  1. I try to do something active. My biggest stress reliever is playing soccer. I play two nights a week. My other stress reliever is biting my nails. I have been doing it since I was a little girl and just can not stop.
  2. It really depends on your body type. I am at 140 and can wear a size 2 in some pants. I can wear med and smalls in shirts.
  3. I am running in the jingle bell run. It is to support arthritis foundation. I have RA so it will mean so much to me to be able to run the race this year. With my blue hat on to symbolize I have arthritis. I have been running a mile for several weeks and I am ready to add to it. I can do a mile in 10.6 right now.
  4. Your doc should have an after hours phone number. Give then a call.
  5. Well on the fish oil issue you can break those open and spread it on food. That la what I do for my dogs. My remedy has been good ole hard work in the gym. It has taken care of a lot of loose skin. It has not taken care of my boobs however. Although I am fairly certain egg whites and fish oil can not help them either! Only a surgeon or support bras can help them. They have officially gone south for the winter and it is still summer here in Texas!
  6. I am hoping to run one in December.
  7. I would check with your doc before taking the pill just to be safe.
  8. If I am reading your posts correct the reason you vomit is so that you have control. If that is the case there are other ways to take control. The one I use and it is working is to log my food. I know what I am putting in my body everyday. Before I started logging I had no idea, and a quick snack of sweets was common. Now that I log I challenge myself to reach a goal everyday. Sometimes I focus on protein and sometimes I focus on calories, but I make sure to stay focused and thus gain control
  9. Well at least take your pillow out to dinner first - its only fair!! on a serious note - Make sure you put your car keys up some where safe. I have heard of people driving on CR.
  10. Be careful with Ambein cr. I had bad side effects from it. It made me very aggressive in bed, but I would not remember much of it. I would have just flashes of what had happened. My husband said it was really strange for him, because I was not myself at all. Then I would not remember it, and I think that hurt his feeling some.
  11. My doc said that meds are absorbed just like the always have been..
  12. Thanks - when I finally figured out that this journey is more mental than physical I was able to relax. My favorite saying is the serenity prayer and it fits with rny. Accept the things I can not change Courage to change the things I can And the Wisdom to know the difference
  13. Oh my that sounds like an interesting thing to make.
  14. As a vet on this site your post is probably the most common post on here. Newbies usually freak out on their first stall. It is very normal to freak out when your body stops. You start doubting everything. Your hormones are out of whack due to the weight loss and you brain is desperately trying to figure out what the hell you have done. It is laws of nature - you did not waste your money and you will lose the weight. Everyone is different and will lose differently - different times and amounts. You quickly learn the fine art of patience during this journey. The facts are your body is still recovering from major surgery. Your body is in what is called starvation mode. It believes you are in the lean winter months of our ancestors and it must hold onto everything you put in it. You brain is currently throwing a temper tantrum and is so pissed off and confused. It went from eating hamburgers, pizza and sweets to now only drinking a few oz every hour and protein shakes. It would piss anyone off. Instead of getting upset for not losing weight the past five days - Celebrate the positives. You have lost 16 pounds in two weeks!!!! That is great weight loss and I know there are several people on the site that are jealous of your loss. Try not to step in the scale for a few days. Find another way to measure your success. I wrote out goals for myself and worked to achieve them rather than looking at numbers on a silly little machine. Finally I will say this. You will hit many many more stalls during this journey. During most stalls you lose inches so your body is still losing during your stalls. When you hit your stalls take a deep breath and don't stress. Also in several months you will get on here and read a post just like the one you wrote today and you will smile knowing exactly what they are going through and also know it is temporary. Hang in there!!!!!
  15. I have seen it in my vitamin shop and I saw it yesterday at a store called market. You might try health food stores.
  16. With any pain you should contact your doctor. It could be a multitude of things.
  17. I am sorry for your loss. My shih Tzu woke up one morning in 09 paralyzed on her right side. By the time my mom got her to the vet she could not walk. I was 4 hours away at school and my poor hubby was scared to tell me. Thankfully the shih Tzu rescue that we foster for helped us out and paid for the surgery to get her all fixed up. She had a slipped disk in her neck. We will not have any kids so Molly is our little princess. In my family we always try to get a new animal fairly quickly. The new ones always seem to know how to make us smile. It has always help me get through my grief. Make sure you are drinking plenty of Water and getting your Protein in.
  18. I interviewed two doctors before I decided which doc was the best one for me. I agree with BD. RUN and run fast.
  19. Could be gallbladder. I would call your doc.
