good thursday morning

Good morning California....not much going on here.  Just another day of work and one day closer to Friday.  I'll be glad when this week is over.

Everyone have a great day and remember, do something wonderful for yourself.

Good Morning to all!

Not much going on with me. I am walking, and sipping. Getting quite tired of bland broth, lol.. I have my first follow-up on the 19th of August. The surgeon also said I could start soft food on Monday, yay! I am fighting head hunger over actual hunger and so far I am winning!
I hope everyone has a great day. I will be keeping Miss Diane in my thoughts and prayers, but I can feel that everything will go fine today.

Hugs, love, & friendship always,

Good morning all...Have a great day!.....Thank god it's Thursday!

Lisa, yes, i was wondering too, what kind of revision surgery?

Praying for Diane right now...Lord bless her surgery and her recovery!!

More construction here today for me... i'm praying for it all to be finished SOON... i'm ready to take a shower in the dang thing... let's get 'er DONE! :)

drinking my coffee and protein concoction and loving it....

have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Lisa and Cali Friends,

Wow, can you believe we're supposed to get rain today?  UGH, what happened to summer?  I think they're wrong, around here we call them the weather guessers!

Saying prayers for Diane and our other "losers" have uneventful surgeries and very speedy recoveries.

Wishing Queen Misty, aka Energizer Bunny aka Rhonda, a super birthday month.  I remind Ron every May that it's my birthday month!  LOL!  Great minds think alike.

Today brings more job searching and I will be calling back the one job who called me for the phone interview, we played phone tag yesterday, so please think good thoughts mid morning!  It isn't my first choice due to the commute across the bay to Marin Co. but it's a job and I must be thankful for that. 

I will also be delivering peaches to the neighbors!  We've got so many.  Eileen, Rachel, Lisa and Janel, I know you live close by, if you want peaches PM me!  LOL  I realize it's a bit of a drive for my so cal friends, but heck, I grow good peaches so PM me too!  LOL

I hope everyone has a great day.

Hugs,
Barb 

Hey GF!
I'm not that far away....I'll take some if you'll offer LOL  Lon loves peaches...makes pies and everything with them. (no, I don't partake...even made with Splenda)  Besides, that will give me an excuse to come see you!
Hugs
Nancy aka Sunray aka the 'begger' ;-)

Come on down you guys!  Love to see you!  You can even pick them right off the tree!

You and I can forget the pies but man they're good eaten fresh

Hugs,
Barb

Good morning Cali peeps,

Just enjoying this Thursday morning and hope you all are doing the same.  I started my pre-op liquid diet today so that means I am 2 weeks away from surgery.

Lori if you don't mind sharing what is your coffee/protein concoction, I am a true coffee drinker so I would love to hear suggestions.

Have a blessed day,
Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,

I'm not sure what Lori's concoction is but when I do it I pour my coffee in a non breakable mug, put in a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder (you can also use unflavored protein if you like or any flavor you may have) and using an immersion blender, blend it until the protein disolves.  It takes a bit to get it dissolved though.  If you don't have an immersion blender then just use a regular blender.

Once it's combined, taste it and then add in whatever else you want ie SF flavors, splenda, coffee mate or milk, whatever floats your boat.

Just don't take too long to drink it though, because the protein will break down in the hot coffee after about 30 - 45 minutes and lose it's effectivness. 

Additionally I purchase Capuccino protein drinks online which are really good too.  I get them at www.ishophere.biz and it is the Diet, Health & Sports Nutrition products.  I use alot of their protein products.  They are really good.  I like them better than alot of what I can find locally.  They are soy protein and not whey protein and I prefer soy because that is what my doctor had all his patients on after surgery, they taste better and I found them easier on my pouch then whey.  Just a tidbit of information for you. 

Stephanie.

Good Morning Cali,

Not a lot going on with me today.  Tonight, I plan on going to my local Stitch n' ***** at Farmer's Market.  Hopefully, I will finish the body of the latest cardigan that I am working on.  After that, the only thing left for me to do is the sleeves and then the front bands.  With a little diligence, I can finish this baby by tomorrow night, and then I will be able to wear it Saturday morning.  Yay!

More love and peace,
Kim
