Good Morning Illinois. It's raining here and not a pretty start to the day. But I guess we need the rain, so I'll be happy. I'm still having a little trouble keeping down food, which I would think would be settling down a little after 4 months, but it's not to be. I'm fairly sure that I just need to slow down in my eating. I don't eat that much, but I still feel like I eat too fast. I may need to get myself a timer. Or I may go back to mushies for a while. I've never had a fill, but I have plenty of resistance. If I keep having problems after I slow down, I'll get with the doctor and see about a floroscope. Have a great day and try to dodge the rain!

Morning all. Gloomy day outside, but spirits are high indoors. The energy of a first week of kindergarten is really something!

Have a great day!

Good morning Paul, Christine and Illinois friends! My, this week is just flying by. I actually felt cold this morning on my trek to work. We really do need the rain but the forecast is way too much at one time. Yikes. I hope and pray that people don't get flooded!

Paul, it's great in a way that you have resistance without a fill. That was not my case. I've had 3 and I think that was the magic number for me. I find that certain foods I was able to tolerate a few weeks ago, I can't now. Like steak and pears. Go figure! Congrats on your weight loss success. I am so proud and happy for you!

It's only a few days away for my fun cruise with Pam. We're watching the path of the hurricanes and just hoping to get out on sea in Miami. We may land up in different ports of call because of the storms or hurricanes. This is my 3rd cruise and I can't wait for a lot of fun, fun and fun. You know with Pam there, it's going to be a blast.

I was happy to see that you all had a great time at Paul's. I'm hoping to be at the next gathering.

Well, time for work... only today and tomorrow. I'm almost finished packing too. Woohoo!!

Have a wonderful cool day. Stay dry!!

Hugs,
Lucy

Good Morning to all.

Paul, I am almost a year out and still have issues with food. I think its really a lapband thing. I think I will try your kosher pulled pork this weekend. Last night I was looking to see if I needed anything, and lo and behold, I don't have any real sugar in the house. I don't even know when the last time was I bought it!

Today is day 3 of H month. Hope it goes as good as the last two. At least I don't have to leave as early, since I am working in town today.

No big plans for the weekend except to play catchup.

Try to stay dry today.

Hugs

Good morning to all,
I hate to be a "debbie downer" but I love this weather. I like to do laundry and iron on drury days. I don't know why... Hope that everyone has a great day.

Good morning Paul and the rest of my IL family , for me today not much going on, I really need to get a life

It is raining here today again and cold. No

coffee for me today drinking my protein cappuccino, the coffee is just to hard on me, I will have to go shopping this weekend and get some decaf smooth and give that a try.
Paul sorry to hear you are still have problems with your food. It is so hard to learn to slow down when you eat , I too have a problem with that,
Lucy you and Pam have a good time on your trip hope you don't have any weather problems.
Hope everyone has a good 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 Janet. Thanks for the well wishes. Pam and I plan on being naughty as hell on the cruise. We both are looking forward to a lot of R&R. She has been very busy at work; that's why she hasn't been here on OH.

Take care!
Hugs,
Lucy
