Heather - my apologies for my delay in getting back to you.  (I had a broadcast deadline.)  Feeling off is exactly what you'll feel and I imagine now that a few more days have passed you're in the thick of it. Most important is to try to keep your weight even.  Granted, you may lose some if you're too nauseated to eat but most people gain it back after the storm passes. Glad you were able to get the sea bands and the plums.  They were my heavenly friends and hopefully they're working for you.  If you need acupuncture, let us know.  It's important that you not do without.  I found bathing in oils, bubble baths, or whatever substance you like helpful, sea salt, if you wish.  It's soothing and you need all the soothing you can get. How's it going today?

I'm ok just not prime and it's only the night after. I'll avoid my favorite foods but it's hard for me topicyure eating anything at this moment. :/ heather

128 lbs

8 lb drop this weekend. boo. i was ok with 132, 135 is better but this is crazy. But what do they expect when they put so much crap in my system then give me more drugs to band aid the symptoms.
For some reason soups make me hurl this weekend. Steak and pasta with greens sound better.  And today for some reason I really wished I could eat a Whopper with fries. Not really, but kind of.
