Josette

that happens to me when I have it too strong. I just ad more water.

I'm dying here! I love your sense of humor!!!!

You got it! Good luck and update us as soon as you can on how it went!

My father is just like your husband Paula. Exactly alike! He embarrassed my mother over and over again and us kids by the way he'd react to even the smallest things. He did that even at hospice while my mom was dying. He has no coping skills at all no matter what the situation. After mom died he went to his doctor and got put on Lexapro and I don't know if it's the Lexapro or the loss of my mother (who did EVERYthing for him) but he's a completely changed man. I know it's been less then a year but I'm beyond proud of him and the way he reacts to things now. I think it might be a combo of things that changed him. He's being forced to step up to the plate and do things on his own and the medication. One of my best friends husband acts like that too. They tried antidepressants and they helped a little. They finally found out 2 years ago he was bipolar and they put him on wellbutrin and he's a new man! The medication even made him quit smoking. There is hope out there Paula. I'd follow the suggestion of seeing a psychiatrist. I'm sending my husband to one because he suffers from severe anxiety and AADD. The psychiatrists know the meds and how they work better then your family doctor. Good luck!

I had chinese food the other night. YUM! I'll be sad if I never get to eat it again. We'll see what my stomach allows though.

Although it might be fun to have my way with Jesse James from West Coast Choppers, I don't think I could live with myself everytime I looked at my DH.

I'm 6 days away from my band. I'm pretty excited. YAY!

Welcome to the group Straws and Coach. I'm having surgery in Port Huron on Aug 3rd. I can hardly wait. One week from today! I'm in Lansing and I'm 31, married with no kids yet. Coach, I loved Dr. Deol. I chose her first but ended up not being able to afford it at the moment. Congrats on 85 pounds of weight loss. That's amazing! What kind of things did they put ya through at Unisource? I hope you keep coming back and keeping us up to date on how you're doing.

Just me and the hubby for now. Till I lose weight and can have babies. The other is me and my parents and my little brother back in 2000 at a chicago white sox vs detroit tigers game in Chicago for my birthday when I turned 25. I love that picture.

Courtney, I was thinking about taking my before pictures too. AHHH! Just have to figure out what to wear when I take them.

Kelli, I'm not required to go on a liquid diet but I think i am just to help my wonderful doctor. I'm being banded on Aug 3rd. I'm having a hard time kicking my but in to gear though to start it. hehehe.

I have one tattoo and want to get several more. hahaha. I'm just going to wait until after my weight loss and decide where to put them all. I want to go to Vegas and get a memorial tattoo at Hart & Huntington.

I'm in lansing, MI but I could also fly out of Detroit.

for me it'll be a pizza delivery guy knocking on the operating room door because he took too long. hahaha "I have a large pizza with pepperoni and pineapple for a Josette!" That'll bring me out of anestisia for sure! hahaha

thanks everyone. Just trying to make everyone laugh and smile today! hehehe. I hope to look like Rebecca Romeyn eventually.
