Recommended Posts

I just saw today that our Doctor died. Does anyone know when and what happened. We were sad to hear it. He was such a nice man.

Just thought I'd jump in here and add that I don't think it was a botched robbery. It was more like an ambush/assassanation from what I read. I guess we will never know unless the killers are caught. He wasn't my doctor, but I did go to another doc in Mexico and know several who used him.

WEll, I talked to Alma, and if your familiar with Dr. Sanchez you know she's his PR person. We talked for over an hour. He was not making his own bands and using them. His partner was Dr. Zapata and he is forging ahead. What happened was in Mexico your allotted so much land to give you a way to make money and if your land quits making money or you quit working it it goes back up for sale and goes to the higest bidder. This was what happened to Dr. Sanchez. He did pay his help, that had absolutely nothing to do with it. The land he had hired locals to work was land that use to be owned by some other locals. They were VERY upset that they're land was taken from them by their Gov. not Dr. Sanchez but they took it out on him when he and Suzanne drove up to check on some spots that needed refencing. It was a staged and set up robbery that went badly wrong and where he was shot out there was no way to survive. So don't believe the other rumors, this came from the horses mouth. I'll be going to the blast April 20-22 and they said they would go into more detail with us then. Dr. Zapata was already there when Dr. Sanchez done my surgery. Just thought I would clarify because I know how easy things get twisted and I talk to Alma at least once a month.

Well, the "horses mouth" is dead. I had surgery on January 16 and Dr. Sanchez' son, Rudolpho Sanchez was my liason and did all the transportation, medical visits, etc, to get my surgery done. He told me that his father was going to his ranch, with Dr. Gonzoles, to pay his people. As he got out to open a fence, he was ambushed, and shot. Dr. Gonzoles had to drive him an hour and half back to a hospital, but unfortunately he expired. In January, they had not apprehended the suspects. Dr. Gonzoles was extremely upset and when I got there, she had just took some needed time off, (with my medical records somewhere other than with the Dr. I was seeing). They eventually did something and by my medical report, she assisted in the surgery, however I didn't meet her....(I was in la la land).

      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!!
