Topic: RE: HAVING PROBLEMS & SOOO SICK OF IT!
Thanks Keke, I went to the Dr. today and the Dr. seems to think it's possible I may have a kink in my small intestines. I am having a lower GI done to see if that's whats going on. They will call me in a few days to schedule that. He told me to come off my multivitamin, etc. til we see what the problem is. I am to go back on miralax at night, plus 2 ducolax in the a.m............1 protonix in the a.m., 1 in the p.m., and take my zyrtec by 7 p.m. He wasn't to happy about me taking the lower bowel herb LB-X as he said he didn't know what was in it. Oh he also said that I have VERY LITTLE stomach acid so that shouldn't be whats causing me to stay so sick, we'll see what the lower GI shows when it's scheduled. I'll let everyone know. Melissa

Topic: RE: Support Groups..anyone going?
I think calling this a "vent post" is so appropriate!! I'm just glad I'm not the only one who is going through this. Sometimes, I feel like I'm going to lose my mind and other times I feel like I have it all together. Like right now, I'm not even hungry but I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat for the day...the entire day..what's up with that?? LOL. I just can't help it. I'm also thinking about the frozen stash of poptarts that my husband has in the freezer...temptations need to be out of my house but I know it's hard to force your lifestyle on someone else who has really no interest in making theirs better. I hope things are going well for you today..and thanks for responding to my post Same goes with you..you ever need to chat just send me an email Take care!

Topic: RE: Support Groups..anyone going?
I'm helping facilitate an awesome support group that is run by my friend Lisa who has WLS in December with my surgeon. She has professional counseling experience and does such a great job of addressing the real issues we need to deal with. We started the group May 21st and it has exploded! We average 30 people each week. Sorry you don't live close enough to attend, but we have an email yahoo group too that you are welcome to join. We have at least one person on that email group who doesn't live in the area and the information in there is very helpful. We meet every week and I have to tell you that it helps me a lot! Running it helps too! http://run.to/fishkill (shortcut URL) Vi

Topic: RE: We are missing some of our October People?
Hey, Deb! I'm sorry you had so many complications following your gallbladder surgery. At least you got a 13 pounds loss for all your troubles. Not sure it was worth it, but we'll take what we can get, yes? I hope your major troubles are over and that smooth sailing is right around the corner. Take care, Kellie 396/240/150-165?

Topic: RE: stall over
Misty, Way to GO! I'm glad your stall finally broke. You know, the protein change may have something to do with it. I had stopped drinking my protein drinks thinking I could get it all from food, then realized I couldn't so I started back with a new one that tasted much better and lost 2 lbs. in a week. That isn't great, but better than nothing. I think the protein kick started it again. Now I need to increase it a little and maybe I'll lose a little more. Good Luck, Lori 276/174/140
