Hi Heather, today was a bad day.  I went to the doc today and he put me on more meds.  GREAT!   I'm now on blood pressure pills and he put me back on my xanax...thank god, I missed that drug!ha  He actually even increased my xanax, so should be interesting! :)  If the bp pills dont work for my head in two to three weeks I have to get an MRI.

B:  kefir and kashi go crunch

S:  almonds

L:  my head hurt so bad..but was starving so I just grabbed the closest thing I saw...two mini bagels w/cream cheese

L:  Another lunch...ham sandwich with mayo

D:  three pieces of chicken pizza

S:  ice cream from McD's.

OUCH!!  Enough said. :) 

I'm sorry you had such a bad day Holly!! I know what you mean about more meds...it seems like every other time I seem my doc I get more meds added! (Ok, maybe not THAT often, but it SEEMS like it!) I'm on bp meds too, and if nothing else, it helps with the swelling I have in my legs. And I'm on celexa, but a friend of mine has xanax as an 'emergency back-up pill' for her bad anxiety attacks, and I've been thinking of asking my dr. for a script of it for when my depression/anxiety gets really bad.

Have you been having migranes alot all of a sudden? Have they tried any other migrane meds? One I was going to try when I was having alot of migranes is Topamax, which is actually an anti-seizer med, but has been found to work great on migranes. The best part of that med (IMO) is that one of the common side effects is weight loss!  I hope your head gets better...MRI's suck! I've had one on my knees before....not something I want to repeat!

Ok this is what I'll have today:
B: Medifast Apple Cinnamon oatmeal 110 cal
S: Medifast Dutch Chocolate shake
L: MediFast Chicken Noodle Soup
S: Medifast Peanut Butter Crunch Bar
D: 1 1/2 chicken breast broiled with paprika, cayenne pepper garlic and balsamic vinegar(yummy!)
S: Medifast chocolate Pudding

160 oz of water throughout the day(this program makes you thristy!)

I've dropped 19 lbs in 9 days on the program so far, and blood pressure's gone from extremely high to just above normal! The best thing is I never feel hungry or crave anything(like KFC or Wendy's anymore!, or Coldstone!) This program is awesome!  I'll post my before and after once I've lost some more weight. My wife is on it too, and sh'es lost 10 lbs in 9 days. My friend Joel lost 70 lbs in 4 mos, and my other friend Lorraine lost 86 lbs in 11 mos.  I expect to be at my goal weight by mid summer!
