angry

It took me forever to find this post again. I may have been called a Type A in the past once or twice. I was walking at my normal pace, that of an attorney always late to court, but that calmed down quickly when I noticed I always spontaneously busted into never ending sweats. I have had an opportunity to evaluate now and I do think that feeling super tired seems to coincide with days I dont go to work. I think I have probably been tired and I just fail to notice when I have something else to do. Thanks for looking at the blog, it helps me deal with this whole process.

Aww they were an a*****e who even ask people that question anymore? I have intentionally not mentioned pregnancies that have appeared to be full term on the off chance the person might have packed on some lbs. 44 lbs is great I cant wait to lose that much and I think I might have a freaking parade when I weigh 223 lbs. Hope you feel better.

This will not be the popular opinion, but its mine and I'm stating it anyway. First, I didn't know Rox. My sincere condolences go out to all of those that knew and loved her. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Just like all of you I don't know the true facts of the case. Like you I wasn't there. All of us can only form opinions based on the stories we read and which ones we choose to believe. It seems that some of you were told a story by someone you trust to have the facts. If the story on this as its detailed above is true this scenario is not on the list of risks we consider and decide to take on prior to opting for surgery. To say that it is is really absurd and I think disrespecful to the victim and her family. I say victim because if she stated she was ill and returned for help and was blown off for a few days because a trip ( or anything else) was more important that is what she was made to be. She took the risk that she might have a leak. We all took that risk. She did not knowingly take the risk that the surgeon would disregard her health and safety once the surgery was completed. She rightly assumed she would be cared for to the best of his ability. To take a trip and come back a few days later before acting cost Rox her life. Thats not OK and thats not what she signed on for. She had the right to expect 100% care and attention from start to finish. She was a member of this forum family and deserves so much more from us than to have her memory shrouded with whispers and blame regarding hiding prior conditions to get what she wanted. That is just so wrong!
Another thought. I get that many of you used this Dr and are very fond of him. You can't believe he would be capable of behaving incompetently. With you he was nothing short of amazing. Thats wonderful, thats how we should all feel about our surgeons. The problem is one I learned many years ago. People only know the YOU that you present to them.
For example. I was married for 17 years to an extremely abusive man. He was abusive in every sense of the word. Out of fear and embarrassment I told no one for 17 years. In the meantime he presented himself to the rest of the world as the best guy in the world. The "give you the shirt off his back" type guy. Always the first to lend a hand and the life of the party. That was the truth to every single person that knew him, except for me. When I finally left and filed for divorce they were all blown away, none more than my family members. They all dearly loved him and couldn't believe he was who I now told them he was. I guess I'm saying that you can only judge your interaction with another person. Because someone else has a different one does not mean theirs isn't true also. It just means they had a different experience and were possibly presented with a different side of the surgeon than you were. Rox and her story should be treated the same way you would want your truth treated. She deserves that.

Aww girl I am proud of you. I dont know your story but you ate one fry and I usually dump the bag out looking to see if there are more. You removed part of the croissant which was supposed to be your victory meal, and poured out your shake. Was today your best day? Sounds like a no, was it your worst? Im willing to guess that answer is the same. Have a Protein Shake for dinner and do some exercise. You didnt ruin anything, its one portion of one day of your life, it can be fixed. Just think at some point you ate like this, didnt feel bad about it and did it again.

I dont have any idea of whether or not this happened, but I would like to offer some unsolicited advice. If you are getting your surgery anyway, dont bother looking for any additional information, it will only worry you. I read the complications boards on here and almost gave myself a panic attack leading up to the surgery, and for what? I was going to do what I was going to do. I understand making an informed decision and knowing all the facts but you said that you have already made your decision so at this point Im not sure more information will be a good thing.

Okay I will start with a disclaimer, dont listen to me I am still a fat ass I have only been sleeved for 4 days and I dont really know anything. Having said that I got into this debate the other day on another post. I seriously doubt that eating 1/4 c of ziti will make you fat. I seem to be in the minority, but I dont think that eating food even devil food like Pasta is the problem, I think that most overweight people have a problem with Portion Control and activity level. Have you ever in your unsleeved life eaten 1/4 c of ziti? If not (I know I havent) I think that was more than likely the problem. I think its really important not to super deprive yourself of everything you enjoy eating because thats when people go all out and eat everything they can get their hands on. If you think its really bad, do some extra exercise.

I was sleeved on 8/16. I was super nervous but it will be over before you know it. My husband and I actually joked that it was pretty anticlimactic after all this build up. the dr gave me something to relax, and then next thing i know i woke up in my room. i was a little nauseous but they gave me meds for that asap and then i was nodding in an out like a heroin addict. it really was a lot less bad than i expected, especially after reading the complications board non-stop.

I have noticed there seem to be two very different kind of sleevers on the boards, those that only eat really healthy things, and those that eat whatever they want in moderation. I am wondering if one is more successful than the other. I am assuming that one day I will want to eat and feel hunger again, and my plan at that point was not to deprive myself of all food that I enjoy but not to eat all the food in the world. I dont think that Im fat because I eat pizza, I think im fat because I eat pizzas, not a piece but multiple pieces, sometimes an entire pie in one sitting. I feel like if I manage to turn that into a piece I will have to lose weight or something is really wrong with my body. Of course I am 3 days out and the idea of drinking all my Protein Shakes is a daunting one to me, but I hope one day I can eat a piece of pizza again and not be a fat ass because of it.

So this feels like a stupid question to me because everybody says you will know when your full but I feel like Im full when I start eating so I dont get it. I ate maybe 1/4 a can of cream of celery Soup tonight. I misread my directions so I did not add any liquid and I stopped eating it when I just didnt really want to eat anymore. I didnt want to eat it from the beginning though so Im not sure if that was the right time to stop. After every spoon I had to burp, but I never felt pain or discomfort, I didnt sneeze, hiccup, and my nose didnt run. I dont want to eat until I am uncomfortable but I guess since speaking to the nutritionist I want to make sure Im getting enough in.

Im so sorry this is your experience I have a family member that is very close to me that sounds similar to your grandma. I have not completely cut that person off because I dont want to feel bad about myself when they die, however I do not have any type of genuine relationship with them at all. I call and or text for holidays/birthdays and have polite conversations rarely but for the most part I do not tell them any personal information about my life and I do not deal with her often. What I have learned over the years is that my problem with her really still stems from a problem that I have with standing up to her and shutting her crap down. I know this is your grandma, but you can still tell her in a polite and respectful way that the things she is saying are hurtful and that you dont want to hear her opinion on the matter. I have found that establishing and enforcing boundaries with my individual are the only way I could continue the relationship without having it come at to significant an emotional cost to me.

I think straws are stuck up and conformist. They either come in that formal sleeve that covers them from head to toe or they come in a box... everyone looking alike.

i want to run for office and feel proud of my brochures, banners, and lawn signs as opposed to being ashamed.

Its still your business and if you dont want to tell people, dont, I have no intention to. Although I have no problem telling people its not something I want to discuss, its not even a discussion I want to begin and I dont want to hear their thoughts or opinions. While I was going through the process I did medifast, and I realized that the results are not very different. The mf diet is about 1000 calories a day and again is very similar to the sleeve. If you are looking for something to tell people you can tell them that you significantly modified your diet and tell them about the medifast program. There is a lot of information about it, and it definitely does work if you stick with it. I dont think you should tell people unless you want to because once you do it is information you cant get back and you have no control over who else it told about it.
