Let's see.. baby and I managed to eat:
1 yogurt (Dannon Light & Fit)
1 Fuzzy Navel Nector protein drink with my liquid calcium added
1 Meximelt from Taco Bell (look up the stats, not as bad as you would think)
1 carmel apple empanda (okay, so it gave us gas.. but EVERYTHING gives us gas atm.. at least it's burps!
)
1/2 c of tropical granola
1 packet Austin Peanut Butter Crackers (helps settle my tummy and has some protein value)
and then for dinner.. lmao..
1 10 oz medium rare steak.. and I would have stabbed anyone that tried to take even a bite of it from me
1/2 c au gratin potatoes
2 big tablespoons of sliced green beans
And since tomorrow is weigh-in, I'm maintaing, if not dropping. I was down to 151 on Monday, sitting at 154 after food AND water today.

Oh yeah, and like the two blue lines weren't enough. I had to do an EPT, in plain English. That puppy was showing "Pregnant" in the window, in less than a minute.
ROFL
I go do my labs tomorrow. Added my folic acid and Iron today (I've not had to take any extra iron since surgery****il I go see the doc with Ray on the 28th. At which time, I know they will draw MORE blood, and tell me if I need to add MORE iron, stay the same, or ditch it.
It's off to the used book store this weekend to pick up books for the hubby to read. I have 72 cousins, I think I'm more than ready for my own. But this is really going to be one of the first infants he's been around.
Told him if nothing goes wrong, after 1st trimester, we're off to CPR class for infants and toddlers.

Howdy!
Getting ready to hit the hay but missed you and the gang so I thought I'd swing over here for a quick read.
Same old same old here....early a.m. job, home to work in the house, admire the kittehs. Did some grocery shopping today and restocked my bare sugar-free candy stash. Also got some of the new (to me, anyway) Kashi pumpkin spice granola-type bars. Good numbers on them and they are just like a traditional hard granola bar. They will be great in yogurt!
Restocked some of my basic pantry stuff that was empty too and ended up spending about 25% more than I usually do on that type of grocery run. Oy the prices!!! But in the end I did some meal planning stuff that will end up saving money.
Other than that, I am getting ready for a craft sale at work for our Christmas party fundraising committee. Haven't done anything crafty in so long, it has been kinda nice. I'll be glad when it is done and out of here so I can start wrapping Christmas gifts. Working retail gets a person in the mood early.
Well, i've been being visited by AF so I doubt I'll have good numbers tomorrow. I typically eat like a maniac during that and always gain then lose it. Don't know if I even want to weight tomorrow.
Nighty night and hugs!!!

Hi, Elaine... How long do you think that it will take until you get an answer from the Ins Co... after they review your skin pics that your Surgeon submitted? Thinking that a 15-20 Lb removal will make a lot of improvement on your bod and confidence with a "new guy".... remove the LIE!
I really hope that things go in your favor!

Ended up making a chicken pot pie w/ Campbell's LF Cream of Chicken. some 2% milk, and mixed veggies. Then added Reduced Fat Bisquick biscuits and a little rice on the side... Yum! Haven't had time to log it into my journal, but the numbers should round-out my day nicely.
I prepped some ground turkey with "sausage" herbs / spices, which is resting overnight. I'm thinking that if I use Reynold's Release as a sausage casing for 2 oz "links" to be baked in the oven, I'll save myself a lot of aggravation (less mess, sticking, and falling apart). Once they are cooked, I can always brown them up a bit. Hope the blend that I used will taste OK. Planning to make either a light pasta sauce dish with the links!
The blend is a real mix-up, but only small quantities of each, which were pulsed in my coffee grinder! I've never done this before, but the price was right and I'm up for a little adventure here!

OK.... Here's a toughie... Our #2 son is negotiating buying a house, but the radon level came back at 14! We sent them the EPA info, including the info video. We think that they are sooo in love with the house that they may go ahead with the purchase. We suggested that they make a second lower reading contingent on the sale and NOT just try to negotiate a lower price!
I am such a wienie about this... Does any on know more about radon?
Rachel...???? Anyone else??? Time is nearing for the sale! Any news would help!

Members of the OFF MB were discussing Pressure Cookers and various websites for recipes.
Does anyone here use a Pressure Cooker?
I've recently started to use my Dutch Oven (info posted under my "Give me 5 Good Snacks"), but I have no experience with Pressure Cookers... is the taste that different??? Clean up? Recipes?
I love Fall foods!

Mel! When do you start???? Have you received any guidelines on what requirement must be met to get the Center of Excellence approval? I missed my last support meeting... bummer! We have new staff; both of our leader left at the same time!!! Neither of them were WLS patients. I'm not sure if the new leaders will be either, but the Co-ordinator has had surgery... Band and now revision (I think)... So much info was discussed at the last meeting that I attended!
Any Jitters????? I always get them!
Congrats again!

Hi, Betty.... My food menu has been much better than yesterday's, when I shared an Italian Trio w/ DH... soup, bread stick, and salad also. So today I've had a Plan Jane... Yogurt, cereal, soup, and popcorn kind of a day! Don't know what's for dinner yet!
Grand baby??? Boy or Girl??? Hey, you might want to help out with creative names that Heather, Natalie, and I have been tossing around on the Dang I Can't Keep a Secret thread!
It's beautiful here too... and I didn't get "out" wwwwaaa!
I swore that I'd never wear a 2 X (actually wore much larger...) again. What did I notice today???
My jeans are a brand call X2!!!! Go Figure... Had me laughing!
