BBL done with local anesthesia? (photos)
To find doctors in your local area, please click here.
Doctor Answers 2
It depends on the surgeons preferred method of practise
Hi There!
You can have a spinal anesthesia, whereby you will be awake but will have no feeling of your abdomen and your buttocks. This is sometimes not the best choice for the surgeon and for the patient, as the surgeon is putting more focus into the patient's' comfort level. Some surgeons may feel that the are able to get the best results when the patient is not awake as they may feel they have to rush to keep the patient comfortable. It is not impossible, but it all depends on the surgeon's preferred method of practise.
Hope this helps!

Real Dream: Thomson Dream Cruise Review by LeedsCharley
Overall Member Rating
Real Dream
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Barbados
Embarking in Barbados we had to wait for over four hours for our luggage to arrive at our cabin but had been warned about this in advance as the Barbadians like to double check everything, apparently. I have since noted from other reviews that at nearly all embarkation ports there seems to be a long delay in receiving luggage, so wonder about this reason given.
We still had a fabulous time! Almost everything thereafter was superb - a couple of lifts did not work for our More duration and the retractable roof had retracted but would not close again as we found out in Roatan, Honduras, when it persisted it down - great dining, great service and fantastic entertainment from the on-board troupe of singers and dancers. Well done again to one and all!
A change to the itinerary (Margarita Island instead of Santa Marta in Columbia and two days in Cozumel instead of a previously set stop at Costa Maya) upset one lady enough to unsuccessfully seek compensation at Reception. We did stop at Costa Maya, however, as enough water had previously been taken on-board (the reason for not stopping there in the Captain's Q & A meeting one day was given that Costa Maya could not supply enough fresh water for the ship). Grenada(4), Margarita Island(3), Curacao(4), Aruba(5), Jamaica(4), Grand Cayman(5), Roatan(4), Costa Maya(4), Cozumel(5) and Havana(3) - a Southern & Western Caribbean Experience of the highest order!
Great places to visit and great excursions to go on. The figures in brackets are personal marks out of five for the ports themselves and take into account the excursions available. Thomson got them just about right.
All food areas served great meals and the drinks service was amazing. A personal thing for us here, though, was our preference for set dining options (a late or early sitting in the Orion Restaurant would have worked better, we felt) instead of the open sitting that the Thomson Dream's large restaurant operated. For that reason we prefer the Destiny. There was, after all, an early and later show performance given on all nights except for the captain's Gala evening and the comedians shows. That apart, this was a fantastic cruise to go on and one we would recommend to one and all. We would travel on the Dream again, too.
Bon Voyage! Less
Published 02/27/11
Cabin review: IN5095
Lovely cabin - just right for us and slightly larger than the ones we have experienced on Thomson's Destiny and Celebration.
Port and Shore Excursions
Stunning place - great sights - wonderful weather. Piece De Resistance has to be "Stingray City".
A lot of U.S. citizens were here this time also. Glad we could get away from it (and them) all on an excellent organised trip called "Discover Grenada"!

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) Flooding killed at least 11 people in Vietnam's southern and central regions, submerged thousands of homes in its largest city and stranded air and railway passengers, officials said Sunday.
The country braced for more rain as another tropical storm approached, forecasters said.
Floods caused by surging high tides submerged thousands of homes in the southern commercial hub of Ho Chi Minh City over the weekend, according to state media.
No deaths were reported in the city, but television footage showed homes and streets in the downtown area under three feet (one meter) of water.
At least eight people were killed in heavy rains in southern Khanh Hoa province over the weekend, including a 2-year-old boy who drowned, said disaster official Pham Van Quang.
In neighboring Phu Yen province, the bodies of three children were recovered Sunday after being washed away from their homes, said provincial official Dang Thi Lanh.
The floods disrupted the main highway and railway links between northern and southern Vietnam. Flights were canceled to Nha Trang, a southern beach resort town. Thousands of passengers were stranded, Lanh said.
Rains had stopped in most areas by Sunday afternoon, but Tropical Storm Noul, packing winds of 45 miles (70 kilometers) per hour, was expected to make landfall Tuesday in the country's central region and the Mekong River delta, Vietnam's rice bowl, the national forecaster said.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung urged provinces to move people to higher ground and call home thousands of fishing boats.
"This storm, though not very strong, is expected to hit hard the vast delta, where houses are not well built. So it could be a very devastating one," state-owned television quoted Hung as saying.
Last week, 94 people died in floods that inundated the capital, Hanoi, and other provinces in the country's northern and central regions.
Vietnam is prone to floods, which kill hundreds each year.

SPORTS PEOPLE: COLLEGES; Message to Black Athletes
Published: January 18, 1995
The Arkansas basketball coach, NOLAN RICHARDSON, said yesterday that black athletes must understand they are being neglected by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He made the remarks after the Black Coaches Association said Monday it has given up on working with the N.C.A.A. and will turn to outside groups for help in attacking what it considers to be inequities in college athletics. The Black Coaches Association said it would urge those groups to try to influence black athletes in their choice of schools.
"If I'm an athlete and I know what's going on and you don't have my best interests at heart, we're going to do something," Richardson said. "I'm going to go somewhere the people have my best interest at heart." (AP)

It's nice to comment 'rework commit 395999 from trunk to apply clean.' It helps to track providence.

AVERY ISLAND (AP) — Visitors to the Tabasco Factory on Avery Island will soon have even more to experience during their tour of the facility.
The McIlhenny Company is constructing a new visitors' center and restaurant to enhance the experience on the island. The new center will include a museum with photos of the family, the brand, and the island throughout the years.
The restaurant will include a buffet filled with Cajun cuisine as well as snack items.
Along with the new additions, the company is also building a greenhouse so visitors can see the growth of peppers, at various stages, that are used in the hot sauce product.
The expansion is expected to be finished by mid-2015.

So, yeah. This post is asking you guys a question about the Legend of Zelda series. I want to know, in the future of the 3DS, what would you rather see as far as a Zelda game?
Majora's Mask 3D
You know what I mean, a 3D remake of the N64 game, with added features like boss battle mode, and updated graphics. Like what they did with OoT 3D.
A New, 2D Zelda
By this I mean a 2D LoZ game similar to the earliest Zelda games we saw. It wouldn't need touch screen controls or anything. It would be just like the earlier zelda games, but not a remake.
A new, 3D Zelda
A new, 3D Zelda game that would....ummmm.....be new.
So? Which of these do you want to see on nintendo's portable? Majora? a 2D game? Your own idea? I would want a new 3D zelda, probably. OoT 3D was amazing and all, but imagine how awesome a new zelda game could be on this thing? Probably not as good as Skyward Sword, but still. Awesome nonetheless. That's all I have to say for now! Please leave a comment!

I would love to be a SAHM and put all of my energy into my kids and home, but we're not lucky enough to afford that. The next best thing is for me to work from home, which is a hard balance, but I don't think I ever want to go back to an office job.
I've always felt like in order to have a happy family and healthy home there needs to be one person in charge of running the house. I don't think it matters whether or not that person is the man or the woman, it's just something that needs to be done. It seems like even before my daughter was born when my husband and I were both working full time we never had time to take care of our home. It was a struggle to find a few hours to grocery shop, cook, clean, do home repairs, and keep things organized. now that my daughter is here I couldn't imagine how far behind we'd be!
I just didn't want to have a full-time job and only have enough time to be a part-time parent!
It's too bad that its not always an option for a lot of families.
I was able to be home with my kids early on and am so grateful. Once they were school aged I worked while they were in school and made sure I was able to be there at pick up.
But I'm lucky. And a single mom. We don't have a big house. We have a tiny apartment and my kids share a room. But I'd rather be available to them and sleep on the couch then not be available and have our own bedrooms.
My kids are happy and silly and kind.
But not everyone can do that. Some don't know how and some have no choice.
It's worth the struggle to me.
My kids are older a bit now and I'm working harder and more and can focus now on my career. And they understand. And are supportive. But I wouldn't change being there only for them early on.

A Jan. 29 letter to the editor of the Addison Independent, by John Burton of Cornwall, unfairly and unjustly criticizes Rev. Barnaby Feder, minister of Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society, Middlebury.
MIDDLEBURY — Defending Division I girls' hockey champion Essex outlasted host Middlebury on Saturday by 4-1, a score that included two empty-net goals for Essex in the final 46 seconds.
The defending D-II champion Tigers, who moved up to D-I this winter, outshot the Hornets, 28-22, including by 24-10 after a first-period that saw the Hornets take a 2-0 lead.
The result tightened up the D-I standings with home playoff ice at stake as the regular season nears its end.
ADDISON COUNTY — Middlebury won its sixth straight game, this time at Mount Abraham's expense, to highlight local high school boys' basketball action late last week. In other action, Otter Valley won on the road and Vergennes split two games.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vergennes split a pair of games to highlight a tough stretch for local high school girls' basketball teams late last week, when Mount Abraham saw a winning streak end and Otter Valley and Middlebury each lost twice.
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — The Middlebury Union High School boys' hockey team won two of three recent games to improve to 10-5-2. The Tigers entered this week still in fourth place in Division II with a pair of tough road games on tap, at U-32 (9-7-1) on Wednesday and at first-place Missisquoi on Saturday.
On this past Wednesday the Tigers blanked host Hartford, 4-0, behind the 16-save goaltending of Sawyer Ryan. Nathan Lalonde, Tyler Crowningshield, Andrew Gleason and Brett Viens scored for the Tigers.

MakeItWork Signs Radio Syndication Deal
Santa Barbara-based Make It Work said today that it has signed a national syndication agreement with Envision Radio Networks, which will make the firm's technology radio show available to radio stations nationwide. According to Make It Work, the firm's Make It Work program--which currently runs on KSFO 560 in San Francisco--will be extended to two hours, and will be available in other markets. Make It Work also runs a show, Tech News powered by Make It Work, in Los Angeles on KNX1070. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Both shows are hosted by Make It Work co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Jeremy Anticouni. The firm's efforts in the radio area were originally a way to attract customers to the firm's home computer repair services; the firm has since extended into the radio content and podcast business, as well.

I had gotten a suggestion from BanningK1979 to do a Riff of one of his pastas, since he apparently likes the Riffs. This means that the Riffs are funny, or he has bad taste. I personally choose to believe the first one. Anyway, at his request, I went ahead and did a Riff on one of his pastas, "The Hate Us And They Want Us To Die", partly because of the description he had for it: "We love our pets, but do they love us? One man makes a fatal wish to find out just how our four-legged friends really feel about us." Upon reading that, I thought, "Yep, this is the one to Riff."
However, upon reading it, I realized that the pasta wasn't terrible. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't bad enough to be in the "Crappypasta" league with "Jeff the Killer" or "Spider-Man: Are You Happy Now?" among others. Also, this pasta is actually pretty funny, or at least, it is to me. Anyway, I wanted to say all that, and a big thank you to BanningK1979 for recommending some of his pastas and having a sense of humor about all of this, since quite a few people would have been pissed to have a pasta Riffed.
Now that I got my shout out out of the way (was my shout out shouted out of the way?), let's get on with the Riff.
Ever wonder what your pets are thinking? "I miss my genitals." Ever wish you could talk to them, or have full on conversations? I did, then realized they probably wouldn't shut up.
I did. That's nice. Ever since I was a kid. I remember watching cartoons with all the cool talking animals, and I wanted to live in a world like that. A world where my animal companions could tell me about their lives, their day, every aspect of their being. Well, we have beings close to talking animals: furries.
I got what I wanted, and now I am going to kill myself, because knowing how they really feel about us, knowing what they really think of the human race, is far more terrible than anyone could ever imagine. I knew cats would one day take over the world!
It all started two weeks ago. I was just wandering around downtown late at night. "I somehow had not gotten mugged yet." I had gotten off of work and didn't want to go right home. So I went out for a stroll. Seeing the life and people on the street always made me feel alive. "Until some mugger decides to stab me."
Along the way I met a man. He looked homeless. He asked me for a few dollars. I opened my wallet, and the smallest bill I had was a $20. "And as it turned out, this homeless man was actually Slender Man. So, I gave him the $20 he wanted." I was hesitant. Now, most of the street kids in my city have an act to go with their request. Some will sing, some will tell you a poem, some will tell your tarot cards. "Others do strip teases. We usually don't give them money." This man, apparently, would grant wishes. That's what he told me anyway. When he's not talking about granting wished, this homeless guy is probably talking about the government being run by lizard people, satellites reading our minds, and that the moon is fake.
I thought, okay, what's the harm. The guy is clearly full of crap, but I was feeling generous, so I handed him the money. He smiled and asked me what I wanted as my wish. I thought it over, even though I knew this was all for fun, I figured I would go along with it. Thinking back to my earliest years, I conjured up the one request that I recalled the most often from my childhood. You, sir, are not very bright. I know you think this guy is full of crap (I feel the same way), but if you're going to have a wish granted, go big or go home. Ask for an infinite amount of wishes or something. Sheesh.
"I want to be able to talk with animals. Not just talk to them, but actually talk with them. Understand their words and have them understand mine."
The homeless man simply smiled, clapped his hands once, and said, "Granted!"
He then walked away. Just like that. He was actually on his way to give the $20 to Slender Man.
I still felt good about myself though. I helped a guy eat for at least a night or two. Or he could, you know, buy drugs with that money or something. I went home. By the time I got to my front door, I had honestly forgotten about my wish.
I had two cats. That night, as I climbed into bed, I was introduced to terror on a new level, one that I will not be able to live with much longer. The terror of the litter box! Dun dun dunnnn!
I got into bed and as usual, my two cats jumped into the bed with me. I closed my eyes and started to drift, when I heard whispering. Not exactly a human whisper, but a sort of high pitched, demonic in a way, and directed towards me.
"He is still alive..."
"We can't kill him, he feeds us..."
"I hate him so much..."
"We both do... but remember, all of this is temporary..."
What's funny is that I actually think cats talk like that. I knew I wasn't insane! Isn't that right, voices in my head? They say yes.
I sat bolt upright. I turned on the lights and started searching the house. Clearly I was imagining this. I lived alone, I knew I turned off the television. Those voices were right next to me... I honestly had no idea where they were coming from. The ghosts in his house are trolling him.
I looked everywhere, no radio or television was turned on. I tried to convince myself that I had started to drift off to sleep and that I imagined it all. I took a couple of sleep aids, turned on the television and slept on the couch.
The next day I went to work. As I was walking through the downtown park area, I heard a gruff, deep and purely evil voice.
"I want to bite off your fucking little face... I want to rip open your throat. I'll lick your ugly, hairless face for now, because soon enough it will be my teeth in your face." I looked in the direction of this horrible litany of threats, and saw a large German Shepard licking its owner's face. As it licked and panted, it continued to hurl fierce and angry threats at its owner. I don't see how this is scary. This is actually funny as hell. I'd just laugh my ass off if that was what I was hearing.
I thought back to last night. I thought back to the wish. I thought about the two whispering voices in my bedroom. Could it be... could it be the animals? Considering the description of this pasta, yeah. From behind me, another whispering voice. "DIE... DIE you piece of shit! Die so I can eat you!" I had no idea cannibals were so pushy.
It was another dog, looking intently into the face of a homeless man. The homeless man had the dog on a rope leash. He was passed out, leaning against a building. His dog was standing just inches away from his face, all teeth.
I pushed through the work day. "I pulled through my break." That night I got home. My cats were both sitting on the couch, looking at me.
Now, a couple of notes on how this all works. Animals still meow and bark, and those meows and barks do not translate to human words. Instead, when they talk, they just open their mouths, and this whisper just....breathes out of them.
My cats were staring at me, their eyes were very cold.
"Cat, I give you food and water and love. You shut the fuck up."
I heard one of them say.
"I hate him..." You know who doesn't hate him? That homeless guy. Actually, if this homeless guy can grant wishes, why not make himself rich or something? Can he only grant other peoples' wishes? How does that work? I'm honestly curious. Replied the other.
"He will taste good..." "I can haz hooman noms?"
At that I locked myself in my room. Now, I know what you're thinking, Why is this a problem, since this is funny as hell? why wouldn't I go out there and talk to them, right? So not what I was thinking. Try and get to the bottom of their apparent dislike. Well, there was really no need for all that. When my wish was granted, I was certainly able to communicate with them. Their thoughts began to radiate off of them like waves of evil energy.
I listened to them as well. Part of me was afraid to let them know that I could hear them. If I did, they might make a move on me even faster, just to reduce the risk. Dude, they're cats. Just take them to an animal shelter or something. (A note to everyone who don't own homicidal housepets: don't send them to the animal shelter. Get with a local foster organization. Animal shelters put down animals; fosters don't.) What I have learned over the last couple of weeks is quite simple. The cats want cheeseburgers.
They all hate us. They see us as the selfish, destructive intruders of their domain. Well, we are. I also know that they have studied us every bit as hard as we have studied them over the years. I'm pretty sure cats don't put pictures on the Internet of humans. Certain animals can even tell when people are going to die. These animals urge their humans to put them in their will. Almost like watching our auras dim as we get closer to death. They have allowed us to build and develop our cities over the centuries, because they also know when our species, the human race, will wipe itself out. That's probably true. When that happens, they will claim our cities, our buildings and our homes as their own. That is a stupid plan. Even if their plan did work, and humanity did wipe itself out (theoretically, it would most likely be with nukes or global warming, which would kill everything on the planet), and even if the planet was left in a suitable condition for an animal takeover, I'm pretty sure they count on buildings and such to be left standing. If that's the case, then that's stupid because human buildings aren't quite suitable for animals to use. Now, they could create their own buildings and society, but if they wiped out humanity, then animals would be back at square one, since most advances in technology are only for humans. Dogs and cats can't use computers, or drive a car (ok, a few dogs can drive a car, but my point still stands). If that's the plan for animal domination, that's stupid.
Every day that we live a little longer, it is only because they have permitted us to, because they know that we aren't going to be around much longer, and in the meantime, we are leaving a nice place for them to nest for the rest of time. I feel like the animals aren't going to let humanity wipe itself out. I think their plan is really to gain more power, then subjugate humanity and make them servants. That way, the animals will live a life of comfort while humans do all the work. Sure, it's not the best plan, but it makes more sense than the plan that they supposedly have according to this story.
I know too much now. You must die. I know that they all hate us. Every animal I have overheard. Every dog on a leash is reciting how it wants to devour its owner. Every house cat contemplates the death of its caretaker. How is that a surprise to you? When they crawl into bed with us at night, it isn't to show us love, it is to contemplate our deaths. "Human, I will cut your throat while you sleep. Never again will I endure the indignity of a bunny suit."
They outnumber us by millions. They can survive disease, even nuclear fallout. Not quite. I'm pretty sure cats and dogs can't survive nuclear fallout. Unless you're talking about cockroaches, in which case, that's true, but you wouldn't know that. You asked to hear the thoughts of animals, and talk a lot about cats and dogs. And as for diseases, that's true, but there's a whole bevy of animal diseases that can kill them. They are ruthless. Especially Grumpy Cat. Mercy is not taught in their upbringings. Eating their own poop is, however.
They hate us all... and they want us to die. Roll credits!
So that was my Riff of "They Hate Us And They Want Us To Die." And, honestly, like I said, it's not that bad. Sure, it's not scary, and at times it's kind of stupid (Seriously, the plan the animals have for world domination is just stupid.), but it's actually a fun read. And while there is a grammar error or two, (The whole "I heard one of them say." part) it's actually very well written. So, yeah. If this qualifies as a pasta I can Riff, then I recommend seeing some of BanningK1979's other pastas. Seriously. Do it or your animals will rise up and kill you.
Anyway, what do you folks think? Was the Riff funny? Was the pasta funny? Should my cats kill me? Leave your thoughts, and any recommendations for a Riff, in the comments below.

|Battle at Kyuden Kitsune
|Location: Kyuden Kitsune
|Date: 1090
|Major Forces: Hare Clan, Fox Clan, Crane Clan
|Generals: Unknown, Kitsune Oshirin, Kakita Toshimoko
|Battles of Rokugan
The Battle at Kyuden Kitsune occurred in 1090 after tensions between the antagonistic Hare and Fox Clans came to a head. A series of border skirmishes aimed at increasing their respective holdings threatened to quickly escalate into full-blown war. Emissaries of the Crane Clan were dispatched to find a peaceful solution, but the assassination of the emissaries of the Fox Clan forced the issue. [1]
Background Edit
The Fox claimed that the rivalry began when a Hare scout fired upon an unarmed party of Fox shugenja, which was denied by the Hare. [2]
Although never discovered by the clans, hostilities were actually the result of a game being played between some kitsune and some bakeneko. They delighted in playing tricks on both sides while disguised as their opponents, but lost interest and moved on once hostilities developed. [3]
The Battle Edit
The Crane Clan had mediated a temporary truce, but when the Fox dignitaries were assassinated, the Fox accused the Hare. The Hare denied any part in the assassination, but the Fox Clan Champion Kitsune Oshirin declared war upon the Hare nonetheless, and the Crane supported them. After winning, the daimyo of the Fox then blamed the Crane diplomats for the whole battle, and challenged their Crane emissary, Kakita Toshimoko, to a duel. Toshimoko easily won. [4]
The Fox dignitaries were not assassinated but killed by a kumo pack, who could smell the scent of their spiritual enemies kitsune on them. [3]
The Night of a Hundred Deaths Edit
Many ronin where employed at the Battle at Kyuden Kitsune, as both the Fox and Hare had few clan samurai to spare. There were rumors after the battle that the misunderstanding between the two clans was staged by one of the ronin and that many ronin had staged their own deaths during the battle just to be hired again by the other side. Whether the rumors were true or not would never be determined, because all of the ronin were slain after the battle, during what became known as the Night of a Hundred Deaths. [5]
Secret of the Fox Edit
Before the rift began Oshirin had been warned the Hare Clan Champion was dealing with maho, and the Fox Daimyo guessed the Hare would attempt to capture the Ancestral Sword of the Fox Clan, which had one of the Black Scrolls in its hilt. This must not be permitted to happen, and if the Crane knew the secret they would claim the blade for themselves. With much work and guile on their part the Fox had eradicated their enemy. [2]
Aftermath Edit
Upon hearing of the battle and its result, the Emperor decreed that the Crane Clan should be the advisors of both the Fox and Hare Clans. The advisors to the Fox court had some troubles, but over the years the relations between the two clans became more amicable. The Hare however were not so pleased, and the Hare Clan Champion would repeatedly appeal the Imperial Command to relieve them of the unwanted Crane advisor. [4]

There is a fascinating fillies' maiden to start the proceedings at Lingfield with debutantes Winter Queen and Peace And War (2.10) of particular interest and it is the latter that gets the vote for Olly Stephens. The filly cost $300,000 as a yearling and is bred to act on an artificial surface.
The yard, at the time of writing, have not had a juvenile winner this term but they saddled the runner up in the Irish 1000 Guineas at the weekend and while Peace And War might never reach the heights of stablemate Lightning Thunder she can make a winning debut.
There is plenty of pace in the 5f handicap with Royal Acquisition bidding to go one better than when runner up in a first time hood over C&D earlier in the month, but I just favour Marmalady (2.40) back at the minimum trip.
The form of her third to Intrinsic at Ascot has been franked by the winner scoring again at Goodwood and she should be spot on.
Secret Success (3.10) was all at sea on the soft ground at Salisbury last time and will appreciate the return to an artificial surface although he has never raced at Lingfield. He is only 2lbs higher than when scoring at Kempton back in April and the form of his third to Lawmans Thunder is top class polytrack form.
He is 1lb lower today and his apprentice Duilio Da Silva takes off a valuable 5lbs.
Elpida (4.40) can break her duck at the second time of asking for David Simcock whose Newmarket yard are in such good form after a slow start to the campaign.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
It's Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark's Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
"Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise."
H. G. Wells
Since it was the Friday Success Stories that truly inspired me to go Primal, I thought I'd share my own. My journey to the Primal lifestyle started about a year after I gave birth to triplets (around January of 2012). At that point I had made multiple trips to the doctors with health complaints. I'm guessing my doctor thought I was a hypochondriac, but my body had started falling apart, and it was affecting my ability to care for my trio. I was reminded by my doctor how pregnancy (and breastfeeding) takes a toll on your body, and even more so with triplets. I just wanted to cry at the prospect that this was the new normal. I felt so blessed to have these three healthy babies, but hated feeling like I couldn't be the mom I had imagined.
Growing up I had periods of sickness; I remember having to repeat 4th grade because I had too many sick days. Even as I child I recognized that certain foods made my stomach hurt. I remember loving the taste of fast food, but hating the way it made me feel afterwards. Around 6th grade I started participating in sports, started feeling a little better, and continued to feel relatively healthy through college. After college, I noticed some of the same feelings of sickness after eating; grumbling stomach and frequent trips to the bathroom. I knew it was probably something in my diet, but wasn't willing to make the commitment to any type of elimination diet to figure out what was causing the issues. It wasn't until after giving birth that I felt like I'd hit rock bottom, and wanted to get to the root of the problem.
One of the things I hated most is that people didn't seem to take me seriously because I didn't really look sick. On the inside I felt like I was dying. Some of the things I had been experiencing were: night sweats, racing heart, trouble sleeping, anxiety, rashes around my mouth and face, hip and chest pains, tingling feeling in my extremities, recurring symptoms of endometriosis (I had had laparoscopic surgery to remove endo and cysts in 2009), and intestinal issues that seemed to be getting worse. When I told my doctor about my symptoms, he decided to do some blood tests. The results showed that I was severely vitamin D deficient and slightly anemic, but other than that everything seemed "normal".
I was given high dose vitamin D supplements to take for a month, and told to come back and repeat the blood test. He also did a mammogram and tested for peri menopause, and both were normal. I was told to take NSAIDs for the pain, and that I should cut back on caffeine. I didn't notice much of a difference with the supplements, but followed the doctor's advice. I decided to start doing my own research. I noticed some of my symptoms were similar to these with gluten intolerance. I gave my sister Laura a call because I knew she had gone gluten free along with her fiancé who is gluten intolerant. She suggested I try going gluten free (GF) for a few weeks and see if it helped with my symptoms. The idea of giving up bread, pasta, and beer was almost more than I could fathom. Sourdough bread slathered with butter had long been my go-to comfort food, especially when I was sick (which was a lot). Where would I find my comfort now?
I must have had the low carb flu because the first week gluten free was tough (headaches, constant hunger, extreme irritability). Then something amazing happened about a week in, I noticed some of my symptoms clearing up. I started sleeping better at night, and experiencing a little more energy. But it didn't take long to find gluten-free replacement foods (read: high carb & processed); I was happy to have my bread (GF) and pasta (rice) back again. I found some gluten free websites to get ideas about how to go gluten free. It was great to find a place to commiserate with others who were stuck with GF beer, and finding replacement flours for their favorite cookie recipes. Around this time I noticed I was gaining a little weight (and feeling bloated), and feeling a little depressed at the prospect of never having gluten again (the GF beer *is* lacking in the taste department).
It was right around the time of my 20th high school reunion (June 2012) that I mentioned to my sister Clare that I had gone gluten free. She recommended that I check out Mark's Daily Apple, and told me specifically about the success stories. What struck me most was how upbeat the success stories were; these people didn't seem like they were losing out on anything by changing their lifestyles. So many of the GF (and celiac) websites I had visited focused on what you couldn't have, so this was a breath of fresh air.
My sister loaned me her copy of The Primal Blueprint (I still need to give it back), and I started reading it at the babies' nap time. I ended up getting the Kindle edition as well, so it traveled easily in my already cramped diaper bag. The principles of PB made a lot of sense to me. I had long been a chronic cardio junkie, but training for marathons usually left me sick and injured. As a Social Science major, the evolutionary viewpoint using the Grok analogy really struck a chord. I had been a victim of the Standard American Diet for a long time, and I think deep down I knew that my diet played a role in my symptoms.
I'm going into my 40th year feeling healthier than ever! I have the energy to keep up with my 2 1/2 year old toddlers. And who knew playing outdoors could be so fun!? I definitely underestimated the power of play. Although I do still run for fun, I don't push it as hard as I used to; my kids love it when I run "super-fast" (sprint). I don't have to go far to find heavy things to lift, considering my guys still love to be carried. I'm trying to teach them to live Primal by setting a good example. We've started growing some of our own vegetables, and they love to help harvest.
Best of all, ALL of my health issues have improved, and then some. I had been a skeptic that diet changes would cure my deteriorating health. Those rashes around my mouth that were irritating and made me self-conscious have cleared up. No more racing heart, night sweats, or bone pain! I am no longer vitamin D deficient. I am still amazed by how many of my symptoms improved. There were so many "little" health issues that I just attributed to getting older or bad genes that improved as well. I no longer have issues with: sinus headaches, insomnia, teeth grinding, cracking joints (only after a tough workout), dry eyes, balance, mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, bloating, swollen feet, and I no longer have to take any "sick days" during my monthly cycle due to pain and cramping.
And then there's all the things I gained: energy (oh the energy!!), clearer eyes, muscle definition, healthier hair and nails, softer skin, more vivid dreams, the best sleep I've had in years. Most importantly, I'm able to be the kind of mom I'd hoped to be to my energetic trio. My husband recently asked, "but don't you miss pizza?"; I didn't respond, instead I showed him the long list of symptoms that had improved since going Primal. I'd much rather have my health than an Ultimate Slice.
I'm definitely a work-in-progress, but it feels great to be going in the right direction. I occasionally eat a little more dark chocolate than I probably should, and I'm still warming up to sweet potatoes in lieu of white potatoes. I also need to work on getting more sleep, but I can say when I sleep now it's a much sounder sleep than before. I actually even nap from time to time, whereas in the past it was near impossible to ever just relax enough to nap.
I'm guessing I'm not the only one who loves the before and after photos. I don't have any that are too dramatic (I did throw in a "scary" pregnancy photo for fun though), but I used to have a constant bloated look, and never had much muscle definition (skinny fat). I recently took one of my kids into the pediatrician (it had been about 6 months), and he asked how much weight I had lost. I honestly couldn't tell him because I didn't keep track, but it has been a nice side effect. The comments have gone from, "you look good for having triplets" to just "you look good!"; both are nice, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I prefer the latter.
I'm so grateful to have found this site and The Primal Blueprint. Thank you, Mark, and to all who have helped me along the way. And to all the naysayers, I dare you to try it for 21 days. What have you got to lose!
Grok on!!

Congratulations!! I love your story, keep up the great work! and what a beautiful family!
Thank you Charlotte!
Thanks Tony! That's interesting; I've never heard of Epsom salt treatments or of that type of deficiency. In talking with my doctor all that was mentioned was Vitamin D deficiency and Anemia. I should probably look to see all that was tested at that time because I'm not sure. My sister (in the medical field) told me that Vit. D deficiencies often occur with Vit. K defifiencies, so I need to find that out as well.
Hi, I realize your comment is from a while ago but I am curious as to where you soak or apply the Epsom salts… soak the feet? On your abdomen? Hope you see this comment, thanks in advance for any help.
I have to agree! Good job. You're definitely an inspiration to women out there that might feel stuck in the rut!
Thanks Matt!
As a mom of an almost-5 year old, I am so stunned to see your awesome bikini shot… I can't believe that stomach is the same one in the "scary" pic! Gives me hope!
Can you share any of your childrens' favorite snacks? I struggle with getting my son to find primal-friendly snacks "fun" enough and am always looking for ideas!
Thanks for sharing your encouraging story, it definitely speaks to me and spurs me forward! Oh- and beautiful family! 🙂
I am not Barbara but here are ours: Olives, Cheese, Berries of some sort, Nuts, a nut butter, dark chocolate, really anything I would eat. I think part of making it fun for my 4yo daughter is having the food in fun little containers (she does not really snack unless we are away from home and spending the day at the zoo or beach or something).
Mine love nut butters too, and also Sunbutter. I agree about the containers. Lately I've been using the ziploc ones that look like bento boxes, and the love it. Not sure what it is, but the fun presentation seems to make a difference.
Thanks Tiffany! They're definitely getting more difficult to push. As long as they're happy, and still fit, I'll keep jogging, albeit a bit slower 😉
Thanks to the cook book & website recommendations too! I'm always looking of new ideas.
Thanks Beck! My kids love avocados, bananas, and a lot of other fruits and vegetables. Not sure how old your kids are, but mine love when I give a variety (I've used an ice cube to serve, so they have a lot of choices) for snacks. I'd say they are probably 70/30 primal, still eating cheese (and other dairy) and the occasional crackers (usually gluten free) and treats.
PS – I have an public Instagram account (Primaldish), if interested, where I've started posted recipe ideas. Many of them are kid friendly.
Your story is so similar to mine (minus the triplets!). It was only when I got rid of ALL grains, and not just the gluten, that my symptoms went away. Congratulations to you. Your children are beautiful and you look so happy!
It's an amazing thing, isn't it? Thanks Lauryn!
Great story! Congratulations!
Regular sweet potatoes are too sweet for me (although I do eat some). I buy white Oriental ones that taste pretty much like white potatoes to me. (I do eat some white potatoes too, though. Maybe once a week.)
I'll have to look for those ones. Thanks Harry!
Found some Japanese ones today at the market, and they even look a bit like regular potatoes. Can't wait to try them!
Awesome. Looking great. Well done.
Thank you!
Nice work! I commend you for even having the determination to do the work while taking care of not one not two, but 3 infants. OMG – I can't even imagine. You are supermom. By the way – nice tummy after have such a major expansion 😉
Thanks Jennifer!
Congratulations. I loved your story. You're an inspiration to young moms. 'Baby brain' does not have to be the status quo.
Thanks Judy! I definitely had much worse "baby brain" before!
Great story and fabulous pics of you and the babies! They are adorable and I agree that the bikini pic is just amazing! You rock!!
Thank you Rhonda!
Despite reading all these stories every week, I never cease to be amazed at the awfulness gluten (or a SAD diet) causes for people's health.
Way to rock that bikini, Mama of Three. 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration. Signed, a mama of four
Thanks Anne! Never in a million years would I have thought gluten was at the root of my issues, I'm so thankful to have figured it out.
Guessing you're a busy woman with 4! 🙂
Wow. *slowclap* Just wow!!!
Thank you!!
Again, I love Fridays.
Me too!
way to go. the jack o lantern was awesome too.
Thank you John!
"Lift heavy things," you can't not do it with little kids around. "Uppy." I remember it so well and yours is "uppy, uppy, uppy!" Wonderful post.
Yes! I get "Up!" and "Uppy!" a lot! Thank you!
Wonderful post! I cannot imagine having triplets, you are a strong woman!
Thanks Luis!
Fabulous – you looked great (but scary) pregnant and you now look like you've just borrowed someone else's children for the photo!! Just amazing! That's how I want to look!
Aww, thanks!
Barbara, you are totally amazing, SuperMom for sure!! What beautiful children 🙂 How lucky they are to have you start them out with the right kind of food. And a bikini after triplets??? –I am in awe. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you Sandy!
Great story. Now to get the hubby off the CW pizza (paleo pizza is awesome)…
Barb, for sweet potatos/yams:cut them into fries and drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper. Bake until starting to carmelize and then make a sour cream or yoghurt dip with spices. It rocks! Grok on.
Yeah, he loves his pan pizza, but he did agree to do a 21 day trial, so we're making progress 🙂 Funny how your taste buds change, paleo pizza sounds so much better now.
I do love sweet potato fries! I'll have to try your recipe – sounds great! Thank you!
great story of better health. and you look fabulous! you look amazing in a bikini at age 40, after TRIPLETS! glad you feel SO much better. wow, you figured out how to feed 3 babies at once.
Thank you!! Yeah, it's so much easier now that they're feeding themselves! 🙂
Love the story. Keep it up and Grok On!!!
Thanks James!
That scary belly photo makes me glad I'm a man, I can't imagine carrying that! But you got a complete family in one term, pretty economical. Seriously, you and the kids are awesome, congrats!
Yep! We got the 3 for 1 deal 😉 Thank you!!
Wow!! Great Story!! I can relate to the "Warming up to Sweet Potatoes" comment… I have a gag reflex towards them along with Butternut & Acorn Squash (Grok weeps) that I am having a HARD time getting past. Any ideas on how to make them palatable??
Thanks! I like sweet potatoes best in the French fry form because it helps with the texture for me. I usually just slice up the sweet potato and cook them on a skillet in coconut oil and add a little salt, but I'm going to try Nocona's recipe above. I love butternut chopped up in cubes mixed with sausage (I like Mulay's breakfast), and a little crushed sage on top (bake for about an hour at 375).
Bob, I was like you until I decided to do what all men do with vegetables they don't care for – char them on the grill! Cut them up, slather with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, garlic and herb spices. Pair them with a NY Strip or a Ribeye and you will learn to love them, done right they are some of my favorite and heartiest vegetables. These aren't your sissy steamed veggies.
A grill wok is really great for grilling cut up vegetables:
A favorite way we eat sweet potatoes is dicing one sweet potato and one onion and "frying" both in coconut oil. It's much like home fries. Cook until both sweet potatoes and onions are carmelized. Add a tbsp butter and enjoy.
Yes, and I think the key whether you do it in the skillet or baked as fries, the key word is CARMELIZED. They get chewy tasty, with a completely different taste. Not as mushy.
Yum! Those sound delicious! I'm definitely trying it that way. Thanks!
Maybe check out white sweet potatoes? I dislike orange sweet potatoes for their pumpkin flavor but the white ones taste fine to me.
I just got some white Japanese sweet potatoes yesterday. Can't wait to try them!
"My husband recently asked, "but don't you miss pizza?"; I didn't respond, instead I showed him the long list of symptoms that had improved since going Primal. I'd much rather have my health than an Ultimate Slice."
Exactly. I have been paleo/primal for nearly fours years. My health and body composition has improved drastically as a result of this lifestyle. Who cares about pizza.
"but don't you miss pizza?"
Mmmm, meatza!
Yep! It's one of the things I missed most in the beginning (along with sourdough), but now I much rather have a meaty salad… or bacon. 🙂
Exactly. Pizza is nothing. Health is everything. Grok on!
It has to feel great to look and feel so wonderful after having triplets! Nice to hear you found an answer to some of your previous health problems/symptoms. Enjoy those precious children of yours! They grow SO fast!! (Especially on a primal diet) 😉
Thank you! And thanks for the reminder, these first couple years have already flown by!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the inspiration! I'm a mother of 2 little ones and definitely need to clean up my diet so I can have the energy you have now.
Aww, thank you! It really has helped so much with the energy – you'll see 🙂
Thank you for your Friday Success Story! You look fantastic and healthy now.
Thanks 2Rae!
What a great story, Barb. You look fantastic and I'm glad you found Primal and a fix for all the health issues. So many people just continue to suffer with all those symptoms. I love Fridays!
Sometimes I wonder how much longer I would have suffered if I didn't find MDA; my drs didn't seem to have the answers. So thankful! And thank you!!
Awesome job, you look great!
Have you tried any regular beer? I find a little doesn't derail me, especially after a good workout.
Thank you! I did have a regular beer after a 10K on SuperBowl Sunday, and didn't seem to have a problem. Then I tried a couple again while we were camping a few months back, and it worked me. Maybe I can handle in small quantities; I'll probably do another experiment for my 40th. If not, I'm always ok with a little wine instead. 🙂
I think if your abdominal wall muscles have separated then surgery is the only answer. No amount of exercise will put them back together.
I too am impressed with Barb's post triplets bikini photo. Also impressed with the photo of her feeding three babies at once. Awesome!
Thanks Kati! I've also heard that surgery is needed if your muscle has separated. I didn't have any separation, but I do have some loose skin on my lower abs; it's less noticeable when I do regular abdominal and core strengthening workouts (I need to get back on the wagon). Congratulations on carrying your boys to term! I carried mine to 36 weeks, but they were "only" about 15 lbs combined.
Thank you, Barb! I guess I'll be checking out surgeons next summer. Congrats on carrying your sweet ones to 36 weeks! That is amazing for triplets! You look great and your story really struck a chord with me. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Kati, you won't necessarily need surgery. I had twins, gained nearly half again my weight ( I was pretty skinny at the time) & had quite a bit of separation. It took several years of ab exercises to knit them back together, but eventually it worked! Planks, reverse curls & double leg lifts seemed to help the most. Listen to your body & go gently at first, but don't give up hope! If you have access to a Pilates class it would probably help. (I didn't though.)
Wonderful story and very happy for you. Triplets … my mind won't accept it LOL. Yeah, just think how much healthier everyone would be if they were on a GF diet … GRAIN free.
Thank you George! I agree – grain free is best!
Barbara, first of all, you look GREAT!! Secondly, there IS a really good gluten free beer out there – it's called Omission. They've got a lager and an IPA. I would drink it even if I wasn't gluten free. Here is the link to their website where you can find out where to buy it near you:
Thanks! I'll check out the link, and hopefully they have it locally.
Thank you for the input, Sandra. 🙂
I forgot about the feeding picture. It is pretty great!
Not primal – but try the beers at Brewery Rickoli in Wheat Ridge if you're ever in town. They are brewed with actual beer ingredients, but use clarity firm to remove the gluten by breaking up the peptides down to 5ppm. It tastes like real beer because it is real beer.
It's been awesome to have beer that I can drink without it making me feel like hell (unless I drink too much…)
That sounds great! Wish more brewers would do that; it'd be nice to have a real beer from time to time.
Your scary belly is hilarious! Thanks for posting that pic. And, of course it is great you have found a good path to health.
Thanks Sharon! My husband had fun decorating my belly for Halloween (they're Nov. babies).
Thanks Jeanne! I'll have to look for that recipe; I haven't tried a cauliflower crust. I've been amazed at the versatility of vegetables when replacing them for processed (and gluten) foods. I'm finding I like the replacements even better.
So glad you've had improvements as well! I'm betting you will continue to feel better over time. It's been a little over a year for me, and I still continue to notice improvements (most recently I've noticed the spider veins on my legs are less noticeable).
Thanks for the link! That looks reeealy good!
Awesome Barb. Have to agree with so many of the previous comments, and particularly with Grokesque – you do look like you borrowed someone elses children on the beach!
Thanks for sharing your story, and your wonderful family photos.
PS: I know it is winter here in the southern hemisphere, but sweet potato is awesome in the slow cooker as a thickener. I add small cubes of sweet potato to the slow cook mix, and after 6 hours or so it just breaks down and thickens whatever juices you have in there! mmmmmm!
Thank you HillyM!
I love using the crockpot (especially in winter); thanks for the tip! Sweet potatoes may just become a favorite after all. 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing this encouraging story. I have yet to give up beer even though I've gladly given up everything else wheat. And today I've noticed a definite bloat going on. Meaning a skinny girl with a basketball belly. I think this is what I needed to read.
Also, is your husband GF? Didn't sound like it from the pizza comment.
How do you deal with a spouse who refuses to go GF because he misses it too much?
My husband refuses to take care of his body in multiple ways…..
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Wonderful story and beautiful family! Congratulations! All the best to you…Grok on!
Thank you Dianne!
Thanks for sharing your story! It's amazing what dietary changes can bring, and you're yet another inspiration. If you feel as great as you look, you'll be set for life 🙂
Aww, thank you Kathleen!
I really love the pictures of the kids!
Never a boring day, I assume. Please keep on doing what you are doing, it works!
Thank you Petra! Not enough time in the day to be bored. 😉
Congratulations, Barbara! I am wondering about your vitamin D deficiency. We're the supplements a quick cure? Are your levels correct now with more sunshine? Thanks and grok on!
Thanks! Yes, the idea was to boost my Vit D levels. I really believe that I was having some absorption issues due to my diet and leaky gut. I live in California so I get plenty of sunshine year round which makes me think I just wasn't absorbing some nutrients.
My levels have gone back up, but I didn't have them tested until a few months after taking the high dose supplements. I probably should get my levels tested again to make sure I'm still in the normal range.
Your kids are beyond adorable! What a lovely family 🙂 I have been on the fence for a long time but all these success stories and yours, because I have some of the same symptoms and thought the same way about them (It's the age – I am 40) resonated.more. Thanks for sharing! You look great!
Thank you! It doesn't feel right to say "I'm glad it resonated with you" because that means you haven't been feeling well. But I do hope you find your path to health, it really is worth the effort. Now that my tastes have changed, I can't imagine going back to the SAD. Good luck to you! Hope to read our success story in the future. 🙂
Incredible! Really!
Thanks Melissa!
Amazing work and congrats on your lovely family! Can you share a bit about your workouts? Thanks 🙂
Thank you! I've been pretty varied in my workouts, but some of my favorites are: yoga that is usually in the form of DVDs at nap time (Rodney Yi and Bryan Kest are my favorites); running a few miles a couple times a week; walking and hiking; MDA WOW (found on this site) or other WODs; and sets of planks, lunges, sit-ups, and push-ups before bedtime.
Thanks Deana! So glad to hear your health has improved since going primal. That is amazing how your levels improved so drastically! Congratulations! Grok on!
Great story! thanks for sharing.
Thanks Clint!
Yes! So many great recipes and ideas – thank you! I recently got one of those spiral slicers, and have been having fun making squashes into pasta (or fausta).
How cool that your wife has used her skills in belly painting! Sounds like she's the person to go to when ready to induce! 😉
Your toned flat beach stomach after having given birth to triplets is JUST AMAZING!!! You look fabulous and healthy. Inspiring to Moms that give birth to single children and have every excuse not to get back into shape.
Aww, thank you! I hope others can find something useful in my story!
Amazing! But not a surprise 🙂 What a beautiful story 🙂 And a Beautiful Mama and family 🙂
Thank you Alexandra!
I love fridays!!!!
I missed what sparked all the sweet potato discussion (I love the stew thickener idea!), but here's my variation:
I use the white "Jersey" sweet potatoes. I peel & boil or roast them with turnips & sometimes parnips also, maybe even some cauliflower?. Mash with gobs o' butter. Makes a nice mashed potato substitute for a side dish or as a casserole topping (cottage or shepherd's pie)
Go Barb! you're awesome!
Those sound great! Thanks Peggy!!

Sign up for our weekly email * Over half (51 per cent) of companies with turnover above £1m feel more optimistic about economic prospects, according to a survey of 304 UK firms conducted between 5 and 20 March by BDRC Continental for Lloyds Bank Wholesale Banking & Markets. By contrast, only 20 per cent were pessimistic. This is the first time since June last year that more than half the respondents were positive about the UK outlook. Confidence regarding UK economic prospects surged 30 points to a nine-month high in March. This was bolstered by the less immediate threat of a Greek default. However, there was a marginal fall in businesses' confidence in their own prospects, with the net balance dropping 1 point to 40 per cent. The survey suggests that economic activity is picking up and that the chances of the economy returning to positive growth in the second half of 2012 have improved. With sentiment returning to health, output could expand in the first quarter of 2012. The net balance for employment prospects climbed to 28 per cent from 18 per cent a month ago, the third consecutive monthly increase. Profit margins also rose, with the net balance improving to -11 per cent from -26 per cent. Similarly, the net balance for average domestic prices fell for the second month in a row to 12 per cent from 15 per cent. The north of England and the Midlands registered strong rises in this composite index, driven by rises in all four components, and now outperform the south, which saw a slight decline in March on the back of lower trading and employment prospects. Trevor Williams, chief economist at Lloyds Bank Wholesale Banking & Markets, said: "This month's acceleration in confidence about UK economic prospects supports our view that concern about the eurozone debt crisis was a major contributor to the sharp decline in sentiment during the latter months of 2011. Indeed, the rebound in confidence mirrors the fallback in market concerns over the potential fallout from a Greek default since December last year. This month's results also provide strong support to our contention that GDP will expand in 2012H1." Subscribe from just £1 per issue More
