So the wife and I turned vegetarian......

[DrDesmo]

betting how long this lasts?

I will update if I go off the rocker, but I gotta tell you, I am digging it now. It is so much different.

I guess my main issue is coming up with a variety of meals so I don't get sick of the same shit day in and day out.

Not at all - I've been considering doing the same thing for a while and am likely to do the same soon  

This place is near a lot of routes I usually do: http://cafeindigo.com/ and I've eaten there several times.  DELICIOUS.

You have definitely pressed your luck with all those Surgeries. Lucky to have not acquired an Antibiotic Resistant Hospital Bacteria like MERSA.    Dolph

Dude, I don't want to even get into the shit of my shoulder issues. It has make the beast with two backsing sucked and continues to. My first surgery was a night in the actual hospital. Second one was at a high end surgicenter and I ended up spending the night because they fed me way too many narcotics and I was off my rocker. I kept trying to check myself out at 11p claiming my girlfriend was coming to pick me up. Well, I didn't even have a girlfriend at the time. Apparently the doctor called my Dad at home (professional courtesy deal) and then my Dad called me (I had my mobile with me, god knows how many people I called and the ones that talked to me a few days later wondering what was wrong with me) pretty much saying my Doc called him at home and he put an executive block on me leaving.

Surgery 1: torn labrum, doctor inserted 3 pins in the front of my shoulder, leaving me a nice 4.5" scar. (January 1999)

8 months later pain resumed; visit to doctor showed that one pin had sheared out of my joint and now was floating in my shoulder cavity.

Met a great doctor through friends. Research showed very very positive feedback.

Surgery 2: Removed broken pin, drilled in 3 more and patched up the others. (February 2001)

Years pass, completely blow ligaments off my right ankle joint playing soccer (injury to shoulder happened during soccer as well) and opted not for surgery. Running and sports life have now ended at age 23.5

My doberman was getting her nightly walk and decided to chase a rabbit while my dumbass was holding the leash with my left (repaired) hand.

Figure out what happens.

Go see a fantastic rated Ortho Surgeon in Columbus who is nationally known. Looks at my history, says there is an issue but gives me the downlow:

1. It gets better
2. It stays the same
3. It gets worse

I opted to get it better, as I had been on Loratab (vicodin) for 3 months

Surgery 3: give me a front shoulder block, as damage from MRI (which was scheduled for 65 minutes, I lasted 15min due to shoulder pain) showed possible front issue, but since my shoulder was shaking during the entire MRI, results were not conclusive). Torn in the back, stitched up, back home in 5 hours.

Pescetarian would be the correct term.

No. 

Flexitarian eats mostly vegetarian diet with occassional meats.  What CB has described.

Pescetarian..does not eat meat except fish. 

CB said he already cheated and ate lamb today, right?!  So..that would put him in the flex category. 


   

[Holden]

You go Vegan for straight "political animal" issues and that is not something I am for, so that avenue is out.

make the beast with two backs animals.

Vegans avoid dairy in addition to meat for a variety of health reasons. Here are a few: http://chetday.com/prostatecancermilk.htm

I love the taste of meat. I grew up eating some of the best and freshest cuts in the world. I am just about the most carnivorous person you will ever meet.

Meat is the proof that god exists and want us to be happy.

Btw, I eat my meat rare-medium rare. Yum.

Blah de blah blah-basically he just eats healthy now.  He was an omnivore before, and he still is one. Nothing has changed.

[Triple J]

Good luck with the change.

I like Bacon and Proscuitto too much to go vegetarian. I really like Proscuitto!  

My wife and I have drastically cut back on the red meat though in the last 6 months. We used to eat it 3 times a week...now it's more like once every other week. We also eat more fish, and actually have dinners without meat every so often.

Do you like..fishsticks?

[ROBsS4R]

Do you like..fishsticks?

I really need to watch that episode so I get the joke.

I am mainly a Pescetarian but I do love a good 30 day dry aged steak occasionally.

[El Matador]

Do you like..fishsticks?

I am, admittedly, a gay fish. 

Speaking of, the Jonas Brothers one was just pure comedic gold.  Goddman, mickey is the shit.

Proscuitto wrapped around breadstcks with melon.   YUM!!    

I had that just about everyday for a 2 months after we came home from IT.  Good stuff!  

Haven't had it in awhile.  Thanks for the reminder!  

You should be eating fish everyday anyway TJJJ.  You live in Seattle!  

ROBS..You're not missing anything.  It was really a dumb episode!

in 1997 i made a major change in my life. my sister came to live with me, and she would not eat red meat.

change: my diet changed from primarily red meat and vegetables to fish and chicken and vegatables

result: i still eat red meat, but very infrequently. no mistake,... i still love a well marbled bone in rib eye. but i feel better, i think i have a much more well balanced diet, and i have opened new horizons where food is concerned.

today: my sister is long gone. i eat chicken or fish 3-4 times for every red meat meal. i actually prefer garden burgers over hamburgers. i am in NO way a vegetarian, but i think that i have found a good balance in my diet. after all, human animals are not herbivores...

My wife recently started weight-watcers and it has been beneficial to both of us. It is hard to cook for one, so I usually eat the same thing she does. We still eat meat, it's just less. Also, it's much more expensive to eat healthy!
