Vitamin Questions
12/05/08
I am looking for feedback on what kind of vitamins, how much, how often, etc. your taking. I am taking Centrum Silver Multi Chewable, Biotin, Sublingual High Complex B, and Calcium Soft Chews w/ Vitamine D. I am specifically looking for a liquid Multi V. Any suggestions? I was taking Liquid Centrum Multi V but the taste wasn't all that, ahem pleasing, shall I say???
Also, I have a bottle of 100 and a bottle of 15 Centrum MultiVitamins, Silver for free. They are the same kind that I always buy, however they are tablet form. I tried to exchange them at WalMart, but they wouldn't take them b/c I didn't have the receipt (idiots). That's what I get for rushing!
I've posted a picture of them so you can see the actual box. I opened the small bottle of 15, but the bottle of 100 is unopened. Anyhoo, it is your's for the asking.

Grateful For...
12/01/08
This morning I weighed in at 149 lbs - 149.2 to be exact.
I SO thoroughly enjoyed cooking, but I ate next to nothing and I mean NOTHING. For example, I would have LOVED to have some of the potato salad or tuna salad or macarooni and cheese or dressing I made - just a small amount, only a little bit, oh heck! I'd even settle for a half a bite!! But I know I couldn't b/c I'd pay for it by being sick and throwing up - ruining the day. So I just sat there while everyone feasted (like they hadn't eaten in days) and I had my creamy tomato soup w/ romano cheese. I convinced myself it was "all good".....
I'm glad to be back at work where I'm not surrounded by all that food and having to look away from it. I don't think I've been more thankful, in a long time, to see wood furniture, plants, beige walls, grey/black carpet, etc. than I am right now. You just don't know. You JUST don't know..... 
Now, I gotta' get through friggin Christmas, oh joy.........

Down Two, Up Two
11/25/08
I weighed in this morning at 151 - back up 2 lbs. I'm ok w/ that, really. I knew I'd creep back up a pound or two b/c when I was sick as a dawg over the w'end, I literally ate and drank next to nothing. So all in all I've really lost 2 lbs. But hey, don't get me wrong it WAS nice to see the scale start with "1 4". 
Outside of that, I'm doing pretty ok. I'm eating split pea and ham soup for lunch. Good gracious you don't know how badly I want to eat the ham!! but I know I can't. I can't say it's the most appetizing, but whatever vitamins and minerals I can get in naturally, I'll do, so it's all good.
I've taken a couple pairs of pants to the cleaners to be taken in at the waist and down the entire outer seam - to the tune of $82.00 - ouch!! Money I really don't have especially during the holiday season, but they were just too big and I was starting to look a little sloppy. Besides it's more cost effective to have them taken in as opposed to just buying 1 new pants suit. Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. 
Thanks for the info on hair loss, thinning, weaves, wigs, etc. It's definately a lot to digest, but keep it coming.  I'm waiting to hear back from a few friends on places where they've been for hair extensions. I hope something pans out soon...

Slimming Down, But.....
11/24/08
I weighed in this morning at 149. Yes, that's great, yippee, yahoo and all that buuuut....... You see, my husband bought a pizza for dinner friday nite. I prepared myself sweet potatoes the night before and while waiting for them to heat, well, I had two small bites of the cheese w/ sausage (no crust) and yeah, well you know - it didn't agree with me. I was not able to keep down anything since Friday - and I mean nada! I was sick as a damn dawg all weekend. Right now I'm having creamy tomato soup and so far I'm able to keep it down. The operative words being "so far"....
As you know, I've been talking alot about the thinning of my hair  and I'm sure this is due to my not getting in enough protein so I call the nutritionist today to talk about what I can do to get in more protein, other types of protein, and just protein in general. Well, ok... let me just say this. She kinda pissed me off. She asked why I wasn't eating meat - fair question. I told her b/c I'm no longer able to tolerate it, she said something like, "well you were able to tolerate it before." Well I let her comment hang in the air a bit and she obviously caught on and then said, "Oh, I believe you, it just seems a little weird that you can't tolerate it now."
Maybe it was the way she said it, I don't know, but I was a little taken aback by her tone. I felt like saying, "Look bitch, just give me some damn protein advice". Yeah I'm kinda feeling like that. I guess b/c I've been hungry and this tomoto soup hasn't quite sqaushed my hunger pangs yet - LOL!!  But you will be pleased to know that I just responded, "No I haven't been able to tolerate meats for months". We set up an appointment for Dec 8th.
Does anyone have any advice on protein? I can not tolerate meat of ANY kind - even the smallest amounts, however I can tolerate fish. The protein drinks/shakes make me constipated as heck (TMI, sorry) so I tend to shy away from them, but it looks like I may have to go back to them - ugh!!
Help me out peeps!! Help me out!!

Thinning Hair
11/18/08
My hair is thining. I think it's pretty much stabilized now, but it's definately thinned ALOT - most notably on the top front. I need some advice on hair weaves, pieces, or whatever they're called, but I definately need your help.
When we went home over the weekend, I ran my fingers through my sister's hair, Leslie, and her hair is so thick and full like mine used to be. This was quite distressing for me, although I think I hid my emotion well. I'm taking my vitamins, high potency multi, high complex B sublinqual, calcium chew, and from time to time Biotin (although I don't take this one daily b/c I've read that it doesn't work). But I'm at the point now where I need to do something. I'm real worried.
I've been going to the hair dresser every other week for maintenance so I can keep what I have healthy.
Can anyone recommend something??

My Story 08/27/07 - I am working on becoming a healthier me. It's going to take me some time to write this, so please be paitent. I am sort of scared of the unknown. I'm having my LapBand done next Thursday, Sept 6th and I am excited beyond words!!! I'll write more later. Right now, I have to think about what to say. :-)
Update to My Story - I've never had a weight problem and everyone in my family is thin to very thin. I didn't know it back then, but I used food as a comfort. Some people use drugs, some alcohol, some have promiscuous sex, but I used food. When I was happy - I ate. When I was sad - I ate. When I was feeling up, down, right or left - I ate. And then I ate.... and ate.... and ate. It became a vicious cycle. A ride, NO one would ever get on willingly.
Now I am on a road to recovery as I like to call it. Believe me, what you're going through - I've BEEN through. I know how you hurt. Join me to become a HEALTHIER me AND you.
