What the.......



Recommended Posts

I was at my kids skating party last night and I was talking to another parent sitting at one of the tables and one of the people she was sitting with said "hey you look like that girl from the View" pretending that I didn't know who he was talking about, I kinda ignored it. Then he screams "I know who she is, Rosie O'Donnell!!" What the hell, was that supposed to be a compliment??? Nice...... I can't wait for my band, people used to say I looked like Brooke Shields!!!!!

Sorry that happened to you. I'm sorry but I can't imagine anyone being pleased with that comparison. That person must be lacking in the tact department.

That's funny, Linda. I was in to much shock that he would do that, that loud, for me to have a quick comeback. Anyways, it definately made me less scared about having the surgery. LOL

She's just jealous! I'm sure you still look just like Brooke!

Good luck next Monday... I'm going the same day...

In a few months, please will say you look just like Jessica Alba (just getting younger and younger every day)

I think without missing a beat I'd have started sniffing as if something were amiss, "Hey, why does it suddenly smell like a stall around here?"

<pause>

"Oh, because there's a horse's ass nearby. Sorry!"

Like I said, it totally motivated me. My fear about surgery is almost gone, now I just want it over with. It was very humiliating, especially in front of the whole table. I mean was I supposed to take it as a compliement? I could of told him, yeah you look like one of those slobs on the Sopranos, but I think I have class and an am careful of other people's feelings.

I've got a story like that - was sitting in my bosses office one day - he is talking to a collegue on the phone on conference call - and they were discussing a doctor who does gastric by-pass - he says "all he does is sit around down there and talk to fat women" --- then looks at me and says "no offense"

I'm like WTF????????

      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.
