Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea Extra (from their Wellness line) has valerian in it. As well as some mint. Silly as this sounds I swear that's what has me now on a more regular cycle both for sleep and bowels. Just about 6 weeks ago or so I was having horrid troubles with going from one extreme to the other and not sleeping well but I started drinking a cup of Sleepytime at night and now I sleep deeply and have a cleansing morning *grin*. If you can't find the Sleepytime Extra in the stores Celestial Seasonings has a terrific website you can order from as well http://www.celestialseasonings.com/ . Also if you need a bit of a boost for energy try their Sunburst C or Ginseng Energy .. all of the ones I've mentioned are caffeine free. Be sure when your checking them out you look for the Caffeine Free herbals because they do infact sell quite a few that do have caffeine so be careful. Melanee in Baltimore Re: Sleeping too much... try getting some valerian root, you can get it in any regular drug store, it's a natural sedative. It smells, but it's in capsule form. Take 2. My therapist told me about them a really long time ago, because I work shifts at times and have problems getting back on track.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 I go out, and order a plate like everyone else. Or if it is hubby and I, I just take a little off his plate. When I order a plate, I focus on protein and veggies, and get a doggie bag. Makes for a good lunch for the hubby or kids the next day, all the left overs. Hugs, Jules Romero noliptoday@...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Arlene, I got some folks to take me to 's when I was a month out, and they got some chili. I had a tiny bit of it, with those real crunchy tortilla chips. I remembered to eat really slowly, and take tiny little bits, even though I was so busy talking and talking. It was great fun, and the food went down without a problem. ANother thing you could do is go to a buffet place and only pick out the stuff you like. Don;t be afraid of it. You deserve to go out now more than you ever did... Cheers! Sharon in D.C. Re: Sleeping too much... I am almost 4 weeks post op. If I do go out, what should I order? I miss socializing with friends.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Isn't it always? People laugh when I say that the bread is just something to hold the butter because it would be rude to eat butter with a spoon. lol. My latest is taking a piece of deli meat, rolling it up and squirting mayo through the middle. YUM! I don't necessarily want the deli meat, but I can't very well let my kids see me eating mayo with a spoon. As it is, my oldest thinks that ketchup is eaten with a spoon. Wonder where he gets that from!! ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comR http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!
