I've slept a lot better tonight. No hot, cold, hot, cold, just slept so good my body thinks its been sleeping for hours. Went to sleep around 11, woke up at 1 and went right back to sleep, then woke again at 3.Might be able to fall back to sleep at 5ish.But happy its been a good sleep.

Carole, sorry to hear your lack of rest is due to reflux. I can't wait until you see your new Dr. I'm definitely praying they can help you. Do you take Prilosec, Nexium or something like those, daily? I've been on Prilosec for years. I use to take it twice a day, but now I just take it once daily. I have an rx for it, which makes it very cheap.

Long story Michele, but I have been there on a boat and the handle hit me in the face and knocked be down the stairs. Two bruised ribs and a black eye. You won't catch me using those suckers again!

I always considered using resistance bands, but not so much anymore.

I can just see the Lawyer commercials on tv, "if you be seriously hurt, while working out with resistance bands, call 1-800-sue-now. We maybe able to get you compensation".

I think I watch too much tv!? Speaking of which, I think I want a sister wife. I need help taking care of things around here.lol

Good Morning All...

I can't in good conscious like any post of us getting injured...glad that it wasn't any worse than it was Mini...and you too, Terri!

Very good to know that you are well Dawn, and not affected by the storms.

Janet...you are so right about not taking chances with lightening. I remember some of the news reports about people being struck in the most unusual places, even when a storm was not in the vicinity.

Dee, how is the summer so far? You should post a picture of you in your new sundress! I hope the computer guy comes through with your refund.

I take 2 doses of Nexxium a day. I've noticed that the reflux begins around 9:30 in the evening. I slept most of the night propped up on multiple pillows last night.

Just cannot figure out how to avoid the evening reflux...

I hope all have a great day...

Terri...so thoughtful for Diane's Starbucks gift! :)

A Sushi update: She is not back to her former self, but each day she is walking more and becoming more interactive with all of us. She returns to the vet for another check of her Fluid levels in her lungs. Her respiration rate continues to be near the target range of 20.

Terri, I was wrong, the backing doesn't come with the quilt, gotta read the small print.

Can't believe how cheap their fabric is. You've ordered from them before, so you know the quality?

I hope Sushi continues to improve. Poor animals age just like us humans. Arthritis, diabetes, heart disease etc... I wonder if animals get dementia and if not, why???

Carole, is there some kind of evening medication maybe causing reflux, since being banded? Milk product? Since banding, fruit punch gatorade affects me, other flavors no, just fruit punch. Go figure!

Yes, I tend to wash their fabric before using it... they have a lot of stiffener in it. Just warm Water is all you need, no Cheer! LOL.

Thanks Terri, for the heads up on the website. I'm such an idiot, I'm looking around for my tablet to look it up, as I'm reading your thread on my tablet.

Thanks to Miss Dee, I went to Victory Secret for a bra sizing. Never done that before. I've been wearing the wrong size bra my whole life. I always wore a D cup and I got a 38DD.Most of it was still bending over and having my side flab fall into cup.

Got underwire, which I have never been comfortable in, but I can't tell with my new ones. All in all, I'm very happy.

Thanks Dee for going first!

LOL Janet...I can only imagine the scene over the tablet!

Terri...good to know about the web site. I intend to begin to make my first quilt...after the house renovations are finished.

Another Sushi update: her lungs are looking much better. The vet said she is convinced that in addition to the heart failure, she had pneumonia. Poor little sweetie...she must have felt horrible, and did not even complain. We took her to the vet because she developed a cough and she rarely has ever coughed.

We don't know how much time she has, but she is now more energetic, and we know she enjoys being home with us...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
