I also respect your opinion but perhaps you might consider a different type of forum to post your work. There are probably thousands of them out there that would better appreciate "off color" and sexually explicit material such as yours. No one in this forum should have to avoid a particular...

enicholson-I'm glad you mentioned that there may be an unpleasant odor and to just rinse it off otherwise I would have probably dumped the pasta down the disposer then post my dislike *LOL* I am one of those people who is cursed with a "super sniffer" and notice odors that others' can't even...

Dcepello-It's thoughtful of you to apoligize but I'm just sayin'... Providing a definition of a lymerick does not change things either. You have a CHOICE of what you post here and so far there are 2 people who have expressed that your material is not appropriate for this forum. I can assure you...

I thought these products should be posted in the recipe forum because you can easily work them into your favorite pasta recipe for a very low carb pasta meal. This link takes you directly to the nutritional information for the fettuccine noodles but you can navigate the site to find nutritional...

I'm no prude but I think some of your limericks are not suitable for this forum.

The new winter coat I bought in November is already too big. I can't wear most of my nightgowns because they fall off at the shoulders. I have only 2 pair of slacks that fit me well and can get away with wearing 2 more pair that aren't so baggy that they fall off. I managed to dig up 6 sweaters...

reikinurse-Try using less of the powdered drink mix, this will make it less sweet. I use 1/2 to 3/4 of a single serving pack in 16 ounces of water. As far as your craving for gingerale, you can try a small amount with all of the carbonation "stirred out" of it. Fill half of a tall glass 1/2 full...

I did not read Rex Reed's comments regarding Melissa McCarthy but am wondering if he said anything about Billy Gardell's obesity. Probably not because in this country obese men are usually accepted as being OK like they are.

Jayhawkgirl-I'm slightly past 11 months post surgery and still need to take stool softeners every day. I also occasionally use Milk of Magnesia (generic brand). A high protein diet causes constipation and there isn't too much you can do about it except to add some fiberous foods but because of...

Gail-Things will get better. You're probably feeling very fatigued as well and that certainly doesn't help anyones mood. Once you get beyond pureed foods your food choices will improve and eventually you will be eating things you like but in moderation. Make sure to get enough protein and fluids...

Joy-I just got the surgery date this afternoon. It's for 4/2/13. there was one other opening in mid March but the surgeon is leaving the next day for vacation. The surgical coordinator thought it would be a better idea to take the 4/2 date in case there are complications that would require the...

Renie-Don't take any chances. Go see your PCP and get some antibiotics right away. Feet and toes can get infected very quickly and cause very serious complications. I don't mean to scare you but you really need to see a medical professional immediately.

Johna-The pureed stage is rough. I don't think any of us like the consistency of the food *LOL* I did the same thing that Jayhawk did but I checked with the nutritionist first. Another thing you might try are pureed baby foods. Others on this forum ate baby food and said it wasn't too bad, it's...

Dana-I have been in the same situation but for several months. I am 11 months out from surgery. I had a follow up with the surgeon and nutritionist a couple of weeks ago. Both told me it is normal to stop losing weight as you approach the one year mark. I have a physical handicap so my activity...

Starfisher-We all make grand plans of some sort or another but life always has a habit of getting in the way. All of us have had obstacles but we are here to listen and support you in any way possible. The fact that you are trying to get back on track will be an inspiration to many.

cst-the meal plans I was given is very vague on the amount of carbs we can have. I think they do this to deter us from eating them. You should ask your nutritionist but don't be surprised is you don't get a straight answer. I don't think small amounts of carbs will hurt anything but be careful...

I guess the 6 years of pre-surgical research I did paid off *LOL*

darkpoeticangel-I noticed you are using calcium gummies. I bought some too because they taste great and sure beat trying to swallow broken up pieces of those giant calcium tabs. There is a problem with the calcium gummies though. The ones I bought are not made from calcium citrate. According to...

Cook-Congrats on your weight loss, you are doing fantastic!!! It will take a few more weeks to be able to drink more fluids. In case you didn't know it your protein shakes and things like sugar free Jello and popsicles count towards your fluid goal. At 6 weeks out you should be able to eat eggs...

It is imperative to get a minimum of 60 grams of lean protein daily, 70 is better. You will lose muscle if you do not get enough protein. I know it seems like a lot and it can be difficult to eat enough to get in 60-70 grams a day but there are a lot of protein dense foods available. Tuna, milk...
