Hey Ladies - I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to let everyone know her that my sister just gave birth on 12/01 to my beautiful nephew 7lbs 8oz 20 inches long. I saw him yesterday and he is so adorable and tiny. Compared to my son who was 9 lbs 11oz and 22 inches long. Do you know they lowjack babies now. No lie he had what look like a pager that blinked and was attached to his foot. On another note Arlene if you do start WW let me know what they suggest now. I am trying to eat right but it is hard being wide open. -
Hello Everyone - I got to see my new nephew last night he is so cute. Except now I think i am getting a cold which my sister has. Ugg i am trying to take stuff to battle it early. ANyways he is 7lbs 8oz and 20 inches long. My sister asked me not to post a picture this is her first child and she is being internet protective which I can understand. Well I was alseep then woke up at 2:30am stuffy with a sore throat I just took some motrin but I wanted to say quick hello before going back to bed in case I can't post today. Hugs to all Also I attached Janets sample menu for everyone that was asking

Since I am Diabetic if I take the discountedplan it is not health insurance it is a refund plan. I pay for everything up front then I get something back. Then if I got on a group Health Insurance plan through another comapnay then I would have a year exclusion which my family can not do I have to get out of my head cause I am scared to go back to school. Also I thought about WW not sure if I have the money though Hang in there and just be there for your Mom and Dad I am sorry you and your family are going through this Love the teeth I forgot to share my sister did give birth to my Nephew yesterday before lunch he weighed 7lb 8oz his name is Jack Michael I am at work I will post more later

Meredith missed seeing you post I can agree with you saying your thinking was "thinner for over a year than it switched back. I wish someone could answer that for us. I got to tight and had bad acid reflux my Dr just took half of my saline out and now I am as wide open as when I first had things done. I have gained 3 pounds I am mentally hungry all the time but I can eat fruit and drink frozen or ice cold drinks with no problems (which I missed so much). So I am in banster hell right now until Jan. Also dealing with job stress at my new job I have been there for 3 months and supposed to get what I was told was group health coverage but turns out it is a discount plan which I can't take cause I am Diabetic still and it will look like I have no insurance so now I am trying to find another job. I am going to be Debbie Downer now. I am 34 and did not go to college I finally got out of retail , supermarket jobs and have been either customer service over the phone or most recently have become an Admin Asst. now it looks like the only jobs I can get is back at retail or supermarkets. I was trying to get into a supermarket in the bakery so I could learn to be a baker or cake decorator so I could have some kind of skill I feel so useless right now. We are kind of hard up money wise with Cobra costing us 1300 a month and when I am at my crappy job which pays good I am so bored cause there is nothing to do. And becuase I am bored I eat I tried journaling than was afraid my boss's wife would find it. Only cause I think she goes through my stuff when I am not at my desk. Not the computer (which is their's I don't do things on it) but my actual bag or my purse but I can't walk around the whole building with my purse in my hand. Sorry I am so depressed lately. When I get to play on my son's Wii and playing my Zumba game it is fun but he unhooked it to hook up his playstation and now I can't get my Wii working and of course he is not here. Also more knews my sister is in labor right now but does not want anyone coming to the hospital yet. It is her first one and she is only 3cm dialated and took her an hour to get there but I so just want to be at the hospital. She is supposed to call my mom when it gets close and then I can go. It makes me want to have another baby I was hopeing she was going to let me in the delivery room. They actually let up to 3 people in the room when you give birth. My sister thought it would be weird. Okay sorry for the long post I guess I had alot to say. So this time tomorrow I will have a Nephew.

Okay everyone back from the LB Dr took 4.5cc out of my band. I am going to be on Prilosec for a while to get my stomach to settle down due to it is most likely irritated under the band from the acid, PBing and so forth. I have 3.3cc in my band like in the begining liquids till Wed. the soft/ mushie then start solids this weekend. I get to start over and this time follow correctly. Oh he was not surprised at the weight gain because of the issues. I am go to my reg MD shortly cause I have had such a Migraine for two days and have not slept so she can give me a shot of toradol it is the only thing that really works. I might take tomorrow off to so I can get some rest I will keep you posted. -

I am here hanging in there trying to find a job but still working at the same place with that evil woman. I asked for a half day off friday and it was so nice. Anyways this week my acid got real bad I woke up twice spitting it up. Not good. Called my Dr office my Dr was on vaca I was told to not eat 2 hrs before I go to sleep and that should help. I found some otc med that is strictly for acid you can take and it feels like it numbs as it goes down it is called Gaviscon in liquid form. It works so fast I have only have used it twice. Once on Friday when everything bothered me I really could not eat anything. I found it at the store on lunch and it made me feel better. Then to be on the safe side I took a dose right before bed and had no problems. I looked it up on web md and I guess I have bad acid reflux and i am trying to not have anything that they listed that causes the acid except I have coffee I am just cutting it back to a small cup. So I am trying.Love you all and wish us all good vibes and strong wills to get through this battle of ours. -
No I am here reading:biggrin:

So I called my Dr office and unless it is an emergency I can not come in this week b/c my Dr is not there this week. I called because of the acid. They said make sure I wait 2 hrs after I eat before I lay down and that my head is elevated. I said I am not sure if 2 Hrs pass before I lay down and I would keep track of it. They said also to try Prilosec I normal take Zantec before I go to bed. I said I would keep a log and let them know friday what is going on. Basically because I can have liquids and solid with no real problems that it is not an emergency -

Thanks for understanding maybe he did not think this was a life long process. i am not sure we will have to tal about it more It is funny I have my journal but have not written in it yet. Not so much funny as nothing is going on at work to really write about `````````````````````````````````````````````````` To All So I found out yesterday my health insurance is not a group plan say like Atena it is a reinbursment plan. Meaning I pay for everything up front then I can some money back. Well that won't work. So right now we pay $1300 a month in Cobra. Now I have to find another job even though it was getting better. Uggh my fault I should have asked more questions
