Thursday Roll Call

Good morning all! It seems like many of us are on, but no roll call yet...... I am working today then home. I found some Grouper in the store yesterday and I am excited to go home and cook it. We had Grouper in Florida, and I am HOPING that this is almost as good. I know that it can't possibly be as good as fresh from the ocean. I may go to Wally World at lunch to pick up a few things, but it is so dreary out there, I might just stay inside and read. We will see. The barbequed crock pot chicken was pretty good, only it needed more chicken and less sauce. The family liked it though, so it is a keeper. I am trying to get the trip to New Orleans with my Aunt squared away too. That is becoming an interesting adventure. We are now thinking of taking the Amtrak "City of New Orleans" train. I am looking forward to the party and will update on Monica when I know something. Everyone have a spectacular (if rainy) day!

Tell someone that you love them!

Morrning, all! I have a cold so I am sluggish today. The weather does not help, either. I wish my son's school would call and tell us it's cancelled so I can stay home! (I seem to remember making that same wish thousands of time when I was a kid--some things never change!) I hope I feel better so that I can go workout tonight. (Did I really say that??) Have a good day! Nicolle

I had the kick-butt duodenal switch (DS)!

Hey Martha! Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that you are NOT going crazy......you probably ARE crabbier than usual. There are some hormones that are stored in fat and once you lose a bunch of the fat quickly, the hormones are kind of "bouncing off the walls" and your emotions get all out of whack. I have never had a problem with PMS or crankiness but about 4-5 months after my surgery, I started getting horrible headaches and "crankiness" is a very nice word for what I was going through. I really would have preferred to smack most people instead of look at them. It was kind of scary. This too shall pass, just hang in there!

Tell someone that you love them!

Good morning Dawn and the rest of IL, I had a nice time yesteday with my Janesville trip, went to a few stores and had lunch a at mexican rest. the food was very good, Well what little I ate, Today not much going on I did have to run to walmart to get some food but other than that staying home, Dawn the BBQ chicken sounds very good, I will have to make it some day, Wishing Monica a speedy recovery Hope everyone has a great day, and stay dry,

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Hi everyone! This is my only day off of the week, and it's raining

, but on the plus side, I hit my first major milestone and got below 200lbs!!! So, it has been an exciting week. I am off to my bodyflow class (a little yoga, a little pilates, and some tai chi), time to think like a pretzel! LOL Have a good day everyone, and stay dry.
