It must be too late because when I voted, it came up on the main screen. I looked as well and didn't see anything about it.

Guiding Light (US Soapopera) just started a storyline with the lapband
Ok, I've to ask, which character did you go to school with? I used to watch Passions a little here and there because it came on right after Days of Our Lives. I'm just curious because I am pretty familiar with most of the characters.

Don't mother's hold their babies anymore?
I used baby carrier a lot when my son was a baby. I have been a SAHM since my son was born and he was held a lot at home. My son tended to fall asleep while riding in the car, so it was much easier to take out the carrier rather than wake him up by unbuckling him. Of course, if my son was got fussy or upset, I would take him out, but if he was content, I left him in the carrier while running errands. I don't see any harm in it as long as the parent isn't putting the baby in it all the time, like at home all day long also. There is a big difference in depriving a baby of a mother's touch and carrying a baby in a car seat to run errands IMO.

Hmmmm............I checked the guide and it doesn't look like it comes on the Soap Net. Wonder why?

Brina Don't worry, I don't weigh my food BUT I do occasionally put my leftovers (mostly soups and chili) in individual tiny containers and freeze them so I can just grab one when needed. It's very convenient. I don't weight my food because 1.) I don't have a food scale. 2.) It would take up too much time. 3.) I just don't want to. Thanks for the food peddling idea! I'm trying to save up for plastic surgery and I could probably make a killing peddling food. I'll be in touch with ya'll, okay! :biggrin:

Guiding Light (US Soapopera) just started a storyline with the lapband
I've never seen the show, but I think it's great that they are working her real life situation into the show. I just hope it's not made to poke fun at the lapband. Hopefully they will show the good and the sometimes bad parts of the journey. I do like soap operas though. I watch General Hospital and Days of Our Lives. I get the soap channel so I can just surf the guide to see when it airs.

SF Popsicles on Liquid diet?
Nesser I had to do Clear liquids for a week, so the fudge pops were out for me until week 2. The SF Popsicles were a God send though. I would also suggest getting some Gatorade so you'll have it on hand. I got dehydrated the first week and the Gatorade really helped. Your doctor should give you a written guideline to go by. Good luck!

The Natural Diet Solution For PCOS.......
I have never PB'ed or gotten stuck before but I came very close tonight! As you know, I ate some stove top stuffing for lunch, it went down fine (probably because I made it thinner). I tried to eat scrambled eggs tonight and I thought I was going to puke. I was able to eat only 2 bites. Since I've never PB'ed, I don't really know what to expect. My mouth started watering and I felt pretty nauseated for a few minutes. Nothing happened, thank goodness! I was just wandering if that is how most people feel before they PB. Here's what I had today: B'fast- low carb slim fast Lunch- stove top stuffing (thinned out) Dinner- 2 bites of eggs, homemade fruit smoothie Hopefully by Monday I will be able to start back eating more fresh fruits and veggies.

Thanks Nip! Congratulations on your weight loss! You are an inspiration to all of us! Don't forget to send me an invite okay! Sounds like fun! LOL, Brina! Thanks for making me laugh, I really needed it! They didn't give me any prescription medicine for pain, but I've been taking liquid Motrin and to my suprise it has worked pretty well. I am going to keep in mind about your butt kicking skills! You never know.......... I may need you to use them one day, lol!

The Natural Diet Solution For PCOS.......
I ended up eating some stove top stuffing (with extra chicken stock) and it went down fine. So far I can't tell a difference with this fill, maybe it will kick in soon.
