Kaiser Richmond Pre-op



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for the kind words of welcome and support. Maybe I just caught Liz on an off day, but her bedside manner seemed a bit gruff. I am probably just overly sensitive. So, a question. Why is it that we can't get fills in Sacramento? Should we write Kaiser to inquire? It seems with so many of us in this area that it would be a reasonable request.

Have a great day everyone.

Hola everybody.....finally some down time at work. So we are having our staff appreciation luncheon today so I'm just waiting for that. LOL I've already planned to have protien and a little veggies.

So is the sleeve an overnight stay? Maybe John & lee will be roomies.

Riley--"i want to lick your patty . . " obviously my mind is in the gutter:lol:

have a nice day y'all

Tamra, BIG congrats on your test! You go girl!

Sleeve is one or two nights. Dr. Park told me it depends how we're doing but she thinks two nights.

LOL, I don't think John's wife will want us to be roomies, well until she sees that I'm old enough to be his mama, then she might think it was cool.

John, I'm TERRIFIED about the heave ho to the stomach too. It's in the dumpster and no matter how much we cry, we aren't getting it back. Of course, it's that darn stomach and how much I can fill it that got me to 249 in the first place. #$Y@#%Y#@*(%Y@#

OK it's official: I am 5 lbs. MORE than I was at my last fill!!!! Uhmmmmm . . . lesson: this is what happens when you don't FOLLOW THE RULES. I KNOW the rules . . . . they are just such a drag! But Robin and I talked about this: in the past (for the first 47 years of my life), is this the point at which I'd give up and go back to my old bad habits? Answer: Yes. Second part of question: And what happens when you do that now? Answer: my band wont let me! I can try to blow it, but the band'll stop me - AS LONG AS I DONT snack. So that's my challenge this week ladies and gent! No movie on Saturday either, since I can't seem to stay out of the friggin' theatre popcorn . . ;.

Don't get too excited about the Wed call from Robin. When she called me, she said in 2 days you can advance to the next stage. It was 2 weeks exactly when she called so I don't know why she made me go another 2 days.

ok back from lunch....my boss gave me a gift certificate and a box of see's candie WTF!!! So me being me said "wow candy the last thing I need. hehehe. I guess it was the thought. I have it on my desk for my students.

I'm with you Riley, the snacking has got to stop.

Where the hell is everybody??? I'm like Candra talking to myself.

oh I had the aspargus pork thingy for luch, much more than a cup but no rice so that was good.

Perhaps I should do some work? I'm so used to putting out fires that doing something in advance is almost the unthinkable.

Riley - welcome to my world - Move popcorn is made by the devil! So, I don't know if you read my other post about sunflower seeds ... In the shell they take a long time to eat, they have only 4g carbs and you get tired of eating them before you eat to many to matter - ideas??

Jes - I'm here. Today is not a good day for Rambo - I've noticed that some days he more lenient then others and today is a lienient day - I ate the entire patty and still had room for 2 bites of green Beans. Like you & Riley - it's the snacking that gets me. But really - it's so cold out what else is there to do after the sun goes down - LOL Summer will be it - we will be skinny then!

COCO - 1 WEEK AND COUNTING.

Lee, I'm sure Johns wife wouldn't mind you beeing roomies - you both will be too messed up to even realize you're in a room with the opposite sex LOL

John - I will PM you my number and you can have your wife call me if she needs anything while she's here - I'm close by!

Hello everyone!

Canolie- I'm here, been busy with dealing with stuff at home. I am still 210 going up and down from 211 to 210 it drives me freakin crazy...I cant wait for my fill in March. So my husband just told me we are going to the Melting Pot for V-day..does antone know if I can use my card there?

Candra- about the seeds..that's what I do at the movies..it helps I also suck on a charm lollipop.

Reggie- I plan to bring along a friend who got banded last year and hasnt found a support group I told everyone about her..she is the woman who didnt know what slimming was and I guess she is still experiencing a lot that I dont relate to becuase so far I have been ok..I am sure I will experience after my next fill. I think she mightbe to tight. She said she can't eat anything without throwng up. I told her she should call her dr. She had her surgery in SSF.

      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.

      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!!
