Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

Short and sweet and to the point. My restriction went away this week again. Had a fill today, asked him to check my level, I lost a cc over the past 2 weeks. :whatchutalkingabout So he is positive I have a leak.

Put a call into Natalie. Not sure which direction I am going to go. I am nervous as hell to have my port replaced under local in the Dr office here... but can't afford to do the whole fly to Colorado, have it done under general, in a surgery center thing either.

I am just so tired and bummed out today. I was really hoping it was a fluke and it wasn't leaking. *sigh* :wub:

Challenge weigh in: I am up 1 pound.

Oh Dorky one. I'm sorry to hear that the job search is not going well. I know you don't want to ask for help, but if his parents have offered then you need to take them up on it. I know if my kids were in the same situation, I would do whatever I could to help and I would be MORE upset if they needed help and didn't ask.

Thanks for the advice. I will keep that in mind when it gets tighter... right now I have been able to keep us afloat. His mom took him grocery shopping last night and insisted on paying... so they are helping us out there for now. Still no job although he does have an interview today.

I am at 0 pounds for the challenge today. I am getting soooo frustrated with this stupid plateau. I have been the same weight for over a month now (I am not really counting the 5 pounds loss the first week of the challenge. That was weight I had gained while in MI.. it just put me back to where I was before before I left) :whatchutalkingabout

If you hear on the news about a woman running repeatadley over her scale with her car...you will know it's me. :wub:

Are you getting snow? We have this kind of icky sleet looking stuff coming down and it sure looks like it's going to snow.

I didn't see any snow til I got her to work, now it looks like it is really getting slick out in front of our building (I am down off of Colo Blvd and Mississippi). It ought to be a nice slow drive home:cursing:. And I can't believe how cold it is out there:eek:.

I had the worst time all through the months of September and October. I was only losing 1/2 pound a week. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. I don't know what the secret is. sigh.

Hopefully you are over that. I don't know either, guess just wait til it passes.

I am down 2 for the challenge this week. I know it is good, but the scale hasn't budged for 3 days. I just wish it would at least go down a little every day. It is discouraging when it doesn't.

challenge weigh in: down 1.2

not bad considering thanksgiving and a celebratory weekend with friends...lots of alcohol:blushing:

the community center where I take art classes has built a new aquatic center that will open in January. I am signing up for aquaaerobics and am soooo excited about it. I love being in water:lol: So that will give me an hour of exercise three times a week. Considering I do nothing now, I am hoping that will really help my weight loss.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are leaking. Dammit. I can sure understand not wanting to have it replaced under a local . . . I wonder if they can hang up a sheet or whatever so you can't see? I'm thinking of how they drape you during a c-section so you can't actually see what they're doing. Or maybe twilight sedation?

How did hubby's interview go?

Oh, poop. I'm so sorry. I HATE plateaus. Hate hate hate them. Hang in there. It really will get better eventually. It has to, right?

YAY MARIE!!! 2 is great. I notice that I stay stuck for 3 or 4 days then drop 1 or 2 lbs really fast.

Mini,

No change on my weight this week! It's been an insane week. I had the tummy flu and vomited for 24 hours. (not straight! - thank goodness!) It was the first time I have vomited since getting my band! But luckily it wasn't band related. I also got another fill yesterday. Just a small one, but it's working! I need to remember to chew chew chew! As our fills get looser, we tend to return to not chewing as well. I, also started my new job! A massive learning curve! I left a job where I was an expert and accepted one where I am a total dummy! AND believe me I feel like it! :tongue2:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
