Hey Jim,
Have fun traversing the Cheddar curtain and enjoy Heart! I'm not sure if you have extra time in Mil-a-walk-A but I love the art museum. If you decide to go, I believe I have guest passes from being a member. You are welcome to them; just shoot me a text.

Good morning all and Happy Tuesday,
Today is a good day to be alive. It's the only time in our lives that we get to experience the day. Why not take full advantage and be present at every turn?
QOTD- My favorite flavor is also chocolate and peanut butter. Blue Moon will always have a place in my heart.
Accountability: 2 hostess cupcakes. I'm get frustrated with my decision making but can't seem to change it. I eat well all day just to blow it with 500 calories late night or even middle of the night.
Steps: 3762
On a positive note, I started yoga and regularly going to the gym again(3x/wk).
B: Dannon Light and Fit yogurt, coffee.
L: steak sandwich.
D: steak taco in a bowl.
A little advice: Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.

Good morning, everybody!
I slept for almost 9 hours last night. I guess the race is catching up to me a bit. My legs are a bit sore today, but nothing too bad. One of our sons asked for chili, so Marilyn is making a bunch in the slow cooker. That should keep us fed for a couple of days.
Tomorrow, we are heading up to Milwaukee to see Heart. I've never seen them play before, so I'm pretty excited. We were planning to see them last summer in Toronto, but they cancelled because Ann Wilson was undergoing chemotherapy. The concert is at 8:00 and Milwaukee is almost a 2 hour drive, so it will be a long evening. We will probably head up at about 4:00 and have dinner before the show.
QOTD: I will dump pretty fast on Ice Cream, so I need to approach it with caution. I'm with Kelly on the Mint Chip train though. Sometimes we eat those fake ice cream cones, Drumsticks, with chocolate chips that they sell in the freezer. The kind that don't melt. I can eat those without dumping. Probably because they aren't real.
Breakfast: Yogurt Parfait
Lunch: Bratwurst
Dinner: chili
Have a great day, all!

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question. It does make sense what you are saying. I will probably schedule an appointment with my bariatric doctor to get things checked out.

Good mornin y'all.
Not much happening today. Yesterday was pretty decent for the most part. We got a lot done around the house that has been needing done.
We might go to Sam's but that might be tomorrow. I'm feeling a little rough around the edges. Mostly digestive issues. The iron supplement is still throwing me for a loop. I just hope it'll drive up my levels like intended.
QOTD: my all time favorite was a Godiva white chocolate raspberry. They don't have it here anymore. I do like the talenti brand but don't have a favorite per se. Ice cream isn't always my thing anymore. Haven't had official stuff in years.
B: small yogurt bar and a special k crisp
L: andouille sausage and some green beans
D: chicken breast, lightly coated cooked in the oven
Good Morning! We are having some warm weather here and it's supposed to be close to 90 degrees the next few days but maybe a cool down for the weekend. My employee is supposed to be back today after just over two weeks of being out for bereavement. We are glad to have her back and of course we will continue to support her but it'll be nice to get back to my normal tasks.
QOTD: I loved a good rocky road with bananas and some whipped cream. I also like mint chip
TSS: 10 years 7 months
B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, oikos yogurt and some fruit
S: A piece of fruit and yogurt
D: Zucchini noodles, meat sauce with meatballs, a banana, and 2 mini York peppermint patties
ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast
E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 2 miles on treadmill
V/W: On track
Totals: Cals:1425 Protein:117 Carbs: 130 Fat:56
Have a great day!
I would think maybe a stabbing type pain or could be a pulling type pain especially if scar tissue has developed.
When I had my lap band before I revised to the bypass I would get a pulling type pain where my port was and it was because it had been encased in scar tissue that attached itself to a muscle and when I moved it would pull on it. Not sure if that makes sense or not.
You could have an ulcer which is pretty common in bypass patients and it is like a burning pain.
Good Morning Gang. The weather yesterday was pretty crappy, chilly and rainy. Today is supposed to be sunny and 50. Irvin got two outside rabbit cages almost done. He just has to put the doors on. They came out pretty nice and we are going to Dartmouth, MA Saturday morning to hopefully pickup two stainless steel rabbit cages so we have extras for when we breed the rabbits in a couple of months.
It was funny when I got home I noticed a notebook on the kitchen table with things written down on it. Then realized that Irvin had made a list of things he wants to get done this year. He must have seen my list from the weekend and how much of it was crossed off. LOL
QOTD: What's your favorite Ice Cream flavor? Haagen Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter hands down. There is something about the creaminess of the chocolate and the peanut butter is real no fake crap.
B: coffee and bacon and egg wrap
L: corned beef and butternut squash
D: turkey and mashed potatoes
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!
Having fun is more important than the time stamp in my opinion.
