Nona, Hi there. Please keep up the faith in God. I will say a prayer for you girl. We are strong. I hope you keep us posted. A good dr is the best and only thing you need right now besides prayers. Again Nona.... We love you. Lorraine

Lord, girl, you have been having it so rough. I know how it feels when things back up, but not like what you are going through. Please be careful and take it easy. Nona

Oh man......I will be praying for you dear!!!!! What is with the luck us Dec folks are having??? I hope it turns out to be nothing, like you said, you are already dealing with enough! I have a sneeky suspicion you a are very strong lady and will be fine either way! ~now on the other hand I am kinda scared.....I went to my Ob/Gyn with the same complaint and he said it was normal to have some discharge.....I wonder if I should see someone else??? Take Care and keep us updated!! Jesi

Hi there my friends, How is everyone doing. Let me update a bit on my exciting life.Sunday night I had pains in my stomach again. I could not stand it. I went back to the hospital. I was in all weekend, but the pains continued. As you guys know I was in the hospital and had hernia surgery Setember 25th. I was also in the hospital in July. The dr then wanted to go in and look and I did not let him. After all I had WLS and I did not want to be operated again. Well They admitted me and did all kind of tests. Barium swallows, cat scans. GI series. You name it they did it. All tests were negative. I just got home. He told me I must take it easy, NO STRENUOUS ACTIVITY. I just don't know how to relax, but I guess I must. I went crazy in there. I was NPO all those days and now have just began eating again. Anyway guys...I am back now.... Lorraine

WoW! I am surprised at how little everyone is still eating!!!! I can eat about a cup at a time. I do not eat very regularly at all. At home I eat string cheese and cucumbers in a vinegar dressing as my favorite snack (usually 3/4 cup) Other snakc choices- I eat the carb well peanut butter protien bars or regular granola bars or a whole mini bag of popcorn. For breakfast I almost always have 1 bacon and cheese toaster scramble. We have been eating out a lot lately too- I do sandwhich and salad usually for lunch and can eat maybe 10 bites of salad and 1/4 of a sandwhich- maybe 4 or 5 fries sometimes. Or I get a BLT and eat half and a few fries. Dinner is almost always steak or shrimp when I go out. I can have maybe 3 oz of steak and a few small bites of the sides and stuff- like maybe 3 or 4 bites of salad, the same of the veggie or potatoe and the steak- sounds like a lot to me!!!!! AT home I cook for my family like I always have and I eat whatever we are having. Mexican food, italian, meat and potatoes with a veggie.... it doesn't matter I eat it- I just stick to protein first, then some veggies, then some of the starch if I have room. I do avoid sweets almost all together and that isn'y because I make myself- I just never did care much for em. I may have 1 sf snack a week or some real ice cream once a month if that. The granola bars are like a dessert treat for me. I also do the mini bags of chips maybe once or twice a week as a snack. Sorry if this is more than you wanted to know. I am still losing. It's slowed down to about 8 lbs a month the last 2 months and I have about 30 to go til goal. I also exercise at least 2 times a week. Shawna 360/222/190
