Sending prayers your way too!! Hope your date hurries up so you don't have to worry about it too long. Thank goodness you have good insurance!

Yay!! I'm glad you're doing well!! I'm so happy for you! You worked extra hard for this!!

I love bacon too!! Thick sliced Petit Jean bacon!!! We have chickens, so we do eat bacon & eggs on the weekends. & It's good!!!! I'm not gonna lie. I don't eat biscuits though (because I can't).

Wow! That is a major NSV!! I have never shopped in that department!! I think I'm gonna cry too! Congrats!!

Yep! Congrats!! The liquids will go through you. When you've been on liquids for so long, your bowels get empty so there's nothing to slow the liquids down. Once you get on mushies things will slow down. And don't be suprised if you quit losing or even gain after you get on mushies & then progress to solids. You would be suprised how much your bowels can hold. Hang in there! I agree with p'nut about the sports drinks & protein!

You've got my prayers too!! I know it's easier said than done, but don't worry till you have to!! I hope you get better soon!!!

I like classic rock, southern rock, 80's metal & yes, some country in small doses. I even listen to rap & classical. I like all music really. But I tend to gravitate toward the classic & southern rock.

:ranger: Yep! Me too! I'm here all hours of the day & night!!

Hi & welcome back! It took me forever to get real restriction too. Good luck! I hope this is your sweet spot!

Okay Sarge, I need a swift kick in the butt!!! I pigged out this weekend & as a result, I have lost nothing for this week. Zilch! I did lose another inch. Somehow? Double time for me this week!!

Yay!! That's great!! I hope to join you there one day!! Save a seat for me!!

We had a stomach virus here in Arkansas about a month ago that was so bad in 1 county it actually made the 5 o'clock news. I stayed far away from town cause it was the county next to mine & we live right on the line. Scary!! Take care! Hope you get to feeling better soon! Drink plenty fluids! It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get a prescription of phenergan suppositories to keep on hand. For all of us!

Wow! I missed it! I didn't know you were getting your band today! Yay!!! Congrats Bean!!! Welcome to band Land!! I hope you have a fast, Pain & gas-free recovery!!

I am still grieving food. It is getting better though. I kinda feel like i lost my best friend. How long have you been on Lexapro? I took it for a month & couldn't stand it! I actually felt worse. I couldn't scrape myself off the couch! Hang in there!

I don't think I can add to what anyone has said here. So I'm sending prayers, white light, healing vibes & everything else I can think of! Stay strong!! (((HUGS)))!!!!

Cute Vines! When my Mabel (who is a mutt) went into heat I put panties on her cause I didn't want my schnauzer "Jackson" getting to her. I told Lonnie we would have Schmutts if they hooked up!

I have thought about this myself! Every time I watch my husband carry the big bags of chicken food to the chicken house, I think, "Good grief, that's how much I have lost, plus some!" When you see it like that, it really gives you something to think about!!

LOL!!! That's funny!

I saw that the other night! That is cool!!

Girl! You're crazy! Everyone is entitled to their opinion! If others don't like it, then they have the problem! I purposely stay out of threads like that. So I can honestly say I have no idea what you are talking about. I am here to have fun, meet interesting people that I have something in common with & hopefully to learn from other's experiences & mistakes! Keep having fun girlie! I'm with Dee here. If you have an opinion & want to voice it, do it!! That's what makes this America!
