CRUD!!! I have to check now! I forgot all about us meeting and made plans with the inlaws to come out early that day! I really don't want to miss this! I'll let cha know what I can do, unless earlier is better for you guys too. I know there is an IHOP not far from there.....I'll do my best with the inlaws...

My prayers continue. Sleep good tonight.

You must be so happy to be home!! Way to go Curtis, I bet tomorrow he'll be laughing and smiling! Sleep good!

Do we need to do this for cleanings also?

Has anybody heard anything?

Thats great! Any word yet as far as insurance?

I was thinking the same thing! Maybe she has lost so much weight that her fingers are to skinny to type!

WTG Melissa! I went to doctor today also. Lost 51/2 pounds while on the cruise! My BMI is now 40! String cheese is GREAT! Have fun with your new stage!

My doctors appointment. Well going on a 9 day cruise didn't stop the scale! I lost a 51/2 pounds! Yippie! My first fill won't be for another month. He doesn't feel I need it yet. So I'm cool and happy. My next weigh in the the 28th of November when I go see my pcp.

Everytime I think about this I crack up! Thank goodness I had pants on! They feel down as low as they could go! LOL I had just changed out of a dress thankgoodness!

Kim, I am totally free on Friday, so if you need anything please let me know. Also if you want to call me or one of us so we can keep everyone posted that will be great. Sorry I haven't called you this week. Do you want to do lunch tomorrow I'll be downtown?

Tomorrow is my Doctors appointment. Hopefully he'll tell me what went wrong the other night. I still don't feel 100%, but I"m 95% better! As far as the stupid scale goes! I threw all of mine out the window yrs ago! As hard as it is not to go on it I am not! I am waiting to use the doctors scale only! So far so good. In the past I know I have failed do to what the scale had to say about me for that day! I STRONGLY recommend at the most once a week. Monthly measurements and 1 new outfit a month! Don't forget to buy underwear that won't fall down!!! Did I tell you guys that story? Good luck tomorrow Melissa.

I do feel better than I did that night! Thanks

LOL no not yet!!!

How exciting and encouraging for us newbees! Way to go! Congrats!

Ok there is a wonderful book called WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU TALK TO YOURSELF the auther is Shad Helmstedder. He talks about how from the time we are first doing things we are told you can't do that! He gets you to look at yourself in a positive way and to think positily not negatively. Thought and words can effect you! This is a wonderful book! He also has one on weight loss. One of the things he suggests is to write on you mirror in the BR and in the car and refrigerater, whereever, your goal weight. Your subconsious will see this and it will help you get there! I have tried this in the past, but my goal was 165 when I was 265. It helped me make better desisions though. I do think that now I'm going to write a new # on my mirror, perhaps a shortterm # like 198. I highly recommend this book. I never finished the weight loss one, you know how life gets in the way..but everyone that has read this book has told me that it had changed there lives...I think I"m going to read it again, and start talking positive to myself and others about me! I'm going to have a great day, how about you!

Thanks, It was liquid pain med. I get nervous thinking that it was my sugar. I've never had sugar problems before. I'm looking forward to talking to him tomorrow about this.

Im in! Exercise everyday someway! WAlk at least 1 mile 4 times a week try for 7. OK now I have a funny story to tell you guys. As a lot of you know I was on a cruse last week. It was a 10 day cruse. We avoided Wilma by hours. Anyway for the most part I was pretty good. I had shake in the AM some type of chicken or fish for lunch drank Water like crazy, everyone else was drinking alcohol, so I added lime to my water. But then at dinner time.....they came around with these wonderful little (really they were little) rolls. In the begining of the cruse I had 1 then half way through I went to 2. Then I'd have some Soup maybe 5-6 TBLS then some type of proitien chicken or fish and then a few bites of desert. I have not been on the scale yet, I go see the doctor tomorrow so hopefully I didn't gain. Well the last night of the cruse I went outside to try to see if I could use my cell phone. The wind was so strong I had to hold onto the railing..MY UNDERPANTS FELL OFF! thats right right off! Thank God I had pants on or I realy would have been in trouble! I was laughing so hard and trying to hold myself up, that I couldn't pull them up. This man saw me laughing by my self so hard that he started laughing..I went into our gang just about dying with laughter and told them...We desided to put on the comment card that the food was so bad my underpants fell off due to weight loss! Well I'm hoping I did lose some! I measured my self the day before sugery which was 9/25 and I measured yesterday 10/25 I have lost 15 1/2 inches in a month.

How exciting! Congrats!

Well I'm feeling better now but all day felt wierd. I think it could have been all of thoses things everyone mentioned. I will be seeing my doctor on Thursday, and I'll tell him all about it. It was pretty scary, I even had the dry heaves. Thanks for all your support I'll keep you posted.

I told a lot of people from church and no one from my neighborhood so far so good. I have told people I had surgery or was having surgery and when they asked why I said girl stuff when they probed I said oh you know the typical. But the gall blatter sounds really good! I had mine out already.

I had been on just about everything they would work for a while then stop working. Then I started Wellbrutin about, gosh at least 10 yrs ago. When I run out and think I'm fine my girl friend oes and picks it up for me. I don't see myself ever going off of it at this point. I did however go through at least 10 dr's before I found the right one to help me. Don't stick to the same doc if your not getting better, be patient but deffinitly go for a phyc dr they know alot more than pcp. Good luck feel better.

Hey Kim, I read your post and cried for you. I'm so sorry that Curtis has to go through another surgery. Hold tight to God's promises! Remember what Cindy said about her friends daughter! Call me any time! I'm hear for ya like the rest of us! With Kelly turning 20 today I have only grown ups in my house, I can come anytime and listen anytime.

Good luck today Karen!

I had the soup at lunch time which was 11hrs ago for me now. haven'tt aken temp cause I feel to weak to go downstairs and get it. I did just have a killer huge burp! thought I was going to get sick and then out came the burp. This is wierd with a pretty empty stomach. I am real sleepy though but sort of nervous about laying down.
