  1. Ok just got back from My PCP's Office. History - I woke up Sunday with the lower part of my left eye bulging out. I thought (Don't laugh) it was the Peperation H I put under my eyes Thought I must have gotten a hemmoroid. Saw that on Ophra Anyway On Monday yesterday it did not go down and This morning the white part of my eye was swollen if that is possible. After much checking it is Allergies and it does not stop there since I had been sneezing and all the crude draining down the back of my throat has caused my finicky pouch to have more restriction that I am having a hard time drinking water it just pools there. Throat is irritated by the drainage but knock on wood no sinus infection yet. Have to double my dose of flonase and use prescribed eye drops and of course the Allegra. Doc says she thought my burning sensation was heartburn or the acid coming up but I only feel the burning at the middle of my throat so it is my sinus again. Ok I'm done whining :speechles
  2. Every part of my being is crossed for you. Mary
  3. OMG I have to admit I have seen them all at one point or another. Even tried some of the ideas (never came out like the picture). I love the food channel I would be hungry if it was not for today's problema. Will post that later after I find out what it is..
  4. Wow the weight is just dropping off. Cool beans
  5. Sounds Good to me-- (((HUGS))))
  6. Rickets - what in the world is that??
  7. Just seen your update. Glad that the Dr's know what is going on and that your sister & Baby are doing fine. Will keep them both in my prayers.
  8. Great Patty, Glad to hear you are doing so good. Nows a good time to rest and take it easy with all that snow..
  9. oh that sounds like a lot of fun. Wish I could go but cannot.
  10. You made a very good point Megan. I have been feeling more acid in my lower stomach and had to start taking the medication the Doctor gave me to calm it down. I add it up to my sinus acting up again. I have more restriction just trying to drink coffee today.

    Hi Paula, Thanks for asking he is doing better but we take it day by day. Many positives and a few negatives but he is coming along fine. We work at it each day re enforcing good choices. Pam you are so right the schools now days push medication like it was candy. We struggled with this for 2yrs now it started with his kindergarden teacher and we changed his teacher to one that was more stricter. Now we got a strict teacher this year and the same thing. He was falling below grade level could not remember what was just taught to him within minutes of going over it. Not to mention self esteem was pretty low with everyone talking down to him as if he was not there. Needless to say the school year is almost over and he is doing alot better and I do see his grade coming up and he holds his head higher. So only time will tell
  12. Almost there Jammin...Hurray Hurray
  13. I heard Huskers. My mom bought my little boy a huskers pull over now I live in Colorado where everywhere you turn it is CSU but she liked the colors so now my little one has a new favorite pullover.
  14. Roxanna Best Wishes on your getting your Band. Great Idea to have Band footage. Take Care
  15. Don't envy you Alex. I am looking forward to Spring bet you are too? Is the sun out to at least melt it away?
  16. My husband did not know of my weight before the band. He knows now that I weigh less than him but does not know exactly.
  17. Kristi you are doing good 25lbs that is awesome. Sometimes we come to a stand still and you may not be dropping pounds but inches instead. Might want to measure your self to be sure but in the coming weeks I bet you will see the pounds start to drop again. Good luck on your first fill.

    Whipple don't go I among many will miss your sense of Humor you add so much to LBT as others do, I enjoy coming here through out the day to see what is new. Obvioulsy I missed something somewhere. I believe every road has it's bumps and this may be one of those. I think only postive thoughts of everyone and would like to reply to everyone's questions or comments or even add to the joke thread but sometimes I do not have enough time when I am suppose to be working. But I wish everyone well if they feel they must leave I understand. I wish you and Patty well and that everyday is a good day for her and You.. Best wishes Mary
  19. Best wishes Wade on the Start of your New Journey.
  20. Welcome to LBT I had my surgery on Friday Am and as soon as they took all the vitals I was up and walking. Yes I was alittle sore but I had 2 C-sections with my boys and it was a lot easier for me this time around. I was back to work the following Tuesday 1/2 days but of course I have a sit down job I did that for 2 weeks. But I would walk around alot just to keep movement in my legs (did not want any blood clots). But like Penni & Marie say everyone is different, Hindsight I should have taken off a week to make sure my body recuperated slowly. But once I was home I rested alot due to being tired since it is major surgery.
  21. Hope you are feeling better Paula. Mumm Gumbo heard it is good but have not tried it. I have been cheating when I get to the point that I should not take that next bite, I actually do I chew and have a napkin handy and spit it out. (How gross) but It gives me a moment to think what is going to happen if I swallow. Then I have to leave the table or toss my unfinished plate into the trash.
  22. That is great you have your Band place correct this time. Take them for every last penny you can! Best Wishes

    I got one from My Dr's Office. I have only used it a few times seems not all Resturants will let you order from the Childrens menu.
  24. Mine say 175.00 I lied when I put that down it was more like 220.00 but they did not know that. But I do get the double take when I do pull it out at the Dept stores. I look so different than my most wanted photo. But alas I go get a new one this year and hope fully I will be less than 175.00 and very proud to put my new weight.
  25. Welcome back Vera Glad that it was only a hole in your tube and nothing more extreme. You are such a trooper to be awake for the whole thing. really need to do spell check b4 I post anything. Edited
