Morning Cheryl.
Don't you wish we had heard someone in a support group say "I like my band, but GEEZE can it through you for a loop when it wants!"  or SOMETHING to that effect??  I know prior to getting mine, everyone at the groups were 100% positive w/their comments.  Noone mentioned having stuck episodes more than once or twice, or how no matter how much you stick to the band rules you CAN still have issues that make you wonder what the hell you were thinking in the first place.  I kinda of wonder if people were just afraid of scaring new patients away or something. lol  Cause whoa mamma has my "ride" been different!   But, as you said, it is all about finding what works for us and making sure we get the help we need as soon as we feel we need it.  I may be over 2 years out, but EVERY day is a learning day.
I'm glad you discovered your allergy...not to say I am glad you have it, just that you know it's there.  Now you can (and are) work around that.  I can totally imagine your belly yelling at you in the morning. lol  I know mine would be if I had to put breakfast off for more than an hour after waking up.  Not to mention how cranky I'd be.  I tend to be a little moody when I'm hungry (or tired for that matter).   Hopefully you'll be able to pin-point what triggers the mucus issue.  Good luck.

I'll be popping in here a few times a week, so I'll keep an eye out for your posts.  :)  I'll definitely be keeping in touch.

Thanks for the support...know you have mine as well.
Well, I'm off to get a few household chores done so that later I can take the kids to see the Peter Pan play in Portsmouth.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  :)  Looks like it's going to be great weather-wise.

Talk to you soon.
