I was surprised how cold the water was there. The ocean was warm but those streams were so cold and most of the zipline was shaded. But we had a ton of fun.

Thanks Jen I ordered a manual lawn mower and it will be here next week. So before the grass gets too long, I'm hoping to get it done.
QJB Sorry about Instacart they usually text me to let me know if something isn't available or to substitute.
I had to make some changes to one of my jobs, they were all knit picky and not necessary. I really wanted to get the job out since it needs to be done ASAP, but the person *****viewed it had it for a week before she returned it to me with the changes she wanted. ARGHHH!! I'm OK it's done but I've wasted way to much time on this job to begin with.
Tomorrow is the celebration of life, so I'm looking forward to seeing friends again. Need to not drink too much since I have to drive home.
Waiting for the estimate for the new furnace, A/C and duct work. I'm hoping it is doable.
I want to run away from the kittens sometimes, they can drive me crazy.
I was trying to search for teeth issues on the forums but it won't give me anything. I think there is something wrong with the website. Does anyone know if the RNY can cause problems? I'm losing enamel and getting cavities, now I have to use a fluoride gel daily. And I have an 1 1/2 hour appointment to fix the current issues. I take my vitamins and calcium, so not sure what is going on. Has anyone else had issues?
Have a great Friday everyone!

Do you have reflux? I know that has potential for dental issues. A lot of people on the main board have said they can't search either so there's definitely something up. It's been that way for a few months.

Jen
My dentist said that calcium loss will effect your bones long before your teeth, so something like reflux is probably more likely.

I rarely, if ever, see posts about teeth. I asked my dentist about it before I had WLS because I was really freaked out about it. He said he'd read about it in the professional literature, but he's never actually seen it in any of his patients who've had WLS. My take on it is although it can happen, it's kind of rare.
my dentist said it's most likely caused by acid - like from frequent vomiting or untreated GERD. He started me on a prescription high-fluoride toothpaste I'm supposed to use before going to bed, and he also puts a fluoride varnish on my teeth every six months. He said those two things would go a long way toward preventing any future problems. However, I kind of think he did it more to placate me since I was so upset about the possibility of tooth problems. I honestly don't know of anyone who's had them...so again, I think it's pretty rare.

I thought it was just me. It's been going on for while.
