so, along with my damn insurance issues- i missed the seminar because I could've sworn it was at 7pm and I arrived at 10 till and the nurse looked at me like I was crazy. I said I need to check in and she said the seminar started at 6pm. I have to wait until the 28th for another seminar and so I think I might go to a different seminar with a different doctor. Ugh! KUg

Today is just not my day. I missed the seminar because I could've swore it was at 7pm. I arrived 10 till only to find out I was an hour late and I wouldn't be able to go to another seminar until July 28th. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! How frusturating. Anyway, KUgirl when is your surgery date? Or do you even have one yet?

I'm sorry you missed the seminar :cry. I wish they had more seminars. I remember missing two in a row due to conflicts in the day or the time before finally making it to one. But once you do go to one they usually can get you an appointment for a consultation pretty quick. Well, I hope you make it to the next one, he's a great doctor! Good luck with the pre-surgery diet :lol:.

Hey every body!

Sorry about all the struggles with the seminar. I think there is one that does them on line. Have you checked out Welcome to LAP-BAND.com. You can sign up for free and see the calander and will tell you where they are all held at.

Hope every one had a good weekend.

I don't have a date yet, but still got a few months left on my diet. LMAO!

Talk to you all later-

Your friend-

Rebecca Kenny AKA KUgirl

      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!!
