armywife4life

I had no problems doing things by myself. The pain was tolerable, and even though my husband was here and could of helped me i took care of myself. Main reason is you have to move, and keep moving and for myself personally i get kind of pissy when im not 100 percent so putting my husband in the line of fire was not going to be ver nice LOL!!

awesome you two, keep up the good work!

Hi everyone, my name is crystal. My husband is 8 years in his military carreer now, 4 years AirForce, and now he is Army. We are stationed in Schweinfurt Germany for right now. I absolutely love it here, we have extended our tour from 3 years to 5 and should be back stateside sometime in 2010. my husband has served a 15 mth tour in the "sandbox" and is courrently spending 60 days in the field training so he can go back again:frown: We have a awsome handful of a son Will who is 3 years old. Hooah!! im looking forward to getting to know you all.

I want to track how many miles i ride my bike. Is their some sort of counter or something i can buy and put on my bike to do this?? thanks, i so want to buy one if their is.

And yes im from the states im from michigan my hubby is from oklahoma.

Also way kudos for the weight loss girl, 100lbs that freak rocks you got it sooooo goin on.

I am trying to use the daily plate, i really like it. But all of sudden it keeps blanking on my food i try to put in. like i put in tomato soup and it wouldn't put it on my food list for today, its driving me nuts. its done this to me a few times. also i created menu and when i click on the food in the menu and try to add it to the day again it doesn't do it. im so frustrated. i need a good calorie counter, and i don't like caloriecount.com. I really like the idea of the daily plate just hate the glitches. sooooooo anyone else have this problem with daily plate or suggestions for a different counter? Thanks i appreciate it.:thumbup:

ya i just have the free membership

You go girl, on track and rockin it!!

im on the ortho evra patch, they never had an issue with it at my hospital

Schweinfurt Germany--love it!!

globally yours, we have the same band date!!! Also, it took like 4 days before i had dirrhea (sp) well i mean when i went it was liquid but i only went like once a day for like 3 days then constipated a lil bit, things are levelling though now problems now.

thank you summer08 my husband just left for 45 days for field training to get ready to go back to iraq, i appreciate that you appreciate your service members they rock!! IM hoping in the next 45 days to shed some weight and surprise him with somethign sexy LOL!!

awesome im checking out their site as we speak.. im looking at the cateye strada cadence cycle computer. I think this is the same one you have. How long have you had it? Does it track the mile pretty accurate? Thanks oh and LBS?? what is that?

Swelling, that is why you felt more right after surgery. Im in the same boat. I was banded on the 27th. I can also feel like i can eat anything with no problem.. Unfortunately im on full liquids still for another week, but i have yogurt, and jello etc with no problem. I also think i could eat alot more. I don't think its a slip unless you have seriously abused your doctors advice, mine gave me 3 weeks of liquids but most only do 1 week then solids?? AS far as ive been able to tell from other posts. I also get the hiccups alot LOL.. I hope you have a doc. appt soon so you will know for sure. I go back on the 29th. Good luck!!

Okay so i had surgery on the 27th, they say the first 6 weeks is about healing so i so i have not weighed my self yet, i will find out what i weigh on the 29th, its tough but after reading so many posts about people so worried im glad i have made the commitment. So maybe don't weigh your self for a few weeks, don't stress, stress will keep weight loss slow! Your gonna do great!!

there are alot of people who have issues with that, i saw a thread somewhere just can't remember where. Sorry that it sucks for you!! i think someone said somethign about peeing before and peein after then wiping really well?? dang it can't remember sorry but i still wanted to post and say keep your head up and your crotch cool LOL!! Good luck chicky!@

im on 3 week liquids 1st week clear last 2 full fluids. im also worried, i can eat to much. i mean i can eat the whole can of soup 10 3/4 oz which is like two cups of soup. i dont know if that is to much or not, i cheated yesterday and ate a soft necterine, peeled it first then kinda sucked it and mashed it. i feel full after the soup is gone but i wonder if im just eating to much of it and maybe should only eat half the can?? i usually eat a yogurt in the morning, can of soup for lunch, can of soup for dinner and try to get in 1 protein shake and of course i hit the water hard!!
