  1. I would send him a copy of what you wrote above... let him know how you feel and then it's in his hands to get in touch, if he does you can work on your friendship, if not you need to move on! good luck!
  2. stay strong and keep doing what you have to do!!!! Shannon
  3. My PCP was no help at all, so I got a new one.....
  4. I would wait just to be sure...but you could also talk to an artist ans see what they think
  5. My younger son was 18 months when I had mine, and a BIG bpy. hubby did almost everything for the 1st wk (he stayed home from work), but after that I was on my own and just had to be carefull!
  6. you can loose the weight, we all can...BUT can you KEEP IT OFF????? that is most people's problem...... good luck w whatever you decide!
  7. maybe your not absorbing the Rx....check with your Dr, you might need stronger/diff meds
  8. I wouldn't. there is nothing for him to do and you will be all loopy and poo in pain, he doesn't need to see that. plus if he wants to cuddle, you shouoldn't let him for a day or two, just in case...it would be really hard!
  9. I would call and speak to the practice manager or the Dr himself.....might not do any good, but you have to try everything! and it's January, how are they full for the yr?
  10. sounds like the meat is to dry. meat thats is cooked in sauce (chilli, soup) is easier for me to eat
  11. I would guess it's all the stored estrogen/hormones being released from your fat cells shrinking! should level off in a couple months....
  12. my hubby took the wk after my surgery off, we have 2 boys 1 and 7. It would have been hard the 1st few days w/o him!
  13. I would deff go to the ER and get checked out! let us know how it goes... (I'm 3 months out and have had no real problem...knock on wood)
  14. 9-26 was mine! down abouy50-52 but I cheated a bit over the holidays... back on track now! it really has more to do w how much you have to loose (100-110 for me)... the more you need to loose the faster is goes at 1st! good luck and don't get discouraged! Shanon
  15. last time I was at the Dr they told me "no milk"...not even skim, they want ALL my liquids to be 0 calorie! (it made me sad...I was craving milk at the time) shannon
  16. sometimes we are our own worst enemy!!! no matter why you are doing it...STOP!!! you know you need your Water...DRINK! you know you need your Protein...GET IT!!! you know you need to exercise...GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO IT!!!! good luck, you got this! Shannon
  17. Be the change you want to see!!! Come up with your own traditions that don't center around food. Spend some time volentering or something! before long that will become your "normal" and food is not at the center of it! good luck! shannon
  18. my Dr said the same...don't do juice, do more protein! good luck!
  19. Congratulations! I had mine 9-26, highest weight was 258.8....I am now bouncing around 211-213. Hoping for ONEderland by mid January......but I am almost to the point where I have lost more then I need to lose! shannon
  20. I have a friend that gets Iron infusions, but thats all I know...
  21. We don't make much $ and are a family of 4, so it's cheaper... and only about 7 min drive! good luck findingg a place, it really is important!
  22. nope, but I just joined the Y. sliding scale I pay 35 a monrth for a family, I know you can find cheaper, but they have a pool, classes, machines , and (most imp) childcare! I have been x2 and I love it and so does the baby! Hubby and I share a car so I can only go doys his carpool buddy drives but that is every other day so I should be able to wk out 2-3 days a week, plus I do Roller Derby 2-3 times a week... I may just get healthy...LOL
