What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

The comparisons are fun! I didn't get or really need a binder in July. Definitely want and need one, now! And five more months of the preventative PPI here, though I hear it's much more common for sleevers since reflux is a bigger concern in this world.

Very, very glad that there was no Gatorade week!

Yes - binder for after surgery. I was given one after my RNY but I could never get it on - I struggled and it hurt so bad to get on so I just didn't use it. I wish I had though since the support would have been so nice. I made sure to find one big enough to slip on and tighten.

Amy, so happy for you.
It almost reminds me of my pre surgery excitement, seeing rainbows in the horizon and knowing that help is on its way.
Enjoy all the excitement and order all the proteins (I never liked unjury though).
We are all here rooting for you.

YES - I'm seeing rainbows - totally! I also know the risks and odds... I understand how small my window is and want to take advantage of every single thing I can - this is it, ya' know?

I ordered the Unjury because I can't do the sweet for long. They have a few new savory flavors now like French onion soup. Anyway enough to mix it up until I'm past the liquid part and hopefully never have to drink protein again!

Thank you

We saw a double rainbow on the way to the airport when we were heading to Vegas to get married. I took it as a sign I made the right choice. 17 years later I can concur.

Yay for a date!

Good Morning Queen JB and Meneurs,

I love the Bunnies. So glad you had a chill day yesterday hoping more of the same for you today.

So, my weekend will go fast because I will be busy. DH is installing the flooring in my kitchen today and that is the last part of the renovation. And it all started with just wanting to change the backsplash. I will be able to put my kitchen back together. Glad it is done. Tomorrow morning, I will be volunteering at the Nonprofit I support. Tomorrow is loads of love where we go to laundromats and take all of the laundry detergent and stuff you need to do laundry and feed the machines, so they have a free laundry day. I will even volunteer to fold if they want me, I love folding laundry. Don't ask why I have no idea. I like putting away the dish washer too. Tomorrow evening, we will go out to a fancy restaurant for out 17th Wedding Anniversary. Sunday will be church and maybe brunch out we shall see. Doing Mom duty after work tonight to free up tomorrow morning.

Before and after DH redid my kitchen:

Looks great, did you refinish your cupboards?

Yes they are solid wood from the 1983 so I didn't want to give them up. He primed and painted them. He also painted the countertop with some epoxy. I was surprised how nice it came out.

They look great! My wife would like to do ours, I am not convinced as I do not think ours are solid wood!
