Thanks, Carlene! Wow, who'da thunk some of those even made the list....Sun Ultra???? I know it's not high on the list, but there are so many brands, it's sort of impressive to even be ON it.

I agree. And Kirkland (number 4) is Costco's store brand.

Hey has anyone ever used the space saver bags....where you suck out all the air and store bedding and such in them?

A few of my favorite things are:'

Clorox wipes - Lemon scent...Luv these things and I use them for everything.

Windex wipes - luv using them for the tv screens and computer screens cuz they are streak free.

Suave kids hair detangler....which I luv so much that my best friends brings it from the USA since I can't find it here in Calgary.

Tons of other things but these three are definitely in my top ten.

I have used the space saver bags....don't waste your money. The ziplock type seal where you put the stuff into the bag through doesn't hold very well....and I've had them rip on me. They seem pretty cheap.

I couldn't live without my clorox wipes, either, I keep a big container in my bathroom, and wipe down the toilet seat and rim every day with it. Keeps it sparkling clean! I also do a quick swish with the toilet brush every day, too, with or without cleaner, makes no difference... (don't have to get out the big guns or chemical cleaners to clean it anymore)

I CAN NOT live without my DYSON. I figured if I can spend 700.00 for a dog I can spend 400 for a DYSON, to keep the dog hair up off the floors. I've had a lot of vacuums and I would rate this one the best out of all. One more thing is my Little Green Machine ProHeat.

I understand completely. I feel the same way about my Oreck, although I have not tried all the others in the CR study.

I'm glad you mentioned price, because I forgot to. The number one rated vacuum (Hoover Wind Tunnel Self Propelled Ultra) cost just $250, and number two was a mere $140, while my beloved Oreck retails for $700. That was sticker shock, I don't mind telling you.

Lucy,

I LOVE my Dyson. I would vacum every day if didn't have to admit it to anyone...LOL. I do vacum about three times a week and the Dyson so far has been able to handle it very well! I have been through sooooo many vacumes, sometimes every other month. I became soooo frustrated that I purchashed my Dyson out of anger because I was tired of replacing vacumes. My Dyson has stood strong. It was deffinatly worth the $$, I would have spent three times the cost of it by now replacing it with others. Love it, love it!! I would deffinatly reccomend them!

Carlene~

Yes the memory foam ROCKS!!! It is a Cal King, and was about $4000.00 (I just made my last payment this week!). But is is awesome. It responds to your body heat, but then when you get up it "comes back". If my toes are laying there and Imove them, I can feel the ridges from where each toe was...how cool is that. Again the best $$$ I've ever spent on myself!! And a 20 year warranty!

I've contributed a few times, so now I'm gonna take.

Central vaccuum. We have been getting bids and it looks like we're right around $1200. I've heard great reviews on them. But it's hard to imagine something having good suction when you're on the other end of a 20ft hose. So - central vaccuum. Works? Worth it?

      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.
