So, I get a call for a motorcycle accident yesterday. We got on scene and it was down this hill anyway, to make a log story short I carried my pt up this hill on a backboard, I did all my cares and when I got back I went up the 5 flights of stairs to get to our sleeping quarters and nothing hurt! Not my knees nothing!! Best of all I could speak in full sentences at the wreck after carrying this pt and at the top of the stairs!!

I ant leave out the funny, so at the top of the hill, my freaking belt buckle popped out of the hole and I looked like a punk kid with my pants down to almost the bottom of my ass while I stand bow legged holding the gurney trying to get it into the back of the ambulance!

Anyway, this was huge for me because I am already seeing positive changes for a better me for myself and the communities I serve. Just needed to share this because for me, this was huge. Thanks for listening to yet another David rant lol :)

Isn't it amazing when you realize that your body is changing? You go along for days and weeks sometimes feeling the same and you have an ah-ha moment that brings you to reality and makes every sacrifice worthwhile. Good for you you've done well!! Great pants story to tell your kids or friends someday.

Way to go David! Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, loosin' weight dude with his pants on the ground. hee hee.

Hmm thinking maybe some suspenders are needed until you buy yourself some new work pants? You don't want to be giving your patients heart flutters seeing your new butt! :)

      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.
