Fill Today

Today I had a fill- just 3cc's. Ugh I was not ready for this one. It was my first fill at a new doctor, great office and wonderful staff. But today when she was feeling around for the port, i could have passed out. I think i was nervous and excited becasue every time i get a fill i seem to lose 15 lbs in a week. :thumbup:   But she pushed around and then stuck me- i broke out in a cold sweat- not good.

I am having a hard time getting more that 800 calories a day... I am just not hungry. I eat becasue I know I have to. I am also torn between drinking or eating. I love water, I love my dandelion tea, i love my Nectar Protein, i love my iced decaf americanos... but I always would rather drink than

Coffee Nuts!!!

Im am back (wearing my size 16 jeans!!!!).   I know that there are coffee nuts out there just like me who were devestated by the idea of no caffine, fear not my caffine loving bansters. I was recently at Starbucks getting my Iced Decaf Coffee and my friend got (my former drink) his Venti Americano. As I a made a comment on how I was jealous that he could have delicious amazing espresso, the wonderful life-saving barista (I am telling you all become friends with your local barista they will sa
