Sunday Morning Coffee and Roll Call

Good Morning from little ol Watson, IL. I just wanted to let everyone know that my surgery has been scheduled for July 22nd. I am very curious to where everyone gets the liquid vitamins  and protein to purchase. I love the Atkins brand products but unsure if they they are full of the whey they dont want you to have. What kind of a schedule of liquid type foods only does it last until real food can be consumed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Harry

Good Morning. GNC and The Vitimin Shop are two places, you can also get them online. Your Dr  can give you a schedule of what he wants you to do about eating, since everyone is different. Are you having RNY or Lapband? Today I have a few chores to do, then we are going to the 4th of July parade. (Yes, this town holds their parade on the  Sunday after).  Our fireworks are always on the Saturday before the Parade.  Wendi, did you watch the Nascar Race  last night? We got home from the fireworks to see the last 5 laps. We are going to St. Louis in 2 weeks to see the Nationwide Race at the GatewayRace Track. I can't wait. Also to see Friends and go to the 17th St. Grill.  Today is going to be pick up the house, go tothe parade, make a great dinnner (Pork Loin) and get ready to meet the week from H#$#$  #1. Also, pick up the yard, putting thecushions and umbrellas away. They are predicting Rain this week, and I don't want them to get soaked.  Hugs

Good morning friends!

We are meeting Monica and her family today. Kay is out in the garden now. She won't let pictures be taken yet, Lisa, but there will be some by the end of the week.

We had a lovely dinner at Saffron Bistro last night and we will be having the leftovers tonight. Yum!

Have another great day!

Connie 

Connie, the next time we are headed north, I think I will have to get in touch with you. You and Kay always seem like you go to the neatest places to eat.

Good morning Harry, and congrats on your up coming surgery soon you will be joining us on the losers bench,  I get my protien from www.bodybuilding .com and love it, and for me yes the liquid diet after surgery did  work for me, as I did not want to eat anything . For me today not much going on we might go over to Durand this afternoon to watch the outhouses race, I have never have been to them before so it should be alot of fun, Last night a very dear friend of our was taken to the Hospital with chest pains and he could not catch his breath they did keep him over night as they don't know what he has they were thinking a heart attack and now they are thinking he might have a blood clot, we are hoping to find out today what is going on, Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, Hope everyone has a great day, and enjoy the nice weather.

Good morning all,   Congratulations on getting your surgery date HDGD, I can't hardly wait for mine. Lisa, Earl & I  love NASCAR too. Connie, everyone is right it sounds like you always find interesting places to go eat, we don't have much of a selection by us, but for right now that is probably better for me. Janet you'll have to tell us about the outhouse races, sounds quite unique.  I''m off to my daughters going to ride my bike over and go in their pool with the grands. Have a Happy Sunday, Paulette

Good Morning Harry and the rest of my IL family!

Harry, only your Dr can give you a schedule of what to eat and for how long after surgery.  every Dr is different with that.  As for the vitamins I used chewables after a week at home.  I use the Optisource and with those you don't need anything extra except calcium.  I have heard though that the Vitamin Shoppe and GNC are both great places to get our stuff we need after surgery.

As for me today, I get to meet Connie and Kay in a couple of hours on the way to my sister's!  I am very excited!  After that it's to my sister's to visit, hang out in her pool and BBQ....should be a good day.

I hope everyone enjoys the weather, it's supposed to be quite warm!!

Good morning Harry and my Illinois family! It's already pretty warm out there, I wish I had a pool to use!  We had a "sleepover" last night. Ava and Vince and their mommy spent the night. I'm glad they don't mind sleeping on the sofa sleeper. We spent two hours yesterday walking around babys r us....great for extra exercise. Not much going on today..I have stuffed peppers cooking in the crockpot.  Haven't tried them in there before, so I hope they turn out well. Hope everyone has a great day!

Harry congrats on the surgery date. I had lapband and I take the centrum chewables and a b12 vit everyday!.  My doc said it had all I need in it. Your dr will let ya know if the one you choose is alright just check out a few and ask him. All drs have different schedules their own plans for their patients. If you ask your dr he she will give you a list of the proper scedule for you. My plans today is get the house cleaned before I head north on Wed.  It looks like its going to be a great day but very windy in my neck of the Corn Field! Have a grat one! Karen 

Hello Illinois friends!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  We just got back from Indiana Beach.  Congrats on the surgery date Harry!!   Michelle
