  1. Yes! Down 45. I can eat everything which is probably why I have not lost that much.
  2. You're not using your core muscles, so your back is doing all the work your front used to do. Strengthen your core and the back pain will subside.
  3. I'll tell you what works better than anything! Vagisil feminine itch cream. Or whatever other brand u find. Best.Stuff.Ever.
  4. Target. Or clothing resale shops via google.
  5. Why not save them until you know for sure you won't need them and the go buy stuff with the almost expired ones and donate to a shelter? Those of us who are used to living pay check to pay check often think that if I have it, I HAVE to spend it, not so if they give you a year to use it. You may need some more than your allotted amount around the holidays, or for birthdays or for another special occasion.
  6. Try one egg scrambled in a coffee cup add a couple tablespoons of skim milk. Micro for one minute stir again then micro for 20-30 seconds and stir until u get the texture you like. Then add some shredded low far cheese and you eat right from the cup!
  7. Have you tried this? 8oz skim milk 1 pckg Carnation Instant Breakfast the kind in the blue box 2 heaping TBLSP powdered milk Stir really really well to mix up the powdered milk and there you have it! 20 gm of Protein total.
  8. Me too!! My surgery is no till after noon, you are lucky you're early. See you on the flip side!
  9. You can get the Opti Source through Amazon subscribe and save for $20 per month. Free shipping and no tax.
  10. I'm August 27th too!
  11. Scheduled next month with Dr. Valina at Central DuPage
  12. I've always wanted to know someone named Tank!
  13. Good luck! I can't wait for you to realize your dreams!!
  14. I didn't mean to start anything. I just wanted to hear some cold hard truths which I have thanks to those who have shared. I can't imagine this has been an easy decision for anyone to have the surgery, and it's not going to be an easy decision for me or my family either.
  15. I'm just trying to know as many stories as possible. Any one thing that you wished you had known to make you not have the surgery?
  16. I'm in the process of getting all the tests done and I can't for the life of me find anyone who would not do it all over again except for some folks that are recent post ops. Thanks for your input.
