Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

Presidential campaign! I've fallen prey to the "back and forth" -- watching the various cable new networks and reading the news online. I've got to reel myself in and turn the TV off! Too much of my attention has gone to the talking heads. It's no wonder I'm not getting any pounds off! Time for me to step away from the news.

Too funny! Before I came back to work this week, my entire days were spent in front of the T.V. with the political news. I had to literally pull myself away at the end of the day even though I ws hearing the same stuff over and over again. Be strong, you can do it :unsure:

Of course you know it will be so much more fun to come back to Denver!!!

Yeah, I was going to do that anyway but I called that one more Dr. and was shocked to hear yes, we can do it for you. Do they think I am stupid or something and would actually (or could even) pay that price. But then I would miss you :unsure: So Denver it is. I am not even looking anymore. I think you ALL need to move to Tallahassee, pretty please?

WTF?!? $3-800??

What do they mean every fill is different??? You may use a tad more saline than before? Give me a break!!! You could fly here for that cost...

Insane! That makes me mad!

Ok, I am ROFL now!! That is the exact thing I wanted to say to the woman on the phone. I was dumbfounded and didn't even know what to say. When she said 800, I said "dollars?!". She said "yes, Dollars!" then I could almost hear the silent "idiot!" :unsure:

I'm sorry to inform you but that's just :unsure:

Shelbi is clearly insane :ohmy:

I was shocked :smile:

and appalled :lol: that she would devulge my secret problem with flatus :tt2:

This Band is not a joke :drool:

Shelbi is very naughty on the loser's bench :tt2:

I'm angry :w00t: and embarrassed :tt1:....

Hello friend,

I do experience the same problem at times. Gas-X helps. There are days when my husband enters our bedroom, raises his eyebrows:embaressed_smile: and smiles, "I think I'll go in the other room".

Triggers for me: Milk, broccoli bits, also

artificial sweetner drinks combined with milk base items such as cheese. For some weird reason the two ferment or something strange and off I go to helium land.

*and it isn't funny when you are producing the auditory equivalent to a short applause*

............................................................................

Weighed today and I was the same as last week. 307.

Med transition is down to the last one which I began switching two days ago.

New feeling is divine. I'm doing so fine.

Is this how you want this Mini? Hopefully I am not stepping on your toes!

Either way. I can update it or you can do it yourselves. I have an Excel spreadsheet that I'm using to keep track.

Mini - I'm part of the Halloween Challenge...don't forget me!!! My goal was 16 lbs. and this week I lost 4 lbs.!!!! Note: I'm hungry and irritable AND it's that TOM too! Also note: I thought I was 215 and -16 would make me in onederland, but I weighed myself last Fri. and I was 218...still lost an incredible amount this week so I don't really care!

Politics - Some people have asked me about Palin - since I live in Alaska and all..well, I have to admit that my opinion is a little biased...see, my husband is a State Trooper and she's not been so good to the Department of Public Safety. I'm not sure who I'm voting for yet, but I feel that any "issues" that Alaska may have with Palin will be sorely underscored by the GOP's money...yep, that's all I have to say - a little short-winded today.

DENISE...

can you go on Monday?

Brandy, Monday is fine, what time and where?

Flying to Denver for free/cheap fills from Dr. K is sounding better and better!

Plus we can all get together and go to dinner or something. And meet face to face.

Either way. I can update it or you can do it yourselves. I have an Excel spreadsheet that I'm using to keep track.

Mini, Put me down for 1 this week, makes me 138. Yeah...:lol:

Hey Kidlings,

I am at work and just ran downstairs, (well, not ran, but walked) -- (actually, took the elevator) ANYWAY, I was in the cafeteria getting my lunch and I turned around and there he was -- Dr. K!

He was on the phone, but asked how I was doing and said, that I looked good! (Thanks Dr. K! You look pretty good, yourself!)

Anyway, I was so thankful that he didn't catch me with a tray full of pizza, cake, pies and onion rings!

I was getting my regular Garden Burger with Jalapenos!

(I can't promise, if I hadn't been on the Vegan diet, I wouldn't have been getting the pizza!!)

sheesh... so close~!

Wow, how awesome is that? I guess you're one of those that lives in CO? Do you work at one of his hospitals or something? That's so cool that he remembers you. I can imagine he has lots and lots of band patients. :lol:

I was wondering what you were thinking about Palin. I have very strong opinions on the subject, but realize that discussing politics is probably not such a good idea.:wink2:

I can however say this -- CONGRATS ON THOSE 4 LBS!!!!:lol:

I do! I work at Parker Adventist Hospital. He does his outpatient procedures at Crown Point Surgicenter which is housed in my hospital.

He'll remember you -- even if he has a 1000 patients, he will always remember you, I can promise you that!

Besides Jaime, Dr. K's seen my innards and if they aren't memorable, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS!

Ha!!!

      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!!
