stuff

[Guest guest]

I loved reading all the stories about surgery experiences in Mexico and in

France. I'm laughing as statements remind me of my own experiences of the

surgery. And I certainly never got a translation sheet. Glad you are all

back.

Should the new websites have an introduction page with the pictures of

these gorgeous surgeons on it titled " FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN " ?

Regarding the support group for crazy mothers... After living with my

mother for over a year now, I finally understand much of her

craziness....it was her crazy mother. (o:

Personal note to Jessie regarding GERD and " AWFUL " morning breath - this

single woman almost wishes she had to be concerned with morning breath.

Maybe I'm just a little jealous.

GRAVITY BUSTERS - I'll get with the program soon, guys, I promise - I've

been a little pre-occupied with some personal matters. The horse appears

to be better, so I'll be back on track soon.

I see a couple of you have answered my tease regarding exercise. I was

hoping to get some " how I got motivated enough to exercise " stuff so I

could get myself motived. Yeah, Jessie an appartment near you would help,

but I really want a farm so I can view the kids.

THE SUGARLESS SHACK - I found them online at one time and they started

sending me some product fliers. For anyone who is interested, they now

carry Dr. Atkins products with no sugar and low or no carbs. They are

located in Las Vegas, but do mailorder, sorry don't remember the online

address.

Lastly, I met with my doctor yesterday. I've only had 3cc in my band. He

added 1cc and I promptly threw up the cup of broth I'd had for lunch, so he

took half back out. Surprisingly, I was actually down 10 pounds since my

visit five weeks ago. I had been so wanting to eat through my depression

and so knowing that I shouldn't, and so fighting the urge - being very good

about staying away from the Ben & Jerrys icecream. He said that he is

finding the Atkins theories to be very effective for band patients - thats

protein, protein, and only protein. He said if I wanted to go on a

strictly liquid protein it was OK with him if I promised to take my

vitamins and tums. It took me about 5 minutes to drink the two little cups

of water and he told me to finish two more and then he'd let me go home.

No GERD last night. Things are going down real slow this morning. My

attitude is much better (but news on the horse helped).

My fat is cheaper than Jessies, only because I didn't have to pay as much

(are we adding in the adjustment costs?)
