Come join us. We are bandsters without a local support group, and we're going to meet, say hi, and chat about possibly starting our own group.

We are meeting this Wednesday December 13 at 6:30 PM at Humble City Cafe near the SE corner of the intersection of 1960 and 59, on Main Street.

Let me know if you're coming and I'll make a reservation in the name of Bandsters.

Or at least no more fills until they track down and fix what ails ya!

I KNOW it's bad when you aren't doing queso!!!!!!!

Hey Ladies, Just poppin in to say I hope you're havin a good day. Barbara, hope your unfill is doing what you want it to do and allowing you a break from being sick. Later.

Barbara....Are you thinking that your esophagus swells and that that is the sensitivity? I wonder if there's something that can be done for that......

Hi KittyGlitter!

I have this standard t-shirt that I wear to bum around in. It's been fun going down through the sizes... Today I bought a size smaller than I am curently wearing, and it's not too bad... It's too snug, but not bad at all. I'll get there soon. Now, they do run large in size, but get this...IT"S A MEDIUM!!!!!!! Oy. I don't remember what decade I ever wore a medium.....and I don't really yet, but it's close....

Hey Lana, if you are out there, I'm going to Tai Chi Thursday if you want to meet there.....

Hey BikerGrammy.....How did you like the DVD?

Barbara-I just read something here about a woman who had chronic esophageal irritation or sensitivity. She didn't feel it, but she just couldn't handle a fill. I should have copied it-sorry. The Dr. told her to cut out salt and put her on a diuretic. No info about whether it worked yet.

Laugh if you will. I think I have found the perfect Protein shake Breakfast. (Hey can you tell I'm feeling better...I'm gabby again!)

EAS or Slim Fast carb control chocolate shake in a blender with 1 spoon of instant coffee, fresh fruit, frozen smoothie fruit, ice, Any whey extra protein, chewable Vitamin, chewable Calcium, and a dollop of Flax Seed Oil. I know...sounds gross, but it gets rid of a lot of requirements at once and takes half the morning to drink it.

Betsy you are soooo funny. Dick brought home the EAS for me. It is really, really good. Especially the chocolate fudge. With 20g of Protein you get a lot. The strawberry is good, but not as good as the fudge. Not sure I would add all that other stuff. Too healthy.

Yes I definitely think its in the esphogus or gall bladder. I think I'll get some tests run after I settle down some. I go back to my GP in September so I'll talk it over with her then. I need to do my colonscopy as I will be a year late in September.

I feel so much better today. We went to La Villa for dinner. I ate my way through it nicely.

Cyndie, LanaJane, Bikergrammy, Barbara, KittyGlitter.....You guys out there? Are we meeting for dinner Monday night? How about 6:15 PM at Black Eyed Pea in Humble? KittyG, can you join us?

Lana-are you going to Tai Chi tomorrow night? I'll be there for the 7PM class.

Can't make dinner. Dick's son will be in town for a very short visit. Have fun.

Anybody else want to go? If not, let's put it off a week.....

Betsy, I can meet for dinner either day but the Monday the 13th would really be easier for me. Just let me know.

13th works for me. Anybody up for someplace in Atascocita?

Atascocita would be great.

13th works for me. I go to Tai Chi so it will need to be 6:15. Let me know where you want to go. There is Panera's where we could get soup and salad, Applebees has low cal dinners, Chillis is OK, and the new Mexican restaurant that is a chain. I can't remember its name.

Ran across this post and thought you might enjoy it...banded 10 years!
