Beth, Sounds like you got yourself good and tight! Think you'll get an unfill? You're sure not eating very much.

Hey there Nancy - I am going to do liquids for at least tomorrow. I don't think I am too tight because there are days I can eat a huge amount of food. I think it has to do with the weather change - every time it gets really cold here I get really tight. If I don't loosen up with in a few days I will call the doc. Thanks for caring!

Beth I have seen you eat. You are a model bandster! Pea size bites and very slow. Jus****ch yourself. Are you tired? Are you getting enough calories?

I am tired and I know I am not getting enough calories. But on a bright note I have lost the weight I gained from Thanksgiving through New Years. I think I wasn't paying attention and not chewing well enough. I don't know - really nothing has changed I just can't figure out why some days I am super tight and other days I am able to eat more. I really don't want an unfill but, it looks like I may have to call the doctor if things don't change. I am going to stick with liquids today (not that I want to) and see if that helps. I do have a lot of stuff going on so my stress level is up a tad - I just don't know.

Well, honey, are you over-stressed, or is it TOM, or not chewing, or(STOP me)! ha Quit thinking about it, and maybe you'll have no prob! You know the drill, when was your last fill? I can't remember! You know I had several fills that didn't kick in for like 3-4 weeks, and then lasted a long time! You just never know!

Hi sweet Sharon ~ My last fill was in September. I am overly stressed because of work. I have so many needs in my room and I am so overwhelmed I feel like I am doing my students an disservice and that I should not be in the classroom anymore. I have the special needs children this year and then in October I got an emotional disturbed child and he yells at me every day. My special educator is never there, never leaves substitute plans when he is not there, and doesn't do his job when he is there. I just don't know what to do anymore. And the kicker??? Everyone looks to me as the mentor teacher and that I am handling it all. I am tired. I am upset because my students are not growing academically this year like in years past. You know the saying "If you plant corn you get corn?" Well, my corn isn't growing. I am going to try to eat something tonight.

Well, maybe take it slow,and eat a little on the muchy side, and work up to real solids, again? You have an awful lot of stress, and that will make you SO tight! That's when I have my PB's, when I'm stressed out! Keep us posted, sweetie! I feel so for teachers, my DIL is one, and I know what she goes through! She is a HS Chemistry teacher, and those kids are brutal! Take a hot , and have a glass of nectar, hon!

B: The usual L: Fajita beef nachos - ate very little of the cheese or chips but ate all the beef with salsa, also had some refried beans on them D: 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich on homemade cheese-herb bread S: Ice cream bar I will start doing better, I promise!!! only 32 oz water so far...

Tomorrow, tomorrow, we always have tomorrow! That's the beauty of the Band! ha Someone has a bread machine! I'd get into SO much trouble if I had one! Used to make old fashioned sourdough, in my hippie days, and THAT helped get me here!
