WOW! Woke up this morning and ishi had scheduled me



Recommended Posts

My husband and I had decided to put of the band until October.... I thought that I sent ishi (patient facilitator for Dr Kuri) an email with that information. Then she called and left a message on my answering machine saying that the date I wanted was open (the 6th of June!) she sent me all the information and and forms etc. and I'm thinking wait a min. didn't you read my email? so I checked my sent box only to discover that I hadn't sent anything about October. But, I remember writing it! anyway, I told my husband when he got up and lo, he arranged for the money and I GUESS I'LL BE GOING IN 2 WEEKS. That's fast and sorta taking my breath away. I have to do the pre op diet because my dr. requires everyone with a BMI of 45 or above to do it and i'd rather be safe than sorry. I have been amazed at how supportive my husbands had been even though it means he has to work 84hr. weeks. Either he really loves me, or he is really tired of looking at me in this condition......... I think I'll go with the love. tomorrows Sunday dinner will be the last normal meal for a very long time. When I finish here I'm going up to have a Pepsi. How hard has it been to give up pop???? that will be the hardest for me I'm afraid.

My Son sent me a great quote (I don't know who said it but it's good) :confused:

"IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT MATTERS, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART!"

Well, I guess this is "it":nervous Rett

Good luck Rett :confused:

I gave up pop and I'm not even getting banded. I just did it because I realized that I consume about 600cal a day from pop alone.

I've lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks just from letting go of my coke addiction. You can do it!!!

And yes, he LOVES YOU!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
