Hi Illinois folks.
Hi Dave...Welcome to the Illinois forum!
You will find a lot of support and friendship here.
Join the daily roll call so we can get to know you better.
Even tho we have had different surgeries, I don't think anyone gets in
60 grams of protein in the very beginning. As you start to eat real food you will get in more protein.
I'm the mother of 3, grandmother of 5.

Hi Dave
Welcome!
I am Nancy. I live down the road from you in LaSalle. Glad to have you aboard. You will find that this is a great group! I remember being 2 weeks out and getting so full. It does pass.
If and when you get tired of the protein shakes, I found homemade protein ice cream! I love it. You can find tons of recipes on theworldaccordingtoeggface.com She has some great recipes for icecream and other foods as well. I found I can stomach the ice cream when I could not take the shakes any longer.
I am single, have a teaching degree and a counseling degree and love to teach. I think you will really like that field. Currently I work at Office Max and then I teach a weekend class for the states attorney's office as a free lance professional for people who pass bad checks. It is interesting and keeps me on my toes.
Again welcome, and we look forward to seeing you on the daily roll call.

Hello Dave, I'm Robbie , I live in Rochelle and had my RNY in Dekalb - Sycamore- My Doctor was Dr. Maillefer at the Dekalb clinic. I had my RNY 9-15-2008 and have lost 60 lbs. but 103 since i started. Married for 26 years and have 3 children. One son killed at 17 years old 4 years ago. Who was your Doctor ? Welcome to the group.
Welcome Dave
I'm Angie and had my RNY June 23, 2008 and I love it. As of 12/24/08 I have lost 105.7 and down into a 14/16 from a 26/28. I live in Morris, Il and have 2 boys 25 and 15 and 2 step children who are 22 and 25, the only one at home is the 15 year old. I've been married to my awesome hubby for 2-1/2 years. I still have problems getting all my proteins in, some days I'm closer than others. And I have to agree with Nancy I got to the point where I couldn't hardly handle the protein shakes so I found the eggface website and made the protein ice cream (YUMMY)!
Well again please keep us posted on how your doing. The support on here is the best and you'll never meet a bunch of better people.

Hi Dave and welcome to the Illinois board!
Glad to "meet" you and hope you stop by often. We are a very friendly bunch, as you can see.
I had RNY in Madison, WI a little over 2 years ago. I was a "lightweight" and have lost a total of 90 lbs. from my highest.
I live in a tiny village called "Rock City" with my husband and two kids, David 15 and Liv, 12. I have a n older daughter who is married and has my granddaughter along with a stepson/grandson.
Hope to see more of you, and each day gets a bit better, you will see.

Hi Dave!
I've been away from the computer for a while and just saw your info. I'm Renee and I live in Rochelle but work at NIU. I had lap RNY on Oct. 20 and have lost 58 pound**** another plateau this week. I've really just started getting my exercise in so I'm hoping to jump start my weight loss again. Hope you have a great week. Classes start next week!!!!
