What? Not fat enough????OMG!

I am so stressed. I saw my surgeon and he said, with a BMI of 39.5 he would consider that 40 and not to sweat it. So I didn't.

On Friday, i got a call from his nurse, who politely and in a round about kind of way, suggested that I GAIN SOME MORE WEIGHT to get my BMI up past 40 to qualify for my insurance! I said I would do it, but I am so depressed--the last thing I want to be is BIGGER!

And it's starting to get hot here--ugh! Console me, please.

Now I'm craving pie. Thanks a lot, you two!! :D

All I have in the house is soy milk, SF/FF chocolate pudding, and some whip cream in a high pressure can.

Sounds like a party to me!!! :(

Once again..I'm here rolling with laughter. You girls are so damn funny! OUCH!! with the "i'd shove a roll of quarters up my butt"

and how sucky is that , that you finally have to eat to gain weight to lose weight to only find out you lost weight! OMG...how lucky is that? I want some of that pie LOL

So help me, if I have a cherry and cream cheese craving after my surgery when I'm on a post-op diet of clear liquids...! And naturally I'll have to add Graham Crackers to the craving... you better hope I don't! Because girl, you're post-op diet days are nearing fast, and I'll be right here waiting!

You have to eat 3500 calories to make a pound. That's in addition to what it takes to maintain your current weight.

A cherry cream cheese pie has exactly 3499 calories, so you won't gain a pound. Neener-neener-neener. You better shove those quarters up your butt! Now shut your pie hole and eat your pie!

You know what's funny (funny weird not funny haha) about this? Is that my band doesn't really even feel like pie now. I think I'll pass afterall. Me, passing on pie? Touche'

No Pie? I can't WAIT for those days--

Quaters and pie and heavy clothes and quarters up my butt. Can't wait to explain all this to my husband!

Good night ladies, and thanks for your great sense of humor and support!

xoxox

Good night, Silly Lilly. I wish my husband would act concerned over stuff like that. If I mentioned quarters in my butt he'd probably get a boner. GEEZE, DeLarla, have some class. Knock it off!

Love, Lisa

Oh Crap, now that you say that, my husband will be all a mess, too! Some things are better left unsaid, I guess.

I am just sitting her smiling--I feel like I have new friends!

:D

Yep, it's pretty neat around here. I'm new but I feel like I already have family in every state. Smooches to all your pooches, too! Going nighty-night to make tonight go away. When I sleep, my tube pops back in for the night. Now my whole stomach is red, itchy and bumpy from all the surgical tape. Guess I'm allergic to that now & shoulda got latex free.

Well, this is really ridiculous! Ate like crazy, and after two weeks, my BMI is 41.9!

I can't believe I am happy about that!

Here's to great pie!

Congratulations on being at a higher death risk than ever! Let's raise our glasses to the loving, caring insurance companies. Cheers!
