Jack,

Only for those non-twisted minds :)

BTW, LOOK AT YOUR STATS, you sexy thang. Congrats !!!

The doc's office just called to say they wanted to cancel the appt... I felt my heart sink. There are two doctors that are going to see me today and one could not make it (yeah okay, riiiiiiight) anyhoo. After some whinning and begging I'll still be seeing the one today at noon and the other on Friday afternoon. Nothing like extending my insanity huh :rolleyes:

EDIT !! The doc's office called again, so the appt's not this Friday its Sept 2nd... OY VEY... pass me a freakin doobie will yah.

:D

Pheeeeeeew, glad thats done. I think the parking was the worst of it all lol.

Why is it every time I go some where, something embarassing happens? Okay, my appt was for 12 noon. Which means I had Breakfast at 8:30. By the time I was in the first doc's office it was 1:30 pm. The minute he started asking me about food....blah blah blah... my stomach started growling, and I mean LOUD! I never sweat so much in my life. When I got up off the love seat (love seat for two skinny people, regular chair for my lard ass).. I thought I would have to peal myself off.

He was a really nice guy. One question he asked was, does my DH make any comments like "when you get skinny, your gonna look for other guys." So I said to the Doc. Nope, he's never ever said anything like that because this guy has stuck with me through "THICK and THIN" LOL !!!! and he know's how much I love him. What I should have said to the Doc after he asked me that question was "are you asking me out on a date next year?" LOL At the end I asked him if I passed his nutty test. He said yes :) snort~

Next agggggonizing thing is the nutritionalist on Thursday.... :)

Glo, I'm in northern NJ, as north as you can possibly get :) Bergen Cty.

Ivan, yup it was easy, just uncomfortable. I mean lets face it, these skinny doctors have no clue what we are going through, yet they make you feel like you have 3 heads and they look at you in pitty. Well thats how I feel anyway lol. Remember Mr.T. I pitty the fool !!!!

Rica, a nut exam is the psychological exam that everyone has to go for b/c the insurance companys want to rule out that you do not have an eating disorder. They also want to prepare you for things that are going to happen or that can happen after the surgery (well prepare you the best they can that is).

Part II of my nut exam is Sept 2nd, so Ivan, its not over until the Fat Lady sings :)

      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!!
