Thanks guys, Mookie, your Doc happens to be my aunt so I don't want to go to her hee hee. She's a wonderful doctor though but I'm not telling my extended family about mu surgery. Your right that he's on a power trip, big time. BTW, did any of you have to pay for this to be done? He's charging me for it, I don't know how much yet. I think I need to find a new doc ASAP.

Shut up...Mumsy is your Aunt? I always tell her I wished she was my Mom. Does this mean you went to Shep too? Holy accomplished family or what? Huh..small world. I won't mention that I know you to her...promise.

Yep, had to pay for the paperwork too. I think it was 60$..her nurse/receptionist is a real hag though and would never let me get away with that.

Hey Becca my Dr. didn't charge me for the forms and she also took my blood so I would not have to go to the Lab. Phew saved me a trip there. Anyway she was great but I have to admit I thought that I was going to get charged because I noticed that she has charges for people that come in for physicals for their work, sports teams, etc. I guess her thought is that surgery (no matter if is cosmetic or not) is still surgery so why charge.

Anyway your Dr. sounds like he/she needs an attitude adjustment. :D

Sorry I've disappeared for a bit, trying to settle into our new house, wow, it's alot of work moving. So I went back to the doc first thing that next morning to get my bp re-measured, and guess what, it was fine. But the asshole that he is is still making me go to a specialist before he signs the forms!!! God I wish I had another doc. I will definately start looking for a new one once this settles down. But those of you from Alberta know what looking for a decent doc is like. Anyhoo, the disgustin opti-fast has started and because I don't have my fridge here yet I haven't been able to blend with ice and it is absolutely disgusting!

Those of us from Canada know what it's like to find a decent doc! I'd settle for having one, period. No, actually I wouldn't. I'd rather have a new doctor every time I go to a clinic than a horrible one EVERY time!

But welcome back, congrats on the new place :P

Hold on Becca and think of the rewards - and the look on the Docs face when you're a winner at LOSING (yep Weight wise if you get my drift)

Enjoy the little triumphs and hope you get your fridge soon so you can add some crushed ice.

      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!!
