I gotta share this, when I was searching for a Newsfeed, I noticed that NBC's studio is on West BIG BEAVER Rd. :-)

JC - I was prescribed B12 injections last Friday, started them Saturday. I was really freaked out, too. I was already doing the Byetta, but that is a pen with a needle about 3/4" long. My B12 came with a prescription for syringes with a needle that is 3 or 4 times that length, I'm guessing. I've never even given blood because I get freaked out over this stuff! Once I finally sucked it up and did it, it was the same as the Byetta....I didn't even feel it! I felt silly. :wub: I do rotate the site...thigh to back of hip...four sites. My schedule is 1CC every day for two weeks, then twice a week for four weeks then just twice a month after that for maintenance. Byetta is twice a day, every day, forever...UGH. I learned how to do the injection from YouTube! It worked perfectly.

OH! And I don't know why it matters, but my nurse said to inject the needle with the bevel up. When you look at your syringe/needle, the tip is beveled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now maybe y'all can help me? I'm trying to figure out how to put podcasts on my ipod. I'm not techno challenged by any stretch, but I've just never done this and I can't figure it out! HELP!

LOL. The best part is that Big Beaver Road is exit 69 of the freeway. =)

J I feel bad for his children, not his wife. She is a crook herself using a city paid vehicle and lying about it. Plus she loves her position as Mrs. Mayor.

You are very welcome! Yeah, my DD was picking on me while I was whining and moaning about doing my first one. (Heartless wench, like her mama!) I must've had that syringe in my hand for 20 minutes and started to do it 100 times before I actually did it! I'm such a wuss.

Any tips on getting podcasts onto my IPOD? This is what I'm trying to get onto it (I use ITUNES):

I took a look, from the quick look I took this is what I would do, download the link manually into a folder then import to I-Tunes. I will be doing this tonight because that is a cool a$$ site.

I'm probably not going to be any help, but just hit subscribe to podcasts and it automatically downloads to my iTunes account. When I recharge it uploads the newest podcasts.

But I go to podcasts via iTunes site, not from other sites on the web. Probably why I don't have issues.

Hi everyone!

JC- Sounds like you have lots of help in the B12 area! Your doctor's office will show you how to do your injections, so don't worry too much! They won't make you figure it out on your own! The hardest part is the first time you stick yourself. ZZ is telling you right though, slow=pain. You'll want to insert the needle like a dart. Quick and purposeful (just don't throw it or be forceful! lol). The size of your needle sounds a little short though for IM. If you just don't think you can do it, let them know..they can always do them for you with an appointment with the nurse.

HP/ZZ- Good luck on your race!!!!

TX- Go to iTunes and click on Podcasts. Most (if not all) are FREE!! I have a few that are awesome! You can get some for bicycling (sorry, I mean bycyling) as well as running. The music is set to cadence, or heart rate. So cool! Once you choose them, click subscribe. You will need to click on the episodes you want the first time. Once you connect your iPod, it will down load those episodes (unless you tell it you want all of them). It will check for new episodes each time you connect and based on what guidelines you told your iTunes to do it will download them. I have Cadence Revolution, PodRunner, Motivation to Move and some others. I think you can get them from other sites too, but I've never done that. There is a tab in your iTunes that lets you manage your podcasts. Hope that helps!

BG- Justice is always a good thing. :wink:

J- How's it goin? Are you ready for Spring Break?

Well, today I am officially cancer free!! Today is a good day.

I rode my bike today. It was colder than I expected because the sun was shining! I got flurried upon! Snow!

So woo hoo, I got a few miles on me! And I didn't fall down.

C-

Congrats on being Cancer Free! That's fantastic. Do you have a surgery date set in stone now? Is it the 1st or the 10th? Those were the two possible, right?

Zoe is back in school this week, but I'm happily dealing with an empty work place.

I hope everyone is fine.

      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.
