Sherri- I am glad to hear that your hubby is treating you better. I know just how you feel with the fill. I got one last week and it is tight. I can hardly eat anything. I really don't want to get an unfill because I begged my doc for this fill. It is a little better today but I am still not eating much. I hope at least I lose some weight. Hi everyone. I am slowly getting better. I am going to try to go to the store tomorrow and then back to the water aerobics on Thurs. Right now I am fixing to go to bed and I am not hungry and I never had dinner. I wonder if I should eat something. Naw Well goodnight everyone. HUgs

Well guys just an update on me and my woes. I can't eat very much at all. I had to change my acid reflux meds and I was without for one and a half days. SO I am hoping that is my problem. I got the new stuff and will start it in the morning. Maybe I will back to normal by then. I could get some sugar free pudding down put then I had the runs. I am hungry and I can't eat. Yuck. I don't want to live on pudding and imodium. Well I need to go back to the potty so I will say goodnight and I will talk to ya'll tomorrow. Sorry to be such a downer. Night all. Sherri- We (hubby and I) prayed for you tonight.

Hey Sherri I am so sorry that your family is treating you that way. You don't deserve it. Sometimes I wish I could just kick people when they are like that. I will be praying for you. Guys I am still having problems eating. Everyday since my fill I have had one or another problem. Today I drank too much water taking my pills. And now I was trying to eat something because I am hungry and only got half of it down and I am hoping it will stay. I don't know what is happening to me. I can't go and ask for an unfill because I fought so hard to get him to do this fill. I guess it is still too early to eat real food. The only other thing I have to eat is sugar free stuff and it gives me the runs. I am a hopeless cause. Oh well I guess I will lose some weight if I can't eat much. Later on I might try a Slim Fast drink and see if I can drink that. At least I can get some protein. I also think one of you has given be your cold over the net waves. I am not coughing but my eyes are itchy and my nose is runny but I still have that cigarette smoke smell in my nose. I really am a hopeless cause and I am going to go back to bed after I visit the potty. Talk to ya'll later.:notagree

Hey guys. I finally had a good day. I had to break my pill into fourths but it went down with now problems. We got to go to church and that was good. We ate Mexican afterward and I can still put away alot if I really want to. But tonight for dinner it was tight again. I don't go out much so I hope I won't eat that much anymore. Well until next Sunday. I hope that you all have had a great weekend. Mine hasn't been the best but today it was good. It seems like football has been on all day. I am not a big fan but I watch the Cowboys to please hubby. I am a baseball fan. Hubby puts up with me watching all the baseball games so I guess I can watch a football game once a week. Well I am going to bed so I want to wish you all a great week. NIghty Night HUgs

Wow Desiree wow you look great!! Well guys I did good yesterday but today I have had problems again with taking my pill. I halved it but it still went down wrong. I am going to cut it into fourths first before I crush it. I have been in bed most of the day except when I was working on my new puzzle. It is round and pretty hard. Anyway I will be extra careful with what I eat because I am real tight. I guess that is what I wanted but I guess I wasn't prepared. I have to go right now but I will be back. See ya.

Hey guys I am not doing so good today. My band must be really tight. I can't seem to eat very much. I took one of my pills this morning and it didn't go down to good. I was in pain for what seemed like an hour. It felt like it was going to come back up. I don't know what ya'll call it but it was bad. I feel asleep and when I woke I started the diarrhea. I know it is from the Barium that I had to drink yesterday plus just eating sugar free stuff today. I just ate a banana so I hope it feels me up and stays down. I am really not feeling very good right now so I will talk to you all later. Hugs

Hey guys my fill went alot better than I thought it would. He only stuck me once and it didn't hurt that bad. He told me that my band held 4cc and he put in .5 cc today. I now have a total of 3 cc. He also told me that people lose weight differently and it is alright if one side of my body loses more. He didn't know anything about the smell in my nose. I guess that one is a mystery. I am on liquids today and I am doing okay. I have felt a little more resistance today but not much. I know that it takes a couple of days before it really tightens up. I hope so.

I forgot to tell you guys something. I got my bracelet in the mail today. I am wearing it proudly. Also Tylenol has finally come out with chewable adult pills. I had to take some today and they are not that bad tasting. It is better than swallowing more pills. Just a headsup. Night

Hey guys! MDG - I would change doctors. My doc filled me with alot the first time and I felt alot of resistence and now I am going to get my second fill tomorrow. July5forme- don't ever feel that you post too much or that we don't want to here about you. That is the only way to get to know someone better is to read there posts. Please feel free to share, gripe, or anything else you want to do. Welcome Lisa!! Hey guys I had a busy day today. I went to my first water aerobics class today. Boy am I at of shape. I was wiped out. I am already feeling the soreness. Then I had to go to the grocery store after that and I spent an hour there easy. I was so exhasted when I got home I could hardley move. I think that I should count this day as two exercises. How about Jane? Anyway I am going to be soooooo sore tomorrow. I have to get a fill tomorrow too. It hurt last time because my port is crooked so I know it will hurt this time too. I hoping it will go easier. I will let you guys know. I really need to go to bed soon because one I am tired and two I have to get up early for my fill. So I will say nighty night all. Hugs

Good to hear from you Step. Hi guys. I had a plain day today. Didn't do much. Tomorrow I am going to the Y and do the water aerobics and then I am going out to eat with my mom and then to the store. Boy I have a big day tomorrow. I guess I better get to sleep. I hope you all had a great Monday. Talk to ya'll later. Nighty night. Hugs

Hey guys. I had another slow day. I couldn't go anywhere because of my rash under my breast. I can't wear a bra. Hubby put some stuff on it so I hope it will get well quick. I don't have any plans to go anywhere tomorrow but Tuesday I start my water aerobics so I hope it is better then. I hope you all have had a great weekend. I haven't heard from alot of you so that means you are doing great. Right? I hope you have a great week as well. I hope to hear from you all during the week. It was good to hear from Jessica.

mysherrijo- my daughter thought the same thing that I was taking the easy way out. It really hurt my feelings at the time because I know that it is hard work. But now as I tell her each week how I am struggling with losing, ports, sliming and everything else I think she is beginning to realize that it is work. I bet your husband is really upset with himself for not losing more. I know I get upset with myself. Anyway I hope things get better. He might just be under alot of stress right now and taking it out on you and your son. I have been there and done that. Hang in there sweetie. Thinks will get better. Remember we all love you. And let me personally give you a big HUG!

Hey where is everybody? I hope ya'll are all good. I had a bad day today. I have had a headache all day long. It is this smell I have in my nose. I also noticed when I got in the bath that I have a painfull yeast infection under one of my breasts. (Sorry Chris) Ladies I think you know what an problem yeast can be under our layers. I put some powder on it and it feels a little better. Well I don't know much else. I am off to bed to read. Talk to ya'll tomorrow I hope. Nighty Night. Hugs

Hey guys. I had a good restfull day. I didn't do much but I have had something to do all week so today I took the day off. I just watched TV and read. It was nice. My hubby's tooth is much better so he is more pleasent to be around. I got a message saying that by bracelet is in the mail. It might be in my box right now. I didn't go get the mail today. I will check tomorrow. I hope you all have a great weekend. Don't forget to post and let us know that you are still here and tell us what you are doing. I miss you all when you don't post as much during the weekend. Now that I think about it now that ya'll went back to work I don't here from you as often. Oh well, work is work. You gotta do what ya gotta do. I am off to bed. Yes I know it is Friday night but I have a book that I am reading and I like to read in bed. So I will say nighty night and check back with you all tomorrow. Hugs

Hey guys. I have another wierd problem. Two years ago I quit smoking (I was a pack a day smoker for about 20 years). Now I smell cigarette smoke all the time. When I am at home where there is no smoking or never has been and when I am lying in bed at night it is such a strong smell that I almost gag on it. Nobody else can smell it but me. Hubby thinks that I am getting rid of all that bad toxin from my body and it is in my nose. Does that sound logical to you? Has this ever happened to you? With my stomach lopsided and my nose stinking of cigarette smoke I am an odd ball.

Well guys I have had a good day. I got an email today and it said that my band bracelet is in the mail. Yeah I am so excited. I didn't think that he was going to send it to me because I hadn't heard from him yet. But it is in the mail. Yeah:clap2: I am off to bed. I had a long day and I have a feeling that I might be sore tomorrow after working on the machines at the Y. HAs any of you had problems when working on your ads with your port? I just did a little and my port hurt for awhile afterwards. It doesn't hurt anymore but I was wondering if I could do damage to it my working my abs. Nighty night all. Hugs

I gave my clothes to the Disabled Vetrans of America. I just wait until one of the donation places call me and then I give it to them.

Yes the first time I had to drink alot of Barium I spent the rest of the day in the bathroom. I think that is normal. I joined the YMCA today. I learned how to use some of the machines and tried them out. I don't know if that counts as exercise or not but I sure was winded. I plan on doing the water aerobics though. I think it will be better on my knees. I am going to watch the new show Ugly Betty now. Be back later.

Hey guys. Something wierd if happening to me. My ride side of my stomach is getting smaller but my left side is still big. What is going on? Do you think it could have anything to do with my port? I hope not? My PCP told me that my left side was probably still swollen from my surgery and some scar tissue. But could it still be swollen? It was almost 3 months ago. And scar tissue wouldn't be that big. I guess I need to ask my doctor next week whenI go for a fill. I hope nothing is wrong. I don't want to be lopsided. lol I am off to bed early tonight so I will say good night and I will talk to you all tomorrow. I will try the picture again. Hubby (Bob) and daughter (Karen) Me and hubby at our 25th Wedding Anniversary 2005

I don't know any other way to get pictures on this site. I will try it again but I might have to wait until my hubby feels better and get him to help me. Did any one of you watch the results to Dancing With the Stars tonight? I forgot and I wanted to know who got voted off. If anyone knows please tell me. Thanks. I will be back later on.

I don't know where everyone is tonight but I hope you are all doing well. I just wanted to say nighty night and sleep tight. I am off to bed with my book. Does anyone else like to read and if so what kind of books do you like. I like mysteries and good novels. Well talk to ya'll tomorrow. Hugs

What ivf mean?

Indianlight - you have lost quite a bit of weight for not having a fill yet. You will be surprised after your fill how much more weight you will lose. You are doing great. I sometimes don't eat the right kind of foods either. I bet most of us don't. Well everyone my poor hubby is having a really hard time with his tooth. He stayed home from work today and slept most of the day. I wish I could do something for him but I have no clue. He did watch a little TV tonight but he is back asleep now. I guess if he is sleeping then he is not hurting so I will leave him alone. I didn't go anywhere today but I have planned an outing tomorrow with my mother. We are going shopping. Not for clothes yet though. We are going to the bookstore and to Linens & Things. I hope to go back to the gym on Thursday with my mom and do some exercise. I am going to try and post some pictures on here. It might not work. If I do it will be my hubby and daughter and my hubby and me on our 25th Wedding Anniversary. If it dosen't work I will have to try later. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/baylor_mom/detail?.dir=edca&.dnm=c091.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/baylor_mom/detail?.dir=edca&.dnm=6a73.jpg&.src=ph

I finished my puzzle tonight. Yeah!! I am up late again. I can't seem to find the right thing to help me sleep. I am going to take some Tylenol in a minute and try to get some sleep. Oh I did get the kitchen cleaned up too. I am getting things done tonight. Go me!! Well I hope you guys have a great Tuesday and I will talk to ya'll later. I am off to bed. Nighty night all. Hugs

I didn't mean to post twice. Sorry
