I have a z pack too. The pills split very nicely and I was able to take both of them though I waited about 2 minutes in between each piece. I don't ever get sick so this really does suck for me. I am trying really hard to get my water in today. I want to get the exercise in too I think that might be pushing it.

Bronchitis it is. Ugh. Pilates has nothing on this coughing ab workout.

Congrats girl!!!!!!

Well the doctor says it is brochitis....yuck. The only good thing is now I am on some prescription meds to make it feel better and I have an inhaler which makes a world of difference. I just want this coughing to stop. My tummy is dying from the workout it is getting. And I am happy to report that I did get the antibiotic down though I had to split the pills in half to take them.

Lapbandit you look amazing!

Teacher I think I have the same thing you do. My sinus allergy part has gotten better but the coughing...oh my lord you can take it and throw it away. I would take the sinus part back in a second if I knew I would never have to cough again.

Does coughing count as an exercise? I think I have had some aerobic coughing going on over here. I feel like I am dying. My stomach muscles hurt so bad every time I cough and I get into these huge coughing fits that I can't stop. Ohhh it hurts so bad.

Yeah I was not feeling any restriction so I just kept making appointments. My doctor is very good about accomodating his patients needs and believe me I needed those fills!

I had my band done by Dr. Bacal at Oakwood in Dearborn. I had an excellent experience from start to finish. Terri, the bariatric coordinator there is awesome. She is so helpful in answering any questions and getting you through the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They have a monthly seminar with people who are interested in the surgery. Here is the link to their website. http://www.oakwood.org/?id=170&sid=1

Diddi you are doing a great job translating. And people can I just say holy friggin restriction??? I got my 4th fill yesterday to a total of 2.0cc (1 was at 1.5 before that). Now I really know what restriction feels like. I am so darn full. I had a yogurt for breakfast and could only finish 3/4 of it. Lunch and dinner were probably a little more than 1/2 cup of food and I was stuffed after both of them.

Happy Easter everyone!!!!

Thanks guys I am just so freakin excited. I did manage to find a pair of pants from about 5 years ago that fit and a shirt that used to be very tight and is now probably a size too big. I just have to remember to start checking these things sooner than the night before!

My first really big NSV. I have nothing nice to wear to church tomorrow because it is all too BIG. I usually spend an hour every holiday crying because everything is so tight and looks terrible and now I am going to spend an hour crying because I am so damn happy and I cannot believe it.

Just go to www.tickerfactory.com and follow the instructions.

Well it is the end of the day and I got the exercise in just in time. I am bound and determined to figurre out how to do that damn core rhythms dvd. Today was a bit easier but still nothing I would ever do in public. Though at work today I did find when I was standing at some racks counting things that I was swinging my hips trying to practice! lol

I am dealing with a lot of sadness and anger with food. When I am full and can't finish what I wanted to eat I get seriously pissed off. I feel so mad and angry and I can't even explain why. It is almost every other day, it just seems like I want to sabotage myself and then I get even more frustrated that I can't do it.

Suzanne I had three weeks were my scale either did not move or I only lost a pound. Then the next week I took off 4 pounds and took off 3 more on the week following that. Well I got my Water in today....now just the exercise.

I know!!!! The weather is horrible and driving me bonkers!

Well I think there is a plastic surgeon coming this month. Now I only ahve to figure out how to get some free plastic surgery lol.

Dang Suzanne you were on it today. They extra session does not really count toward the 20 but make another column for extra workouts and list it there! Be proud girl!

Congrats girl!!!!! I can't waitto make it there myself.

Molly those KFC bowls were one of my favorite things in the world preband. Now I actually make them at home myself so I can make it smaller and a bit healthier. I buy some frozen popcorn chicken, low fat cheese, mashed potatoes and some chicken gravy. I am not a big fan of the corn but I am telling you it is sooooo good. Even my my hubby likes it and he is super picky. In fact it is one of his favorite meals that I make.

Darn it I still don't know who you are yet =). Guess I will have to find out at the next meeting.

Well let me first start out by saying that if I had just video taped my workout I would be about $10,000 richer. My Mom bought that Core Rhythms video and lets just say it was probably the most hilarious thing to see me dancing to it. But it was fun. My daughter and I were jammin lol. One thing though...totally not nearly as easy as they make it look and the infomercial. Fun...yes but only in the privacy of your own home while everyone is asleep!
