Wow!  5 am comes awfully early in the morning!  Ok, I've got a little TMI for ya.  Learn this lesson well.  Our bodies are not meant to have to many carbs.  Especially the dry, snack related ones!  I'm so constipated it hurts!!  I've taken a something for it, but last night, it hurt so bad it was making me throw up at the same time!!  Do not do this!  Stay away from the carbs!!  Heed my lesson well!!  This is what happens when you are three years out and you think you can get away with murder when you eat!  Don't do it!  LOL!!

Ok, enough of the TMI station.  Hopefully, I can go to work today and not be totally miserable!!  If nothing works today, I may be staying home tomorrow and using something REALLY STRONG!  In the mean time, how's everyones Wednesday so far??  LOL!!

Well, better get into the shower and get to work, such as it is.  Hope you have a great day!!  Love ya!

 Morning Laura,

Let me share my "remedy" for severe constipation....Trust me....you won't like it though but it works for me everytime.  When I get totally miserable with constipation problems this was recommended by my Bariatric surgeon and it worked for me and others too.  I go to Walmart or anywhere else that you can get them and I buy some Dulcolax Supposatories.   I can hear you saying OWWWEEE now !!!  LOL  But they work for me.  Just thought that I would share that with you.  The directions say that they work in 15 minutes and trust me....that is all the time it takes for me.   Good luck !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Glycerin suppositories work just as well and they are TONS cheaper.  I paid about $5 for 50 of them.

GOOD MORNING! Hope you feel better today Laura! No fun for sure.
Finished my 2 day training in Dallas-thankfully. My right foot is still bothering me so I might have to break down and go to the doctor. I know I'll need to see a foot doc but have to see my PCP first. I am going to ask to see a new foot doc because this has been going on for years, on and off, and I'd like to see if there are other options. Foot surgery though isn't an option for me, unless the doc really feels strongly about it. Foot surgery is the worst! I've had 2 now.
Going to be out in meetings all morning, then hopefully I can play some catch-up in the afternoon at work. My work e-mailbox is almost full-outlook keeps fussing at me. Better dump some stuff soon!
Chris is enjoying camp thankfully. He told us all about it last night over dinner.
Hope everyone has a great day today!!!

Good Morning Laura and the rest of my TMB Family,

Happy Hump day!  Laura I sure hope you feel better soon.  I end up having to take Correctol now and again when that happens.  Lately it happens a lot cause of the pain medication they have me on!  Oh well.  Have a busy day today.  Eric and I both have 8:30 appts to have medication checks.  Then I have an appt this afternoon for a pre-admit for the procedure they are doing on Monday.  (Shot in my siliac joints)  When I had the injections in my lower back they did it at his office.  Not sure why the hospital this time.  Will ask lots of questions today.  I am so looking forward to Dinner on Saturday night with all my friends that I have no seen in forever.  We are going to come up early, and go to the grassy nole, and then to the Science Museum.  Eric is such a science geek that I am sure he will love it and I cant wait to see the IMAX.  Have any of you been there?  Is it fun?  Then we are going to check into a Hotel relax, shower, and get ready for dinner.  I cant wait.  88 days till we are on our way to DE.  Cant wait to see my son and grandson!  Ok time to get a move on.  Prayers for all in need this morning, but special ones for Meggie, and Dana's sister.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.  Michelle

Morning Laura!  Sorry for the pain in the butt, lol; ok bad joke.  I do understand the discomfort, I have more issues with eating just protein and not enough variety.  You need to add some fiber to you diet, works wonders.

I am going into work late today.  No babysitter for the boys until around 11.  My MIL had a cyst removed from her back and has been fighting the infection for 3 weeks.  They are having to open it up today and clean it out.  My mom is in Houston with my sister, all my teenage nieces and nephews start sport stuff for school, neighbor kid not home.  I'm ready for them to go back to school then I don't get put in this situation.  My boss is understanding that goodness.

I'm really proud of myself the past 2 days, it's amazing when I log my intake and seriously get fearful of the regain I can turn that switch and make good choices, and amazingly so when you don't eat the juke  you aren't hungry, duh.  I won't weigh till tomorrow or Friday that way I won't stress about the numbers.

Prayers for all in need today.  And to each of you be kind to yourself, and BELIEVE in you.

Hugs,
