gone 4 ever

don't forget Gas-X strips!:thumbup:

Slimmap...you gave really good advise. You aught to be proud of yourself.:thumbup:

Kc..Share please Beth...congrats on the weight loss after being stalled for so long. Diva.. thanks for the sex talk!:thumbup: I just finished reading it. Ya'll were so funny!. Ebony...I think you did good yesterday at the meeting. Thoughts and prayers are still with you. Now I need volunteers... for mowing, laundry, taking out garbage..etc..... Why? I might as well just stay in bed and do nothing. The chiro put a 2# restriction on me. I am not even allowed to play with my exercise ball! WHAAAAAA. Talking about feeling useless! I did figure out how to do things differently at work so they have no idea about the new restrictions. I am afraid if they did find out that they would fire me. I am already on the lightest duty, but the hardest job there. I need a receptionist job. Only problem with that is most require expereince.:ohmy: Is it my imagination or is the type different than the rest of what I typed?:thumbup:

My DD gave me the turkey bacon after I mentioned I needed to buy some bacon cause I was out. I love real butter, but am not using it as much as I used to. These fancy butters, where do you get them at?

look at BooBookity's profile. She has done the pinups. She looks great! Hers are kinda geared towards the older type pinups. I just love them. Very well done.

Kiss...talk to your obgyn about your workout routine. He will be able to tell you what is good for you to be doing.

Butterfly, go to the protein thread, I posted ways to help your protein drinks taste better and is fine on the 5dpt. good luck

PJTP.......I have found out that turkey bacon is like chewing rubber and has no flavor. YUCK

Morning all. Fanny, I think we all know what you mean about how we used to always be hot. Now we get cold so easy. LOL I feel for you. Tap, did you decide to stay home or go to work? I have to get a new tire. The flat I had can't be fixed. So I have to use my insurance money for the tire. I have to either get another pt job or get a full time one. Everyone have a blessed day.

DUH!!! as I slap myself up beside the head. No wonder I had weird dreams last night and had trouble sleeping (excluding the pain) I have been on a choc. binge the last 2 days. I don't handle a lot of caffeine well. I have been eating M&Ms and Snickers ice cream the last 2 days! It just dawned on me as I ate the last of the M&Ms. I am glad that it is all out of the house now. I ate it all. Now back to my regularly scheduled program.

Telly, my daughter had chewable pre-natal vitamins. Ask you obgyn about them.

Thanks Luluc. I am afraid to take Benedryl with my pain meds and muscle relaxers. I think part of the problem is my meds. Maybe walking inside the house might help. I am banded from most excersizes because of my health issues. I am missing my Gazelle, bands and ab lounger. But when I tried I found out reall quick and in a hurry NOT to do the Gazelle. The Dr. doesn't want me doing anything other than walking. Walking in my neighborhood at night is inviting trouble. Even during the day people walk with big sticks or their dogs (mostly pitbulls) I like my neighborhood until you get to the stop light after that you have the really bad places. It's just better to be safe around here. I love zuchini bread. I am making some for my DD next week. I also have to take some to work for a couple of my co-workers. I just have to make sure that I am out of this kick I have been in yesterday and today. Eating junk and way to much of it.:wink2: I won't make it till I know I won't want but 1 small peice of it. I might just make mini muffins instead of loaves. I have rambled long enough. BYE

Hey slimmap....here is my recipe (that I stole from another bandster) 1 c. ice 1 pk. Swiss Miss sugar free hot choc. 2 pks sweetener 1 Tbls. peanut butter 1/2 c. milk 1 scoop choc. Protein powder. Put in the blender, I usually set it on crush ice for a couple of seconds, then I have a milkshake setting that I put it on. Comes out almost like a milk shake. It is so yummy! Or you can do this... 1 c. ice 1 Tbls. PB 2 Tbls. sf choc. pudding mix 1/2 c. milk 1 scoop protein mix also yum. I like to also do frozen black cherries or blueberries. 1c. frozen fruit 2 pk. sweetener 1 scoop protein mix ( I like choc. w/ cherries, & van. with bl.berries) If you use fresh fruit then use 1 c. of ice Throw in blender and enjoy Hope these help you slimmap

Good luck EJM with the new one. Keep us posted about when you have the baby. Congratulations. Congratulations to you also Telly.

Almost 3am. Having trouble sleeping. just enough pain to wake me up and keep me awake. I am hoping pain meds kick in quick. I tried to weed whack yesterday. I shouldn't have done that. Oh well live and learn. I also had a very weird dream about my mom who has been dead 13 yrs. That didn't help with the sleep category.

Your welcome slimmap. keep me posted please. have a great weekend.:cursing:

Ebony, I am glad that you have a full weekend ahead of you. That way you won't have time to think about them idiots. I agree with you about having a union rep. around for the meeting. Hopefully the walk with your dog will do you and your band some good. I am getting ready to put together the head traction thingy the chiro. gave me this morning. I'm just praying I don't accidentally hang myself!:cursing: It hangs over a door and has pulleys and a water bag you fill up to equal different weights. Then you have this thing that fits around your head that attaches to the pulley and weight thingy. I am to do this 3 times a day along with icing down. Chat with ya later.

Oh Ebony, I am so sorry your going through more grief at work. My heart is breaking for you hon. I think decency went out in the 80's. It's a "dog eat dog" world out there anymore. It is sad that it is that way. But don't give up hope about the other job. You have a spotless record for 30 yrs. So this shouldn't keep you from any other positions. Any employer will look at your work history and see you have never had any marks against you until now. They should be able to figure out that it wasn't you. That there was trouble in the work place. So head up. My prayers are still with you. ((((hugs)))):scared2:

By the end of the 5dpt you will have lost. Is it time for Aunt Flo maybe? Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids and eating plenty of Soups and Jello. Don't worry about the calories while doing the liquid part of it. You will stress yourself out and stay hungry. remember with soups they go right through the band so you don't stay full. That's why I say don't count the calories when in this stage of the testing. Every time I got hungry I ate some Soup or jello. If your counting calories then they would add up real quick. I lost 6 lbs when I did the 5dpt. Everyone is different though. Good luck hon. Keep us posted.:scared2:

Rod...I am so glad that your son is doing good after the surgery. It's not an easy thing when a little one has surgery. They don't know what is going on and don't know how to tell you what they're feeling. It's not easy when anyone has surgery but a child is a lot harder.:scared2:

Your very welcome scout. I had ordered the sample of Ujury also. I like Myoplex pretty much. I just make sure with my Protein mixes I almost always add fruit or something to them with ice in the blender. I love to use frozen black cherries with cho. pro. mix. I love blueberries fresh or frozen with my vanilla mix. Wow I haven't heard of Shaklee in yrs. My parents used to sell Shaklee. Thank you Slimmap for the kind words. We are human. Most of us try not to hurt others feelings on here. But sometimes we do it and don't even know we've done it. Good luck everyone with the 5dpt:thumbup:

Yes you are better than that! You are a beautiful intelligent woman. "I am woman hear me roar" keep this song in your head KC..you will do great. Just think of plain and keep laughing. Maybe they will laugh with you even when they don't know why your laughing. got iced yesterday, but couldn't today. will explain after the quotes. Poor poor KC.:wink2: But I think KC will give you a run for the money. I just keep getting these horrible visions of you and they scare me!!!:scared2::tt2: I used to before I got banded. Now I am happy at 74degrees in the house. I don't freeze everyone out anymore. I was still getting up between 3 & 4 A.M. until recently. Now it's about 5 A.M. Well not with me doing all these pain meds and muscle relaxers. I actually sleep in when I am on them. I get up between 6 & 7 A.M. Used to be if I slept till 6 my kids thought I was sick and would check on me. MMMM maybe I need to talk to my chiropractor and see if he knows the mojo adjustment? Oh did I mention how cute he is? O.K. for my day.....(I'm writing a book) my sister and her hubby are letting me use their jeep till I get that tire changed. DBL can't do it due to lots of health issues. He has to have another surgery next month. So all is good.....I get to work to find the crew all sitting outside. They got locked out of the restaurant. The manager had left his keys inside and went out to check in the bread delivery. Well 4 co-workers followed him out. The 5th co-worker came out and they all hollered "don't let go of the door" just as she let it go. So they had been waiting 1 hr.( when I got there) for one of the other managers to come let them in. It was another 1/2 hr after I got there when some one came. Both the other managers live a long ways away. Moral of the story, next time I pull up to work and everyone is stuck outside, I'm bringing my happy tail home!:biggrin:After work, I leave and go straight to the free clinic. I had an appointment today at 3:30. I get there at about 2:40. They won't let anyone sign in yet. At 3:15 we can sign in. I find out all appointments are for 3:30. I am #2 on the list. They start calling people back. I am sitting and waiting, still waiting, still waiting.:scared2: I am thinking they are calling you in the order they have you in the appointment book. Then about 5:20 I notice people who didn't have appointments are being taken back.:sneaky: So I asked how much longer before I can go back. They can't find my folder. Then they said I wasn't checked in. I told them I was #2 on the sign in sheet. :mad2: Here someone had checked me off already like I had been seen.:mad: So I finally get out at 6:30. On the way home I stopped and got a couple of cans of fix-a flat. (found out SIL came by and pumped up the tire with his compressor since he forgot to get the door key from DD) Tire is already going flat when I get home. Went to put fix-a flat in tire, the can where the hose fits onto the can explodes all over my hands and car!:cursing: So the best thing about today was I have an appointment to see the free clinics ENT next month. The dr I spoke with today is concerned about the growth on my thyroid because I am a lymphnoma survivor and my thyroid tested fine last yr. She wasn't worried until I said I had it tested 2 weeks before I was banded.:eek: Before that she was saying that I have something-thyroidism. But that is my book. Good night all. Sweet dreams.:tongue2:
