    New to the site...just thought I'd say " HI "

    Ask if you can use Chia seeds in your jello or pudding. I use it in my oatmeal and yogurt. They are tiny seeds that expand, kinda like tapioca. It might help you feel fuller longer.

    Hang in there Linda. The squeaky wheel gets the grease is what we use to say in the Navy. Make lots of noise, continuously! If you need pointers I'm sure Pat99 could point you in the right directions. She's fought long and hard for this journey. I finally gave up with the VA. They would put me...

    Got my date!

    Wow. I have waited so long and worked so hard to get to this point that you would think I'd be doing cart-wheels and jumping for joy, if indeed I could do those things, which I can't, hence, the surgery. Instead I find myself in a whirlwind of emotions. How weird. Anywho..... my surgery is...

    Greek spinich pie (no crust)

    This sounds amazing Pat. Can't wait to try it, and I love Peggygoforth's idea with the cup cake pan. I've quit eating flour of any kind and am always looking for something new to try, especially something I can take to work. Thanks for the recipe.

    Too much pre-op weightloss?

    Thanks Sandi. I actually called their insurance department today. I asked if all the doctors sent in the required paperwork. She said she wasn't sure because she didn't have my file with her because they took it for my appointment tomorrow, but, that she had sent it to my insurance company. I...

    Hey 1step!! Thanks for sweetest day greeting. You put a smile on my face. I've been trying to catch up on all the new posts as I have been out of town for a few days to attend my husbands grandfather's funeral. He was 97 so it wasn't a shock. It was nice to see everyone, just wish people could...
