  5. Well i do like to drink socially but I've been afraid to try it because I'm about 10 weeks out now. So I tried it on Friday. I had a glass of moscato (sweet dessert wine) and boy was that enough. I was basically drunk. Lol. Like do not operate any vehicles, the stumbles, the giggles, blabbering. Lol so yeah be very careful. I was at home with my bf so it was okay. But if you're out and driving make sure you find a sober driver.
  6. pumpkin seeds, pistachios, carrots and cucumbers, fruit
  7. I started at 5'4, 288, march 15 wearing a snug size 24. Last Thursday I was at 246.5lbs. Like -41.5 lbs and down to a loose size 20!! Congrats on your date.
  8. I've been having a hard time financially since I'm paying for a a cobra extension insurance. My love's bday is Wednesday. I have about $100. He's been wanting these Jordan's that I know he would never buy for himself. But since they're so costly I wouldn't be able to do anything else. I'm debating this because I feel that this is lacking creativity. So another idea I have was to get him a massage at a student salon, take him or make him dinner, then maybe getting a room and perhaps something sexy to wear? I need help or opinions.
  9. Lol see i think I'm becoming delusional lol you two are correct. It is the only thing I can have lol it's ibprofin (sp?) that we can't have. Duh.
  10. Well I'm down 41.5 lbs. I was sleeved on 3/15 and started at 288. I weighed myself yesterday and I was down 41.5. Awesome.
  11. So, I have a sore throat, a small cough, phlegm with a lil blood, runny nose, and now I feel like I have a fever. What do I take to reduce my fever, since I'm not allowed to take tylenol. Or was that only for a little bit
  12. Omg. Everything gives me heartburn! I was only given prevacid for a month and even then I would suffer heartburn a bit. Now that I'm off I constantly have hb. So annoying. Any suggestions? I took a pill just now that a friend gave to me (Prevacid) I ate a bite of banana. Drank water. Idk what else to do
  13. March 15. I'm down 32 lbs. started at 288
  14. Yes i use Splenda in a large glass with lots of ice so it gets really watered down.
  15. So hopefully this isn't bad. I'm Mexican American and during the summer months I make "aguas frescas." they are natural ripen fruit blended with water a little ice and sugar, I used Splenda. I made one today of watermelon/sandia. I know they say not to eat watermelon but I thought this was a good way to higher my fluid intake.
