Trust me in this if he violates HIPPA hef can perssonally be fined. Lying was wrkng but he should have dropped it. I woukd send him an email clarifying to him that all wasnt entirely true but you have rights under HIPPA and you are using your right to to speak about the complete issue and expect him to keep it confidential too. Good luck with dealing with him.

Today was great. Nothing was even said about it between he and I and we were together alone working on budgets and the opportunity was there for him to ask more questions and he never said anything. I really feel he is DONE discussing it and totally got the point. Now I just need to take my LOA up with HR and decide how to deal with everyone else. Ugh.... I don't want to start more lies and dig myself into a deeper hole so I'm choosing to not saying anything at all. There is only one girl I worry about because she will have to cover my job while I'm out.

Everybody in My office knows about my upcoming surgery Everybody is supportive of me doing it. It feels great to have 20 people cheering you on and celebrating your success with you. But I do understand everybody's workplace is different I guess I'm just blessed to have such great coworkers. Having my surgery Dec. 19

We have had issues in our office of people gossiping about stupid things and getting mad over ignorant things. For instance for Christmas some of us wanted to donate money to a charity for Christmas instead of giving gifts to one another and as a group we made that decision but About three other girls got upset and have been causing problems. There is just already too much drama up there and I want to stay out of any drama

And that's not the only drama they cause. That is just one example. It happens constantly and they are always trying to keep things stirred up.

Jessica I understand about that stuff we have some catty stuff goin on here too! I think the most important thing is How you are dealing with the upcoming surgery. Your worries, your excitement etc. For me I'm a little nervous about such a big change in my life. Me personally I have been spending a lot of time with Lord recently through prayer and reading scripture which has been the best for me. If I can be of any support or help just let me know.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
