Hello everyone
I got to work safely. I gave myself extra time and didn't need it. There were a few roads that were bad but the most of the main roads were OK. Tonight will be the messy commute...more snow and more traffic. I am hoping since I don't leave to go home till about 6:30 the roads will be clear...at least I hope.
Well I have a problem. For a couple of weeks now I have had this pain way deep in my throat when I swallow. At first I thought it had to do with my strep. But the pain has moved lower into my throat. I have no problems eating. I haven't PB'ed or threw up and no acid reflux. It started right around the time had all those problems with post nasal drip. It hasn't gone away...in fact it has gotten worse. It's now a sharp stabbing pain when I swallow...anything even my saliva. So yesterday I called and made an appointment with my surgeon. I was happy when the nurse didn't seem to think that this was band related but wants me to have it checked out just in case. I am still nervous. What happens if it is a slip or if I have to have all my fluid drained. Remember I have a friend that lost her band and she gained back most of her weight...Oh gosh what happens if that's me. I have worked so hard to get to this point. My appointment is on Friday (which is good too because if the nurse thought it was really bad she would have fit me in sooner). I am trying to convince myself everything will be OK. But what would cause this???
Well I better get going...see ya later. Drive safe.

Good Snow Morning.
We have about 1 inch on the ground at this time. Was hoping the weathermen were wrong, but it doesn't seem so.
Cryatal, I hope your throat is nothing. Try not to dwell on it.
Noplans for today, except to get to work and then home. I ill probably use up the leftovers from the weekend for dinner tonight.
Have a safe warm day today.

Good Morning!
Crystal don't worry about the throat is prob just because of of the nasal drip.
Bloomington has a new weight loss program now. It just opened about 2 weeks ago one of the local hospitals. They only doing lap band at this time and the peps will have to go so Springfield for surgery but it is a start down here. I have a friend who is going to start her journey. Her informational meeting is March 11. I have told her about the site here and am hoping she will join soon.
Lots of snow. Kids have school (so far)! The schools were more than likely cancel after school activities though if the wind picks up.
Heading into work at 10 this morning and working til 7 tonight. (Maybe we will close early because of the weather!)
Have a great day.

Good afternoon Chris and the rest of Illinois!
I am at work, but it was difficult getting here this morning. I hope getting home is easier.
David is still home sick today. Poor guy! He doesn't often get sick enough to stay home.
Glad Crystal is going to get checked out. Hopefully, it is nothing major.
Not much else happening here.
Have a wonderful day!

Hello!
It just started snowing at 3am when I went out to start the car (or the husband went out to start the car
. So the drive wasn't bad at all for me. The drive home was a little more tricky.
Well, I did a dumb move today! I made my shake this morning to take with me.....and left my powder at home for the daytime shakes! I called by doctor at 11am since I was starving to see if I could get a drink at Target that would have the same nutrients. They said not really but I could this one time, get a healthy choice meal. I almost died and went to heaven! FOOD! I promised her that I wouldn't "forget" it again
So I am happy since I got to chew food Now I'm going to finish the conference call that I'm not listening to and go shovel the driveway. The husband hurt his back yesterday so it's up to me!
Hope you all have a safe ride home!

Good evening from the great white north!!
I went back to work today feeling a little bit better. I figured no fever and my stomach felt ok, I may as well go back to work.
I am having an issue with meat. I am now on soft foods and I have been chopping my meat, blending my meat etc. What had not bothered me before is now making me have a horrible reaction. I am so tired of vomiting!! As of now, the only meat protein I can handle is tuna! I can't eat tuna everyday. I also get ill drinking the whey protein mixes. I am so panicky about getting in the protein. I guess Greek yogurt is the way to go for me for awhile.
I have found a protein drink I can handle, Bolthouse Farms, Chocolate Protein drink. It has 30gm of protein in the bottle. However, it is a combo of soy and whey protein. Plus the sugar content is higher than that of just plain whey drinks. The sugar does not bother me at all. How scary! The thought of not getting in enough protein scares me the most. Another drink I have found is Naked Protein. Again 30g per bottle. Another combo of soy and whey protein, but higher in sugar. I think both are 20g a serving. So what is worse, the sugar or lack of protein. I am losing and I am feeling good, so I don't know. Oh well.
Hope all have a great night!!
