Monday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois,

Well another Monday and it looks like another day of rain.  The busy weekend is behind me and now a busy week ahead.

I hope everyone is well and feeling good.  I go in for a fill in Wednesday so hopefully this will be the one.

Have a good day
Sheri

Hello everyone

I hate Mondays...is it Friday yet???

I have nothing going on this week but working, working and more working.  I feel like that's my whole life.

Sheri-  I hope this fill helps you.  I know how frustrating it can be waiting and waiting for the restriction to kick in.

I hope everyone had a nice day. 

 

 

 

Good Morning, Well. after a busy weekend, and a lovely wedding and reception, we got home around noon yesterday.

While in Springfield, we toured the Governor's   home, the Old State Capital and the Lincoln Museum. If you haven't been there, please try to make the trip. It is so worth it.

Our kids were with us, so it turned out to be a great family weekend.

This week will be busy, and then a trip to St. Louis for next weekend to take care of some family business. After that, back to normal, until the next family crisis.

And how was your weekend?

Hugs.

Good morning IL!  Sheri, hope your fill is a good one!  Chrystal...Monday again...hope you week goes ok!  Lisa, sounds like you had a wonderful weekend.  I need to get to the Lincoln Museum.  I've heard lots of good things.  Maybe next summer.  And,that's the Governors Mansion that the Governor ACTUALLY lives in right!  (sorry, a Blago slam...LOL)

I started my 2 week pre op diet...time is closing in FAST!  Omar, if you're out there....that first choc. ATkins shake was not that tasty, but I'll survive.  I've had other types of shakes I like A LOT better!  LOL.  This will be a good test, huh?  Have to admit, I feel a little doze coming on.  I ususally get a 32 oz of diet coke or iced tea in the am...I WILL miss that.  Decided now is the time to just kick the diet coke habit, so no fizzy stuff for me.

EVeryone have a good day.  georgie

Hi Georgie,

So far I have tried the Strawberry, Milk Chocolate and Vanilla with no real taste winners. What I finally figured out about these shakes is that they seem to go down smoother for me if they are really chilled. I made the mistake in the beginning of taking one out of the fridge and letting it get warm. That is just a very bad for my belly. Fourteen shakes to go..

On a side note,

I placed an order on Amazon for Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate, according to a few reviews it is supposdely one of the better tasting ones out there. I am crossing my fingers that it is because otherwise I will be in the market for another protein after surgery. I will give you a review if you are interested.

Thanks
Omar

Keep me posted on all of your taste tests!  I'll do the same.  I can definitely see that these ATkins guys have to be COLD to drink.  I'm thinking I might try to ice one up in my magic bullet and see if the thicker consistency does anything for it.  I might try to throw some sugar free jello/or sf jello pudding as a flavor in the vanilla and do the same thing.  thanks, Omar.  Hang in there

Hi Georgie,
I hope this fill is a good one also.  I am tired of fighting this.  I wanted to let you know you can kick the diet coke habit.  I have not had any pop since July of 2008.  The only time I miss it is when I am holding one for someone.  Otherwise tea works for me.

Talk to you later
Sheri

Hi Sheri,

Think I'm having caffeine withdrawal headaches!  If I could get to the point of tea, I'll be happy!  Can't have caffeine for awhile, so need to get some C/Free tea bags.  Stopped at Sams/Joliet last week, but they didn't have them.  thanks . georgie

Yep Georgie, he has a 7 room apartment in the building, for private life, but uses the whole thing for different affairs.

Good morning,

Back at work and I really hate Mondays. Something about getting up at 4:20am and then jumping in a car for an hour ride to work just makes me go bananas on Monday. I just keep telling myself, "4 more days of work". but then the thought of being layed up in a hospitol bed for 3 days snaps it all back into perspective. I know everything will turn out fine but man oh man do i HATE Mondays.

Thanks
Omar
