I've been piddling around with the same spreadsheet since about 8:45 am. I just want to go home!! I'm gonna go run some errands, that'll make the day go faster!

Laura - so sorry you're feeling cruddy. But on the bright side, how many pounds will you have lost!! LOL, stay positive!! Oh one tip, when you're taking horse pills and you feel like the pill is just sitting there no matter how much water you take, have a cookie. It works for me. One cookie chewed up really well takes that pill right on through. It works! Gorgeous day today! Supposed to get up in the sixties. And on Sunday it's supposed to get up to 76! Yay! We'll grill outside for the first time in a few months! Jane - did you ever hear back from your doctor about your reflux? Maybe a little bit of an unfill is what you need... I've been trying to get organized for a garage sale next weekend. I have so much stuff! A garage full! I'm gonna start listing some stuff on craigslist.org this weekend. So glad it's Friday!!!

I looovee Paula Deen! She's crazy but I love her! So I think that my restriction is getting better. I did liquids again today during the day. For dinner tonight I grilled some chicken breasts and steamed some broccoli. Took me almost an hour to eat half a chicken breast with about half a cup of broccoli. One more day of liquids during the day and then a solid dinner. I'll try eating a solid breakfast on Saturday and see how it goes. What pictures is everyone talking about? I scrolled back all the way to this morning... I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday! One more day... I'm so exhausted this week, i don't know why. Like I said I think I might be starting to get sicky poo... Everyone have a good night! Kisses, Haydee

hee hee hee Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with which to share his fortune. One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars." Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother. Women are so much better at estate planning than men.

YAY JENN!! Keep us updated! We'll have our fingers and toes crossed for you!!

Judy, thanks for getting all the tips over on the new thread. I love that I can scroll through and find the one I've been looking for! Well the liquid diet didn't work so well. I was about ready to gnaw my own arm off yesterday around 6pm. I had coffee, slim fast and water most of the day. So then for dinner we went to a vietnamese restaurant and I got a bowl of pho ga, which is vietnamese chicken noodle soup. Ate all of the chicken and broth and left the noodles. I'm gonna try again today to see if I can do the same. Liquids all day and then a sensible dinner. Maybe what didn't work was that I didn't get anything substantial in me during the day. Like a creamy soup. I'll do that today and see if it helps.

Thanks Jenn. I think I might have stretched my pouch so I'm trying to do liquids to see if I can shrink it back down again. I was gonna go do a check with flouro with my fill doctor but I'm gonna try it this way first. Hope it works. Just started sipping my slim fast. Yuck. :tongue:

Judy, how many hours, days and weeks till our trip? :tongue:

Me and my band are fighting right now. :tongue: I'll see what terms we're on this Saturday after I come off of liquids. Hey, if i'm doing liquids do you guys know if that means clear liquids or am I allowed like Slim Fast and creamy soup. Terry? You have any idea?

Off to get my coffee...

I think I'm starting to get sick too. Itchy throat, headache last night. I didn't even make dinner. We had chili from Wendy's. I'm gonna do liquids for three days starting today. Let's see how that goes...

I had a piece of cake... german chocolate.

Gina, do you think that getting on liquids for a few days helped you in your restriction? I think I'm having the same problem you had a few weeks ago. I think my pouch might be stretched because I have good restriction but can still eat a good amount.

Ok Judy, you called shotgun so you're in the front!

well, I think I might do that anyways before i so see her and see if I feel any different. I'll do it next week starting Monday, okay Terry? Where can we go where I can have broth? He he he... Just kidding... I'll do it this week, Wednesday Thursday and Friday and i'll see how I feel this weekend... This is perfect because I started TOM today and otherwise I would have eaten everything under the sun!

Working on my lunch right now. It's a burrito in a bowl with no tortilla. Black beans, a little rice, lettuce, chicken and some pico de gallo. Yum. It's going slow!

Kat - I have so much trouble with oranges now. I almost PB'd on Sunday with one. It finally went down but not before I made a fool of myself in front of my family. I had to walk around fast, flapping my arms and beating my chest. Everyone was laughing at me!!

I think about it all the time. What could I do to be my own boss? So many people have home based businesses but I don't even know where to begin!

I would love to Ms. Jen. I just haven't figured out what I can do at home!

We don't mind chatty, Laura! I'm sipping on a cup of hot coffee right now. It's taking it's sweet time going down. My restriction is so weird right now. Liquids take forever going down. I can actually feel them backing up. And I burp alot, like little burps, while I'm drinking. But food? No problem. I mean, I have restriction, but I can still eat a good size amount. So. I guess I need to run back to my fill doctor and get checked to make sure I didn't stretch my pouch. Can I shrink it back down if I have?

yay laura!! I'll be jumping for joy the day I can actually wear an 18. I've been stuck in these 20's for awhile... I'm a total pear. I have yet to put a thing in my mouth today and it's almost 11 am. I've been in a bad mood all morning. Sigh. I hate that I'll talk to Juan about something and he only half listens to me. Then the next day or a few days later he tells me the same thing like it's the first time I heard it when I'm the one who originally told him. Most of the time I just brush it off and pretend it's the first I've heard of it. But when he told me something today that I was talking to him about a few days ago and then he said "Just so you know". GAH!!! that just took me over the edge. Just so I know? I'm the one who told you three days ago!!! Lord please help me not strangle this man...

ugh, doing so bad with my water today. it's just gurgling down so slowly. I've only had one liter so far. Had a cup of coffee for breakfast (i know, so bad...) Half a cup tuna salad with wheat crackers for lunch a handful of my co-workers cheetos for snack ( i know, another great choice...) For dinner I am making chicken parmigiana (sp?) with grilled zuchinni... I'll be starving in about an hour and I have some turkey slices that I'm gonna much on...

Pam - I'm sure there will be plenty of shampoo and conditioner to go around! Remember I'm not flying so if ya'll want I can bring stuff so that ya'll don't have to check your luggage. PM me and let me know... May is right around the corner!! Can't wait!!

Jenn - good luck on Thursday, hope this one pans out for you... Pam - ugh, I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better. I'm not sure pretzels have protein but right now you should just concentrate on getting your tummy better... Suzie - how did you know I was bad this weekend, he he he! I didn't have DQ but I had a snow cone. Not so bad! ice and syrup... Denise - I can't imagine what you're going through right now. To see what your daughter is going through and to feel helpless to do anything about it. Prayer does help... Please remind me what her name is and I will begin saying a Liberation Rosary for her. Terry - he he he, I hardly ever logon the computer during the weekends. Not so much cuz I have so much going on in RL but just because I try to forget about the computer during the weekend. I work on it all week long and I don't even want to touch it on my off time! Tracy - staph causes boils? How did you get staph? The sun came out today!!! And this weekend too!! It was a glorious weekend here in Houston. Sunny but cool. We BBQ'd outside yesterday. Man, I'm so ready for summer. It felt so good to have the sun shining on me. I truly do get depressed when it's dark and gloomy for days. I don't know why the weather affects me so much... Gonna drink some coffee and try to get started on my water... Have a great Monday ya'll!

Oh and TracyKS, I looovvvee ghost stories and from what I gathered you might have some pretty scary ones? You've gotta share them with me!
