~*~GTKY~*~

If these are lame, just :thwap: me. My mind has been in a hundred other area's and can't seem to focus on what to ask lately. Prolly from the strained brain I go in for a re-check tommorrow, cause I've been quite accident prone since the skate-boarding incident. Not that I was ever all that graceful, Ok 1st question, stealing from Tema's idea about a week ago. 1. Do you have a SO? If so tell us about them. 2. If you work, what is the WORST food choices you really notice people around you make now? 3. Pre and Post op'rs - How many Calories do you take in a day @ months out @ time till? 4. Who'd be interested in a mid summer picnic about mid-ohio? Potluck of course or maybe even a camping trip? Who's game? Or a ballgame, maybe a club room at the world famous Mudhens Stadium? Toledo Zoo? We've got a nice one up here (+not nearly as congested as :ahem: Columbus or Cincy) Ok well that's a few thoughts on that.. ok Answers please? 1. NOPE - Can't find a good man to save my life, either that or I'm just to mean and nasty... naaa ORNERY is more the word for what I am. I think I was destined to be alone. 2. Oh Lordy! I work at the NW Ohio Food Bank this year, and OMG the ONLY thing the others can seem to find to eat is donuts, cookies, pastries, pies, cakes, etc. What makes it worse? MY DESK Is in the kitchen/meeting area where they bring it all to put on the cubboard. It's behind my back all friggin day long. But I'm good ~ I keep Rite Aid's brand hard candy in my desk.. mmm butterscotch mmm. 3. Ok who asked this dang question? I do not know how many calories I take in a day at just over 6 months out. I do know however how much protein I take in daily and my fluid intake. Protein from 80 - 105 g's a day.. water 80 + depends on what I am doing. But at the very least 80. I'm still not eating a whole lot. Sample menu below: B- CIB/NSA w/skim (10 oz) milk 12 g's protein sometimes have 1 or 1 slices of turkey bacon with it, only 2 g's of protein per slice. water.......water..... sometime General Mills NSA/decaf French Vanilla S- Profect protein -25 g's of protein L-3 oz's chicken - water........water..... water... S- maybe a couple crackers/ (home from work drink) General Mills NSA/decaf French Vanilla D- 3 oz's of beef/pork/chicken whatevah I got out the fridge, 1/4 cup veggies (i like broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, green beans) maybe 1 or 2 bites of potato's/rice/pasta water..................... and no late night Snack 4. Where does she come up with this c&(^ ! I'd be interested!

1. Do you have a SO? If so tell us about them..... Married three years to a great guy that is more insecure than me..so he is really appreciative. I like that in a man 2. If you work, what is the WORST food choices you really notice people around you make now?..... I work at home so that choices would be my DH who feels he must have dessert with every meal. 3. Pre and Post op'rs - How many Calories do you take in a day @ months out @ time till?... I'm pre-op and have been watching my calories closely for the last month. I take in an average of 1300 per day. 4. Who'd be interested in a mid summer picnic about mid-ohio? Potluck of course or maybe even a camping trip? Who's game? Or a ballgame, maybe a club room at the world famous Mudhens Stadium? Toledo Zoo? We've got a nice one up here (+not nearly as congested as :ahem: Columbus or Cincy) Ok well that's a few thoughts on that.. ok Answers please?... I doubt that I could come. My work is seasonal and this is my busy time. Cathy

Okay, my answers: 1. My husband Kevin is a great guy. We didn't get married until we were in our mid 30's (both never married)...knew each other for 14 years before our first date! We will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in Nov. 2.Actually it seems that my school chums are very health oriented...the worst I can say is the occasional can ofpop/candy bar combo...and that is rare. 3. I HAVE NO CLUE.....I should, but I don't. 4. I like the idea of getting togethersocially with people from this board...it all depends on day, time and place.

I love answering questions...IM so strange....hehhe.... 1. Do you have a SO? Yes, I have a wonderful, he is a great person and an even better father. He supports me with my future WLS and I think he is a little excited that maybe he will loose weight also. Oh..we met in a chat room on AOL and will be married 7 yrs in Sept. yeah... 2. If you work, what is the WORST food choices you really notice people around you make now? Well, since I havent had the surgery "YET", that would be me....I like to eat and am trying to get it all out of me before I get a date to to next stage of my life. 3. Pre and Post op'rs - How many Calories do you take in a day @ months out @ time till? Wow...it depends on the day....Since I am Pre..by about 2 more months...I get a lot...wayyyy.tooooo...much....but i do eat salad and fruit also...not just crap... 4. Who'd be interested in a mid summer picnic about mid-ohio? Potluck of course or maybe even a camping trip? Who's game? Or a ballgame, maybe a club room at the world famous Mudhens Stadium? Toledo Zoo? We've got a nice one up here (+not nearly as congested as :ahem: Columbus or Cincy) Ok well that's a few thoughts on that.. ok Answers please?

Thanks for the opportunity: 1. Do you have a SO? If so tell us about them. Single girl here. 2. If you work, what is the WORST food choices you really notice people around you make now? The gamut from very healthy to donuts for breakfast. I won't be back there for a while. 3. Pre and Post op'rs - How many Calories do you take in a day @ months out @ time till? I am just 7 days out today and I know I did not eat enough. I did actually drink about 60 ounces of water. How can I get hungry enough to eat? 4.

Toledo Zoo? We've got a nice one up here (+not nearly as congested as :ahem: Columbus or Cincy) Ok well that's a few thoughts on that.. ok Answers please? I might do an afternoon thing but am not into camping. I would be most likely to attend if it is close to Columbus. Thanks Vickie, hope you feel better.

1. I am married to a wonderful supportive husband. We have been married for 5 years. He has been so great taking care of the house, bills and extra running since my surgery. (not to mention taking great care of me) 2. At work we have a small cafe. I notice all the time the large portions people eat, and how fast they eat it in. Then I think I use to do that, I am so glad I don't anymore. 3. I really don't count calories yet still new to the post op side. I have just been trying to get inmy protein and water. I still don't hit either one of them, however I plan to buy some liquid protein on June 6th to help in that area. And as for the water, what can I say but sip sip and sip and still not getting it all in. However I have learned to take ice put it in the blender with a little water or SF crystal light and have slushes. Strange but I actully like just the plain water and ice. 4. I would love to have get together. I am in Columbus and don't mind traveling as long as it is not too far. As long a I know at least a week ahead of time I am flexable at work. I am lucky that I get to make my own schedule at work. Hugs, Lisa

Here goes. My DH and I have been married 36 years. He keeps me laughing all the time. 3 children and almost 6 grandchildren . I dont work anymore but I notice the portions more then anything I never count anything because it always makes me to nervous. I eat anything but very small amounts. I would love to have everyone here sometime. I live in Cincinnati and right next to a great park for a great walk and DH will grill for us.

1. My SO is my boyfriend James. He's great! We have been together for like 7 months, he's great with my kids and I'm very happy with him. 2.
