Hmmm, I loved Hall and Oats, Rick Springfield, Barry Manilow (I know, I know!) Michael Jackson, The Gap Band, Santana, Aerospeedwagon, Air Supply! I was and still am a gigantic nerd!!

Barry Manilow, I so had a crush on him when I was 12 or so, I still think he is a cutey and like his music.:w00t:

Shelbi, I just love you.

Right back at ya, sweetie!

:w00t:

I remember now, the other southern BELLE on here. Mama says you can say anything when you add "bless your heart".:cool2:

Yes, m'am. We belles must mind our mama! "Life is so much nicer with a sweet smile and a "bless your heart"!" (said in my best Scarlette O'Hara voice).

AHHHHHHH!!!

I was reading an article in O magazine today and it was on medications and do they cause you to gain weight? I am currently on six medications ( two more for the back ) and guess how many of my six cause weight gain????? Of all the medications I take, half of them cause weight gain. Four of them cause sleep disturbance.

My band is definately doing it's job.

As I whittle away and rehab and recovery on the back I find more and more things popping up. Needless to say, I'm stopping two of the medications and switching to Tylenol.

I have an appt. with the doctor to review the other four. I am going to begin going off of one of them. The one for panic disorder. I'm changing the Effexor I take for depression because there is a viable option with lesser side effects.

Something tells me once the meds are squared away I will give Dee a run for her weight loss money!!! (grins)

You got it Lap!!!

There is no one else I'd rather pay that Weight Loss Monies to - as much as you!

I wish you could come too! I'd give you a BIG HUG!

Hey, I went to Dick's (sporting goods store) AND bought a Huge Ball! Actually, I bought two balls! HA! One small, one larger! They were on sale! Core Stability Balls, to be exact! Anyway, I've been using them and they are really great! Only problem is -- mine is 96inches around and I can't get it out of my bedroom! ARGH!

Shelbi, I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard you were throwing my good name around AND blaming me for being bad on the Loser's Bench! Is this true? Did you tell one of the New Banditos to watch out for me on the bench?

Don't be causing trouble! Keep your hands to yourself!! AND be nice!

Lap-What issue was this article in? I would like to read it. I used to take Effexor until Feb when I got pneumonia-I was too sick to care about taking my meds and quit cold turkey (and was too sick to care about the withdrawal symptoms). I need to start something for depression again but I am very hesitant to start Effexor again (even though it worked great for me). I would like to see what that article has to say!

I have one of those in my basement that I forgot I even had-I need to blow it up and start using it.;)

Well, one good thing about all this stress is that I have actually been frustrated enough to walk, and walk, and walk on my treadmill. But not so good when I am hardly eating...;)

I don't want to drink barium in the morning....BLECH!!!!!

You can sit next to me! I'd not sit next to Shel, because she tends to be a bit irritating at times! Poking, pinching, squirming!!

      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.
