Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

Congrats, o dorky one, on the promotion and the award and the fantastic prize! So sorry about the home repair, though. I'd probably :eek: if that happened to me.

I reported coloradocrazy to the mods, because it's fishy and I really get the suspicion that she's recruiting or something. That's probably why losingjusme stopped by. It's really sad that people have to be that way. That's the first time she's started a whole thread just to libel Dr. K. :tt2:

Hurray to everyone in the Labor Day Challenge! Doesn't look like I'll meet my goal...sigh...but hey, I am still losing so what-ever! :thumbup:

good job, Green, on reporting the crazy woman.

Adork: thumbs up on the promotion, prize, etc.:thumbup:

Roof repairs, obviously:thumbdown: We have a slight problem with a leak right now, but nothing like yours. Good luck on that.

Great pix, ladies, wish i could be there some time to meet y'all. Maybe someday.

Just got back from another casino run with the folks. Gawd, they love it! i got up at 2:45 this morning and we were off by 4; home by 2 with about 6 and a half hours of gambling in between. Whew....:tt2:

Am moving into soft food now. How does cottage cheese work for you guys? I had scrambled eggs with tabasco at casino this morning; gotta say not drinking Water while eating is going to be tough for me:bored:

Cottage cheese was one of my staples. Yes, the not drinking water thing is really tough, and sometimes I just forget and the next thing I know I've been chugging down water with my meal. Argh. I think it's just a habit issue, but it's a tough one.

Your folks sound fun. Not sure about that 2:45 AM thing though.

They are a hoot. Always have been.

I figure I can get up that time once a month to keep them from getting behind the wheel and driving one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in Oregon. It is known as Blood Alley from all headon deaths. I get to spend a good twelve hours with them and it puts a plus in my "good daughter" column. Of course, I am their only daughter, their only child actually. What are they gonna do? Disown me:tt2:

Zumba kicked my arse tonight. There was an anesthesiologist from the hospital behind me in the class and I told her I was glad she was there so she could resuscitate me when I keeled over. :biggrin: Not sure how it is going to be on my plantar fascitis, it is already hurting more than it has been the previous few weeks, so I will see how it is in the morning.

Seriously though, it was kind of fun. I am just woefully out of shape!

I am trying the spinning class tomorrow if I can drag my lazy butt out of bed! I am NOT a morning person! :cursing:

Ok ladies, seriously, with all the drama going on in my life with the soon to be ex, money issues, neighbor issues, and my fill doc being a jackass, I am in a serious FUNK. I can usually pull myself out within a few days (and working out usually helps) but nothing seems to be doing the trick this time. I hate feeling pissed off all the time like this-it is soooo not me.:biggrin:

We go to Spirit Mt., which is between Salem and Lincoln City.

that's what I figured. I HATE that road. Sometimes if we fly into Portland we'll take that route to the coast. I'm always freaked out by the number of memorial crosses on the side of the road. I hate the road from Eugene to florence as well.

I'm sorry Munchkin. I think you have every right to feel pissed off, but it's not a good state to stay in for long periods. Would a warm bath help? Or a good book? Or a snuggle with your puppies? Or a LARGE martini?:biggrin:

Prty, thanks for snapping that photo of us at the Red Robin! That was fun, and it was great to meet you all.

My pre-op appointment with Dr. K was this morning. All went well, so I am ready to go next Wednesday.

I am getting a little tired of Jello instead of fruit, but am hanging in there with the pre-op diet.

Oh sweetie. Sorry you are in a funk. They are the worst. I am sending you a giant smile and lots of huggies!!! :crazy: :biggrin: :biggrin: :wub: If you need to talk... call my. My cell is on the phone list.

* * * *

Thanks all for the congrats. :wub:

Our roof situation has taken another weird turn. Long story short, my claims adjuster from my insurance company totally slandered the owner of the restoration company we have working on our house right now. What he didn't know as he was mouthing off to me on the phone (totally floored me the shit he was saying to someone who he doesn't even know), was that the owner is a friend of mine.

So I called my friend, he called his attorney, his attorney called me, and tomorrow morning when the claims adjuster comes out I am going to tape record our conversation (legal in AZ) so my friend can hopefully start legal actions against him for slander. Guess there is some long history there. Don't know... not sure I care. Really don't want to get involved but I am stuck in the middle.

I just want my house fixed. *sigh* :lol:

Here are a few pictures of our lovely walls... or lack of them. Ha ha. The paint peeling was my first inkling something was up!

      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.
