I ate some cheese today without looking at it. At least I hope it was cheese.

Well that's nice of him!

What about raspberry ketones?

When I'm awake. :laugh:

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

I once had a cat who had *me* convinced he was a dog in disguise. He was the clumsiest goober I'd ever seen, and that included all the dogs I owned. He wasn't the least bit graceful like cats are supposed to be. He also liked to lick anyone who came to my house.

Once trying to mount my bicycle, I swung my leg over from left to right (not realizing the bike and I were on a slight downward incline), completely missed the pedal, and fell over with the bike going to the left down the incline and me going to the right. Banged my knee really bad and really should have seen the doctor,…

QFT.

I was just about to say something very similar. Being away from home from 8 am - 6 pm, five days a week, is pretty typical for anyone with a full-time job. Yet loads of people in such situations have dogs and everyone does just fine. What matters most is how much of their free time a person spends with their dog, or any…

I recommend doing a web search for good apartment dogs, dog breeds that can best tolerate being alone, etc. Or talk to someone at a local animal shelter, vet's office, etc. I understand the basset hound feels like an opportunity you can't pass up (I feel the same way whenever I hear about a cat needing a home), but believe…

I'm a sort-of single dog mom. (The dog is my husband's but he's a trucker and is on the road a lot.) I'm away from home at my job about the same hours per day as you. Let me tell you, it's a major pain in the butt and I've already told him that when this dog passes on, we're not getting another one until he gets a job in…

I have to do a 24-hour fast (clear liquids only) prior to a medical procedure next month and I'm already planning where and what I want to eat on the last night I can have real food. That, or figure out a way to turn a prime rib and mashed potato dinner into a clear liquid. :embarassed:

A few years ago I ended a bad relationship just two days before New Year's. I was too angry and depressed to be around other humans and celebrate, so I decided my NYE would be a junk food and cable TV free-for-all. That day I hit the grocery store and bought all the essential NYE snacking supplies. The cashier even asked…

Meh.

On how to lift sammiches? Shouldn't that be sort of an instinct?

Sure... "mistake"... :bigsmile:

That really simplifies things! Thanks for the tip. :bigsmile:

Oh okay then. Before I had my last colonoscopy, my gastroenterologist said to eat nothing but chocolate cream pies the entire week before. He has a real sense of adventure, that guy. Edited to add: But since you're having gall bladder surgery, and bile is green, then maybe key lime pies would be more appropriate?

As others have said, that's a question only your doctor can answer. I'm surprised he didn't give you a list of pre- and post-op instructions.

I'll send you an FR. :-)

Um, I know. It was supposed to be a joke. Oh well can't win them all. :laugh:

I sent you an FB message. It will go to your "Other" folder since we're not FB friends. Thanks!

Thanks! I prefer all natural ingredients too.

Do you have any recipes that use Quest bars as an ingredient in protein shakes?

In for responses. I also want to start protein shakes, but am overwhelmed by the variety of protein powders that are available. I'd hate to invest upwards of $40 only to find out the product was awful. I've searched the forums for people's opinions on their favorites, but everyone seems to like a different type. On the…

Drink water on the rocks and tell people it's vodka. :wink:

Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up raspberry ketones.

Um, there are only 3 macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
