Chicago luncheon?



Recommended Posts

I am in the south burbs and would love to get together with others in the area. I know this should be in the Illinois board but I think it would get more response here. Please let me know if you would be interested and I will see what I can set up. ~Mandy

I am free every weekend except the 9th 10th and 11th. I am getting a fill on the 9th and I have to do 1 day liquids, 1 day blended and 1 day mushies. Other than that I am open to dates and places. ~Mandy

North side here -- I'll be gone the last weekend of September. Maybe we should meet in the Loop so it'll be equally inconvenient for everyone!

I have family coming in town this weekend- and I know Mandy can't do the next weekend- How about the third weekend in Sept?

I may be able to do a week day depending on my work schedule...

Let's do it guys- I can't go to the Vegas bash and I'm so jealous- I want to meet some bandsters! Location doesn't matter- downtown, northside, burbs- I'm open- just give me an address- cause I have no sense of direction!!

Ok, so the 17th or 18th? Is that ok with everyone else? I am open for just about anywhere. Let me know what is good, maybe some of us southsiders can carpool? I drive a smallish station wagon and will gladly drive. ~Mandy

Ok..I hate to be the difficult one here, but I work weekends. I get off at 2:00 P.M.

I work in the loop (Water Tower area) so if we could arrange a late lunch in the loop somewhere that would be great. If not that is ok.

I could do the 18th anytime- does that work for everyone?

If not we can pick a different day...

Loop Restaurant suggestions?

I went on MetroMix- and read thru a few-

Gourmand Cafe- on 728 S. Dearborn is supposed to have some healthy, affordable options-

Russian Tea Time- sounds cool- again some healthy options-it's on 77 East Adams- and both of these are in the loop area and accessable to the red line/cabs.

Just a few thoughts- I'm totally open to different dates, locations, etc.

Can't wait to meet you guys!

Ok, late lunch or early dinner (3:30 or 4ish) in the loop on the 17th or 18th? That way we avoid the crowds and can have the place mostly to ourselves. I am up for just about anything, I just have to avoid mushrooms (allergy). I am not familiar with the loop area but have a GPS system and can find just about any place. Anyone have a opinion to either of these places? Gourmand Cafe-(healthy, affordable options) or Russian Tea Time (healthy options) ? If not anyone have any other suggestions? I am open to try new things. ~Mandy

      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
