I know new stuff hits the shelves differently throughout the country- but here's my latest favs... -ocean spray diet cranberry juice- only 5 calories per glass- found it cheapest at walmart -Pringles Stix- 90 cal per bag- I've tried Pizza so far- really like them!!! -I know Hershey puts out the choc covered pretzels for 150 cal- but there's a new one in the pretzel isle- yummy- only 100 cal- can't remember which pretzel company put them out... Have a good one- Holly

I think the Excedrin is actually caffeine, aspirin and aceteminophene all mixed together, so that would probably be out. Sorry. Too bad, because it is good stuff! My son liked to squish my tummy and didn't want me to get rid of it either! It was so funny, but he likes my "skinny" tummy now. I am sure your son will get over it! BTW- I did something before my surgery and it has totally paid off. My dr's office is in a really ritzy neighborhood and there is a Goodwill down the road. I went there after an appointment one day and bought about 15 pairs of slacks in the size I thought would fit after my surgery. I also got some dresses, t's, and tank tops for summer that I thought I could wear after the LBL. Everything was really good brands and in great shape. I only bought "the color of the day" for the most part, so I only paid a buck or two for each piece of clothing. Anyway, I stowed them in the closet and most of them fit after my surgery. The things that didn't, I passed on to someone else at work. It turned out to be great, and I had some pants there I could wear without having to go shopping, because NONE of my pants fit afterward. Just a thought!

Hey - how was it taking the triplets to the Disney?? I bet crazy.How old are they? Did you guys have fun. It's so common to gain after vacation, and you really didn't do bad, so give it a couple of weeks and you'll be back down!

Lori, I am so happy to hear you are getting stronger and healthier. It is so good to see your smiling face on the board!!! Anna

Oh Wow you said it Janie. I am soooooo excited. I never thought I would actually get to have it done well at least not for another 4 years anyway. I paid the deposit today and she sent my packet already. They have been so wonderful. It was so awesome of her to give me the date I wanted without even a deposit. I think she just knew I was going to make it happen...lol. Dr. Krieger does awesome work and I don't mind the extra travel for that. Anna
