Teddybear | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 12:34 pm     I havent been here in a while, I know. But I wanted to give an update. I was having such a hard time giving up cokes. Alot of ya'll gave me advise, but I just kept on drinking and drinking it. Well, I gave it up for lent and havent drank any since Feb.12th! I have drank Diet Coke because I was having headaches, but havent had coke! |
Dilligaf | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 08:16 pm     OK, after 3 months of little or no discipline, I bit the bullet. I am a lifetime member of Jenny Craig. There isn't a center here in my new city so I ordered the program online. Just paid $500 for the entire months worth of food. I start next Wednesday. Not sure if many of you know this, but since I quit smoking (see other thread ) I have been having serious trouble with HEARTBURN. Went to the doctor yesterday and he is going to do an endoscopy with esophageal dilation next Friday. Wish me luck!! He also put me on the "little purple pill (Nexium)". Today is the first day I've had without heartburn in over 5 months. It's a miracle!! Now let's pray that I can lose 15 lbs in the next 79 days. June 1st wedding is FAST approaching. How is everyone?? I miss you guys...........Dilli |
Gail | Friday, March 15, 2002 - 08:22 pm     Dilli - my brother and I spent a week visiting my mom last week. He quit smoking about 6 months ago and is suffering from terrible heartburn and possibly that reflux problem. I think he is have an endoscopy next week. One of the things he says helps is raising the head of his bed about 6 inches. |
Angelnikki | Saturday, March 16, 2002 - 06:43 pm     Dilli, i had an endoscopy a couple of months ago. However, i have never smoked in my life, i suffer from serious serious heartburn. I was put on prevacid(same as nexium) and i had to take that pill every morning on an empty stomach. It totally cured the heartburn i was suffering from. I didnt even have to eat anything and i had serious heartburn I have acid reflux. I ran out of my pills and I havent had them for about 3 weeks. Just recently I started to get the heartburn back and I went to fill my prescription yesterday and found out that my medicine has gone from 20.00 a month to 50.00. I almost cryed. I couldnt get the pills because i cant afford that money. People just dont know what a serious problem this acid reflux is and how bad it can get. Anyway, the endoscopy doesnt hurt and its not scary in any way. They will check if you have erosions in your esopheges(sp?) |

Tess | Sunday, March 17, 2002 - 01:31 am     We miss you, too, Dilli. Good luck on Friday. It will be fine even though it sounds scary. I've had one of those done and I'm a huge chicken. Guess what? I'm still alive!! Did the Nexium help at all today or is it still too early? I'm so proud of you for all you've accomplished so far. You will be stunning in your wedding dress because you're already beautiful and one of the sweetest people alive. Hang in there, Dilli, and let us know how things go. Hugs-- |
Webkitty | Sunday, March 17, 2002 - 01:45 pm     I need to join this thread! I am a foodaholic, I mean it. I love to cook it, shop for it, talk about it, think about it and of course, eat it! I had major surgery last year that kept me sedidary for about 6 months. I've been fighting the good fight for years but I've always been able to exercise and it did make a difference, at least I was "firmly" overweight by not TOO much. Now I feel like a big bowl of jello! None of my clothes fit and I'm not spending money for a whole new wardrobe. (I must be the only woman on earth missing that gene) Today was my first day back at the health club in a year so that's a first step but I need help with the food part. I'm totally out of control. Has anyone tried the Suzanne Sommers plan? (I haven't read thru all the posts here) It SEEMS to make sense, sugar in any form, including carbs will make you gain weight, but the food combining part of it seems complicated. Any suggestins or help would be appricated! |
Dilligaf | Sunday, March 17, 2002 - 06:39 pm     Today is my third day on Nexium and that makes three whole days without heartburn. It's a miracle!!!!! I can't believe how much better I feel. Angelnikki...I know what you mean....WATER gave me heartburn. It was soooooooo frustrating!! I think the Nexium has cured me but I'm going for the scope anyway. Better to be safe than sorry. For those of you with serious heartburn/reflux....does RICE bother you? Rice was my killer food. I couldn't touch it and I ate rice last night. I didn't get heartburn, but it still made me feel a little funny. I think that's why I'm going to keep the endoscopy scheduled. I want to be sure there isn't some sort of blockage or stricture. I'll keep you guys posted after Friday. OK....back to the dieting talk. My JC food gets here on Tuesday. I'm ready to get rid of this weight!! 78 more days!!!!! |
Sabbatia | Sunday, March 17, 2002 - 09:07 pm     Dilligaf, You will find that with those wonderful purple pills, you will be able to drop some weight. I was eating when I had heartburn. And yes, water gave me heartburn, as did dry toast, but peaunt butter was my biggie. You do need to go for the tests though! I did the same thing, I started feeling better and didn't really want to do them. It never hurts to know what you are dealing with. |
Angelnikki | Tuesday, March 19, 2002 - 02:31 pm     Dilli, the pills help but you really do need to endoscopy because you could have erosions or a problem with the esophogas(sp?) i got heartburn with anything and everything. mostly coffee in the morning which i dont have anymore. yes water gave me heartburn too it felt like my throat was on fire sometimes and then my chest would get tight and its scary. at times it felt like i was have anxiety attack. im ok now. i hope everything goes ok for you. |
Jewels | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:51 pm     How is everyone doing? Not a lot of activity in here lately, just wanted to make sure everyone is okay...  |
Webkitty | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 02:18 pm     Oops, that should have been sedentary, but I was really doing more laying down than sitting, so how 'bout just inert! Jewels, I have been wondering how Dilligaf made out, even though we haven't "talked" before. As for myself, I'm still munching away, and looking for a new fitness center. Sometimes I feel like Forrest Gump, I just want to start running and not stop until I've run off this excess weight!  |
Tess | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 02:47 pm     Jewels, I need some new inspiration. I'm afraid that since my sister's death I've been completely stuck. I'm ready to get back on track here but just haven't taken that first step. Last night my little girl picked out what she wanted to eat and then chose something for me as a surprise. She picked Wild Rice Soup with Ham and she was so proud of herself. Of course I heated it up and ate every bite--all 20g of fat worth. <sigh> |
Webkitty | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:35 pm     Tess, I'm looking for some inspiration tooooooo!!!! (sighing right along with you) Note: to make this even worse, my hubby can eat ANTYTHING and NEVER gain an ounce! notfairnotfairnotfair! |
Tess | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:51 pm     aaaaaaaaaack, Webkitty. My hubby is 6'4" and weighed 150 pounds when we got married. Within 2 years he gained 50 pounds (someone was finally feeding him) and looked great. He NEVER exercises. He eats a bunch of junk and he still has only gained another 10 pounds in the last 8 years. You're right--notfair!!!! We'll just have to inspire each other. Today so far I've had a slimfast shake, large banana and 10 oz of OJ (and 8 tiny jelly beans --shhhh) |
Webkitty | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 04:30 pm     Tess, you've been a good girl today! You deserve some inspiration. (aren't you leaving on a trip soon?) I have tried Slimfast in the past and it DID work for me, but I used to buy the powder that could be mixed with juice instead of milk. I haven't seen the juice powder around for awhile, do they even make it anymore? I've decided to go with the Suzanne Sommers plan because I have to eat protein. If I don't get enough I get shaky. I don't have alot of control over food, but it would be easier to give up potaoes, pasta and bread rather than meat. So today I had a salad with a hardboiled egg and crumbled bacon and tomatoes, bluecheese dressing. Now I am going to have some roast beef with greenbeans but no potatoes. For dessert I will be chewing on my knuckles Hang in there and BTW, I am sorry to hear about your sister. |
Tess | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:47 pm     Webkitty, I had to be good during the day because I knew there would be cheese pizza for dinner at my workshop, I had one very small piece. My downfall is bread and potatoes. Couldn't live without them. I haven't seen the slimfast juice powder but I only grab the shakes and run. It's usually a quick breakfast for me when I'm in the car. Thanks for you kind words. I'm ready to get back on track now. Yup, we're leaving on our trip April 1 but I'm sure I will maintain very well. I don't eat a lot of snack foods, even on long trips so it will be fine. |
