Thursday Roll Call

Hello everyone

Well I got my unfill yesterday.  I had .2 ccs removed.  It's like night and day.  I feel much better, I don't have the constant feeling of pressure and fullness.  I ate applesauce last night and it stayed down with no problems.  I had no reflux last night either. Let's just hope I still lose weight

I hope this day just flys by.  I am soooo looking forward to the weekend.  

Well I hope everyone stays warm out there.  Have a nice day.    
   

I am so glad that you are feeling better!  I am sure you will continue to lose weight, just keep to your plan and get the exercise in when you can!

I am ready for Saturday, I have been bad about hitting the snooze alarm the last 2 mornings.

Not too bad today, I am suited up to go do my lap swimming, then home to make a few phone calls, then work, then home, then oldest has guitar lessons and then I have the parent meeting for our 2nd grader's first Confession next week.  So all in all, not too busy of a day!

I was thinking about my usual friday routine, my hubs has to go to work early on Fridays so usually me and the kids order in and watch movies.  This week I am cooking something and then we are going to the Y for open swim and the kids and I are going to swim instead! 

Well everyone, stay warm, wear your hat and gloves!

Dear Carol:

That is an AWESOME idea, and exactly what is meant by "lifestyle changes".  Keep up the great work!

HI Crystal and Illinois

Crystal, SO GLAD you are feeling better. I was worried about you.  Think about how much .2 cc is...not much, but it made a world of difference.  I'm sure your weight loss will continue.  That's part of the sweet spot (so I hear)  feeling full, but not TOO tight.  Good luck.

Carol, GREAT idea for friday with the kids.  I"m sure they'll love going swimming, especially in January.

Not much going on here.  Just wanted to say hi and everyone have a super day.  I'm ready for the weekend.

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

So glad you are felling better!

 

I am working today, then home to begin packing for the “Big Weekend" of Todd’s “Christmas" party.  Tomorrow, I will work half a day, go home, pack everything into the car, pick the kids up from school then head back into Rockford for the whole weekend.  We will be staying at a hotel in town.  That is part of the fun of the “Big Weekend"……Todd’s company pays for our room on Saturday night (along with dinner, drinks and dancing).  Rooms are made available for us at a discount on Friday night and we take the kids for that so they can swim and have fun.  We look forward to this every year.

 

This year will be a bit different though as the kids have dress rehearsals all weekend.  I will take them to the theater early Saturday morning, Amber will pick them up and keep them at her house overnight.  She will take them to the theater on Sunday and we will pick them up before heading home.

 

Todd and I went up to Madison for dinner last night using the certificates I won.  It was really fun to do something so spontaneous in the middle of the week!  I think we should do something similar maybe once a month.  We ate at the “Cabana Room" and it was yummy!

 

I am trying something different since OH will not let me type more than a sentence or two.  I am typing it all out in WORD, then I will paste onto OH.  I hope it works, because you ALL know…….I have trouble keeping it to one phrase!  hehehehehe

 

I wish everyone a wonderful and warm day!

Goood Morning!

The sun is out, there is blue in the sky, now, if we could all stay in and think warm breeses, it would be a perfect day.

I am all phyched out for today. I am off work for the weekend, have already made some soup for lunch, have my sencond load of wash in, want to change the bed, and I feel great. Oh, and I am on my 2nd cup of decafe.I still need to clean the kitchen and the main bathroom, and pick up the rest of the house, but I feel I could fly through all of it.

Yesterday, I went back to the basics. Did a liquid shake and yogurt for lunch, had 1/2 of a protein bar for lunch, and soup for dinner. I had no problems at all, and stayed away from the friendly toilet. Today, I will have a shake for breakfast, soup for lunch and a regular dinner. We will see how that works.

Carol, I love your plan for the next 2 days. You are in the process of changing your life style. Keep up the great work.

Crystal, I am so glad you  are doing better.


Have a great day, stay warm ,and  safe,

Huggers,
LISA

Good morning everyone!

Crystal, I'm so glad you are feeling better.  I remember from my stricture time how miserable it was to eat anything!  I hope you still get some restriction and see results. 

Carol M, wow, what a great plan you have for Friday.  My daughter is enjoying my increased activity level as well.  I'll bet you will have a great time.

I am off to the gym.  I'm so glad I'm doing the personal training sessions, because it is FORCING me to go!  I need to add in a 3rd day though, and then work up to 4.  Work has been so brutal lately that I'm sore and tired everywhere on my days off so I find it tough to make myself go exercise.  I think it would actually make me feel better if I'd just DO IT!  

I'm looking forward to a quiet day afterward.  I haven't seen Emily for two days (she's asleep when I leave and return from work) so we will get to have some "girl time" after school today.

Have a great day everyone,

Stephanie

Good morning,
So glad you're feeling better Crystal.  Good idea Carol, I bet the kids will love it too.  Well, I got home from the gym this morning and had a message from my PCP that my insurance approved my RNY and she was going to fax it to the surgeon's office today.  Hopefully I'll have a date soon.  I'm very excited.  What a way to start this beautiful sunny day.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Lynn, What a great way to start a great day. You will be joining us on the losers bench shortly.
