OK ladies, here is the fake Mac and Cheese recipe.  It is not low fat, however, with the DS fat is actually my friend so I don't care (in my RNY days I did care however....)

16 oz bag frozen cauliflower
4 oz cream cheese
2 TBS heavy cream or low carb milk
4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
2 green onions finely chopped (didn't add)
1 tsp minced chives, optional (didn't add)
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste (didn't add - cheese has enuf salt)
1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste
2 oz cheddar cheese, shredded

Cook the cauliflower until tender, drain well (at this point I also cut it into tiny macaroni sized pieces).  In a 1 1/2 qt casserole, soften the cream cheese in the microwave about 30-40 seconds on HIGH.  Whisk in the cream until smooth, then stir in the 4 oz cheddar cheese.  Microwave on MEDIUM about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.  Stir well until creamy and smooth, microwaving a little longer if neceassary.  Stir in the green onions, chives, salt and pepper.  Add the cauliflower and gently fold into the cheese sauce to coat well.  Adjust the seasonings if needed.  Top with the remaining 2 oz cheese and bake at 350 for 35 mins until bubbly and brown on top.

Makes 4-6 servings.  can be frozen

Thank you for asking how I'm feeling. I feel like crud right now. Probably won't be going to work in the morning. Slowly sipping water, trying like heck to keep it down, doc threatened me with an IV if I don't stay hydrated.

Going to bed now. Gotta get some sleep.

After many tries, they both are. I think the design differences makes them look like they don't agree.

I'd love that recipe as well!  Yum!  Hope you are feeling better this evening!  Hubby is concerned about his staples so they told him to come in tomorrow.  Hope all is well!

Hi!

Aryianna - if there is a hernia, you may have a lump under or near the spot that hurts. It may also be an adhesion. Doctor will know best. I had sharp pains near all my sites for about two weeks, turned outto be nothing. Most RNY patients seems to have them and they go away as if someone turned off a switch.

My day went pretty well, that is til I got to the surgeon for my three month follow up. I threw up all over his office. He asked me how I felt and I told him 'wierd'. Next thing I know I'm blessing his floor. EMBARASSING! He was great about it tho. Got a real good once over. At least it doesn't have anytihng to do with my tumble the other day, it's probably viral. He said I've got swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I don't have to see him for another three months unless I can't keep fluids down for the next day or so. That's how long he thinks this may last. I didn't dare try a solid supper. Protein drinks and water for at least 24 hours. Good timing for this appointment.

Gotta run, have a great evening all!

Love ya,
Deb

PS: ticker update to follow, not much but an update none the less.

I think I have lost track of when weeks begin and end. 

I am in a very good place today as I made low carb mac and cheese (with cauliflower instead of macaroni) and not only did it come out super yummy, it's staying down great too!!!!

I think I may have a hernia on my lower left... anyone know what kind of symptoms they cause??  I do have my first follow up with my surgeon on Thursday - guess I'll find out for sure then.

Have a great week all!!!  Will be working again tonight  - may post again even,..lessee how I am feeling.
