instantaenous PB
Lisa, when I feel a PB coming on, I DO NOT drink, it will just be worse, slime then up-chuck. The best thing for me is to try and keep it down. Waving my arms around in circles, walking around seems to help. Sharon's discription is pretty funny....Tricia, cute art

Anal Odor
I do wish you the best Corliss! I would get an upper GI/flouro and see exactly what form your stomach is in. Try to get into Radioalogy with a burium swallow for starters and get copies of the films for a doctor... Better yet, go see a bariatric surgeon. I am aware of one person with "odor" who had the duo-switch.

GROSSEST Pig Out Combo of Food
I was the last of 14 kids, my sister's told me sour cream was ice cream. I would eat it out of the container, the whole thing. They also did stuff like hold my hand in water while I was sleeping to see if i'd go pee. I still love them

GROSSEST Pig Out Combo of Food

Parent teacher conferance
First of all Congratulations, It’s a very hard decision to put children on drugs. I believe I had or even still have some form of ADD. I know I could have done better in school if I possibly had been treated. I also have a 2nd grader, Roxanne and even thou she’s an excellent student, as parents were noticing some dyslexia with numbers, it’s very minor, but were aware. Donali, I appreciate your views of Love and Pleasing. I try to show equal unconditional love to both my children. Even with a 3 year old boy who is very loving. We, (SO) and I try to promote a strong emotional foundation “big boys can cry”. It creates an open relationship. My SO is one of the most open, emotional people I know. He has deep feelings that I’ve never seen in any man before. Having children has taught me alot, I think back how I was raised, and there's no comparision.

Restriction Gone?
What Teresa Said!!! Personally Bright, When I want to feel restriction, I'll eat a piece of chicken, steak, or dry tuna. those types of food have a hard time going down, they fill me up and even give me hiccups. When I feel the food that's how I register my restriction. Egg salad, tuna salad or anything smothered with dressing, mayo, or ketchup is like a lubricant and go's down easier for me. Breads are strange, I don't handle pizza dough or soft bread very well, but I can eat french bread and cake without any trouble. I try to avoid starches just because of carb/calorie intake. I bet you wish you had a fill doctor closer to you, just for a tweak. How bout a fill while your in NY/NJ...

US airport or Mexican airport?
Buss from San Antonio to Monterrey is 6 hours (I don't know personaly, I met Lynn in Mont. from San Ant) Flight into Monterrey is very beautiful. I know for a fact Dr. Sanchez has a personal driver to pick you up from the airport or the buss station. He'll, Sergio will hold up a sign with your name just past customs. Do give him a tip. Sergio will take you everywhere you need to go. Garza Garcia(where all the hospitals are) is about 40 minutes across town from the airport.

Alice, I've been thinking about you. Thanks for the update, Your going back in December? Do you want a room-mate? I'm seriously thinking about having my eyes done. How many days were you there? Why didn't you get a fill before you left Monterrey, it's only 118.00 under flouro with Dr. Suesana. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Sure I try to eat Iron enriched foods...I know I don't get enough. Any suggestions? Not really a hyjack..... You do look great! I remember her saying "I rather be poor and beautiful than rich and fat"

My Port's a pain in the a$$
Went fishing today, pulled out a largemouth bass in the lake off my back yard. I also was able to lie on my tummy for the first time while Billy gave me a back rub. Now that's my kind of day. Denise, I had a hole in my tubing. Last week I had it fixed. To get to the tubing they had to pull out my port, fix the tubing then put the port back in. I still have the same port. Fish on
