189.1 yay down into the 180's that is 13 pounds down Since jan 4th.
bizi Cherie, you gave up drinking eat smaller portions only eat what you love, eat more slowly. watch the carbs. my dinner last night at a friends house cooked nothing but carbs. 2 meat ball stew, 1 small piece of bread crispie,small amount of rice like a 1/4 cup. one cup of turnips 2 small servings of green beans and a small piece of lemon cake. sounds like a lot of food. oh and 1/4 cup of corn. so many carbs in one meal!!!!!! It was delicious. we played a trivia game after dinner.(I am miserable at trivia). our team won.Melissa lost and she is very competitive! well I took a shower yesterday and washed my hair so all I need to do this morning is my skin care routine. and of course figure out what to wear. Have a great sunday yall. I hope the storm is mild. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

That's fantastic, bizi. I constantly try to cut down on portions, but I usually end up so hungry. I feel pretty sure it's because of the Seroquel, though. I'm hoping to completely get off it by spring.
Have a nice Sunday! __________________ |

Drink more water to help your efforts.I don't deprive myself of certain foods I just limit how much I am eating. Not drinking alcohol has helped a lot.
good luck with your taper off seroquel. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

I love water, fortunately. That's one big plus I have going for me.

I am done working for the day.
I finished the never ending charting, got caught up yay! I did 2 loads of laundry and folded them and put a way. I got my calender set for febuary. filed the cards that always get stacked up. Made a few phone calls. Faxed orders to MDS for signature. It has been a productive weekend. If I had been drinking none of that would have been done. I am drinking hot tea. Jeff went out of town to sit in with a jam session. wonder if he will play along with them? I know he will have fun either way. I am thinking I will go to burger king right down the corner from us and get the low carb whopper(no bun) for dinner. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

No joke, I asked for extra mayo on the burger and they dumped 1/2 cup of mayo on my burger.I scrapped it off leaving behind some mayo., on top of cheese slices.
It was good, not as good as a regular whopper with the bread and ketchup. ended up costing $5 for just the burger. their sign says 2 whopper meals for $10. when jeff got home from his jam session. he went to mcdonalds for a quarter pounder with cheese. I am sure he enjoyed his burger more than I did. anyway I am still not hungry so that was my goal. I have drank a lot of fluid today. Hope I am not up all night going to the bathroom. the senna and stool softener are not working today. We will see how tomorrow goes. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

I was taking 8 colace with poor results hard painful BM's, constipation.
The senna may be habit forming....I don't care...I don't like the pain/bleeding nor the constipation. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

Have you tried Amitiza? It's prescription but it was a life saver to me until I developed some food allergies that take away the issue. I was on it for many years. I still sometimes needed a boost of Senna, dulcosate or ducolax (and often combined it with Miralax depending on what meds I was taking) but I went regularly, especially after I learned how to use whatever I needed to supplement the Amitiza.
There's also Linzess but it gave me horrible diarrhea so no go for me with that one. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

Thanks for your post beyond the rainbow.
Linzess costs $450 dollars per month. I am not eligible for the discount card. glad that you found something that works for you.

If you can't get the discount card you often can qualify for patient assistance. It will give criteria about income, having Medicare or whatever but I've found that if you apply and include a note saying that I really need this med but it costs $450/month and I can't afford that and can I have an exemption then they will approve it and I get the med free. I've never been rejected and I have done this with several meds over the years.
It might be worth a shot. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

Thank you rainbow,
We make too much money for assistance, hubby is a professor and I am a nurse. I just don't want to pay $450. when the senna stops working I may have to go with miralax. I have a lazy colon. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |
