The band...

It has been a while since I posted to this blog and a few days ago I made a HUGE life change. On Thursday December 18th I got the Realize gastric band put in. After a lot of thinking and self evaluation I thought that it was the best solution to my weight problem.

Back in June I went to an info session and then began my journey to medical clearance, several doctors appointments and well over $1,000 in co-pays later here I am... BANDED!

It took me a while to decide on the band because I thought of it as an easy solution, but boy was I wrong. The diet Im on is like none other. For the next month its liquids only, and mush for another month thereafter.
Willpower is the only thing I can think of that's getting me through. That and learning to listen to my body. My current battle consists of discerning between hunger pains and gas... any suggestions?

BIG YUM-O

so I today is my day to cook for my roommate and I, and I decided to try something different. I made a no-noodle, vegetarian lasagna and it is sooooooooooooo good! Got the idea from my fave cook Miss Rachel Ray, with a few twists, but overall great. Seriously... I can barely believe it was me who made it.

Chef time!

Hear ye hear ye... bring me all ye recipes that are low carb low sugar and delicious! Seriously.. bring em.  Some things will never change, like my constant need to stop spending eating out!   One meal in particular always has room for improvement... and that's breakfast.  I love eggs. I love to eat eggs.  The problem comes in finding different ways to eat eggs.  Over the weekend I tried this recipe for  Sausage and Broccoli Egg Muffins  that I have been stalking for a couple of weeks.  Finally tried it, and I gotta say, I think I gotta hit here! I pretty much followed the recipe.  Only change was using cut up turkey sausage links instead of italian, and shredded mexican cheese instead or parmesan.  They actually microwave really well and the recipe makes a really hearty muffin!  I made them on sunday and they will be GREAT for my rush mornings.

Boo!

Bet you didn't think you would see a post from me did you? So I am trying get this right for the god knows how manyith time.  I'm going to go through my blogroll and read for the majority of the day and find out why all of you beautiful women can get it right but I cannot... PS thanks Ronke for the comment back in April!  I needed to hear from someone! In the meantime.  I have not been completely a bum.  I recently started a beauty blog with some friends.  Let me know what you think! www.tintedglam.com
