You are missing out on deliciousness but not the healthy kind... Chicken fingers from a Chinese Restaurant have a different kind of batter. Super yummy but extra greasy and carb-y.

Wow I'm really late to the party today. Went out for brunch and had the worst meal I've had in years. Oh my god. I didn't raise a stink, but just made a comment that the chicken in my egg white omelette tasted like it had been around for a few days. The omelette was tasteless and made with broccoli stumps vs. florets as well. It was just horrible. My wife said have them make me another plate. I told her that I've already eaten more than enough to make the added wait not worth it. So for the first time since surgery, rather than having 3 meals leftover - I left an entire plate of food behind. The waiter told me that the manager will take it off the bill and he did. But blah!
I never was a blanket person, but now I'm always cold after the surgery. So I'm using my wife's stash of mini blankets frequently. They all have dogie themes.
Go Atlanta beat those Packers!!! Making for a much better afternoon after that meal.
B - Crummy egg white Omelette; 1/2 piece of toast with smear of marmalade
L - Banana cream premier protein shake
D - Spiralized zucchini with cottage cheese and marinaria with 3 ounces of beef tenderloin
S - cup of egg drop soup - left over from my Chinese restaurant dinner last night
This weekend was a busy one. I went to the Styx concert at a casino last night with a friend and we stayed overnight. It was such an awesome show and so much fun. Heading to see Matilda with my friend from work who has been filling in for me during my vacations. I feel I owe her since I have been on quite a few vacations since October.
I've been doing well with maintenance and am very excited to be having a lower body lift on Wednesday (so off work again-hence me treating her to the show). I am a bit apprehensive about the pain and recovery, but not nervous about the surgery. I know this will help to really complete the process for me.
QOTD: Always lap blankets. We have a huge collection. In fact, my kids grew up having their own blankets and thought it was weird if they were at a friends house and they didn't have them. I agree, that it is also the weight of it. I like the pulling them out of the dryer idea. I will have to remember that.

Best of luck with the LBL! I'm 11 days post-op from TT and facelift. I found the facelift to be tougher.

Yes, I went for my consult in November to see how much weight I should lose first and what he recommended and he told me it was all skin, and there wasn't even anything he could lipo. I really liked the doctor and felt pretty good about everything, so I booked my surgery date that day. It came quickly. Good luck on your consult. I think this will really help complete things for me. Except that I still want to do a breast lift, etc along with an arm lift. I may do that in the fall. My husband will take me for the surgery and my daughter is taking 2 days off and will stay with me through Sunday, so I have some good support. I also borrowed an electric lift out recliner from a friend. I'll keep y'all posted.

I saw Styx back in the late 70s at the height of their popularity. I remember thinking the tickets were outrageously expensive - although they were probably something like $20 - a drop in the bucket compared to today's prices!! I loved that show, too. And now that they're on the casino circuit, it might actually be a reasonably priced show! (one of the advantages of getting old!!!)
