Drove Teke this morning then made funeral food.  I have had 3 friends in the last 2 weeks with deaths in the immediate family.  Darn.

decaf protein coffee  33g
eggs, spinach, cheese
lemon tea protein 13g
burger patty in 1/2 low carb wrap, tomato, pickle
Caribbean cooler protein 13g
pimento cheese, rye crisp
baked pasta, meatballs
protein shake ?

I haven't cooked pasta in 7 years since I had surgery but needed to send food to a family and I made too much and couldn't just throw it out.

I had a bumper crop of pimentos in the garden this year but they are kind of a pain.  You have to roast the pimentos to almost brown then let them cool.  then you skin them.  You end up with very little after all that.  Anyway, remove seeds, cut it up and add grated cheese and mayo.  Or you can buy jars of pimentos or roasted peppers and use them.  Pretty easy that way and so much better than store bought.

Hello Erin!  Congrats on pursuing WLS and Welcome to our LW Board!!!!!  It's the BEST Decision I've ever made for myself!!

I think I was at 40/41 but it's been too long to remember.  Your Surgeon must think you will qualify or he/she wouldn't be putting you through the tests.  

Keep us Updated!!!

I don't buy them because they are Gluten Free.  I use that as a way of knowing those are the ones I like because they are all Nuts and Seeds.  I haven't tried any of the others.  I didn't want anything that has a layer of unwanted carbs that is suppose to taste like a brownie or cake. If you try one you like that doesn't have any added layers let me know.

I'm glad things are going better at work!!  We are short handed at work but a new girl is suppose to start on Monday.  The last girl they hired a couple of months ago is pretty much just taking up space.  She does a good job when you hand deliver something to her that needs to be done but she has no problem sitting at her desk all day long doing nothing.

DH has been slipping with his pills since he retired.  Hopefully he takes them more seriously now.

Just try sticking to "good" eating a day at a time.  YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!

hahaha....SOME of the foods is the magic word.  My DH will stop at McDonalds even after he just had a couple of cream puffs or donuts.  He is a sweet and grease aholic!     Since he retired he lives on his golf cart.  He even drives it across the yard to the burn barrel.  His weight has stayed the same which is already overweight. We talked last night but I'm not sure it did any good.  I'm not going to hound him but I am going to try and cook healthier and try to cut down on bringing home fast food and extra things from the grocery store. That will be a plus for me too!

Sounds Good!
