LORI

Good morning Nancy and the rest of IL, Well for me on New Years Eve, I had to have a C. T. Scan and the white stuff they make you drink made me sick and along with the IV Dye they put in also made me sick so I was in bed by 7 pm and yesterday just did not feel good all day, Plus my Knee is giving me problems again, now the back of my knee and leg hurt a lot so I am down with that still,
Not much else going on here, Hope everyone has a good day
Janet,

Could you be slightly allergic to iodine?  I am so I always have to warn them not to give me a dye with iodine in it. Luckily it takes several pounds of shellfish to make me actually ill.  I was getting an x-ray with a dye way back when and the tech asked if I was allergic to iodine.  I mentioned that I had once gotten feverish, weak and clammy after a buffet where I had maybe two pounds of shrimp plus other shellfish and fish.  He started the IV.  I told him I thought I was going to pass out which I proceeded to do.  When I came to he held up the IV and said "there is your two pounds of shrimp." 

Hey Illinois WLS Gang,

Just checking in.  I have started walking inside my building.  I have set some goals that I guess you folks can see by clicking on my name under my picture.  I have PMed some folks this morning and just realized I had not checked in.

Hello everybody,
Well not much going on. Working at my dest thru lunch so I wanted to check in.

I've reached my 2 months out from surgery and I'm doing OK. Everyday I think I eat too much or too fast or something, so today I'm really watching my portions, getting in my protien in small increments, and planning on having a very healthy dinner. I did really well over the holidays but there was just a lot of temptation and I'm kinda glad it's all over. 

Too I think I should loose weight every week and it just doesn't work that way. I loose it in clumps. I'll go for two even three weeks then I'll loose five pounds all at once.  Crazy. At first it made me nuts to do this then I saw this was going to be the norm for me. I just have to be really strict with what I'm eating. 

 I'm such a nervous nellie, I just don't want to ruin all the hard work of the surgery and everything.  I can't wait til Dr. R. lets me have decaf-coffee again.  Isn't it funny how one dr will let you have one thing and the other won't. 

Will someone tell me again how to make frozen protien.  I would really like to try this.
Ok, I'm now rambling, everybody stay warm and hope for good economical news.

 Are you talking about protein ice cream?  I love this stuff.  My favorite recipe is:

In a blender put 3 heaping scoops vanilla protein powder.  Add vanilla soy mil****il the fill line of 2 1/2 -3 cups.  Add 1 heaping TBSP vanilla sugar free davinci syrup.  Add 10 frozen strawberries and process until blended.  Pour into ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's directions.  I then chop one banana between 4 zip lock 1 3/4 c. bowls.  I add chopped strawberries and blueberries or other fruit.  Pour in ice cream mixture, stir.  Top with lid and freeze.  To serve, place individual container in microwave for 30 - 45 seconds and enjoy.

Sounds good but I don't have an ice cream freezer, need to see if any of my friends do.  Wouldn't you think someone would come up with this so we could buy it at whole foods.

Good afternoon everyone!

Had a great party at my house on New Years and A Day of Sloth yesterday.  Everyone stayed the night and we just lazed around yesterday.  The last guests left at 7 yesterday but it was great just catching up and being lazy together. 

I am on the other side of 300 for the first time since 2004, but seem to have hit the 3 week stall.  I was losing 2-3 lbs a day and haven't lost a thing for 3 days.  But I am glad to see 299!
