Aww teacher. I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad.

Yuck that is no fun. I just too my first pills after banding yesterday and luckily they went down ok. I was pretty fr4eaked out about it at first though. Good luck with the hot tea.

Here maybe this link will help. http://www.irritable-bowel-syndrome.ws/uk-ibs-supplements.htm

Metamucil is a powder you mix with water that give you more fiber for regularity. I am not sure what it would go by in the UK but try looking in the vitamin and supplement area of the store and find something that you mix with water for extra fiber. The metamucil is usually orange flavored.

Louise, have you tried adding more fiber to your diet or some metamucil?

I have a z pack too. The pills split very nicely and I was able to take both of them though I waited about 2 minutes in between each piece. I don't ever get sick so this really does suck for me. I am trying really hard to get my water in today. I want to get the exercise in too I think that might be pushing it.

Bronchitis it is. Ugh. Pilates has nothing on this coughing ab workout.

Congrats girl!!!!!!

Well the doctor says it is brochitis....yuck. The only good thing is now I am on some prescription meds to make it feel better and I have an inhaler which makes a world of difference. I just want this coughing to stop. My tummy is dying from the workout it is getting. And I am happy to report that I did get the antibiotic down though I had to split the pills in half to take them.

Lapbandit you look amazing!

Teacher I think I have the same thing you do. My sinus allergy part has gotten better but the coughing...oh my lord you can take it and throw it away. I would take the sinus part back in a second if I knew I would never have to cough again.

Does coughing count as an exercise? I think I have had some aerobic coughing going on over here. I feel like I am dying. My stomach muscles hurt so bad every time I cough and I get into these huge coughing fits that I can't stop. Ohhh it hurts so bad.

Yeah I was not feeling any restriction so I just kept making appointments. My doctor is very good about accomodating his patients needs and believe me I needed those fills!

I had my band done by Dr. Bacal at Oakwood in Dearborn. I had an excellent experience from start to finish. Terri, the bariatric coordinator there is awesome. She is so helpful in answering any questions and getting you through the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They have a monthly seminar with people who are interested in the surgery. Here is the link to their website. http://www.oakwood.org/?id=170&sid=1

Diddi you are doing a great job translating. And people can I just say holy friggin restriction??? I got my 4th fill yesterday to a total of 2.0cc (1 was at 1.5 before that). Now I really know what restriction feels like. I am so darn full. I had a yogurt for breakfast and could only finish 3/4 of it. Lunch and dinner were probably a little more than 1/2 cup of food and I was stuffed after both of them.

My first really big NSV. I have nothing nice to wear to church tomorrow because it is all too BIG. I usually spend an hour every holiday crying because everything is so tight and looks terrible and now I am going to spend an hour crying because I am so damn happy and I cannot believe it.

Happy Easter everyone!!!!

Thanks guys I am just so freakin excited. I did manage to find a pair of pants from about 5 years ago that fit and a shirt that used to be very tight and is now probably a size too big. I just have to remember to start checking these things sooner than the night before!

Just go to www.tickerfactory.com and follow the instructions.

Well it is the end of the day and I got the exercise in just in time. I am bound and determined to figurre out how to do that damn core rhythms dvd. Today was a bit easier but still nothing I would ever do in public. Though at work today I did find when I was standing at some racks counting things that I was swinging my hips trying to practice! lol

I am dealing with a lot of sadness and anger with food. When I am full and can't finish what I wanted to eat I get seriously pissed off. I feel so mad and angry and I can't even explain why. It is almost every other day, it just seems like I want to sabotage myself and then I get even more frustrated that I can't do it.

Suzanne I had three weeks were my scale either did not move or I only lost a pound. Then the next week I took off 4 pounds and took off 3 more on the week following that. Well I got my Water in today....now just the exercise.

I know!!!! The weather is horrible and driving me bonkers!

Well I think there is a plastic surgeon coming this month. Now I only ahve to figure out how to get some free plastic surgery lol.
