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!!!

      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!!
