Hello,

I would love to join the outing, I am in the Elmhurst area. Is the Schaumburg area convenient for everyone? There are tons on choices there. Maybe we list out everyones locations and see where a convenient place would be. I am not too big on driving downtown though...

Thanks!

Schaumburg is just fine. How about the bar/resturant Ram? I have not been there, but another bandee referred this place to me. I work in this area, the resturants are endless in Schaumburg. Any other suggestions?

I love Ram!!! However, I am starting my liquid diet tomorrow...and dont think it would be great for me to go out to "eat" on it....I would definitely be up for a get together after my surgery, since I have the liquid diet up until then...sorry guys...

You are right, it is very hard to sit by and drink liquids. Maybe we can do one every six weeks. Once a month gets kind of hard for me personally. I remember that liquid diet well, it is pretty challenging but if you get some Isopure from GNC, the Protein will keep you full. Pure nectar also has this Peach nectar Protein that I mix with the orande crystal lite that is pretty good. I can bring some samples of some of the protein items I have. Now that I am on solids I don't rely on the drinks so much and have a little arsenal here at home.

Hello all,

RAM has a way to reserve tables online off the website so let me know which day is best for everyone and I will try to get this outing planned. We have been looking at Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. I prefer a lunch outing myself. What do you all think?

Hello folks,

I am hoping to get a day and time set for our first Chicago bandsters outing (I hope you don't mind my jumping in to get it organized) and so far it looks like the RAM restaraunt in Schaumburg (www.theram.com) and it looks like lunch on Sunday the 19th is working best though I have not heard from everybody. This restaraunt has an online reservation tool, so I am hoping everyone who would like to meet up will respond with so we can reserve a big table. I looked and the tables seat 8, I e-mailed to see if they set up for larger parties or maybe we can get two close together.

RSVP as soon as you can and for those who cannot make it we can start planning the next one too.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
