Smelly Melly

I have three jobs!! I am a part time sales rep. for Campbells (soups, V8 juice, stock) and Arnotts Biscuits. I also work part time as an Integration Aide for special needs children. I am also a loving mum to my two beautiful children :thumbup:

Congratulations Anna!

Fantastic Nana! Hopefully I can follow in your footsteps!

Hi Samsonslady. I cannot eat in the morning due to restriction. I have a cup of tea with my Nexium and then about 2 hours later I am able to eat. It's strange that I cannot eat in the morning because I can eat quite a lot in one sitting later on in the day. Anyway I have a Fruche for breakfast but since you're off yogurt this probably doesn't appeal to you. What about an Up & Go, or Sustagen? A scrambled or poached egg? Sometimes I just east a few almonds. My taste has changed too. I used to LOVE chocolate and coke. But now they make me feel sick. Just the thought turns me off ;/ I don't crave anything now and it's great. I wouldn't have it any other way, although I must admit that I have forgotten to eat on a few occasions. I keep some flavoured rice thins in my car now for emergencies! Have you tried these? They taste great. They are the only carbs that I have. I particularly like the sundried tomato and roast chicken. Let us know how you get on

Thankyou Tiff! You've done it again. The dress is gorgeous and so are you! What an inspiration :thumbup:

I will follow your blog Good luck!

I agree with everything Tiffykins said, although the cost of living is different here. For our family of four I spend roughly $250 each week!

I was sleeved 23rd March and agree with everything you have said. Well done and good luck with your journey :thumbup:

Best of luck for tomorrow!

LOL Longhorn...hilarious!!

I generally say... "mmm haven't you taken your happy pills today?" or "don't you feel like you're cheating by having surgery?" I say... "well I didn't realise there were any rules I had to follow. Am I cheating somehow? My goal has been to get fit and healthy. Silly me"

I think you are right and several studies have been conducted. I did my research before I put my child on Melatonin and found it to be a safe NON PLACEBO alternative to other strong medications. I agree with you and my research showed that it is useful in treating some specific CAUSES of insomnia. Sometimes we just don't know what they are! :thumbup1:

WOW!! 48kms...20kms...you are putting me to shame! Keep up the good work :closedeyes:

Melatonin is brilliant! My 7 year old son has autism and has problems switching off and getting to sleep. His paediatrician perscribed a low dose for him just to relax enough so he can drift off to sleep. I believe it is used to help you get to sleep, not to keep you asleep. He has not had any nighmares only a peaceful slumber :closedeyes: In Australia you can only get it with a script from a specialist like a Paed. It costs me $55 for 15ml of Raspberry flavoured syrup plus postage because you can only purchase it from a few specialist pharmacies. It is very difficult to get but in my sons case it is well worth every cent. I was actually considering buying myself some online to try.

Tiffikins you crack me up! I second the fart comment. LOL :closedeyes:
