1day at a time

Jewel - i love your new hair color it is so cute. Well 1:00am am I can't get to sleep I took an ambien 3hrs ago and nothing my head will not stop chatting. I have not really felt good today nausea, headaches, I have had night sweats the last two nights something is not right. I think I have been messing up my stomach with all this acid problems and I need to get the Dr to loosen my band so I can rest my stomach. I sure it it a combo of stress, emotions an other stuff but I have never had acid so bad before and I do not want to take any more stuff for the acid the band needs loosened. Somehow I need to stay home from work in the morning and begged the to work me in I cant take it no more I have been eating sliders and gained weight plus I have been pbing so much even on broth soup I need HELP

I am here hanging in there trying to find a job but still working at the same place with that evil woman. I asked for a half day off friday and it was so nice. Anyways this week my acid got real bad I woke up twice spitting it up. Not good. Called my Dr office my Dr was on vaca I was told to not eat 2 hrs before I go to sleep and that should help. I found some otc med that is strictly for acid you can take and it feels like it numbs as it goes down it is called Gaviscon in liquid form. It works so fast I have only have used it twice. Once on Friday when everything bothered me I really could not eat anything. I found it at the store on lunch and it made me feel better. Then to be on the safe side I took a dose right before bed and had no problems. I looked it up on web md and I guess I have bad acid reflux and i am trying to not have anything that they listed that causes the acid except I have coffee I am just cutting it back to a small cup. So I am trying.Love you all and wish us all good vibes and strong wills to get through this battle of ours.

No I am here reading:biggrin:

So I called my Dr office and unless it is an emergency I can not come in this week b/c my Dr is not there this week. I called because of the acid. They said make sure I wait 2 hrs after I eat before I lay down and that my head is elevated. I said I am not sure if 2 Hrs pass before I lay down and I would keep track of it. They said also to try Prilosec I normal take Zantec before I go to bed. I said I would keep a log and let them know friday what is going on. Basically because I can have liquids and solid with no real problems that it is not an emergency

Welcome aboard Kelly Just jump in

Thanks for understanding maybe he did not think this was a life long process. i am not sure we will have to tal about it more It is funny I have my journal but have not written in it yet. Not so much funny as nothing is going on at work to really write about `````````````````````````````````````````````````` To All So I found out yesterday my health insurance is not a group plan say like Atena it is a reinbursment plan. Meaning I pay for everything up front then I can some money back. Well that won't work. So right now we pay $1300 a month in Cobra. Now I have to find another job even though it was getting better. Uggh my fault I should have asked more questions

Fickle is the word to use I am the same way. Yesterday I PB on stuff I have ate before I guess I ate to fast. It is so cold here right now. We have sleet yesterday and snow in extreme north Ga So I found out yesterday my health insurance is not a group plan say like Atena it is a reinbursment plan.

Charlene - I didn't mean to jinx you. I was just saying the first two day are the hardest for me. I understand what you are saying however my dh and I have some problems right now and if I did that I would be divorced but I do try to do it with everyone else. That you for the advice though Tx - congrats on the Weight loss keep up the good work. I hope your shoulder is doing well as well

So is they forget LOL Like who put them in charged Thanks Shrink Me for the advice and yes pwople can be mean. My BFF who has never had the surgery has really been the only one to support me. Should thought about Bypass but it is not for her she supports me and has never had anything bad to say. It is nice because she of course has the same problems as me as far as eating for the wrong reasons and she will talk to me until I can work through my problem. She is the one I worked out with in the past with a trainer and is the one that I am going to start going to the pool next week with.

Apples - I am hanging in there. I think I am going to journal at work when I have a very bad day then maybe I won't eat. We all know my feelings on exercise it used to be fun for me when I got to work with a trainer and got to box and he used to beat me up, or basically work my but off I hated it when I was doing it and bitched the whole way he would laugh but keep pushing me. But I can't pay for that right now. I have to do it on my own. My BFF and I will start going to the pool this week and work out together. (We were supposed to start last week but it did not work out) Why is it when you work so hard then you get smacked in the face with all the goodies you should not eat. All your friends, family keep wanting you to do great but keep feeding or bringing stuff in the house you should not have. WTF is that and then they complain about your health and lifestyle when they catch you eating junk.

You go girl keep it up. I always have trouble getting past the first two days I crash by dinner The almonds thing sounds like a good idea. Even though I do the SF thing I agree with what you stated it does make me crave more so what else do you do beside the Almond thing? I need some more ideas to get over these sugar cravings.

I love the pics pf the wedding it looked so beautiful and you did as well. Too cute a quarter never would thought of that costumn. Well everyone I am hanging in there. I think I am going to journal at work when I have a very bad day then maybe I won't eat. Sat I took my soon to see some up and coming wrestlers and so wrestlers when I was younger like Lex Luger. He did not look good but he signed my sons collectable card. I also say Reid Flair Rick Flair son he is too cute. I think he is in in 20's. All in all hanging in and getting things done.

You guys are Too Cute

Jewel - Congrats you are just so busy. I am proud of you and your dream of nursing. Making that come true. You can do it. Debbie - Thank you for the update and it is so nice to meet you.

I am trying to stay positive so we will all be able to do this just take it one day at a time. That is all we can do right? 10 pounds in a month is doable. Heck 5 will be great as well. Hang in their girl lord knows I have had alot of downs but I am trying.

Julie - I am so glad the wedding went well for everyone!!!!

Chris Good Luck tomorrow you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the advice

I am in as well

Okay so why is it when you go swimming you feel like you are starving after you are done. Is it better to have a snack before or after you swim. I guess before if I am having dinner when I get home. any advice on what type of snack?

When I go to the Dr I have to take the whole day off just because he is an hour and half away and he never runs on time. By time I go back to work it is like what is the point. But I have not gone with this new job I am trying to feel them out I have only go to one visit whith my diabetes Dr but was able to do that during lunch since I work around the corner. Well everyone I am hanging in there work is doing; at least it is a job. My BFF and I are going to start swimming at the pool doing laps to start. It is $50 for 90 days for the pool this is the place I normally take my son during the summer. They have two indoor pools so we should be good. We are taking it slow since we have not really done an exercise excepting walking but not really walking like for a set time just when we go places. So I am taking advice from everyone and taking it slow and 1 Day at a time. Love you all thanks for the support.

I am so happy and proud of you. I pray you can get in the hospital after you test like you stated. 1st 5k awesome and I am glad your son is doing well. Chris - I am so happy for you a whole new start with a fixed shoulder than the lapband that is awesome they are going to do that in the same surgery.

I understand completly

Yes tools in our tool box is great LOL let us know what you think

Seems like we are simaler to what we can it.

It is frustrating. I usually have to get thin a crispy pizza or is we go to a pizza placethat does not offer that than I just eat the toppings. Almonds as far as nuts go are a good fat however most of the time cause trouble for me oh well we are all different right
