Of course it will never happen. I am married. The doctor is married. It's a crush that's all.

thanks

My next appointment isn't until 1/2/08 and I'm going on vacation* a week later so I don't think my next fill will be until Feb. I'm glad to hear you are doing so well. I still don't have any restriction but I'm plugging along.

I need to work on exercise. Cardio alone isn't cutting it. I need to get some little weights to start. I just ordered the Biggest Loser DVD to try too. What I really need to do is grow some balls and join a gym! lol

FL was great! We had an amazing time, everything went smoothly and the weather was beautiful. I am taking my boyfriend to Las Vegas in Jan as a surprise for his b-day!! I talked to his boss today and got him some time off, told both his bands not to schedule anything, booked the kennel for the dog, etc. He's going to be sooo surprised!

You should have an easy trip. When we went to FL in Oct I was at exactly 250 (I'm 5'5") and the airline seats were no problem at all!! I even had a little slack on my seatbelt because I didn't have to move it allllllllll the waaaaaaaaaaay to the end!

I haven't really seen ClaraMae posting lately - worries me a little.

DITTO!! My surgeon is also a hottie. I don't have a crush per say, but damn he's cute. My husband met him just prior to surgery. When he left the room, he rolled his eyes around and said, "Yeah... Now I know why you chose him!!"

My fill doctor is an offical hottie too.. He is a Cubano, tall, dark and very handsome...But no crush, sweet on my eyes.. My hubby is also tall, dark and very handsome, so I have my hands full with him.

my band doctor is not the type of guy that i would develop a crush on. i'm sure he was a looker in his time, but there is a pretty significant age difference between himself and me. Now, he is not a bad looking guy, but i prefer my strapping "youngish" man with a six pack at home..lol (although my band doctor did warn dh, that he (my doc) used to look just like dh (in build) and that his day is coming too, and then he will understand where i am coming from...THANK YOU DOC!!. i almost had tears come to my eyes however, when he was explaining stuff to me. very understanding, very compassionate man. lots of experience...and he sits down and really talks to you..

my pcp, however, there is no crush, but i feel a connection to her (thus the reason no crush). she hugs me when i come in to see her. she has shared with me her own weight loss struggle and her own history with an eating disorder and sexual abuse. she is awesome. i feel like she is a friend. although, wouldn't call her on the weekend. she gave me her cell phone number once, but got rid of it..i figure they have enough of us patients during the day..haha. plus..she has seen parts of me that no normal "friend" would ever see.

My doc is a handsome man.. and the most charming person I've ever met (that's a big reason I picked him, he was so personable and made me feel comfortable).. But I'm not attracted to him.. I would say it's age, since he is significantly older than me.

This is kind of funny.

When I researched my surgeon all of the reviews talked about what a hottie he was. Above and beyond his success rates, competency, etc. - they were talking about his looks. Like that's what I care about.

When I saw him, I had to disagree with them. Didn't do anything for me at all. (I think he's the spitting image of Kevin McKidd). Someone I know who used him things he's a total dreamboat. I just can't see it. But I don't care.

He did a fantastic job with my surgery, and the second surgery I went to him for, and that's what I care about.

A lot of it has to do with the emotional support and the caring personalities...

i wouldn't say i have a crush on him... but feel connected to him because of how helpful, encouraging and supportive he has been.:)

I haven't fallen for my doctor but it is easy to do when you are seeing an attractive, kind caring person on a regular basis. Remember, you are the most important person to them while you are in session and who doesn't feel special when they get that kind of attention.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
