Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

Denver:

I love the pre-op diet as I am a major carnivore!!

Breakfast: 4 strips of bacon or slice of ham or leftover steak

omelet (2 egg or 3) with cheese, mushroom, zucchini)

Lunch: any kind of salad with chicken or turkey added (Cobb salads are great for this) with blue cheese dressing:drool:

Or a grilled polish sausage with lots of mustard and cheese

Dinner: Steak:drool:, pork chops, chicken, or fish (as much as one can bear)

2-3 small portions of steamed veggies.

In between: sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles

I often make tuna sandwiches (with real mayo), a little relish (dill) and slap the mixture between two large pieces of lettuce as my bread.< /p>

Wow, just typing that makes me want some RIGHT NOW! I am just waiting to go to soft foods. Dr. K said it was pretty much up to me as an individual to make transition to soft and reg foods. How about you guys, did you stick with full liquids for two whole weeks?:confused2:

Ha ha, my hair is so fine I could never make it big IN the 80's! I rocked the asymetrical bob! I was quite stylin, got voted best hair in the yearbook every year! :(

Munchkin,

I read your words and I remembered thinking the same thing. I'm not sure how you feel now that he's out of the house, but I remember when I packed my Camry and headed north. Just me and my 15 y/o daughter.

I started my life over again, without any support. I knew not one person, I had no job, no place to live, but I knew I had to get out of that house! His actions had screamed disrespect for over 20 years.

After a very very short time, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. My ex was quite the handy man with everything. There wasn't anything he couldn't do around the house. Now, I find myself fixing the toilet, recaulking the bathtub and installing new locks on my front door. It's tough sometimes, but the stress-free life I now live is worth it all.

Remember you deserve someone who is going to love you and respect you. Don't settle for less.

Rationally, I know that. I am just having a bit of an emotional breakdown this weekend I think. It was the fence thing that finally pushed me over the edge! :( I have spent a good part of today crying. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

How was your night on the town? Did you rock?

I loved what you said about the Full Moon! I know working in the Birthplace, we always feared those nights. We also feared 9 mos. post prom! Or 9 months post big winter snow storms! ARGH!

Insane!

Naw, I didn't rock because my friends decided it was more important to stay at a bar and get drunk than go to the concert we had been planning on for two weeks. And they didn't tell me until 30 minutes before the concert was supposed to start, so I couldn't even find anyone else to go with at that late of notice. This is the girl who is supposed to go to Chicago with me next week. As frustrated as I am with my husband, I am almost tempted to take him instead, because Squeeze was always kind of our thing, and he will appreciate it alot more than she will. I don't like being crapped on by my friends. :(

We dread the awful "full moon Saturday nights". I think there was actually an episode of ER about that once!

ROCK ON!! Awesome song!! (But it does always remind me of the movie "Silence of the Lambs" because that is what the senators daughter was listening to in her car before Buffalo Bill abducted her. Why I remember random crap like this is beyond me!)

Ok ladies, I went for an unfill Friday and I am still way too tight. I just attempted to eat some KFC mashed potatoes, and I ate some cottage cheese earlier, and they both got stuck. This is getting old REALLY fast. And I am getting tired of having to pay for fills/unfills. I think I am going to call the office in the morning and demand that they get me scheduled for a fill under flouro. I have never had this many problems. I am sure some of it is due to stress, but still....I would have piece of mind if it is done under flouro and they make sure I don't have a slip or dilatation also. (As if I don't have enough to worry about right now, eh?)

Just for fun....what other 80's bands did everyone like? I LOVED 80's music...I am like the chick in the Bowling for Columbine song "1985". We listen to 80's night on the radio at work every Saturday and sadly it is the highlight of my weekend. (Yes, I have no life.)

My absolute faves were Duran Duran, The Go Go's, and U2. Once I got a little older I liked more of the New Wave stuff like The Cure and Depeche Mode. (Yes, I was one of those girls who wore black all the time. It drove my mom crazy.)

Hmmm, I loved Hall and Oats, Rick Springfield, Barry Manilow (I know, I know!) Michael Jackson, The Gap Band, Santana, Aerospeedwagon, Air Supply! I was and still am a gigantic nerd!!

Honey, I do believe a lot of it might have something to do with stress. Last week, when I was having my emotional breakdown, I couldn't eat a thing. I still tracked my food on www.fitday.com, and one day I ate 190 calories for the entire day. It sounds like you're in the same shoes. I do, however, hope it has something to do with stress and once you are able to relax a little, things will improve.

I'm going to send you a BIG BIG BIG hug! You know I adore you Munchie-girl! I'm very sorry you're having so many stressful events in your life right now. If there is anything I can do, call!

That's so funny! I am exactly the same way! I remember lines from movies and music... songs that were playing at specific times in the background!!! Funny, huh?

How is the soon to be ex doing?

I bet you wearing all black all of the time was just stunning with your blonde hair!

      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!!
