I am glad you are finally feeling better. How is your sister doing??

Let me tell you how much I love my Personal Blender. We have a policy here at work that if you leave something in the fridge it will be tossed out over the weekend if not taken out Friday. Anyway I spaced it out when I left but remembered and came in early Sat. It was tossed out so guess who was digging in the trash for it.. I did manage to find it and will not be putting it in the fridge again.. LOVEIT

OMG Scarryyyyyyyyyyyyyy My son would love it.. I tell you that is all he talks about these days, What are we doing for Halloween??? Cannot show him the site cause then he is gonna want me to drive down.

When were you banded? 07/16/2004 What was your weight ON DAY OF SURGERY? 240 give or take a pound What is your weight now? 167.00 (my goal 160.00) What size do you wear? 14 or 12's How tall are you? 5'3 around there

Good Luck Vines will miss you in route to your destination. Hurry Back:)

Good Luck, You know that old saying each time is different. My first was great and the second was horrible. Here's wishing you a uneventful Pregnancy..

Lila Baggins of Bywater --Ooohh I like Lila

Throw the damm scale out.. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee You are on the right track those numbers do not mean a thing.. You are seeing it in your health and in your clothes.. I have seen the same dang number since May and it is frustrating but I need to keep going, so do you and you can I know it:) You are doing so awesome in your posts and replies to keep as all going on our journey You give us hope that one day we too will be running around or smaller clothes or dropping at least one medication at a time. Those numbers will drop soon enough just keep on what you are doing. Best wishes Vines - don't hit the delete button cause you inspire us to think different about ourselves.

Good news is the Doc does not think the burning sensation I have is reflux since I do not feel it anywhere below the collar bone. But alas still cannot sleep lying flat always have to be propped up so the answer to that is yes you do have reflux at night. Remedy - no eating 3 hours before bed. On Wed's have an appt with Ear, Nose & Throat doc to address the burning sensation as well as this. I have been getting dizzy when I am standing and have to kinda watch my balance. Doc say inner ear infection - So I was put on Zithromax till my appt which works for me. Got a fill cause I was eating everything I could.. Anyway I am at 1cc's and hopefully will not have any other problems. Such as my Lymph Nodes swelling to the size of grapes this past weekend.. Doc Says sinus, So thus the reason to see the ENT get it all done with one doc..

Back from Appt with ENT Doc. Well he put the mirror down my throat and says he does not see anything and I should not worry. He believes even though I do not feel the reflux ,it is some sort of reflux. I am to try Nexium for 2 weeks and go back and see him again. He also thinks the swelling is a sore throat from a virus. Anyway I was relieved that he said my throat looks normal.. Thank God I was worried So here we go again with reflux medication So far no problems with my fill so we will see what happens.

Lisa that was an very sweet of you to do that for the poor kitty. Needless to say your co-worker is heartless.. How could she run it over and not have taken the time to pick it up herself:( Anyway I would to check if anyone puts up flyers or in the lost ad's..

We were at an outdoor concert the other day and this gal walked infront of me. Well I turned to my sis and I say gosh I would be happy if I was that size (14 or 12). She gave me this puzzled look then say's but you are that size. I looked at the gal again and was floored because I did not see it almost cried.. So every now and then I will pick some one out in the crowd and ask my husband am I that size. Drives him nuts cause he just does not understand how I cannot see the differance. It reminds me of a episode of (Without a Trace) where a gal got a whole body makeover just like on the swan and in the end she just was not happy with the results, the only thing she worried about was she did not get her ears done and she was a beauty. I love that the size of my clothes getting smaller and that my husband is now towering over me and that I can sit my booty on my childs chair with out breaking it. Maybe one day the light bulb will come on:) But over all it is very interesting

You know Vines I agree. I had my 1 year appt and they took pictures but even though I see a thinner photo, when I look in the mirror I see a fat me. Even though I could see the differance on paper I could not get the fat me out of my head. What should have been a happy visit was depressing. I am now at the point I do not want to look in the mirror cause fat me is all I see.. I need to be more positve when I look in the mirror to see me how I really look to the world but somewhere the wires are not touching.

I am still working on it.. really want to be there:)

Day 2 of my Medication and the burning is gotten better and do not have the dizzy feeling when I stand up. Paula he says that usually heartburn or reflux is felt from the tummy up thru the esophigus and my burning is in the back of the throat. And he says the reason or what he thinks at night what happens is I still have something in my pouch when I lay down is what is coming up.. Crazy but reflux I say is the word for it.. There is no certain food that causes it, I could be in between meals or take a drink of Water and It will come on.. I will chew tums or even take a pepcid and it does nothing for it.. It is like when you are getting a real bad sore thoat and it burns. I say that somehow it is related to the Sinus drainage down my throat.. But who knows I just hope the Doc is gentle with me tommorrow cause last time he stuck this big old needle in my nose.. Must have been a good 6 inches:( As for the feeling dizzy - Have you ever tried on someones glasses or if you wear glasses for the first time. Your head kinda swoons? That is how I was feeling. It was not all the time but enough to have me worried. Hopefully we can come up with a reason, But I do think it is the middle ear or crappy sinus again Just attacking me in a whole new way.. If it was not for this problem I would say I feel great.. Paula how are you doing with your reflux???

Lisa you Rock. I love what you did to your hair.. Aaamom - You have some very cute kiddios there and love the little puppy & Cat Too Kelly your flowers are beautiful. What is the name of the ones come from the neighbors Yard? I love purple flowers

A gal here usually brings a thing called Queso (cheese). Anyway you cook hamburger and when it is done and drained toss it in the crockpot. You then add velvetta cheese and a jar of Picante sauce. She brings that and a bag of Tortilla chips and it like having Nacho's. I will usually have alittle bit of it but cannot each as much as I would love to.. Good Luck

update.. Momma came back and is tending to them. Hubby is going to check and make sure they are all doing ok since they (the crew) displaced the poor innocent babies.. He says if they are not all doing good he will bring them home and also try to get the momma.. Thanks you all. By the way I do think we have a wild animal place here...

As you all know my husband works installing sewer pipes for new deveolpments.. Anyway yesterday when they were making a man hole they destroyed a Bunny nest and needless to say 6 babies are without a home and the momma ran away. He went back this morning to get his thermos and he says they are still there huddled together. Now should I bring them home??? Should I let nature takes it's course?? Don't know much about raising bunnies, I know he does and we have wild one living close by if not under the shed in the back yard..

Congrats Everday is a new day and you will be feeling alot better.

Oh poor you.. Hope you get to feeling better:)

Good Luck:) Keeping everything crossed for you

Don't know how to play video games to save my life. Last one I played was Pac Man. My husband is my second marriage and we have been together 10 yrs (miracle) t first sight I already knew he would be the one I would marry. (ran for the door I did) I am in the process of going back to school to get my GED and then take a course in Medical Billing. I love to go camping but hate to set up or tear down.. My husband loves to fish but we never catch any.

I seem to have ducks around my house but I do not collect them on purpose. Duck salt shakers, Baby ducks - don't know how it happend..
