NSV - my underwear are getting too big.

That's so funny what you say to Bailey. We say weird stuff to our pets too. Our new scruffy faced beasty, Gracie, has a song we sing to her: "She's got Wilford Brimley eyebrows". Keeley Anna talks all the time and tells us how smart she is and how loyal and how she is the bestest animal in the house. Of course, we have to translate for her, but she is quite clear. Our biggest cat, Fatso, also has a song: "Fatso, Fatso man. He wants to be a big fat man". Etc. etc. Yes, the dog dialing 911 rocks. Dogs are so amazing. People who don't have dogs just don't know what they're missing. Like dog hair all over the bed, doggie kibble on the kitchen floor, stinky dog farts in the night . . . .

:tt1::laugh::laugh::biggrin::laugh::thumbup::laugh::tt1: That's priceless!!!!

ooo, I like it!

BRANDY!!!!! Argghhhh!!!! Well, our thoughts will be with you and DH tomorrow and the next day. Let us know how things go.

Nope, no prednisone. No shit elves in my bed either :biggrin:

Let's see . . . how about Puff MDM (munchkin, dee, mini).

I had labs drawn today. We shall see. I have some weird vascular stuff that goes on in my body (autoimmune) and I just never know . . . I can't think I'm low on protein cuz I'm eating a ton of it.

Me too. My CPAP mask left big indentations in my face this morning. Not attractive.

Updating with Greenie's data. Good job!!!

MARCY!!!! Woohoo! Oh, that's a wonderful feeling. Ok, just went to my PCP and had blood drawn to check my electrolytes. We'll see what the deal is . . .

My goal for today is to make SURE I'm not eating hidden sodium. I usually don't worry much about sodium because my BP tends to run low. Weird.

I am voiding regularly and voiding more with more fluids. My BP was 95/70 the other day at the doctor! It's really weird. I'll see if I can get in to see my PCP tomorrow. That's a good idea.

I was a complete wreck the week before my surgery . . . nervous, scared, excited, etc. It will be here before you know it!!!

Okay, ladies. This is weird and I wonder if anyone else has this problem. For the past week or so I have been retaining water like crazy. It's not just my ankles, but in my hands, face, etc. I don't have a uterus or ovaries, so it's not due to TOM, and I never used to have problems with this. I've tried OTC water pills, drinking a ton of water, etc. It's so bad it's making my joints ache. I have a weird hypothesis . . . when you're losing fat from your fat cells, the final products of the breakdown are water and CO2. I'm wondering if this is actually because I'm losing fat. I don't know. That's probably wishful thinking, huh?

Hmmm, I didn't really ask about the Realize band, so I don't have much info to offer.

That's sweet

Ha! That's fabulous.

Biased or not, she's a beautiful girl.

She looks incredible!!! And the dress is fantastic! Good job!

True true true!!!

And I'll have to put one next to me, too, and I'm already frowning about my "progress" last week. booo.
