THIS MESSAGE BOARD IS NOT TOO ACTIVE LATELY......

Good Morning to all Rhode Island/Mass. wls members, It's awfully quiet in here lately. Whats going on with everyone. Havent heard from Teri or Kristen especially. Teri how are you doing ....what are you eating? You were having some food issues now and then, please tell us how you are making out, as you were one of the first ones in the group to have wls. Of course everyone in here should keep all of us posted on their journey...I am trying some different foods now that I am 4 weeks out and having some issues with new foods. I am also stuck on the scale. I havent lost any lbs in a couple of days. I am 28 lbs down since my surgery on May 17. I am having a very hard time with protein and getting my liquids especially water in. I just can't do it. Not enough hours in the waking day to take everything in. I did try some chicken salad and it stayed down. Of course I chewed and chewed. I was very surprised that the chicken stayed down because many people have trouble with chicken. I am dying to have some roasted chicken...mmmmm with crans sauce and peas..but I am not daring enough yet. Is anyone having a cookout for Father's day this Sunday? I know I am going to Westerly to my son's inlaws and I know Claudia is going to a cookout too for her Dad. The thing is what to bring to eat if we can't eat what on the bbq and still feel like we are part of the group. So peeps...please post on here......inquiring minds want to know... Carol

Hi Carol, been busy doing spring cleaning and noticed the board has been pretty quiet lately also. My husband and I have a 30th wedding anniversary to dj on Sunday so we will be busy. I am just waiting for my sleep study and I will be on my way!! Shannon

Yes, It is too quiet. I check it everyday now and would love to see everyone posting. I am just waiting for August 3. I am having lots of stress at my job and I want to go out on disability. I have been thinking of going out a few weeks before surgery but I guess it would be best for me to wait until surgery. I have a doctor that would approve a stress leave. I hate my job and after I lose some weight I plan to find something that suits me better. I have a desk job and right now I need that. Betz

Hi Carol: I have been doing well! I have been getting in all my protein and water and feel great besides being tired sometimes. I can't wait to have chicken salad! I have not been sick or even naucuios yet. We had a cookout yesterday for fathers day, and it was not hard for me to see the food, I enjoy what I eat bye for now!!!! Kristin

Kristin, I am so happy for you that you are doing so well. Keep up the great work. Claudia
