STOP THE MADNESS!!! LOL

           I've been sticking to a low carb regimen for the past few weeks to prepare for my upcoming surgery date, but you guys are KILLING MEEEEEE! HERE!!!      I've been spending more time online to keep myself outta the kitchen and whenever I check in on OH I'm smacked in the face with recipes & experiences of glorious FOOD, FOOD & MORE FOOOOOOOD!!!!!!      AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!  Boy, is this ever the test of willpower! That's what you guys are doing, right? Preparing me? Oh...well if that's the case...thanks! heehee     Mare     

Oh Mare, I'm sorry!  We are not helpful, are we?  :(   OK, tell us what are your favorite low-carb treats?  I knawed on a lot of beef jerky.  And, I found that when I really craved something sweet, Sugar Free Jello with a dab of cool whip did the trick.

I love beef jerky & slim jims, but I'm trying to focus more on the fishy yum yums. LOL

Don't forget. sweetie, low carb doesnt have to mean low calorie.  You can enjoy full cream whipped with splenda and it has zero carbs!  Most of Wendy's lettuce wrap recipes are very low carb.  You can eat all the bacon and eggs you want!  The REALLY good news is that after your surgery, you won't WANT all the junk food! Love you!

Don't really care for sweets & junk food, but "I lubs me sum bread & 'taters & 'sketti & beans." Bah! I'm doing really good though. It's not as difficult as I make it out to be 'cuz my goal is right in front of me. Yay! xoxo Oh! BTW - One of the women in the waiting room with us Tuesday works for VW too. She said she recognized you from somewhere...

now Mare, I would love a big fat rib eye steak . But would have to make it look like pudding. So go get a steak now while it is legal on that low carb diet. Think of me while you eat it.   Be patient my girl. Right now I have to make myself eat. I id not even get a craving before my montly joy. Soooooooo....You can do it.    Go Mare ...Go Mare Your turn is just around the corner. Myrtis

I know, and I can't wait dammit! LOL

I'm right there with you Mare. I started my low carb diet on Jan. 2nd. Everywhere is food, food, food. But it is good training I suppose. I went cold turkey on my Mt. Dew and that's been the hard thing. I've had nothing bu****er since the 2nd. Boy is that hard....but I gotta get used to it. My favorite treat right now - sugar free popsicles. Popsicle brand has tropical flavors: tropical orange, caribbean fruit punch, hawaiian pineapple. YUMMY! We'll make it! Our date will be here before we know it.

Hurray for us! Our turns-a-comin'!!! I never did like soda, thank goodness, and tank up on water all the time. Love the H2O. My weakness is BREAD!!!!! Nice crusty baguettes & boules & croissants & bagels & english muffins &...Uh oh! Got carried away...sorry. I was doing the popsicle thingy too till I read 2 grams of sugar alcohol. That's bad for me on low carb, no? I got a monster box of 'em in freezer. I'll eat them post-op. Keep up the good work, girl. xoxo Mare

Sorry Mare, but you sure don't want to mess this up!  You can do it!  Do you have to be on a diet or are you doint it by yourself?  What'd the Dr. order?  Do share! Nancy Noodle
