Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

[BellaPerdente 0]

Hi all,

My weigh in is -1 for the week. It seems to follow this trend. One week is "weak" and the next is strong. I will take that.

Adork, dont feel bad, I have had the munchies for a couple of days and I hate it. It gives me a glimpse of my old self. I don't want to see that person EVER again!!! Just keep thinking about that. I love eating like a normal person. I love feeling normal and not like a "pig". After I had my little eating "binge" tonight. I did my Leslie Sansone Power walk. It made me feel a little better for my bad choices. I always tell myself that if I keep eating the wrong foods and eating too many Snacks, then my bad habits will start creeping back to me and our good habits will take a back seat. WE MUST STAY STRONG. We have been through to much to let "food" ruin all our hard work.

Will the 12th be OK? The 28th is the week of Thanksgiving so I can't do that, seeing as how I'm cooking a huge family meal on Thursday the 27th, haha. Let me know if the 12th will work for you and I'll book flights tomorrow, as well as make the appt with Dr. K. You are such a sweetheart Dee!!! :tt2:

Jamie, I can pick you up on the 5th, I'll do a fill the same day as well.

Dave is awesome! I love him! If you ever want any CDs I will have my friend burn some for you and mail them to you so you can get the full Dave effect! (His live CDs are better than the studio ones, he is phenomonal live!)

Munch, Send me a CD I would love that. I'll pm you and get you my address. Thanks a ton...

Apparently I misunderstood them when I asked about Fridays in December. Dr. K is out on Dec 12th. :tt2:

So, I have made my first fill appointment for Friday Dec 5th. If anyone is going to be getting a fill in December and wants to go with me (or just wants to pick me up and help a girl out), let me know! I fly in Friday Dec 5th at 9:45a, appointment is at 11:30a, and I fly back to NC at 3:45p.

So, if anyone wants to give me a ride, I'll give you gas money AND buy your lunch!! :tt2: If not I will be going to Priceline.com to get a rental car for cheap! Unless you think a taxi to/from Dr. K's office is going to be cheaper than getting a rental? Let me know!

Nope, thankfully I was smart and didn't book the flight til I was confirmed with Dr. K. So I'll be booking my flight tonight sometime. The flight I was looking at went from $188 on Monday to $288 today, so I'm kinda like Don't worry though, I'll figure something out. You can get really cheap rental cars on Priceline by naming your own price usually. It'll all work out, don't try to switch shifts just cuz of me!

Seriously I'll pick you up. We can do lunch.< /span>

Yay...the 20th! I just did my monthly calendar and realized I have parent teacher conference for both boys the 15th. I really hope I can make it. I need to make sure Denise gets her clothes back....most of it is not my style.:tt2: (still kinda like the fat lady clothes! hahahaaha!)

Hey Lady, We have missed you. You are not the fat lady clothes, you are looking so good and need to shed that reputation. I don't know if I can make it, but maybe someone else would like to try my clothes on for size...

What size clothes do you have Woofay? I could really use some! I am lingering at size 16-18.

...and yes, you really must shed the "fat" lady rep! You are one of my LBT Superheros!

Hi All: I went shopping a couple of days ago and was able to fit into a 1x top and size 22 bottom:thumbup: I think my stomach will be hard to shrink without surgery.

If anyone has any clothes in these sizes they don't wear anymore, let me know.

I have sizes 24 and 26-28, if anyone is interested.

Bella, did any of the clothes I gave you after your surgery fit? Were the pants or shirts too long? I tend to wear longer shirts because of my huge pannus. I might have some shorter pants, I can pass on.

I have a huge hamper in my bedroom, when something is clean and it's too big, it goes in the hamper. When the hamper fills, I go through it and send it to my sister or donate to the ARC people.

Popping in to say hello, my wonderful band peeps!

I haven't forgotten you, but am having frequent computer connection problems that have made me actually have to drive to the real office to work! I'm spoiled, I know.

Mal and Dee -- I am so very, very proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am behind and don't know if I will ever catch up again, but please know that I'm wishing everyone well and keeping you in my positive thoughts!

Hey! Thanks a million! I had troubles getting the flight I wanted - by the time I got around to booking it, it had gone up $100.

I'm on Southwest flying in at 8:40a. My flight home is at 2:00p on Delta. MINI, I'm connecting in SLC - I'll be there for an hour!

So anyways, I've got to change my appointment time to around 10:00a or 10:30a which I'll do first thing Monday morning. How long does a fill take? I just hope I can make my afternoon fight! :tt2:

Denise!!! Thank you so much for helping Jaime! I was worried about the ole gal wondering this big city alone!

You are still welcome to join us for lunch! The more the merrier!

Popping in to say hello, my wonderful band peeps!

Hey hey hey, Shelbi-baby! Missing you! Sending positive internet connection thoughts your way!

OOOH OOOH, I've only got 25 days until surgery!!! YAY!!! :tt2:

My husband and I are going shopping now. We are going to buy a new recliner today! The thought of sleeping in that old "thing" for 3 or 4 days makes my ass hurt, haha. He got it about 7 years ago and it is soooo ready to retire.

Happy Saturday ladies!!!

Shelbi!!! My long lost Bandito Pal! Why have you been gone for so long? We missed you!!! :tt2:

People have been talking about my Gas problem! They were even afraid of riding in my car with Jaime (she has a gas problem too!)

How's the BFL going?

Oh how I wish I had had a recliner! I had to sleep on the sofa, sitting up with lots of pillows. It was hideous! I'd love to join you for lunch, if I can find someone to switch shifts with me.

Sometimes, a fill is really quick! But sometimes they are really busy and you have to wait. I've waited about an hour. But not much longer than that. Dr. K's office isn't that far from the airport. You could ask Deb how long it took her to get back to the airport.

Shelbi!!!! It's so nice to hear from you. How are you?

[BellaPerdente 0]

Dee,

The shirts are too big now, but I wore them for awhile. I appreciated that sooo much. I need size 1x tops and size 22 pants. I also like my shirts long.

Bummer Dude. I'm going to be in the 1x shirt soon and the 20-22 pants I'm currently in. When I get out of them, I'll contact you, but by then you'll probably be in 18's!

My problem now is a good winter coat. My last one was a 5xl! I got a 2xl at Steve and Barry's for $7.99, but it's lightweight and won't do the work for heavy Colorado winters. I hate to spend money on a coat for just one winter!

I hear ya. I bought a pricey-for-me down coat last winter and it's too big now. I really don't want to pay a bunch of money for another one for this year. It sucks. Is it cold there today? We're supposed to get a big snowstorm this afternoon. Bleh.

Can I buy it from you?

It's supposed to snow here tonight! ARGH!!!
