I've had it a couple of decades. Most miserable pain EVER. I'll probably end up having surgery.

Yep- that's pretty much exactly how I feel! lol

I wonder if he would give me something to calm my nerves for the next two weeks. :eek:

Ok so I have been wanting this surgery, working my butt off (literally I have dropped 43 pounds on my own), waiting for a response from the insurance company, worrying and upset about it taking so...

I can't wait to be able to enjoy clothes shopping. To wear a bathing suit at the public pool. But most of all, to not be insulin resistant!

$25,000?? *faint*

Yuck! I hope that's one problem I don't get! I'm sorry you're going through that. :(

That sucks! :( (hugs)

That's what I'm talking about! Woot! lol

Akkkk!! All this carb talk! *drool*

You can replace white rice with brown. Wheat pasta over white. Spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti noodles. Quinoa instead of rice. You still need carbs, just...

Put your cauliflower rice in an inch or two of boiling water for about 5 minutes or so, I imagine. Doesn't take long. I'm going to try it with chicken stock and seasonings.

Holy cow!!!! I'll bet that feels GREAT!!! :)

Wow!! Yayyy!!!! That's an amazing loss!

I cook my squash and asparagus that way. Yum!

I asked my doc about green smoothies during the full liquid phase, he said no problem as long as the veggies and fruit are shredded up fine and it's drinkable, and to add in protien powder.

Nice to 'meet' you too! lol

Oh. Thanks :)

What's a slider food? Ice cream, pudding, things like that? I'm NEVER going to gain it back. Screw that! No way am I going through all of this just to revert back. No thank you!

Made this tonight. Kids ate it up! :) I like it too I'm definitely adding this to the menu. It totally worked and kicked my pasta craving! :)

We make turkey burgers. All we do is take jenny o's ground turkey pack, about a half bell pepper, half onion, egg, and Emeril's BAM hamburger season. Chop up the bell pepper and onion really small,...

AWESOME!!!! Next on my to do list- make spaghetti squash and cauliflower pizza! :D

I read the peak season for spaghetti squash was in the fall?

Spaghetti is my all time fav food EVER, so this is awesome and I'm going to totally give it a try thanks! :)

Yep, some days I am positive and gungho- other days are harder! lol My husband alternates on being supportive and sabotaging. It isn't me who brings the pizza, chips, and soda in the house. Most days...

My family and friends are the same way, completely unsupportive most of the time and trying to convince me that 1 beer won't hurt, oh come on make it 2, might as well have it now! Hey come out to...
