he should take the same medicine that you took, that dyflucan.

i once had one that went on forever. the only thing that finally killed it so it wouldn't come back was a prescription vaginal cream. i don't remember the name because it was a while ago, but that did it. i had tried the yogurt, vinegar and garlic. i think these things are good to do once its gone, to ward off a reoccurance. but to kill a really stubborn one sometimes you need a prescription cream like i did. good luck, i know that it's a torture when that itch is down there.

i'm white so i'll just lurk. :redface:

i have a 4cc band. i currently have 1.75cc and have good restriction. i also wonder sometimes if i need a fill because some days i am very tight and some days not as much. i guess that you just have to decide these things for yourself as there are no rules that apply to everyone. but my doc says 1 to 2 pound weight loss a week is good for banded people.

if only you could dig up those shorts for your after picture, it would be a real show stopper.

i have 3 dogs and can only imagine how you feel. a pet brings great joy into our lives. after you grieve i think it would be a great idea to get another dog. you can never replace the one that you lost because they are all individuals, but you can find new happiness with another.

my brother is rail thin and his knees crack every time he squats down. i think different knees crack for different reasons, because his certainly aren't because of his weight. you'll just have to wait and see as the scale goes down. but i can tell you one thing from experience, they certainly do hurt a lot less.

wonderful. i am so happy for you on your success!!!

my doctor has the liquid 2 day rule then musies 2 days. i usually feel more restriction 2 weeks after a fill.

i used to get that rancid taste in my mouth that you first mentioned. i had to carry a toothbrush and toothpaste in my pocketbook at all times. when i got that disgusting taste in my mouth i would have to brush not only my teeth but the inside of my cheeks, the roof of my mouth, my gums and my tongue. then while my mouth felt fresh i could eat something. its crazy all the things you go through while pregnant. you just have to find out what helps you.

it stinks that they had to remove your band, but if the doc said he was afraid your stomach would tear i can understand his reason. he was looking out for you, even though you didnt like what he had to do. but i see no reason why you cant be banded again after you heal. talk it over with your doctor and good luck to you.

i chose the lap band because i didnt want my insides cut and rerouted. the band is a device that is placed inside you and is adjustable and removable. i am very happy with everything about the band.

i saw it. fetal heart rate 136 beats per minute. me thinks its a boy!!!!!!! woohooo! girls rate is usually faster. i'm not in the medical field, but i have 2 girls. both heart rates were in the 150's. you are having one terrific year.

i am also tight in the morning and loose at night. i usually have 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese in the morning. good protein and its soft.

that really is disappointing. but you have to look forward not back because there is nothing you can do to change what already happened. if it was me and there was something i could do in the next 3 months to get my liver ready for the operation i would do it. or else i would consider another weight loss surgery procedure. i chose the band because it was the least invasive. but after having the band if i were to lose it for any reason i would never go back to not having some form of weight loss surgery to help me lose weight.

call your doctors office and tell them what you did so they can guide you. i had to be on clear liquids for 2 days before surgery. then the night before surgery at 6:00pm i was to drink citrate magnesium which is a laxative.

i am also diabetic and overweight. my foot doctor prescribed orthotics and they really help with the foot pain. but i also wear crocks as they have an orthotic bed and you can buy them at a lot of places. i get mine at modell's and my feet feel good in them. you might want to try them.

eeyore, show him what a strong and beautiful (inside and out) woman that you are. you didn't fall apart when he left. you stayed focused and continued your journey. it's his loss that he didn't stay with you. as you start looking better and better you will feel better. of course it's going to take a while to get over him, but you will get over him. and remember the best revenge is looking good.

to answer the question "are we ready for a black president?" yes, but the first black president of the United States should have been colin powell.

i worked with a guy who used to take antibuse. it seemed to me that he loved taking it and being real strict. not using after shave or mouth wash or anything with the slightest bit of alcohol in it. to prove to himself that he could do it and not drink. but then i think the biggest charge he got was when he would stop taking it, and count down to the minute he could start drinking, then crack open a beer. he is sober now, but with the help of aa.

i was the coolest, i had high hair.

egg salad would be the easiest i think. nice and smooth and creamy. but a really great source of protein would be to make the egg salad with cottage cheese instead of the mayo.

diet pills, i've tried them all over the years. what do i think of them? i'm banded now. after almost losing my mind on them. but those you can't get anymore.

i would just die
