Omaha Jim

Hi Jim. Thanks for the message. It's nice to know I was missed! My laptop died on me and despite getting every computer-techy type guy we know to look at it, it hasn't been able to be revived. I ended up ordering a new keyboard for my old one on ebay, which has thankfully now arrived and been fitted - so I'm back online, albeit on a much slower machine. It's gonna take me forever to catch up on everything I've missed! I hope all's well with you, will check out your blog as part of my catch-up. Lis x

Thank you sir. You're lookin' pretty spiffy yourself, Jim.

New Avatar! Looks like Olin Mills caught you...

Looking gooood Jim... I'm sooo proud of you!

Aww Bless you Jim - you are a sweetie! Bet yours is more smokin' than mine if you'd just put up a new one ;o)

Yeah! Maui sounds like fun!!! I will have to look at flights, it would probably be a Sat. or Sun. for me! Whooohooo!! You guys just coming over for vacation? Should get Joe to come over too! We could have a Hawaii get together.

Welcome home to you and the Mrs'.

Hi Jim,

I read on SWMBO blog, that your dear wife has a favourite food...Taco John's Refried Beans. Would you mind telling me what kind of beans they are? Are they solely American I wonder as I have never heard of such a bean?

I am due to have my bypass this summer (have been holding my breath about pending op - so so scared) anyway, back to the beans...I love beans, therefore I feel I need to research different protein foods and find out what is gonna be available to me.

I have read on various sites that post op patients find it difficult to eat meat? Is this due to texture? Also, bread is difficult to eat? Which would be a good thing in my case, I love all carbs, not bothered by meat/fish, also love fast food and all chocolates and cake...hence the huge weight. I am praying I get this 'dumping syndrome' thingy.

If the Taco John Refried Beans are difficult to purchase, is there an alternative equally good in protein and low in cals? Sorry if I am picking your brains.

Thanx a lot

Cheryl

Hej Jim!
Thank you for your Visitor Message! April is indeed on a flying carpet!, May and June will be the same!
The electricity is nearly complete - another two days at the beginning of May, whilst the kitchen will be installed (3 weeks).
Am awaiting quotes for installing 3 shower rooms... And the pleasure of chosing 3 showers, 3 LOOs! and 3 washbasins, tiles, heated towel rails, mirrors, cabinets, lights... Yahoo!
Off my plateau now which feels great - will start the 5 day pouch test on Monday as prompted by Cinerbelle (Cindy). (See under Groups!).
Hope you yourself are doing well! Isn't it fun to have a dog around you when you come home?
Keep well and hopefully indeed we can talk soon! Family here is in golf competition mode so mind in another gear!
'til soon!
Hugs
