  1. So, do Any of you get Diarrhea often? I had been doing pretty well with regular bowels but today I've had diarrhea all day. It's so gross. What causes this?
  2.    startingmyjourney reacted to a post in a topic: Alcohol Drings
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Yes i use Splenda in a large glass with lots of ice so it gets really watered down.
  9. 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.
  10. Thanks cherry bomb. I think do as well. I mean. They need lots of things, even pots and pans etc etc
  11. Yeah, I could see it being inappropriate it they just had a wedding and they received all these gifts and then they're registering for this too. Thank you for your response, I'm going to see what other people will say as well.
  12. My BF and i are really close to another couple who just recently got their first home! We are super excited for them. They are married (through the court) never had a wedding or a reception for that matter. I am planning on helping her have a housewarming party, casual but fun. I keep reading online that it is rude to register for gifts because of all these etiquette rules. However I think their circumstances are different because they never had wedding where a person would usually register, etc. etc. What do you ladies think? Should they register since they really are newlyweds with not much? I really think most people would love to help them start this part of their lives.
  13. Ummm drinkable yougurt, string cheese... What would be best is to prepackage your meals or snacks. Put them in a lunch bag and take it with you.
  14. I do enjoy breakfast. I'm always stuck as to what to eat. I'm tired of cheese omelette. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm at the drs office with my sister while she has a procedure done so my brother in law is like let's go get breakfast. But I'm like what the heck am I going to order???? Any suggestions?!
  15. Feeling faint in the shower. Im 5 weeks out and today while taking a pretty long shower, washing hair, shaving, etc. I felt very dizzy light headed. I had breakfast and lunch donuts not that. Now I'm a little shaky. Weird.
  16. Well today I was so excited and fulfilled when I ate! I had beef soup not stew. It was absolutely delicious. Boil beef short ribs with salt and chunks of onion two cloves of garlic let boil for about 45-60 min Add in potatoe, carrots, zucchini, and tomatoes, ( cabbage if you like) Make sure it has enough flavor or add in more salt or garlic salt and cilantro Let it boil and serve. Obviously I only had a bit or two of meat, a zucchini piece and a few carrots. I mushed them up. I saved the Broth and had some shortly after. This is a family meal for those cozy days.
