Well, by now you have had your surgery.  I haven't looked at this site for a while, but I noticed your post.  Also by now you must know that you have one of the best surgeons around.  I had Dr. Lapschies put in my lapband almost 5 years ago.  My surgery went very smoothly, no complications, no regrets.  Well actually my only regret is that I didn't have the surgery sooner.  So I hope everything is going well and that you are feeling good.

Aloha, Paula Aurio

I work from 7am til 3pm....Monday thru Friday. This Saturday is my Saturday to cover. So i work from 645am til 12noon.

I have a 101 Financial Seminar on Thursday night.

I have a MILA workshop at 2pm on Saturday.

Maybe we should find out when Sandra is available cause she's got way more kids than I do, therefore her schedule is usually fuller......lol.

Thank you ladies for the warm welcome and the tips!!! I'm very type A so I'm already making lists upon lists of things I need to have before I leave, things I need while I'm in CA and things I'll need when I get back. It's a disease....but if I don't write it down, I know I'll forget something!!!

Mahalo Nahealani!!


That is so good to hear.  My soft stage starts next week, but,  I havent had the country ribs, but kalua pork & cabbage sounds like a plan.  The no rice thing for now will be hard.

Aloha

Chapstick and my WLS for dummies book was at my side at all time.  If I wasn't sleeping I was reading my book.  I think I read it another 2 more times at the hospital.  Whenever some different feeling came across I was reading.  I am so glad that you and your sister will have each others back during the life changing event!!!

Aloha,
Asia

Paula there is a lot of Hawaiian food that I can eat.  I still go to Luaus and can eat almost everything.  Laulaus, Kalua Pig, Lomilomi Salmon, Squid Luau.  I can eat a little chicken longrice but I really don't eat to much of the stuff because of the noodles but I can eat it without problems.  I love to eat poke and sashimi.  This is an everyday food for me.

As for food that is found at L&L like the terri chicken and chicken katsu I don't eat that stuff to much.  If it is at a potluck I will eat I small cut up piece and that is it if any. 

One thing I love to make is pork and squash.  Omg that must be the best thing ever besides my country style pork ribs with white stem cabbage.  I can eat this everyday 3 times a day.  I had these for my soft food stage along with beef stew no rice.

I can have Aloha Shoyu with no problem.  Shoyu Chicken is still one of my favorite chickens because I can't eat fried chicken to much without getting the foamies.

Aloha,
Asia
