Good morning everyone.
Not a whole lot happening here. Currently waiting for UPS to deliver. My boss gobsmacked me and bought an iPad for me for Christmas. Mine is on its last leg. I am so excited about it! So today I'll be transferring a lot of stuff from this iPad to a thumb drive. I have a lot of tutorials and pics I need to back up,
Our oven is out still and we're having a hard time finding an heating element for it. We found one that's 139 but we can't afford it now. Thankfully we still have a roaster for our small turkey and a nice larger toaster oven for the pies. Oh and crock pots. Will be challenging but we'll get it done. Looking forward to the ham this year.
QOTD: lots of sandwiches and we send a lot home with my brother and his family.
food is up in the air. Probably shrimp for dinner with cauliflower fried rice. Eggs for breakfast,

How is the Popeye's Cajun turkey? I've seen it advertised the last few years and I do like Popeye's chicken better then KFC.
Those stuffing waffles sound good as does the turkey with peanut satay sauce. I might have to look at a few different ways to use some of the leftovers.

I should have known you would have a recipe. Please send it to me.

Your right that walk never would have happened pre surgery. I felt bad for the pregnant lady, but she didn't seem to mind. I think where we parked was a win win all around.

I have a brine recipe that has soy and brown sugar that I love on a boneless turkey breast.

Good morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Thank you for starting us off today, Jen! Ok It's Tuesday I am doing this week. Tonight, I will start on Cheesecakes for gifts and Thanksgiving dinner. I was alerted that I will be the sole chef at Thanksgiving this year. Not that anyone actually does too much anyway but DB has to work till 2. Not a big deal. Our holiday table has gotten pretty small compared to when I was young. I do buy the Popeye's precooked Cajun turkey and that is a big help. Quick and easy.
QOTD: I transform everything the stuffing becomes waffles, and we put all the fixins on top and then gravy and eat like an open-faced sandwich. Mashed potatoes become Lazy man perogies. Instead of making dough and putting the filling into every little pocket, I get lasagna noodles and layer butter onions noodle potatoes and cheese and bake like a casserole. On butterball's web site there is a pasta dish that gets the leftover turkey with a peanut satay sauce that I love. My birthday usually falls close to Thanksgiving and this year it is the Sunday after so I am having guest for the Steeler game who can finish up my transformations for me.
Accountability: Too Much Kettle corn. Wow I have so many leftovers from the weekend I do not see me cooking till Thanksgiving.
TSS: 6 years 11-months 8-days 168.4 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
MS: snack select, L&F pumpkin pie Greek yogurt, apple
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
L: Chicken salad and the end of the kale salad
D: Zucchini lasagna and a salad
Exercise: Dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest blessings

Good morning everyone!
Saturday was an example of how WLS changes our lives in ways that we aren't aware of except right after surgery.
We didn't really know exactly where we were going, so we pulled off the highway and went into the free parking lot. We got out of the car, found out that we were about 1.5 miles walk to the stadium, decided no problem, and set up for our tailgate.
Because we didn't think twice about a long walk, we (a) saved 30 minutes of bumper to bumper traffic looking for a lot, (b) saved $40 in fees because we were in the free lot, (c) had bathroom access, and plenty of room to spread out our picnic area, (d) saved probably an hour of excruciating traffic getting out, since we were right at the highway. Plus we enjoyed the walk.
Pre-surgery, I am sure that I would have wanted to park closer, despite the cost and traffic.
I have a full day of program today and tomorrow is a travel day home.
QOTD: We will survive on leftovers for the weekend. Usually the kids are out by Friday, but me and Marilyn will eat most of the leftovers.
Breakfast: Ham and eggs
Lunch: pizza
Dinner: Steak
Have a great day, all!

Mornin' All!
I need to start posting again - it does help, plus I don't want our thread to die out!! I'm glad to see some people still posting. This does seem to happen once in a while when there's a change in "thread starters" - but fortunately, it's usually temporary. Thanks for starting us up the last few days, Lady Godiva!!
not much going on this week, which is good because between a few really busy ones and the recent election, I need the break. I have class today, but that's it. I'm going to try to plow through some of the book I'm supposed to read for my book discussion group meeting next week. I'm caught up with classes except for the one I decided to quit going to - but since I've left it, there's no need to get caught up!
QOTD: we won't have any leftovers this year since there will just be three of us, so I ordered take-out meals. I'll just put a message on our neighborhood Facebook page about turkey carcasses. I like to make (and freeze) turkey stock after Thanksgiving, so I'll be in the market for a carcass or two. I usually get responses - some people otherwise just throw them out. As far as past Thanksgivings, I've usually frozen sweet potato casserole. I've also frozen stuffing, but unlike the sweet potatoes, it's not that great after thawing and re-heating. And we usually finish up eating turkey after three or four days, so we've never had to freeze that.
coffee with half & half
plain skyr with either blueberry or apple compote
vegetarian chili or a Mexican-style salad
protein shake or protein muffin
whatever I don't have for lunch, I'll have for dinner
have a great day, everyone!

Good morning all and Happy Tuesday,
Even though it's already Tuesday, the weekend was really nice. The Anniversary dinner went well. Paula enjoyed herself and a good time was had by all.
Yesterday was my bone biopsy. No fun was had. I don't like hearing the words drill, mallet, and bones in conjunction with one another. It was rough and they couldn't biopsy the area by the hip flexor tendon due to risk involved. I'm content with turning it over and knowing what will be will be.
QOTD- I keep some leftovers and freeze them. I make plates up of the great majority of leftovers and distribute to those in need.
B: coffee and yogurt.
L: Grilled octopus and peanut butter sandwich. Well, maybe just the octopus...
D: Baby back ribs.
Stay frosty, y'all.
