Hmmm, I loved Hall and Oats, Rick Springfield, Barry Manilow (I know, I know!) Michael Jackson, The Gap Band, Santana, Aerospeedwagon, Air Supply! I was and still am a gigantic nerd!!

Barry Manilow, I so had a crush on him when I was 12 or so, I still think he is a cutey and like his music.:w00t:

Shelbi, I just love you.

Right back at ya, sweetie!

:w00t:

I remember now, the other southern BELLE on here. Mama says you can say anything when you add "bless your heart".:cool2:

Yes, m'am. We belles must mind our mama! "Life is so much nicer with a sweet smile and a "bless your heart"!" (said in my best Scarlette O'Hara voice).

AHHHHHHH!!!

I was reading an article in O magazine today and it was on medications and do they cause you to gain weight? I am currently on six medications ( two more for the back ) and guess how many of my six cause weight gain????? Of all the medications I take, half of them cause weight gain. Four of them cause sleep disturbance.

My band is definately doing it's job.

As I whittle away and rehab and recovery on the back I find more and more things popping up. Needless to say, I'm stopping two of the medications and switching to Tylenol.

I have an appt. with the doctor to review the other four. I am going to begin going off of one of them. The one for panic disorder. I'm changing the Effexor I take for depression because there is a viable option with lesser side effects.

Something tells me once the meds are squared away I will give Dee a run for her weight loss money!!! (grins)

You got it Lap!!!

There is no one else I'd rather pay that Weight Loss Monies to - as much as you!

I wish you could come too! I'd give you a BIG HUG!

Hey, I went to Dick's (sporting goods store) AND bought a Huge Ball! Actually, I bought two balls! HA! One small, one larger! They were on sale! Core Stability Balls, to be exact! Anyway, I've been using them and they are really great! Only problem is -- mine is 96inches around and I can't get it out of my bedroom! ARGH!

Shelbi, I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard you were throwing my good name around AND blaming me for being bad on the Loser's Bench! Is this true? Did you tell one of the New Banditos to watch out for me on the bench?

Don't be causing trouble! Keep your hands to yourself!! AND be nice!

Lap-What issue was this article in? I would like to read it. I used to take Effexor until Feb when I got pneumonia-I was too sick to care about taking my meds and quit cold turkey (and was too sick to care about the withdrawal symptoms). I need to start something for depression again but I am very hesitant to start Effexor again (even though it worked great for me). I would like to see what that article has to say!

I have one of those in my basement that I forgot I even had-I need to blow it up and start using it.;)

Well, one good thing about all this stress is that I have actually been frustrated enough to walk, and walk, and walk on my treadmill. But not so good when I am hardly eating...;)

I don't want to drink barium in the morning....BLECH!!!!!

You can sit next to me! I'd not sit next to Shel, because she tends to be a bit irritating at times! Poking, pinching, squirming!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
