    GipsyGirl got a reaction from ForkAndMindy in Do any of you take Prozac?   
    I take prozac too - it IS nasty. All that white powder just sticks to your tongue. It is bitter and slimy. Eeew. But I need it. So, I better shut up and take it as a grown up. There! I said it!

    GipsyGirl got a reaction from donna12 in Anyone Losing Hair?   
    hair - I started loosing hair but Protein shakes like Muscle Milk helped me stop it. I also would be covered in bruises all over my body - it looked scary - dr immediately diagnosed me with Vitamin K deficiency. Its all imbalances and changes. Adapt to it.
    Try pre-natals...
    You really can't make yourself not loose weight if you are adjusted properly. First I lost a whole lot, then I stopped loosing for a whole lot of time, then I started loosing slowly when they finally found a green zone for me.
    Don't worry that you cannot follow the diet - just dont get discouraged. Look through this forum - there are hundreds of people with the same problems here. That is why I love it - I did not feel like a failure when I was regaining my weight.
    It took time and psychiatric help ( do not forget - there is always a connection between your mental state and your weight. )
    You cannot change your eating habits if you keep repeating the same things over and over again.
    When I was a waitress the best advice I was given by my manager was that it does not matter how badly you messed up your last table - your next one will not know about it - so you have a chance to do it all over again. And I think thats how life is with lap band, you take one day at a time, one meal at a time, one hungry moment at a time.
    My Lap Band just recently slipped but I still think thats one of the best things that ever happened to me.
    Cheer up!

    GipsyGirl got a reaction from TucsonAnnie in How do I pay my bills?   
    I have had my surgery in October and already paid $450 up front and $250 deposit to my surgeon.
    I have to pay 2,200$ co-pay for the surgery, and a couple hundred for the anestezia.
    The question is - what kind of programms are out there to be able to put all the bills together and have one summ payment every month that you can afford? I do not want to pay too much to be able to do that too. I can pay some accounts in full as they come and pay some portions of the other accounts over time.
    I need some ideas and names. I am not sure what the rules of this website is but if you don't think that you can post it here just try and write a private message to me. ( I am not sure how I set it - it may be available only to my friends )
    So, I am trying not to get ovewhelmed with all these piling bills after my surgery or have someone come to my job to serve me with a lawsuit that I didn't pay my bill in time ( I hear of stories like that )
    Is there a website where you can set up all of you current accounts and pay all of them from that one website - but I cannot pay all the bills at once - I want to be able to pay whenever I get money ( usually it happens every two weeks ) but anyway - I just don't want a program where they automatically take money out of your account to pay your bills, I want to be able to choose when to pay what.
    Are there services like that available to public? I would love to have your input. That would definetely make my life easier.
    Thank you!
