Car 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Don't need to know French. During the summer, English abounds. Would you believe that $1 = 1.43 Euros? It's killing us. That's why we do as much business in Euros as we possibly can. How are things going for you band-wise. Car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndioGirl55 32 Posted October 24, 2007 Janet, All I can say is that you are my kind of woman. Brutally honest! Thanks for making me see myself in you. Thanks :0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phyllser 3 Posted October 24, 2007 Ah, so that's my problem.... transfer addiction! I AM addicted to this site!! And to all my BAND BUDDIES!! I so agree with everything you said, Janet. Loved your rant/your will power "dissertation"! You help keep me on the right track. I find I have become very... hmmmm, I don't know what word I'm looking for, but, I think very carefully about what I'm going to eat. Like last night we ate at our daughter's because it was GS 19th birthday. His favorite.... burritos and my daughter's homemade burritos are wonderful. But, I knew that wouldn't be so good to eat, so DH and I made the Lentil Taco recipe that someone posted a few days ago. All healthy stuff except for a thin layer of Jiffy Corn bread on top of the casserole. We added some ground turkey to the recipe, and some thin sliced jalapenos and chopped fresh cilantro. It was delicious. I also took 1/3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phyllser 3 Posted October 24, 2007 I wasn't done!! I also took 1/3 of a burrito and scraped out all the insides and discarded the flour tortilla. So I was able to eat healthy and have a very tasty dinner. then I had a bite of birthday cake. I don't like to waste my calories and tummy space on the stuff that's not giving me good nutrition. So, I'm trying to say that my thinking regarding food has changed pretty drastically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mango24 1 Posted October 24, 2007 I'm back from my fill. She put 1.5 in Monday. I couldn't even drink without spitting up foam. Today she took out 1. I feel 100% better. I went eat Soup as soon as she was done. I lost 5lbs since the Monday morning weigh in. But I'm not counting that cause it probably was just dehydration. The soup and Water probably put it back on.

NewCC 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Mango, so glad you got that fixed. Sounded awful. I had the foaming thing a the Dr. office at my first fill. They wouldn't let me leave and took most of the fill out. Your experience says they did the right thing! Something I appreciate about all of you - you are very honest. I don't think I've been as honest with myself as you all make me here. Once in a blue moon, I will admit that I gained weight BECAUSE I ATE TOO MUCH, more often I try to blame it on pregnancies, stress, schedule, metabolism, my mom, my husband, my lack of sleep, weather......Being honest makes the weight go away. Fooling myself doesn't! Thanks. NewCC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have tons and tons of hair so it doesn't matter, but my trash is completely filled with my hair. I wonder why? hi CeCe! i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem too, mine is so had i wake up and there is all hair on my pillow in the shower also is not good at all. i was told it was because i was not eating enough Protein. maybe you should try get more Protein rich food or maybe some shakes i'm still having a priblem with food and i can't eat a lot and i really dont like the shakes.< /span> i too have lots of hair but i can now start feeling the difference in it also it does not look as healthy as it used too! maybe ring up your nurse and see what she says xxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
