Oh I love the 3 Lean Cuisines a week purchase. I eat them a lot. When asked if I want to go out to dinner, I say lets stop by the store and I will live it up and eat a high fat lean cuisine. My husband says I am a cheap date lol.

You always come up with good one! I finally got a chance to check this site out and love it. Took me a while to find you here! I am counting down for you!!! Hope all is well!

oh that was cute!!!! i never went the lean cuisine route - just don't like them. and i gotta tell you - the pic on my passport is about 200 pounds old, and when i first got on a plane, the ticket person - on an air india flight - noticedl it took 3 MORE INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS before ANYONE at US customs said anything!!!!!

[Shy Moment]

jiffy
There are only about 8 of them I like plus the chicken clubs and the pizzas. Also like a couple of the lean pockets. Between that many choices and what I eat with the family. I have so much to eat I never get bored lol.

Ohhhhh, Nan, you hafta add one for me!!! You know you've had WLS when:

Your ob/gyn says you're too skinny/lost too much weight.

Story as follows (lol):
I've had the same doc for almost 10 years, don't know how the **** I managed that since she and I were both on active duty for some time and are now both civilians. I have to go in at least yearly, sometimes every 6 months. I had clear-cell adenocarcinoma in-situ (cervical cancer) when I was 17, 3rd generation exposure to a drug called DES. It can be aggressive, so, yeah, I get the goods checked FREQUENTLY, lol. I almost cried. No one has ever said I looked to skinny before, lol.

[jiffypop]

i had no idea that 3rd generation exposure to DES could do this!!!!! congratulations. on the weight loss, that is.
