Oregondaisy

Last night at support group, they talked about this being a life style change and not a diet. That does not work for me. I have to tell myself I am on a diet or otherwise I think I can have just "one" of this or that. That starts a major binge. When I look at sugar and say to myself, "no you are on a diet" somehow that gives me more willpower. Today I was proud of myself. I found a bag of chocolates in one of the cupboards at work. I closed the cupboard immediately. I have been doing good this week and not eating sugar. It's best to just get it out of my system. I

I did ask the urologist about the yogurt. She said to make a douche out of it. She said I needed to get that good bacteria in there. I am hoping the vaginal estrogen cream will help all these things. She seems to think if I get it back to where it was before menopause, that will help everything.

I have had those too. Put a warm washcloth on it and maybe you can get it to drain on it's own. I think it can be like an ingrown hair. I really like astroglide as a lube. It's Water based.

Things are going well right now. We haven't had any more incidents of failure to communicate. We will have to see what happens the next time we have a disagreement. Luckily, we get along very well. I have only been mad at him 3 times in the last 4 months. The first two times we were able to talk about the problem. The last time, he kept saying he was in a bad mood from working on his mother's house and just told me to let it go. I told him it's hard to let it go when I don't understand what he was upset about. I still don't think it was his mother because it didn't make sense for him to act so cold to Me when he was mad at his mother. Do they know what is wrong with your bf yet? Tell him to ask his dr. what the dr. thinks about milk thistle. I would be interested to hear if he agrees with my dr.

Well, I was married at one point and my husband died at a young age. I was alone for quite a few years after that. After losing the weight, I met a great guy on match.com As far as having children go, my boss married someone ten years younger than her and had twins at the age of 50.

I would think that you should call the dr. about this. You are in menopause when you have gone one year without a period. I don't know what would cause you to have one after going so long without one.

okay, I'll bite. Do all women have a G spot? Or do some women have one but it's just not sensitive. I keep hearing about these fabulous G spot orgasms, but I don't seem to have any feeling other than in the clitoris.

The user Cp stands for control panel. It's right at the top of the screen on the left side. It will bring you to every thread you have posted on. The five day pouch test is where you do liquids for 2 days, then 2 days of mushy and one day of solid Protein like chicken breast. up at the right of this screen, there is a place to search. if you put in 5 day pouch test, you can probably read all about it. I will try to find it. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/

Your daughter's birthday is on Christmas? How sweet! Thank you for acknowledging my issue. I think it's pretty strange too. I guess I must have been using my esophagus as a stomach. I have a follow up dr. appt. then I will be able to ask how it's possible to be so tight and not even know it. I too thought when you're too tight, you pb in the day time and have trouble eating. The whole thing freaks me out.

I would not get another fill. Being too tight is dangerous. I was too tight and didn't even know it. I could eat anything I wanted. I didn't have trouble with any foods. I started throwing up in my sleep. When I had the test, the barium just sat in my esophagus for 15 min. My food must have stayed in there for hours. I never felt stuck though. I could have blown out my esophagus. I had to have 1cc removed. If you can get full on a chicken strip, you sound just right. Don't beat yourself up for eating wrong sometimes. That's why we all got banded. We have obsessive food problems. When I am stressed, I run to Baskin and Robbins or the Dairy Queen. I would not dare buy a half gallon of ice cream. I would eat the whole thing. I have no doubt about that.

That's probably why I hate Christmas. By the time it gets here, I am sick of it. I always say it should be like leap year, only once every four years. Then I could look forward to the year it got to be Christmas. I am wondering what the heck is Fifo too?

Alex is a genius.

I love stuffed cabbage. That is another thing I am too lazy to make. I miss my mom's good Greek cooking!

Wow, Missy, our band dates are close. How is your bf doing?

I will try the baby wipes. We don't use condoms. We tried using them to see if that improved the problem but it didn't seem to make any difference. I like astro glide too, if we need a lube. Most of the time anymore, we don't even need one. Oral sex is not the problem either. I know a lot of women really like it, but it's never done much for me. I am going to look for Northlands cranberry juice. I actually like cranberry juice. right now, the biggest problem is the yeast infections. The dr. gave me an antibiotic to use right before sex. So I don't get the uti, but get an immediate yeast infection. If I the 100% cranberry juice and the baby wipes worked, I wouldn't need the anitbiotic.

if you don't get an email, go to user cp and it should bring you right to any thread you have posted to. I was a slow loser too. It was very maddening. do a search on the 5 day pouch test. That should get things moving. Are you getting your exercise in? I am sure I would not have lost anything if I wasn't religious with my exercise.

That is hilarious!

Susan, Yeah, the 1 cc they took out seems to have cured my problem. I really would like to know how I could have been so tight and never had a single problem in the daytime. My boss bought a 6 1/2 foot Santa today to put on the porch of our office. Bah Humbug is right! I am a Christmas hater, so anyone who is also a scrooge is now my bestest friend. Maybe I will get more Christmas spirit now that I have a grandson.

mine is sweets. ice cream or brownies to be exact. As soon as I am in a bad mood over something, I want sweets. It's very hard to control.

That giant picture that covers the screen is very annoying. The picture is cute, but when you're in the middle of saying something, it covers the entire screen and you have to wait for it to disappear.

I can't sleep in either unless I take sleeping pills. I feel really lucky if I get to sleep until 8am. That pie sounds fabulous. I need to stay away from desserts , especially since I got my unfill.

I just ordered the cranberry pills that the dr. wanted me to order. Supposedly, they have more of whatever does the trick in them than any you can buy in the store. Believe it or not, using plain unsweetened yogurt with live bacteria works better than any of the over the counter medications I can buy for yeast. It puts the good bacteria back in there that the anti biotic wipes out. The yeast medicines in the store take a few days to work, but the yogurt works almost immediately. I would have never thought to do this, but I have spent a lot of time online researching this.

They say that hard cardio is the only way to lose belly fat.

We all felt that way in the beginning. It takes several fills to have good restriction. Just try to eat healthy until you get another fill. Do you want this to be moved to the general support section of the board? You will get more support there, and more suggestions from the newer people who are going through what you are going through.

oh yeah, it doesn't seem to matter which position. I am using vaginal estrogen cream. Both urologists seem to think my problem is from the skin thinning due to menopause. I have actually had this problem most of my life though. I got a lot of UTIs even as a little kid.
