Chicken done right!
This is a combination of a recipe I found and my own changes that I found work the best for WLS patients. Tried and tested and everyone wanted seconds...Since it's mainly a sauce, the sauce does no penetrate the chicken so it remains low in carbs to the tune of 9.5 per serving. It's EXTREMELY...

Q. What is a total body lift?

Typically, it describes a single stage surgery which incorporates a circumferential body lift, leg lift, breast lift, breast augmentation, torsoplasty, and arm lift. Usually, this surgery is performed in a hospital with multiple surgeons operating on different body parts. This surgery is long and may... Read More

Celebrating Successfully Achieved Goals
Six years ago almost to this day, I was sitting on the bed of the Salvation Army in downtown Indianapolis going through meth withdrawal. I had lost my apartment, car, children, friends, and self respect. I haven't touched meth since that experience. In the past six years I have stayed 100% clean, got my children back from my mother (and received their forgiveness), attained my associates degree, married a beautiful man who loves the Lord, and landed a job at a hospital with great benefits. I reached all those goals with weight loss surgery being the next. I had my DS surgery five weeks ago and have lost 40lbs. I am already feeling so much better!
My next goal is to acquire my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's degree in addictions counseling. Eventually, I want to open a non-profit counseling center for drug addicts. Many addicts can't afford counseling. I want to use what I went through to help others! That in a short summary are my goals reached and goals to be reached. Now if I could just reach my goal of not walking into walls, I would be set! Lol. Thanks for listening:0) -Melanie Spaur

Last Friday night, Jack and I went to dinner with some Friends. We decided on Thai food. It was interesting because it was a night of several firsts. First time having them over to our house. First time going to dinner with them. First time eating in front of them and first time discussing my WLS with them. Although they ordered normally, and heartily, I ordered chicken satay (appetizer) and a Thai chicken salad. I ended up taking most of the salad home with me to go.
Most the meal, I spent talking and enjoying their company. We talked about foods I could and couldn't eat. How they felt life wouldn't be the same with-out noodles or breads and I said that I've eaten enough noodles and rice to feed a small village. That I know exactly how those foods taste and I don't feel like I am giving up anything. That I focus on the foods I can eat and I make the most of those foods. I really did enjoy the chicken satay. I was really delicious and filling. Was it my favorite Thai dish? No. But it was very good!
So... then comes Sunday night and I had to run to Target to buy some binders and look for anti-motion sickness medicine for our cruise and I buy a box of Junior Mints. Not a small box. The big box. I ate the whole box... Read More
