Topic: RE: Vitamin Question
Jersey I use Equate Multi vitamins from Walmart and compared them with the Bariatric vitamins Karyn brought with her when she came here for a visit. Mine had a little more of somethings in them. I pay like $6 for 300 pills and they last me 150 days. My blood work has been good so they must be working for me. I also take a B12 2500 mcgs and 2 stool softners. That is all I take.

Hugs, Chris

Topic: Vitamin Question
Hola!

Can you guys give me any recommendations for a good multi-vitamin?  The one I was taking (don't ask!) is now making me sick so I need an alternative!

Also...are we supposed to be taking calcium CARBONATE?  I thought that was what my doctor stated...

Thanks in advance!
Love and hugs,
JM

 Jersey~

I looked at what you are eating today and I don't think you are getting enough calories :)  Those protein things are good for protein but they go right through you and don't satisfy you - please don't think I am being critical - you loose alot of empathy and tone when writing e-mails.

You should try a cheese stick or cottage cheese for those snacks - it might keep you fuller longer or just three more ounces of chicken, turkey or tuna.

My doctor strongly suggests no liquid calories because it does not satisfy...just some food for thought.

Again,  these are just suggestions and I know the liquid protein is easy and a no brainer, but I KNOW  I would be starving on what you are eating.

I have to tell myself daily that they did surgery on my stomach not my head and I battle those food demons as well.

Happy Wednesday!

Rhonda

Topic: Wednesday Accountability

Good morning!

Okay, so...UGH...I edited my Accountability post yesterday (I do like that feature, actually, in this new format) to update my failings yesterday. :(  TOTALLY lost it in the evening but I am going to try to be stronger today (WHY was Monday, the first day, so darn easy?  Phooey!).

This is my PLAN today...

B:  3 oz. chicken
S:  21 oz. New Whey Protein
L:  Either 2 hardboiled eggs...or sushi/salad/clear soup (I have sushi plans but not sure I want to venture out in this weather!)
S:  21 oz New Whey Protein
S#2:  Update...also had a Quaker snack...DAMN!
S#3:  Update...4 lemon drops (double damn!)
D:  3 oz. tilapia with some artichokes and tomatoes.
Update:  D:  Two chicken legs (curry chicken)
Update:  S:  5 tiny bites of my son's chocolate chip ice cream


Gunna try to stay FAR away from the lemon drops and from the Quaker snacks.  They are so good that, when I eat them, I want to KEEP eating them!!

Hope everyone has a successful day!
Love and hugs,
JM

Screw sizing.  They are all different.  I don't care what size it says as long as it fits and makes me feel fabulous.  That's what counts.

And Wow - great find on the Vera Wang.  I love her stuff.

Sending all my good thought regarding your audition.
Regards and hugs,

Topic: Thank You
Thanks to each and every one of you *****ad and/or responded to my post.  I am feeling alot better tonight.  I decided to stop being so gloomy... just pick myself up and keep on truckin.  Your kind words only helped fuel my strength.  I will take the post to my therapist anyways, as I do seem to fall back into a funk easily.

As a gift to myself I did head out to Khols and sneak a peek at their clearance racks... brought home three new dresses!  I do hate the sizings on clothing.  I brought home a Large, an Extra Large and 2X... the steal of the day was my black Vera Wang dress and it was, ironically, the smallest at a large, so that in itself was a pretty big ego boost.  And all three only cost a grand total of $33!

Thank you again everyone.  I really appreciate all of your support.

And about my move and school.... I have the audition January 30.  Once Spring grades are posted I will submit them to Duquesne and from there I will be notified if I'm accepted or not.  February 13th is the last day consideration for a scholarship based on my musical talent, so I should know about that shortly after my audition.  Then once I'm accepted I'll start my packing and getting ready to move across the country :)

Wish me luck!
