Wednesday! :biggrin:

      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?

      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.
