oh my!

[Guest guest]

Oh my! Geoff in a girdle. Now that's an image I will have to ponder.

Face life or abdominoplasty should have read face lift or

abdominoplasty. I suppose you all figured that out. Freudian?

Good idea Janet: I will try alcohol. The water sips didn't work. As a

matter of fact they made me barf. Fortunately this guy is very

understanding. I should keep him around just for that. How many guys

would put up with " excuse me I have to throw up before I go to bed with

you. " ?

There are some before and after abdominoplasties on plastic surgery web

sites that I have seen before. They are pretty gross but if you are

curious I am sure your search engine can help you find them.

Thanks Denny. Oh yes, Omeprazol - that is called Prilosec in the US.

You have to have a prescription for it. Dr. Fox offered it to me and I

was thinking of calling today to ask him to call in a prescription. The

stuff is really expensive.

Alka Seltzer worked a bit but since I threw up before I took it I am not

sure if it will work again. I am looking for the cheap way out.

Yes, they joys of puking Sharon! Did you ever think you'd be glad you

were throwing up? It lets you know the band is working. I try not to

become a surgical bulimic but a girl's gotta' do what a girl's gotta'

do. I think angostura bitters is another form of alcohol. I am

wondering if a margarita would work. I will try something if I get the

gurgles again tonight.

Speaking of bulimics: I saw Lady Di's dresses at Pacific Place

yesterday. Some very very beautiful gowns. Beautiful bead work. Size

6 and 8's. She had a nice bod - although a little thick waisted by

American standards. Lots of pictures of her and her charity work. It

was a sad but lovely exhibit.

Lori: when I was plagued with depression I was helped immensely by a

book called " Women and the Blues " by . I still read

various chapters from time to time. It's a small paperback and probably

available from Amazon.com.

Over the weekend I read Little Altars Everywhere - Wells -

recommended by someone on this list. It was very, very good. Some of

the stories reminded me of 's. Ya-Ya Sisterhood (same author) is

next.

OK end of the Monday missal - Except for the good news: I lost another

4 lbs. Down a total of 66 since 10/2/98 - although I don't like to

quote that date since the band didn't really start working for the first

2 or 3 months. 214# to 148#

that's 97 kg to 67 kg. That's $151 per pound! Oh I am so worth it!

Thanks for all you help and support! Checking in with you all daily has

made this journey easier for sure.
