Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2004OTP: SoBch - Day 5
Well, I ran out of canadian bacon two days ago and yesterday didn't cook anything for lunch and I am tired. This is not good. However, I am pulling myself together and heading to the grocery to get more eggs and more CB. John fixed me a bunless hamburger last night and I perked up so must need more protein and probably would be best served with red meat. I am down 11 pounds which I think is mostly water. My breast feel lighter today which is a huge plus. They had to have weighed more than 10 pounds a piece cause I am not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds with my right hand and they were too heavy for my right hand. No - I didn't set one on a scale to see. rofl Anyway, I noticed this morning when shoving them into a bra that they were lighter. So I need the cheering section to come up with a cheer to give me some energy to actually cook a meal.

When you have the energy, make a quiche without the crust; just oil the pan, so the quiche parts don't stick. Then you can just heat up slices as you need them. SignatureAF > When you have the energy, make a quiche without the crust; just oil the > pan, so the quiche parts don't stick.

I'm so close to a really good cholesterol level, I think eliminating the eggs I've been eating will do it. BTW, while we aren't doing a true South Beach thing here, you all are inspiring me. I've been playing tricks on Mike. Making stir fry the other day, I added tomatoes to the rice instead of the the vegetables. Made him think he was getting more rice than he was! LOL Added vegetables to couscous last night so he got a lot more veggies when he inhaled it. Got ziplock bags of cut-up broccoli, peppers and onions in the frig so I'll use them rather than being to tired or sore to cut stuff up. And the grocery store across the street has wild salmon on a great sale this week. The freezer is filing up..........

I've never knowingly ingested egg beaters, so I don't know what the texture is. It can't hurt to give it a try, though. SignatureAF >And the grocery store across the street has wild salmon on a great sale this I can get it at a better price than you can. LOL I have a very dear friend (an old Army buddy actually) who lives in Oregon who catches it, has it smoked and then sends me some. She is sooooooo good to me. lol Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Got my books ordered today. So will be getting started when they get here.

Red Green Please, I'd love to have the egg beaters recipe. Is it just egg whites? > >Can quiches be made with egg beaters? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'.

Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green OK Here is the egg substitute I promised. 1 pinch of saffron (but saffron is SOOOO expensive, I use yellow food coloring instead, as it is mainly for color) 1/4 C skim milk 1 T non-fat powdered milk 1 tsp of veg. oil 3 egg whites slightly beaten Add saffron and non-fat milk to skim milk. Then add oil and egg whites. Mix well. This recipe makes a single serving.(Like enough egg substitute for an omelet.) Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Thank you so much for digging out the egg recipe. Boca Jan > OK Here is the egg substitute I promised. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'.

Red Green > Absolutely!

I would just leave them for Mike, but as you say, cheaper is good. I know that egg beaters are not just separated eggs... and in quiches, would you just substitute an equivalent amount of egg beaters for the eggs? We're both working on this now (it's day 3 and getting hard! LOL). having crustless quich around will help. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare >though it will still pain me >to throw away part of an egg. Nann-if it was me I would use those egg yolks to make home made noodles. Then either sell them at farmers markets or the like. Or just give them away to people.> would you just substitute an equivalent amount of egg beaters >for the eggs? The recipe makes a single serving. About 3/4 C. I would call that the equivalent of 2 eggs. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together."

You can make a quiche with egg beaters. Use a little less milk than you might otherwise. And a little more of the filling stuff. Egg beaters are for all practical purposes colored egg whites. And cook about the same way. To each his own but the doctor who developed SoBch claims that eggs really don't have much effect of you cholesterol, but to use egg beaters if you prefer. Jo >To each his own but the doctor who developed SoBch claims that eggs really >don't have much effect of you cholesterol, but to use egg beaters if you >prefer. Yes. Research is showing that eggs arent the bad guys we were always led to believe they were. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green > You can make a quiche with egg beaters. Use a little less milk than you > might otherwise. And a little more of the filling stuff. Egg beaters are > for all practical purposes colored egg whites. And cook about the same way. Oh, good. Thanks > To each his own but the doctor who developed SoBch claims that eggs really > don't have much effect of you cholesterol, but to use egg beaters if you > prefer. actually, the research shows that dietary cholesterol, including but not limited eggs, isn't that much of a factor in truly high cholesterol. Mine was at that point a fewmonths ago. Apparently it's truly familial for my generation. My brother, sister and I all had our cholesterol skyrocket at about the same age. We brought mine down from really high with Lipitor. Now, my ratio is just a little bit off - at the level that diet CAN fix - so we're trying it that way for 6 months. And those oodles of eggs I'd been eating where the logical first step. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare LOL, I was wondering how you knew they were lighter, Duckie! I was picturing you putting them on a kitchen scale :-))))) Thanks for the laugh!

With costochondritis and other ribcage pain, wearing these DD bras can be really painful. But I'm trying to lose some weight first in case that does enough for me. With age creeping up on me though, I still think it's in my future unless my drugs get a lot better!

She started at a 52HH and they brought her down to a C cup. They removed 20 pounds of breasts. She has a respiratory disease and since her surgery was so extensive, she had 2 plastic surgeons working on her at the same time to reduce the time under anesthesia. Really made a huge difference in her back problems and the ridges cut in the top of her shoulders. Everytime I tried dieting, I would never lose in my bust until I had my stomach stapled in 1998. I lost 240 pounds and finally, FINALLY got down to normal breasts. It was nice being able to wear cute shirts for the first time since junior high. Good luck with the diet, everyone. I started to say, "keep your chins up" but that didn't sound quite right. LOL I'll be sending you all good thoughts and prayers.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > made a huge difference in her back problems and the ridges cut in the > top of her shoulders. I think we're just laughing to try to make "light" of it (sorry - couldn't resist) I think all of us busty types can empathize. I can't imagine being your sister's size. The surgery must have been a incredible relief. It is so unimaginable that women ar out there spending thousands of dollars to get to this size. Don't they have any idea of what's in store for them?
