  1. Well look at it like this...before you would have had all that plus 2-3 more doughnuts and half the cheesecake...or at least I would have! Stop beating yourself up! Tomorrow is another day!
  2. If his penis did not go into your vagina, then no you are not pregnant. If his penis entered your vagina, then it is a possibility. No one has ever gotten pregnant by dry humping. If it's getting this serious, I would suggest using condoms. Or get yourself on birth control. You can get them free at local health departments. Or at least you can where I work.
  3. I had tasted cracker meth at my child's School's Holiday Mart. It's plain old saltines made with this seasoning called The Original Savory Saltine Cracker Seasoning. I swear I thought one taste won't hurt...I had to walk away from the freaking plate....damn cracker meth! Here's the video...it's is disgusting how they are made...don't ever try them..I think I am gonna have to have rehab for this cracker meth addiction. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=YJhzl40qq4A&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DYJhzl40qq4A
  4. I hate to say it...but I married a Yankee..and Tasty Cakes are better...I sooooooo didn't want to admit it...but they are...Thank goodness they aren't readily available in my area!
  5. If you have that other woman's mentality about the vulgar way she treated that poster ...then yes..I will treat you with prejudice even if I become one of those twiglets myself...however...I treat others with the respect I expect for myself unless you act downright nasty. I can be just as nasty and mean spirited as the next person and not lose a lick of sleep over it.
  6. Yes ..that is true. But it is the employee who decides whether or not to join said union. Once you pay that union membership fee, you are bound by its governance. And to play devil's advocate, aren't you being mean spirited back to the person you are excusing of being mean spirited?
  7. Well remember it is the death of Hostess. But 33 of the Hostess brands more than likely will be sold to companies..and I bet it won't be long before we see Twinkies back on the shelves ..Ding Dongs..Ho Hos ...orange cup cakes...
  8. Yeah! That's wonderful!
  9. Good riddance to bad rubbish..
  10. Mine popped and create a hematoma...and that hurt like hell for 2 months. So if yours doesn't hurt..I doubt it is serious. Good luck!
  11. Nope..it's a learning process! I would gulp air or take too big a bite..and let's not even go to actually passing gas and not being on the toilet when you do! I always farted with caution the first 2 months post op! So, yes they is normal. I used Equate simethicone gel caps to help with that..worked for me! I am 7 months post op and I still use them when my guts get to talking too loudly!
  12. First week was hellish ...crap the month for me was hellish. Several people here said that GasX strips that dissolve on your tongue helped. Walking helps even though you may not feel like it...it does help. I could not drink water until 2 months out. I drank unsweetened tea through a straw the first 2 months along with Unjury shakes and soup. Now..some doctors freak at the notion of a straw. However, I asked my dietitian was scientific basis was the recommendation o no straws based on and of course there wasn't any..it's a suggestion because they think you may gulp air with a straw. I actually get less air with a straw then sipping, so that is something to try. If you feel dehydrated, call your dr. You can always go in for some IV fluids.
  13. That's not catty....that's the truth!!!!!
  14. Amen sister! Thanks!
  15. Thank you Kathy! I am trying very hard! And will keep on the track!
  16. Thanks! I always love hearing OMG! LOL! I feel less fat already!
  17. Bawahahaha thanks Iggy for a dose of reality!!!!
  18. Here's sending prayers of healing and speedy recovery your way!
  19. Thank you! I think posting these pictures is very therapeutic for me...I am glad it is inspirational for you.....but as you see even after we go through this..sometimes we have doubts ..and this lets me calm those doubts! Thank you for the kind words!
  20. So..I am having a "fat" day..we women and granted some men have these...for all my hard work ..I still feel fat..so I decided to pull out my pictures..and I will share them here ..7 months out down 111-113# (depends on the time of day, clothes..ect ect). ..so remember when you are feeling down...pull out that post op picture that you really didn't want to take of yourself..you'll be thankful you did..because I always want to remember where I have been, where I am at...and where I am going! 12 hours before surgery 4-3-12: 6 month anniversary 10-3-12 down 98# And today 11-16-12 fluctuating between 111-113# down ...still feeling fat but know that I have come a long way and still have more to go..but I will keep on keeping on! Hang in there folks! Take pictures and measurements and keep your chin up..it gets better!
  21. I was told I need 1500 mg of calcium per day...each chew is 250mg ..as I understand..the body can only in theory absorb 500 mg of calcium at one time in a two hour stint therefore I take 2 calcium chews every two hours during the day for maximum absorption of the calcium so it will be beneficial.
