I remember saying I wanted my money back too... LOL my doctor had told me that I would loose a pound a day for x amount of time, then 1/2 pound, then 1/4 pound, and so on.. well he meant that would average out that way... I took it LITERALY a pound a day and when that didn't happen I was FREAKEN OUT.. I can't wait till your up to signing and visiting with us again.. theresa

LOL he got so mad.. told the person he was sitting with that I was a mean ***** no, I just didn't want to talk to him, and I have been watching too much "blue comedy tour" and HERE"S your sign!! Theresa

Hi there! Better late than never, huh? I would write a ton more right now, but just ate Chinese and it's not setting too well. Suffice it to say that I've been burning the candles at both ends and I'm paying for it. I will probably be back in a few hours posting up a storm though! Dina

DINA, I was getting worried about you.. you used to be so vocal and then you just disapeared.. so I am guessing that dam chinese food got the best of you huh? was it the sugar, the oil, or the MSG??? I was 22 when I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia.. thank you chinese food!! LOL.. it was the MSG that would irritate and make it hurt like hell.. write more and let us know how your doing Theresa

Yeah - I know. I try to get here as often as I can but life has been kicking my buttocks. I have too many things going on and I don't know when to say no. Not only that, but they changed some rules at work, so things I used to be able to accomplish there I can no longer do. So I have to learn to adjust accordingly! The Chinese did indeed get the best of me, but mostly I just had to go sleep. But funny thing, even though I don't have a typical dumping episode, I will find that certain foods make me very sleepy. Kind of reminds me of my old carb comas. Maybe this is just another form of dumping I'm starting to experience though. The MSG never bothered me though, thank goodness! Dina

Hi Teresa, Nice to hear from you!! Matt and I just got back from Seaside!! I was able to ride the go-karts, which was one of my goals pre-op. We had a great time and were able to walk on the beach and have FUN!!! We are going camping next weekend! August is our busy vacation month!! Are you going to plan another get together? Today is my 6 month anni and I am down 133 total!! YEAH~~~ Let us know!!! Thanks, Sarah
