i hope to let you know in about 7 1/2 months... :smile2:

OH NO!!!! thats just so wrong! let us know if you have a response from the EMPIRE... unless they oh so brilliantly changed the mocha's, that was my 2nd fave.

...... just to post

glouc - if you insist...

copy cat...

posting just to post ...

thanks ... you guys rock ... :cursing:

actually, i was completely serious... i have been craving spinach for a few weeks and finally bought some ... i'll try steaming it. i dont like to boil my veggies. 'preciate it. i love cheese but dont like eggplant

its really really really hot in my house (AC decided to quit... grrrrrrrrr)

becky, so glad to hear that you are OK... i was getting worried! day 2-4 was the worst for me. if you need anything, let me know. C

wasa, thanks so much for your post and courage to post ... i know some on here have given you hell over some of your views... the sleeve sounds like something i would consider if my band were to fail for some reason. question - you know how you can 'eat around the band'? is that possible with the sleeve? what happens if you eat too much? i know you would eventually stretch the pouch, but is there anything immediate - like a PB? thanks!

well i have to say froggi, you DONT look 407 pounds! you are beautiful...

posting just to post that i LOVE potatoes and spinach, i just bought fresh spinach for the first time (trying to eat well and keep a sticky bean) and i have NO CLUE how to cook it... LMBand-Aid - your ticker looks just like my cat!!! so i guess this post really wasnt a post just to post....

thanks .. i am REALLY trying not to worry about it. some great comment on my blog hit the nail on the head - it's basically out of my control anyway, so why freak over something i cant control ... im trying to think of it that way.. really trying. i dunno if i really even feel pregnant anymore. i mean i get kinda queasy every once in awhile, but my 'need to pee' has lessened (i think). chest is still tender, but i think that would be the case regardless due to the higher than normal hCG.... it might just be going down. but anyway.... cant be concerned over it ... my DD is keeping me VERY busy today anyway. we all went for a nap and apparently she woke up and was bored so she decided to 'rearrange' her closet that i forgot to lock. oops. DH was not too pleased. and Faith - i have no clue what Dr. P is going to say. in fact, i had an appt with him Thursday, but had to cancel cause i felt i was too nauseated to drive all the way to downtown Dallas area and all the way home.. i havent rescheduled yet... plus, he's going to freak that i havent lost anymore weight... **sigh**

ok... not horrible numbers, but it didnt double. initial read - 6/10 was 3059 2nd read - 6/12 was 5430 i called my OB and the nurse said that its an acceptable rise, so im going to continue to try to NOT freak out... i will go back for another hCG reading next week. im going to try to hold out until Thursday, but i'll probably be in the office Monday afternoon :smile: thanks for the continued thoughts and prayers, i really appreciate it.

BBK LOVE the new sig!

well, THANK YOU... you picked MY birthday to post it... of course im just now seeing it, but thanks!

thanks!! im trying ... the other websites helped ... im even in the middle stage for 5 weeks .. we shall see....

i posted a freak out on a mommie board that i was probably losing and some wonderful woman gave me a great link about hCG (heaven forbid i do my own research and just rely on 1 internet source) * 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml * 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml * 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml at the time of the test i was 5weeks 6days... my hCG was 3059.... so well within the range that the American Pregnancy Association (whoda thunk there was an association??) says is OK. " Caution must be used in making too much of hCG numbers. A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby. The results from an ultrasound after 5 - 6 weeks gestation are much more accurate than using hCG numbers." hCG Levels : American Pregnancy Association sooooo... im going to TRY to chill out and just wait until my Doctor calls tomorrow with a (HIGHER, please) number... thanks for the fingers/etc crossed, it really means a lot to me. im going to try to just chill out

tests dont look good. hCG is really low. this sucks.

congratulations!!!

well of course you are my friend... i just meant new requests ... **sob** im just devestated, can you tell?
