Hi sorry about your battle of the bulge. I just noticed the med you take, my

husband has the same problem and he would go through thoughs pills like candy

and still be in pain, his doctor prescribed Prilosec, it worked great but gave

him a headache immediately after his afternoon dose, the the Doc gave him Nexium

and it is wonderful, he takes 1 a day and no pain or sickness, just thought I

would share in case this could help you somehow.

Hugs & Baby Wishes,

In 1978 after the birth of my second son I had gained

quite a bit of weight. When he turned 2 yrs. old him

and my oldest son who was 4 at the time were playing

in the yard. I was laying on a lawn chair trying to

catch some sun. They both came up to me and my

youngest son grabs a handful of my thigh and says

" Mommy these Jiggle like jello " I felt so bad (even

though it was cute). I hadn't weighed myself in awhile

and so I went in and stepped on the scale and it said

250 lbs. I hadn't realized how much weight I had

actually gained. That day I told myself that I wanted

to be thin once again, wear clothes that didn't come

off the extra-large rack, and not have to worry about

how I dressed when I went out, and started on a diet.

I didn't do any diet from a book, I did my own diet. I

lost 132 lbs in 14 mos., I felt like shit to say the

least. You are probably saying, why would she feel

like shit? Well the reason being is I didn't diet

properly. Sure I went from a size 22 to a size 5 but I

didn't enjoy it like I should have been doing. I would

eat a little one day and starve myself for 2 days week

after week. I took diet pills, dexatrim, white cross

and any thing else I could get my hands on. I caught

every flu and illness that came my way. When my cycle

would come around I would sleep till 1:00 pm every day

because I was to sick and weak to get out of bed.

Please! As a word of warning do not diet that way.

diet sensibly. Sure I could do it again but I remember

to well how I felt and it was not any fun at all. That

is why I take 600 milligrams of Rantanidine each and

evey day for the rest of my life. The acid ate my

stomach something fierce and I was never the same. I

will post a pic from 1982 on here on Monday and you

can see how skinny I was, even after 2 children. I

will look for my (over sized woman) pictures and post

them too so you can see what I looked like before the

weight loss.

love and Hugz- Terrie
