Sunday Roll Call. Oh baby it's cold

Good afternoon everyone, We went out last night to see a play at our daughters school.  The kids did a great job of "Singing In The Rain".   Afterwards, we went for something to eat.  We tried a couple of different places for soup for me, but everyone was out.  Dh wanted sliders, so I ate a double.  It was the easiest thing to go down all week.  I am back to pureeing my food and I'm still having some problems.  I do not want to go back to liquids.  I am ready to just get some protein bars (no problem w/them) and just live on those for a while.  I did toast and egg this morning and felt the food just hit my stomach w/ a bang.  I dont' know whats going on. I don't know the temperature out today, but I really do need to move.  I desperatly need the vitamin store and I told my daughter that I would take her to look for a turnabout dress.  I also want to get some beans to make soup for the week.  Somewhere on here I saw a recipe for black bean soup that I want to try.   All in all it has been a pretty good week for us.... Kim, again congratualtions on your approval.  I'm still praying for your dad. It sounds like Dave is going to be blessed with a great job. Janets wow moment by getting into a booth again. Karen is a skinny minnie in the 200's.  saying a prayer for your grandsons surgery. Meashas big day is tomorrow. Wishing you the best and praying for your speedy recovery. and... We all survived the big snow!!! Happy Sunday Everyone, ~Michelle

Hi everyone, I just got back  from the hospital.  Has anyone heard from Shelly in awhile?  The hospital my dad got transfered to is in Sycamore and I know she lives there.  Also she had the band surgery, so I was thinking about getting in touch w/ her.  My education class on Saturday went good.  I met some nice people and learned alot.  I am getting so excited about everything!!  One thing the nutritionist said was that there is a good book out that has reciepes for after weight loss surgery.  I told everyone at the class about this website, because I truely feel it has kept me afloat when I was real upset and all my questions that I have ever had has been ansewered!!  Next app is Thurs.  I have an ultrasound.  They said that it takes about 5 min.  I hope everyone had a good day and stayed warm.

Shelly works at Provena Mercy hospital in Aurora where Dr Rosen was doing WLS, though now he is at Good Sam in Downers. Maybe Christina or Amanda saw her at support group last week. Here is the link to her profile page so you can send a PM to her http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/rnshell2001/  Chris

Hello Everyone!!! Well, not much going on here in Waukegan.  It was truly a cold one, and hey did ya all hear there is more snow coming tomorrow.  I am wanting the warmer weather to arrive along with the sun.   I stepped on the scale friday, which was six weeks since surgery and I am down 29 lbs.  I have been eating normal foods with no problem, with some minor exceptions.  I have found that I no longer like the taste of a bake potatoe with butter and sour cream.  I am not able to tolerate eating left over meats, it sits like a lead weight in my pouch and I get sick.  The last few days, I have felt really sluggish, and that I could sleep all day.  I am debating on wether I should go to my PCM and have him draw labs to check to see if I am anemic or if I need to take more vitamins. I got a B- in my Economics class, and I am starting week 3 of 5 in  my Financial Accounting class.  I have only 7 classes left and until I graduate.  So, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Kim and Monica, I hope that I will get to see you on Saturday the 16th, as I am planning on going to support group that follows those classes that Dr. Crane does. Janet, that baby Lincoln is a total doll!!!!!  Michelle, now that my work schedule is starting to get back to normal, we will need to meet at the mall and do some walking and window shopping. Everyone else, please stay warm.
