The aciphex is prescribed. You can get over the counter prevacid, tagament and zantac that might work. This one is just stronger. good luck to you! wombat

bcrazy - I lost a lot of hair as well. Almost 50% on top. It is now growing back in. I have lots of one inch fuzzzies sticking up everywhere. I'm starting to look like the "crazy" lady!! No complaints though - I'm glad it's coming back in. Everyone says it eventually stops. I know that doesn't make it easier to deal with. I had thin hair to begin with so I had lots of scalp showing! I take a multi-vitamin, calcium suppl, iron suppl, and a folate suppl. wombat

Yea lulu!!!!! :laugh: I should be on week 6 with you but I slacked for a couple of weeks I did week 4 today!!! I even up'd my speed to 5.0 for the last minute :smile2: DH didn't think it was right that I could run as fast as him - especially since he's a foot taller! I was not liking life about 1/2 way though but it felt sooooo good when I got done. I'm going to learn to love running - I'm going to learn to love running ... Happy Tuesday!! wombat

I don't know about unfills, but have you tried medication for reflux? I take aciphex which is a small pill. Slightly bigger than birth control. If I don't take it then I get the acid in the throat. With the med, I can lay flat at night without issues. They implied that this wouldn't be an issue after banding - it worked for all of 3 months for me before it came back :wub: I wish you luck in getting it taken care of! I know it's miserable wombat

Yes it is set to music. Like dance and techno music. A voice tells you when it's time to run and when it's time to walk. I like it much better than staring at the clock! Congrats on getting started! wombat

Update for me :cheers2: I love my latest fill!!! Wombat712 .... 152.8 ..... 120 ....... 144.6 .............. 24.6

Woohoo Stephanie!!! My number keeps going down these days - no complaints here. Not sure what I'm doing differently. I've been a tad stressed and haven't been eating quite as much and certainly not good healthy choices either. hmmm - I'll take it either way! I'm sad I missed the rainbow!! We had a little hail at my house - couple of pieces were golfball size. Somehow none of them hit my 2 cars parked outside - woohoo!! Other parts of McKinney had so much hail it looked like it had snowed. Glad you were spared. Captain Danbo - you should definitley ask her out even if everyone is around. You can do it quietly without calling lots of attention to it :cheers2: You are a cutie and she would be crazy to say no!! If she's making comments then she's interested!!!!

welcome bzymom!!! Glad to hear you are feeling better! Wow it sounds like you've had a rough start. Your spirit sounds fabulous though! Hugs to you! wombat

aaawwwe The board has been pretty quiet today. Maybe everyone else has had much better weather than we have had here :wink_smile: Hope you didn't get too much hail! wombat

I missed the valentine's challenge by 6 pounds.

You are both blessed 2bemeagain and Mrs Peace!!! I worry about my children 14 and 10. It isn't cool now for my 14 year old so I keep working on him. He is in church every Sunday. He only told me once he didn't want to go - I let him know that as long as he lives in MY house then WE go to church on Sunday - even if he's 30!!!! I was saved at 15 and I know I did some stupid things in college despite already being a Christian. I hope and pray that my children can find their way in the Lord. Hugs to all wombat

woohoo Bigbaby!!!!!! You are on your way :wink_smile: Texgirly - sorry to hear you've been so sick. My daughter has been out of school for 3 days with the flu. I'm thanking God that the rest of us haven't caught it. I went to the office and ran my 3rd day of week 3!!!!! No excuses - nor rain or hail. lol I am looking forward to getting into week 4!!!! whosya - I cannot imagine that kind of snow!! I'm freezing here in TX and I know you're rolling your eyes! lol I think it is beautiful up there but the winters would do me in!

you're so sweet 2bemeagain I'm all calm now! :biggrin: I am not a stressor at all - I always say that if my worrying or stressing would help then have at it - if not then quit. My DH is a big worryier and I'm always telling him that it's not helping anything. If it would then I'd join ya!! He doesn't care for it too much when I say that :thumbup: Hugs to all and prayers! wombat

Thanks y'all!!! I'm letting go and letting God take control. I can't stress over it. My boss will hopefully be back soon and take charge of the situation. He was in a bad biking accident and has a stage 3 concussion - when it rains it poors?!?! Anyway - I am much better today and just taking it all in stride :thumbup: Hugs & prayers wombat

I don't have a trainer. I would like one eventually but I'm not ready for that yet. I guess I have the fear of a "Jillian" screaming at me and that just isn't me. I'd just sit there and cry if someone yelled at me :thumbup: I have a co-worker who is also a personal trainer so I ask advice every now and then. I don't want to abuse that so I haven't bothered her in forever. Thanks Stephanie!! I didn't realize how weak I was. I literally had every machine on the absolute lowest and could barely do 10 reps. I still get lightheaded a lot so I try to be careful and I eat lots of salt (cause the doc said I could and I LOVE it) :crying:

Lulu - feel free to PM me!! I have spondylarthropathy version of RA. Bigbaby - yea you!!! It just gets easier as you go :crying: I love the podcasts - it makes it easier than staring at the clock praying for the time to be up :thumbup:

smilinapple - you do sound a little tight. I can't eat Breakfast much either. If I try to eat something it takes an hour for me to get down soggy Cereal. I mostly drink muscle milk lite or slim fast for breakfast and yes I have to drink them slowly. You might want to start you morning with a cup of coffee or hot tea to soften things up a bit. That might make it a little easier for you :cursing: I can eat lunch mostly ok but I'm pretty good with dinner like you. I just really have to remember that I have issues and pause between bites to get a "feel" for how things are going. Good luck!! {{hugs}} wombat

kozel10 - go to Trying To Conceive Ticker and go through the steps to create one. Then copy the picture of the chart into your signature :cursing:

Bigbaby - yea for staring the couch to 5K!!!! I do a little (yes very little) weight training and I've started doing yoga for stretching and flexibility. Yesterday was my off jogging day so I walked for 20 min on the treadmill and did a round though the machines on the lowest weight. I am such a weakling. Mostly I just do this jogging program. Once I get through the program I think I will move it to an everyday (rest on Sundays) kindof thing. EMCGOVERN - welcome!!! You have come to a great place to get support!! I would not have made it without the help of all these wonderful people! As supportive as my hubby is, he doesn't understand like the people here do :cursing:

Did day 2 of week 3 this morning. I really didn't want to do it this morning but I forced myself anyway This is getting a little easier. My head says I can't run that long but I'm making it. I haven't looked at what week 4 has in store for me - I don't want to scare myself yet and I like denial :cursing: Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!! :wub: wombat

woohoo Candy and 2bemeagain!!! Things are crazy for me at work and I'm starting back to school at night tomorrow. My co-worker got fired for an outburst he had and he kicked a whole in the wall. I had all of his work transferred to me on top of mine - which I was supposed to be sending all of mine to him so that I could work on another project for 6 months. Just crazy!! I'm feeling a little overwhelmed but I know God is in control and that He will not give me more than I can handle. hugs & prayers, wombat

Our perception is just messed up. I was shopping this last weekend. I picked up a size 10 jeans and thought they were way too small. They fit (yea!). Then I go looking for another style of jeans and when I look at the size 10 I think that they look huge - like look at the size of that butt!! They fit too (yea!). what's up with that? wombat
