Me neither, that's why I was asking YOU lol! I thought you were the one who said you tried it. In any case, I just ordered some from walgreens (I could just go down the road, but I get anxiety looking through their stuff.. bunch of idiots work there). I'll let ya know how it turns out.

My doctor doesn't tell me to do anything special for fills. I normally eat the inside of an Arby's sandwhich on our way there.

It says beneprotein is made of-- Whey protein isolate (milk) & soy lecithin.

Just wanted to let anyone interested know.. I decided to take prenatal Vitamins too for nails & (fingers crossed!) hair. I was trying to find a good chewable one, and some pregnancy website recommends 4- Chewable Prenatal Vitamins - LoveToKnow Pregnancy Precare is extremely expensive, Natachew is out of stock at the moment..Bronson is the cheapest, so I'm going to try those.

Wasa- was it you that has tried the beneprotein? If so, is it just like benefiber in its magical way to completely dissolve into food?

I have tried the unjury and matrix, and couldn't stomach them. Then Lauren was nice enough to send me some samples of ones she liked.. I tried the Nectar fuzzy navel for this morning, and I have to say I finally found one I can tolerate. It's by no means a treat, and I find myself holding my breath during most of it.. BUT.. it's not horrible like the matrix & unjury were to me. I can drink it! I have about 1/3 of the glass left, this is going to be the first time I have ever been able to finish a protein shake!!! It's like a tangy OJ.. I was thinking of mixing in an oz of OJ with it after it was made. Anyone tried this? Or maybe blending it with a banana for a tropical smoothie type thing. I'm going to experiment with this now that I found a flavor I can use.. time to go buy the 5lb bag lol.

Lunasa- All the cats and dog are indoor animals. So when we're at work, we lock the dog in her bedroom (lol, the 'guest room') with her toys and a tv. Cats have free reign of the rest of the house. I always leave tvs on in a room for everybody so they hear talking and stuff. That's why I know Cassy likes that I take her walking now. We put her out in the backyard for 5 minute intervals and she runs around, we're just scared she'll get out. In the history of everywhere we've lived, she's gotten out.. but now we live near the interstate and directly in front of a HUGE cotton field.. so I'm afraid if she gets out here, we'd never see her again. She's very well trained too, our only problems with her, is her excitement level when people visit. She can't contain herself, even if I make her sit down, her whole body is wiggling with anticipation. She's 2 years old, so hopefully that'll change in a year or so!

It was a soup day! I woke up really craving homemade chili.. And settled for the chicken soup which was good. I had a hard time getting PUDDING down. I mixed benfiber in it (debating mixing some of this matrix chocolate protein powder in it, but couldn't risk ruining my taste for pudding). Benefiber is so amazing. I put a full tbsp in a little pudding cup, and it really 100% dissolves into absolutely nothing. YAY! They need to just add this to EVERY food for the sake of having it. "Sugar Free Jello Pudding, 3g of fiber in every cup!" Without bein too graphic, my poos have been horrid lately. Between constipated, and really hard. So trying to remember my fiber!!

I haven't run since my flop on the gym's tredmill at work a while ago. Running isn't exactly comfortable for me, it's mostly my boobs. They try to poke my eyes out! I think I need to find a good sports bra, the one I currently have fits like a tanktop on me. I never use my ipod, now I have an excuse. And I hate going out in the neighborhood without my dog, who is big enough not to make me look silly. But if I'm running, I feel like they'll be watching me (or my boobs). Perhaps night time is best for me!! But I DLed the podcast for week 1 and I got it set up on my IPod. Let's do it! (I'm going to do Mondays, wednesdays, fridays)

Ughhh.. I'm getting really frustrated with the tightness of my band. It's so painful!!! I made 3 meatballs and 1/4c of white corn. After eating a nibble off of a meatball and a bite of corn.. I could feel my band squeezing it shut. It was painful. Spit up slime and meatball. It's 9:30 at night, and I am this tight. YEESH. So decided I'm not eating it. Tried to eat a ritz chip (which normally go down with no problem). Stuck, pain. I guess it's on to SF pudding next. I need dinner. We had that soup for lunch, I could reheat it, but after the meatball incident I'm afraid it'll get stuck too.

I had pudding the first week post-op.

Sadly DH hasn't noticed the jewelry!! They're for me really, without going into it He didn't come to bed last night, was up till 10am playing video games with his friends. My parents decided to go to Tunica this weekend last minute, I SO wish they invited me to go. I love gettin away. Room service & pay per view & slots. Mmm. Instead, they called and said I'm my sister's go-to person while they're gone. She's all suicidal and drama drama lately. I told them that's not such a good choice, because they coddle her, but when she does this stuff, my opinion is.. toughen up, you're the most spoiled person I've ever met, you don't know what having it bad even means. So stop having a poo-poo on me party. But anyway, I'm suppose to call her every night and make sure she's alive. Me and DH cleaned the house and set up the guest room!! I'm so excited, it's so nice. I even hung up posters. Now I need to finish unpacking the boxes we through in that room. I made a new recipe tonight, YUM. And DH pointed out how filling it was, he had 1/2 bowl and has been full 6 hours so far. Wanted to make chili, but I'm out of any ground meat So, I found a cornish hen soup recipe. I added some of my own things, but this was how it went-- Sizzle the chicken (in pieces) in oil for a couple minutes till brown, then add a sliced up onion, minced garlic, salt & pepper.. cook till onions are tender (suppose to add carrots & celery too.. but don't like those in food). Then added about 4cups of chicken broth, thyme and sage. Boiled for about 30 minutes, till chicken was cooked and potatos soft. Took chicken out, pulled it off the bone. Added cornstarch to the soup mix, made it thick, put the boneless chicken back in.. Cooked a little longer. Wonderful!! I took pics of my animals with a pumpkin tonight, made prints at cafepress to hang on my wall. I think I'll do one for each holiday and then just 'normal' and rotate them out throughout the year. I have this spot on the wall in the living room where I have all my animal stuff. Anyway, here's the pics that I am putting on the walls- Apollo (Ragdoll.. my sissy boy) Pandora (Ragdoll.. my old lady cat, she wouldn't have anything to do with the pumpkin) Gracie (Ragdoll rescued mix... She posed for all kinds of cute pics with the pumpkin!!) Cassy (Boxer.. our lil sweetheart, by this pic, I had about 15 pics of her and she was gettin tired of pics and I fussed at her to sit down and stay.. hence the 'mooooom' look..)

Indeed, having kids was a factor for me getting surgery. I want to have them

I think I'll join ya'll, but I don't know if I can move past 2 weeks for a while. Who knows, maybe I will.. but at this point I'm just bug-eyed looking at it!!

Yes! Pavlova! And coke in the US was my biggest addiction. MMMMM. If we had it in the house, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself. 7 months sober rofl.

You posted while I was posting. Congrats Pam!! WOWEEE! Ok going to check my scale, maybe I have exciting news.......... 279.0 That's good considering I been bouncing to 282, and I've been 279 2 days in a row now.. next time it will be bouncing DOWN!

Pam the earrings are so pretty I have tricked DH. I keep sayin I want to do the haunted house stuff, and he groans. Tonight one of my friends who is now a musician and I get to do his CD's (hehe!) is on tour and he is coming to town tonight. I told DH we have to go to be supportive.. Anyway, going to go stop by just to say hi and then I'm taking him to haunted houses! Mwhahah! I forgot about the sea salt water, and booby is much happier today but I am going to do the water anyway..

oh my goodness, I was reading what the 'plan' is, wouldn't I die doing all that? LOL!!

This is what I was-- our distinct personality, The Benevolent Ruler might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are the idealistic social dreamer. Your overriding goal is to solve the people problems of your world. You are a social reformer who wants everyone to be happy in a world that you can visualize. You are exceptionally perceptive about the woes and needs of humankind. You often have the understanding and skill to readily conceive and implement the solutions to your perceptions. On the positive side, you are creatively persuasive, charismatic and ideologically concerned. On the negative side, you may be unrealistically sentimental, scattered and impulsive, as well as deviously manipulative. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

LOL!! We don't get snow or ice, but 60 IS burrrr now. I use to love it being cold.. Waaah. But I don't miss my layers of insulation

Makes me wanna steal the baby ;D

It is getting cold, I've felt like an ice cube for 2 days now. Since losing weight, I'm no longer sharing the 'lets always keep it cold in the house' mentality with my husband We use to love keeping it at 60 degrees in the house.. now it's just him and I feel like I'm gonna die!!! I currently have 3 layers on, fuzzy socks, a sweater and an afghan in my lap. I just bumped the A/C up to 68.. I been doing this every once in a while and he goes around fussing about that's why he's been sweating lol.

I have a jar of vegemite on my shelves, as a 'novelty' LOL.

Oh dear. I didn't realize Australia didn't have all that stuff?! I went there for foreign exchange when I was 15, and I swear I didn't eat for a month. All the meat tasted like minty.. no matter what it was, or how it was cooked. And then some big fluffy pastry type cake with cocktail fruit in it.. blech. And vegimite?! I could have saved some lap-band money and moved there for a year I did find it very interesting the difference in foods there. And coca-cola in Australia was not yummy either.

Oh and one more thing.. Boredom does stupid things to me. I was laying in bed, and I use to have a lot of 'riskay' piercings.. I took them out for different reasons, but.. I found my box of body jewelry and out of curiosity I cleaned them with alcohol and went to see if my nipples were still pierced. Low and behold, they were.. even though I've not had them in for years. So I put some in.. and today at work my left one was KILLING ME!!! I got home, and looked, it's all pus-y (I hate typing that word). And nipple is bright red. Stupid me, right? Should have left them alone. I took it out and put neosporin all over my boob lol. I hate boredom moments that lead to trouble.
