Hi . . I just found your post in the social group for Michigan Bandsters and it said you are from St. Charles . . I am from Brant!! I was banded 7/15/10 . . . how are you doing and where were you banded? Nice to be in touch with someone so close to home.

Hey there . ..how are things going? I hope you are having good days . .Rose

I really enjoyed your post today about trying to find something for work that would fit you. Made me laugh . . .that's always a good thing. Have a great weekend . ..I don't work Fridays, so I'm in weekend mode already!

Hi Janet,

I really liked your post from today. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. You're a great blogger and I always enjoy your posts. Rose

Hi! Haven't heard from you lately . . . how are you doing? How are things going? Wishing you well. Rose

Hi Debra, I'm looking for a little assistance if you don't mind. Your recipes are so great and I thought you might be able to help me . . .I don't like fish, so don't eat it. I can get down tuna if I "doll it up" enough. But my real struggle is chicken . . I used to love chicken of all kinds, since being banded, I find it too dry - no matter how I prepare it. I just can't seem to handle it. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!!

Hi Blondi, I am not going stir crazy at home yet . . . been keeping very busy - yikes what will I do on Monday when I go back to work (ha). I see the dietician at the doctor's office tomorrow and will advance my food plan. I'm now supposed to start doing the 3 meals a day only (and supplement with protein shakes if I get hungry) - I have lots of questions for her because I just don't see how to get 60 gm of protein in with just the 1/4 c of protein 3x/day . . .I've been getting in some pureed tuna, but can't get the chicken down, it is so dry when I puree it. I'm sure she'll have good advice. How are you doing since your fill?

Thanks for your friend request . . . I look forward to blogging with you . .. best wishes on your journey. Rose

Hi Janet, I was just checking out some of your pictures . . . you have come so far and you look fantastic - congratulations and keep up the good work!

Hi Lucky Dog, just checkin' in on ya . .. how are things going?

Hi Sandra, how are you doing? I hope you are having good days . . .

Hi Blondi, just checking to see how you are doing? I hope you are having good days . . .

Hi Blondi, how are you doing? We had a great weekend . . .more active than I had been since surgery and it did tucker me out, but felt good too. I am off work yet this week, so want to work on restoring my stamina so those four (10) hour days next week won't kick my hiney too bad! I read your post about getting rid of bigger size clothes - good for you! What a good feeling. Have a great week. Rose

my laptop died a couple of days ago, so was out of touch . . thanks for checking on me . . doing well. I am walking every day and eating all that i'm supposed to . saw my surgeon yesterday and he said everything looks good.

Love the new picture! Keep up the good work. You are such an inspiration. And thanks for your encouragement to keep walking through recovery . ..I am doing it.

Hey, you got your picture added - nice to see your face! I need to do that yet, but don't have a picture I am willing to share yet. :-)

Hi Bklynike, how are you doing? I haven't caught many posts from you lately . . . the last one I read looked like you were doing well. I am scheduled for surgery next Thursday - a week from today, wow! I went to my first support group meeting last night and it was very helpful. The dietician at my docs office is fairly new, but the people were great. Wishing you well. . . Rose

Thanks Blondi, and I agree - this is a very positive site. I enjoy the blogs more than the chat room . .. things get off target there quite a bit. But on these blogs, people just seem to encourage each other - it's great.
