Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

Maybe it could be sort of a "jam" . . . . free-form, jazzy flatulence. Yeah, that would be great.
Oh boy! Just something more to look forward to! Hurry Jaime, get that Band, so you can join the Band on the Loser's Bench and make Puff Mama's musical dreams come true!
You mean like 'folk music?' Or "fart music?" "Bluegrass" OR "Bluegas?"

:cool2::w00t::smile:

Actually ladies, I am quite musical. However I'm not sure I could get my gas to actually beat out a rhythm (yes Dee, you spelled it right!). I'd be happy to join the band though! I can sing!

Yummy!!!

I wanted to share with you one of my current addictions. Flatout Bread! I am absolutely in love with it! 100 calories for the entire Multi-grain wrap, 2.5 grams of fat, 17 grams of carbs, 9 grams of Protein AND 5 grams of FIBER! It is so good! I make pizza with it, Breakfast burritos, veggie wraps, or I just put some almond butter and bananas on it and eat it! OH! I love it! I can’t eat the entire wrap, it’s too big, but every bite is so fulfilling!

Check out their website - then venture over to Cost Co and try it out! YUM YUM YUM! www.flatoutbread.com.

Hi everyone!

I am proud to say that as of Weds, the 24th I am apart of the Dr. K Bandsters!! I have had some trouble with nausea but it is slowly going away. I never thought how weird my stomach would feel. It feels like someone is strangling my tummy. LOL

:cool2::thumbup::smile::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::w00t:

Welcome to the bench! Try a heating pad on the belly.

Sounds to me like you are the one keeping it going or you wouldn't have come back in here. If you were to read our posts I think that you will find we are ALL very focused on our weight loss and being healthy. You would also see how supportive we all are of each other. Wait, isn't that what this forum is all about?! I bet you run into conflict everywhere and never think it is you, huh?

Go Tally! Call it like you see it.

Hello everyone! I was banded today and thought I should "pop" in and let everyone know I'm doing great! Surgery was @ 9:00 and I was on my way home by 1:00. Amazing! I'm having a little bit of gas and some pain @ larger incision but other than that doing well. :w00t:

Welcome also to the bench! Glad you are doing so great.

Prty, my daughter and I looked up the Russia to Alaska distance. If you count the outer islands, it is 3 miles. If you count peninsula to peninsula it is 50 miles. Did you see the latest Tina Fay parody of the Katie Couric interview? lol!!!!!:lol:

Eat half and fill it with tuna or egg salad. I put it in the oven and make it like a cracker, then cover it with pizza sauce, turkey sausage, veggies and 2% cheese. It's a little pizza! So good! The carbs are pretty low and if you eat 1/2 of it, you should do okay. You truly should be able to eat 20 grams to 30 grams each meal and 15 grams each snack.< /p>

I did! Wow! I had no idea it was that close! That's amazing! How did I ever NOT know that? Being the Cliff Claven, that I am, I should have known that trivia! I love Tina and Amy! Did you see, "My Baby Mama?" It was so funny!!!

Tina is soooo funny as Sarah Palin. She just kills me. The only time I watch SNL anymore is during the elections. I just love their parodies. I still find myself doing Al Gore with his description of the Lock Box for social security.

Speaking of Al Gore, did you hear about that woman who broke one of those new light bulbs? They are filled with mercury. Anyway, she called 911 and they told her to call a Mercury Hazmat Team to clean up the mercury. She did and they did and she got a bill for $5000.00.

Nice, huh?

I am so happy to be here! The nausea has finally gone away. Yay!

I do have another question for you. This might me TMI so let me know. My surgery was the 24th and I haven't had a poop. Nothing. I don't even feel like I need to but I kind of have a dull pain on my lower left side. Have any of you felt this before? Is it Constipation?

Sorry for such a gross question!!

Mdargen! NOT TMI! We've all been there and NOT done that! Unfortunately, I purchased every OTC softener available to man and woman! AND not one worked. AT one time, I was putting Miralax in prune juice three times a day. Nothing! It was bad! Then I sent Natalie an email and she said to try a piece of fruit. I did and it worked! An apple, pear, grapes, anything like that works for me! So now, I try to eat a piece of ripe fruit everyday... sometimes, if I'm hungry twice a day. I also upped my fiber! I eat high fiber crackers and bread (toasted).

Good luck but know it's normal. You're not eating much!

Yes, sadly, it's normal. This is gross, but I MISS my pre-band regularity. Now I'm really irregular, constipated most of the time, etc. I think I didn't have a movement for a good week after surgery.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
