Tuesday Roll Call

Good morning Lisa and the rest of Illinois!

I think this weather wants to keep us all in bed in the morning!  I was so comfortable but had to get up and get the last of the tie dye off of the line and into the wash.  The rug and towels did not exactly turn out as I had planned, but they will do.  It was a choice between getting new or trying the dye.  I will use the rug for a while until I find something I like better.

After work, I plan on going home and grilling out.  We have charcoal, so I usually do 3-4 meals worth of meat at once.  I took out steak, salmon, hamburger and chicken.  I am going to make a tomato/basil dish on the side.  Yummy!

Not too much else happening here......

Everyone have a magestic day!

Monica- Farina is on Interstate 57 between Salem and Effingham. 

Our supper tonite is taco made with ground turkey,whole grain chips,RF shreddad cheese,lettuce,RF sour cream,tomatoes and salsa

Morning ... err ... afternoon, all. Today has been a pretty good day.

Did my daily walk this morning after I walked the kids to the bus stop. After that I came home, showered and got dressed for the ministry work. Had a good morning doing that with my mom and two other ladies. Went to my therapy appointment and now have to figure out what's for dinner. Probably Hamburger Helper since the kids are so picky!

I hope you all are having your best today.

Maybe you could start experimenting with making some simple stir frys for them instead of the HBH. They would get good solid poultry or other meat and veggies. Throw in a little brown rice and you have the basic three food groups.

The HBH has so much sodium and preservatives in them.

They get their share of veggies and protein. Last night we had tilapia with rice and broccoli. Today is just a lazy day. They'll survive. lol

Everyone needs a lazy day. The tilapia sounds wonderful.

Hello Im Laurie New in here .. Looking for a suportsystem in il close to dekalb like to meet some people in person maybe talk over tea  or coffee and have alot of friends on line ... had a busy day now doing more research i think im resaerching at least 3 hrs aday on lapband and sleeve..have a nice  day every one  and yes as you can see ima very poor speller lol

I love to see a pre op that does research because it is so important to be a well informed patient. Do not worry about the spelling, that is minor. I am a little NE of you and not able to run out to the DeKalb area. We do have get togethers a few times a year in various areas of the the northern area of IL, mostly slightly south of I80 and up to the Rockford area.

Hi!  I am not sure where Claire is.  I am in LaSalle which is about an hour Southwest of DeKalb.  I would be glad to meet you sometime for a visit!  I had an RNY so I dont know as much about the sleeve or the band but love to get to know fellow OH people!

Good Afternoon!

Hi Laurie and Welcome!

Just got back from my 4 week doctor appoint. He said everything is good and I will see you in 2 months. I have officially lost 26 lbs. I weighed myself this morning and then again was weighed at the doctor office. The weight was the same!

No moore pureed foods-get to eat the solids now. Making pork chops for dinner. YUM YUM. When we were in Madison on Saturday I got a Apple Mustard (Thats right -Mustard) and it was delish on a pork lion so going to be using it on the pork chops.

Going back to work on Monday. I am actually looking forward to that. I had my choice on when to go back. Thought since I had other things set up for the rest of the week I would take advantage of it.

Have a great afternoon and enjoy the beautiful day.
