me2012, Thanks for the reminder about the upper gastric. And Congratulations again on your outstanding recovery! Dragonfly, You'll get through. Just keep thinking that and you'll get through. Sometimes, things just turn out funny. I had an upper GI test once. They tell you what they're...

Apologies, Karenina. I should have provided at least a little information. The book doesn't match the tv series at all. I am impressed at the tv developers who were able to come up with the series. They had no help from the book. The only connection I can see to the book is the manse on Park...

Hey, Karenina, I, too, like Baldacci. I will look up this one at my local used book store. I'm due for a trip.

I've become interested in a new tv series 666 Park Avenue. When I learned it is based on a book, out I went to buy it. Book is by Gabriella Pierce. It is one of the few books I've ever seriously considered not finishing. And I did finish it only because of the tv series. After completing the...

Polo! I'm so glad to see you. And Congratulations on your surgery and ongoing recovery. About hydration . . . ounce for ounce, you will get better hydration from an electrolytic solution than from plain water. Please check with your medical team first, of course. There are lots of...

Hi, Jodie, I am concerned for you. How much water and chicken broth are you getting in daily? And how much protein? You don't mention any. This will get better as you heal. You need fluids and protein to heal. Best,

Hey, BamaBaby, See what you can come up with for samples. You don't want to buy a bunch of stuff now, only to find you don't like it after surgery! Synrtrax offers samples of their Nectar line. VitaLady offers a bunch of different samples. What you will like is very personal. Go to someplace...

What is the purpose of eating? To feel full? No The purpose of eating is to fuel your body to give you the energy you need to complete the tasks you want to do. The purpose of eating is to provide sufficient nutrients to your body to effectively carry out all the metabolic processes it does...

I have one to add from my son, Michael, mgb August 2012. I wish I'd known . . . The more weight I lose, the longer my penis gets. If I'd known, I'd have done this years sooner!

Happy Birthday, Miss Carol!

Please add the Mini Gastric Bypass. There are Members here who have had it.

YOU GO, BAY BEE!!! Check in and say hi when you can. My thoughts are with you.

Thanks, Karen. And you are so right about the coffee! Coffee is another outstanding flavor enhancer. Like whiskey, salt, lemon and other things used for flavor enhancement, you need not even add enough to consciously taste. There's just something about the bonding of it with the other...

Hey, Carol, Thanks for the feedback but I don't understand. What is it about this recipe that makes it unfriendly to a "Heart Healthy" diet? I am familiar with the Mayo Clinic Heart Healthy diet, as well as some others. And what sugar is it you're concerned about? As a diabetic, I am always on...
