WOW!!!

Sue you look fabulous. What a difference, you should be proud girlfriend!. I am happy to hear your visit to the Dr. went well. How is your back feeling?

Hey...my primary contributions to this have been having a hubby with decent insurance and not giving up. The rest was just just to stop being parayzed by fear and, after a couple of years, to move on.

But YOU are flying solo and still losing, so YOU have something to be proud about!!!

Back is fine, but I'm still on steroids. I hope that result lasts when I stop taking them!!! (I mean I was UNABLE to get up off the toilet...NOT a good place to be stuck.)

I had a stalker that followed me to florida when i moved there for college. I know how scary it can be sue. He made the one mistake not checking things out before just walking up to the door and knocking on it. I was there living with my boyfriend and our male roommate. Both around 250 pounds of solid muscle. hehehehe but my stalker resorted to just lots of calls and following me around for approx 2 years after moving to florida. he was my ex boyfriend that was extremely abusive and dangerous. it all finally ended when we got a call from a police officer that we reported the incidents to on a regular basis. this idiot pulled a gun on the cops when they came to give him his new restraining order. so we don't have to worry about him stalking me anymore. sue....from one stalked girl to another...i do not wish him dead, but i wish you peace in this soon so you do not need to have that constant worry any longer.

LOL about the resolution, Amy. (MY moron HAS his own badge and gun...and he's old now. I don't think he'll show up anywhere I am...I hope. But I refuse to let him do what he says he wants to do, which is to see me and to talk to me.)

Anyway, I have a funny story that your reminded me of. Our daughter is involved with the entertainment industry. She wrapped on one BIG film and got hired on another by one of the two co-producers...but the OTHER co-producer had promised her job to a nephew. He was abusive and finally gave her a pink slip and couple of weeks' pay as the Christmas party was starting. She was shattered.

Two years later, she runs into someone from that film. "You didn't HEAR?" she was asked. Seems the nasty co-producer was driving like he owned the world and when some other driver did not defer to his supremacy, he got pissed and started waving a .45 automatic at the guy. The guy who was in the other car held up HIS .45 automatic...and a badge. As in, "I'll see your weapon, and raise you a legal reason to have it...your move, a$$hole."

The nasty co-producer got to go to jail that night.

Now when our daughter thinks back to that film, she always radiates a smile.

My gosh, Sue. I could slap you! All this time I've been envisioning someone so much larger than your pre-op weight, and now your body looks like a normie! Okay, where do I sign up for one of them fancy bypass operations? And as far as poop smelling, mine hasn't been the same since pre-band but I use a "sexual Febreeze" called Between the Sheets (yes, Slumber product) that's made with talc and absorbs odors and leave the room smelling like Pear Blossoms.

I'm waiting for one of two things to happen:

1) I'll win battles with my two insurance companies and they'll eventually pay my stacks of bills from my countless band-related complication surgeries

OR

2) What's that bankruptcy attorney's number?

Hopefully I can start bypass proceedings and avoid bankruptcy proceedings! Sue, thank you for being here. WE NEED YOU!

Lisa, my pre-op BMI was right about 48-49 both times--although it had been higher. Right now, it's JUST UNDER 35.

But I look for-shit in a do-rag, so I'm jealous of you.

My guy has an office on Green Valley Parkway...lemme know when you get rich!!

Sue, you look great!!

My mom has always said that anyone who does something nasty, gets their payback (karma, whatever), it's just a matter of whether or not you are there to see it or hear about it. It's great that your daughter got to hear the story about that nasty producer!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
