Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

Okay Everyone -

Lap is coming to town, which night gets us the most people to Red Robin - April 9 (Wed) or April 10 (Thursday)?????? She promises to spend time with us this visit. So let's post and figure this thing out. Dee, Woofay, Mal, Brandy, John, Bookender, put in your two cents!!!!

I am with you Lap, my stomach isn't telling when it's full any more. There is really a shift. I have a fill scheduled in a few weeks, and it is what I need. I have never felt full before my band. I was constantly in a state of hungry, would overeat to a point of sick to my stomach. It is wonderful that the band has helped me get in touch with something that most people think is normal. I agree that it might be a gene, I think it is emotional/behavioral too. Just having the feedback gives me some peace of mind, maybe like that stuff they give alcoholics so they will get really sick if they drink. I am waiting for the day, and I feel it is coming where I can say, you know food just isn't THAT important.

Anyway, have a great night.

Michelle

An anabuse for overeaters would be good! Maybe we should put our heads together and invent one!

I am voting for RR on the 9th. I'm working the 10th,11th and 12th that week. That's my vote and my 2 cents!

Well, tomorrow is my first fill! I'm getting really nervous about it. BUT excited too!

Thanks Michelle!

Good morning, All! I'm recovering from a snow day....I cleaned all day! I truly don't care which day we do RR. All I need is a good weather day! Please, please, Pleeeeeeeeeeeze bring good weather! :thumbup: Wednesday is just fine with me. Lap, are you really going to see us this trip?

Well, just when I was sure I needed a fill~~~~~~my band has been so tight for about 3 days. EEEEEEEK!:teeth_smile: My good ole friend PB has returned to visit me! RATS! It usually occurs like this for my TOM, but this isn't the case this time. Who knows? Fickle lil' band of mine!:shades_smile: But I finally have lost another pound, so I'll take it!

Have a fabulous day, All! I gotta go feed my lil guys now! (go to work)

Hey Everyone,

I haven't posted in a while, but have been reading and getting caught up. I had a fill last Thursday, than was unable to eat or drink for 4 days. I had to go back in yesterday and have an unfill. Needless to say I lost 7.7 ponds in 4 days. I am now down to 180 a total of 32 pounds since this journey started. It is weird though, I have to remind myself that I have actually lost this weight. I look in the mirror and my clothes are hanging but I still think I am fat. I have gone through my closet but don't really want to buy new clothes because I know in a few weeks to a month they will no longer fit. That's a great thing, so what I do is keep the clothes that are a little baggy and pass the rest on to goodwill.

Well I hope everyone is well and I can't wait til the first day of SPRING.

I vote for the 9th as well.

Hmmm, I thought that was what the lap-band and PB's were... the anabuse for overeating. I know I'm not too keen on the ol' PB...

Darn...another reason I wish I lived closer. I would love to meet everyone.

Dee - good luck with the fill. I can't wait for mine either. I'm actually scheduled Apr. 14 with a doc here in Oklahoma. I've decided...if I don't like him....I'll just start flying into Denver to see Dr. K. We'll see how it goes.

Started eating a few "not so mushies". Yeah!!! I'm feeling great and noticing a difference in my clothes. I'm down 50 lbs....WOOHOOO!!! I'll have to post some pics as soon as I take some.

Hope everyone has a great "bandalishous" week!!!

Thanks Amieru!

I got my first fill this afternoon! He gave me 3.3mls. I had some clear Soup for dinner and everything went down okay.

My throat kind of feels like there is a lump there, but I am not having trouble drinking or eating clears.

I'll see how things go in the morning when I eat some softies.

Good News!

Dr. Kirshenbaum has no intention of retiring!

I talked to Natalie today and she said he received lots of really nice Birthday cards AND even though he is now 65 years old, he has NO intention of retiring!

Sigh! Big Sigh of Relief!:lol:

Mal, girl how are you doing. I hope feeling so much better, I had that bug seriously bad and it had me down for five weeks. Sending cyber CHICKEN SOUP>>>

Dynamo Mini thanks for making the reservations and planning our gathering.

I'm thinking it would be a fun thing for us to all bring something to the gathering. I was thinking bring ONE THING...a picture, a book, a DVD, anything that has helped you on your journey. Bring one thing or two, it would be a nice and fun activity ( is the educator in me coming out?) :biggrin:

What do you all think?

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
