#MagicWithinme

At a new management job years ago, I inherited a secretary I mentally thought of a Elizabeth the Snake. I even had a small rubber snake in my pencil drawer to remind me to not trust her or believe anything she said.

I'll let you know when I get a rubber snake, Miss Mac !

lol that's really funny. I think it is my first out loud laugh all day

You know your losing weight in your feet when yon fit in your grand baby's socks lol , thanks I needed a good laugh.

I laughed too,, and yes I suppose that is an NSV!!

You just smile real big feel good and say Thank you, and say I am working hard at it, and I a choosing to be healthy .

I went to mine on Mon. And he said wow you have lost more weight..Looking good...He is the one who first mentioned WLS to me. He had other clients who had it done with great results...I smile and hug him for helping to save my life...We are friends!

I know man times, people do not think of a chiropractor as doctors (many insurances don't) but I can say mine has been most helpful!

Butterfly Effect...God bless you and prayers sweetie!!! Stay Strong!!!

Thank you

Congrats

I drink from a water fountain at work I try to drink (2) 32 oz during my work day...but I love lots of ice too...so those bottles don't really work for ice.

Mikee57, I was thinking more along the lines of the minerals n stuff..

the one we have at work is filtered so think that takes most of them out...I use a Purr Filter at home too

why? what happened?

not to be graphic, Poop happened ! I must of been constipated and not realized how bad, the fiber bars, Luna took a few hours to work, but once it did, what a sense of relief, sometimes it seems its too much to remember the dos and don'ts , the remembers and don't forgets.

No Ice cream for you young lady , I wander if non fat frozen yogurt would make your bp go up, just a thought , since you know ice cream does , and good for you 5lbs is 5 ore u no longer have , I know soe food just bring on the hot flashes for me.

good for you, glad the news is good.

I can only blame myself, really.. and as I track the food I've eaten, again, I do see the pattern (yes after all this time) of what I eat affects me physically. Sugar right now is the number 1 problem, because my body has been without it for so long, it is not liking it anymore, no matter what my tastebuds say!

It is so ingrained in us isn't it...And we have been taught that it brings happiness....To figure out that it does not is the hardest part I think...You got this !

Ha..so true.

my bp had gotten up to 165/90.... doctor going to be pleased.

Very good at least it is going down and seems to be normal , let it stays that way.

love zumba!! nice numbers!

Walk it and dance it out girl.

and even she said because he got better?? I wish I could sue for mental anguish.

you need a case worker from your insurance so you don't have to deal with all that

that a hospital stay was not warranted. His face and arm were numb, had he gone to the dr, the dr. would have sent him to ER anyways... I've called the insurance and the hospital, waiting for calls, and will be taking to my insurance person as well!.. I never cried during any of this. this is what will... ughgh.

you can fit it, appeal it, file a grievance... if the hospital said he was to stay; who are you to tell him he shouldn't??? They need more medical documentation to show he needed to stay... stay calm... take a deep breath... it will work out!

Of course appeal it.. It does not make sense ...good luck.

lol

hmm the cheese isn't setting too well.. adding to list of not now

same here... it's lovely isn't it?

I don't think I could have done it without him. I didn't find out till months later how scared he was for me, my health, my choices, but because he loved me so much, he stood by me and when I made the choice to get the lap band, he was there holding my hand.. And today he has a totally hot wife,

Same here.. Aren't we lucky.

it was funny...

hadnt had soup in 20 months due to pre/post op all liquids..but that veggie sound delish GF

It's easier said than done some days....gets the better of me lately too...just taking one day at a time...hang in there...you will get past it!

I know right? Chasingadream? I love this site, I can vent and everyone knows exacting what I'm talking about!

thanks Carolinagirl, I have gone to my drs, my lapband dr, my cardiologist and my regular dr and they all say they can't find anything. Today I talked to my personal trainer and he suggested to watch my bites, and eat soft soft foods and she what happens, and no meat. watch the processed foods, so far so good

Try soft proteins...cottage cheese, cheese stick, milk, Greek yogurt. Etc. And see if this helps till your body can handle other proteins. If your symptoms does not improve., go see your dr that performed the surgery.

thanks Carlotta!, everything I've eaten since yesterday has been soft, eggs, apples sauce, broth, yogurt, has helped a lot.. and chewing, everything extra fine, I can tell when I go to the bathroom, theres a difference will keep everyone updated..

Debbi#sons, I'm between Fresno and Bakersfield.

I've taken so much allergy meds its making me sicker, took only my zyrtec today, we'll see how I am at end of day, drinking pineapple juice trying to get regular again.
