Glad to hear your surgery went well Allykat! I really didn't have a whole lot of gas right after surgery. I did notice I had more gas when I began eating, I took the chewable gas-x for that and it seemed to really help. I've heard that walking helps more than anything, so you're on the right track. Get lots of rest and take it easy for a while. Let us know if you have anymore questions.

I'm pretty sure I didn't start to feel hungry for at least 4 weeks, maybe 5 (I don't remember exactly). I do think I had more swelling than most people though, so maybe that had something to do with it.

ummmmm, yeah, I thought the same thing. I can't believe he made that soap opera comment to Alison and then acted like THAT! Maybe they will have an all ladies show one day??????

Oooooo, that sounds good! Thanks for sharing! I didn't miss the noodles either in this recipe. My 2 year old son even liked it.

That's funny...........but up until a couple of months ago, I really didn't know what they were either. I didn't know one squash from the other, lol. Actually the spaghetti squash kinda reminds me of a pumpkin, in it's smell and the seeds look like pumpkin seeds.

It's sad to say, but friends come and go for whatever reason. Sometimes I think life just gets in the way. DH and I lost our very best friends a couple of years ago (not due to weight loss). I still miss them, but life goes on. If you think weight loss is the reason for this distance between you, I think you should bring it up. I mean, if they are your true friends, and want to salvage your friendship, I think they probably wouldn't mind discussing it with you. I hope it works out for you!

I really want to BUST past my St. Patty's Day goal!!!

Your welcome. Let me know if you like it. Granted, it's not going to taste exactly like real spaghetti, but like I said, I really didn't miss the noodles.

I really don't think it would be too much, because I use less pesto than my sister did (because it is pretty high in calories and fat). She probably used a cup and I only use 1/2 cup, so I think it would be okay.

Hitman, Good luck with your procedure too! Try not worry too much. I assure you, this is the best decision I've ever made regarding my health. Where are you from and where are you having your sugery?

Allykat, The zappy wrist thing looks kinda like a watch that goes around your wrist and it sends tiny shocks through your wrist and it help with the nausea. Everyone else said it worked wonders for them, but I was still nauseous. Bamboobabe is right, keep that ointment on your wrist and it's not that bad. It starts to hurt slightly if it gets too dry. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. Try not to worry too much and get a good night sleep tonight. Your in my prayers and please let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel like posting.

Brina, I am so glad you home and doing so well. If you get nauseated again, you can call Dr. B's office and they can call you in some Phenergan suppositories (not fun to use, but it really helped me). Beware if you use it, it will make you extremely sleepy, so you can't forget to wake up to drink your fluids. Let us know if you have any questions and we will be glad to answer what we can. Take it easy.

Congrats on the weight loss Hazeleye! I updated your stats. I believe St. Patty's Day is March 17th. We all still have plenty of time to meet our goals. GO GREEN!

Congrats luluc and Renewed! Those are some great NSV's!

Thanks for the info! There is a Publix in a town I sometimes shop in that's about an hour away from me. I'll definitely check it out next time I go!

Jeannie, Sorry you are going out of town, but it's not really set in stone yet. I want to make sure the date works for most of us.

I just saw that commercial!!! Oh, I hate them too! It's not enought that they say the phrase once, noooooo they have to say it like 3 times. I think it's ridiculous!

B'fast- slim fast Lunch- Fruit & walnut snack from McD's Dinner- 3/4c. baked spaghetti (made with spaghetti squash instead of noodles), 1/4c. sweet peas Evening snack- glass of Moo Magic Milk

Glad everything went well! Question.......where do you buy greek yogurt? Does Walmart have it?

Are you out of town that whole week or just the 13th? Maybe we could try to meet on the 11th? I'm just curious, are you a supervisor at the post office? My husband is a city carrier in Moultrie and has thought about getting into the supervisor part of it, but he just can't make up his mind. He's likes his route so he will more than like just stick with that. I actually took the test to work in the post office and scored really high on it a few years ago. No openings were available in this area though, then we decided I would stay at home with our son, so it worked out for the best.

Hey Jeannie, I bought some of the chocolate today, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm way under my calories today, so I think I may have a glass later tonight. Yeah, it amazes me how kids flip out over bubble gum flavored stuff. I hate bubble gum flavored anything! Bubble gum flavored milk sounds soooo nasty. I'm excited to see how the chocolate tastes though!
