Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

LMAO!!!

My new idea. I could wear my underwear two sizes to big to my doctors appointment ...........and when I get on the scale to weigh before they have time to comment about 12 pounds I could saw "oh great my underwear is just way to big nowdays and keeps falling down!!" Or I could wear my size 22's and safety pin them together and see if anyone comments on them!! Thinking, thinking.................subtle but effective!! LOL

Oh the stress is getting to me now!! I am not loopy on mophine this time so I won't be able to pull off some the crazy stuff I did pre and post op without looking like a totally loony!!

I would like to subtlely make my point that I have lost inches not pounds!!

Tina we can trade books. I'll dig out what I got in the recipe box and gather up what i can find that's appropriate. If I can figure out how to email them to you i will do it that way.

[swrktp 1]

Maybe I will go in with a measuring tape around my neck and suddenly blurt out............I wonder what this is for!! LOL.

Italians make the best cooks and I have heard other things but I have zipped my lips since I myself am not Italian!! LOL

[AudsMom 2]

What have you heard about italians??? I am 50%.

So is ANYONE going tomorrow. Its an hour drive for me so i wanna make sure people are showing lol.

I like the measuring tape Idea - wear it around your waist like a belt - LOL. Being weight loss specialists I'd think they would understand the importance of measurements. Don't stress, the scale with drop down in no time.

I'm telling you I can't cook! The faux baked ziti was a fluke.

Sorry Nicole, i won't be there! I'm 1/2 Italian (Genovese) too and 1/2 mut (Sicilian).

Tina, the other stuff you heard is, most likely, true - LOL! Speaking of nationalies, where are you from? I thought i detected a slight accent in your voice.

[swrktp 1]

Ok I will make a belt of braided measuring tapes and stylishly tie them around my waist!! Thing is I am crazy enough to do it just as a practical joke..............

Actually I am gonna talk to Dr. Baggs about the inches thing. I know they get it...................see what he says.

He is a very funny guy and that just eggs me on sometimes!! I don't think I would try or say some on the things I do with Dr. Fisher!! LOL.

I hear Italians make better lovers!!! :-) But shhhh........you didn't hear it from me!!

[swrktp 1]

I am scottish american by blood and greek american by marriage or divorce whatever suits you!! I lived in Greece for awhile and was married to greek guy so I adopted that culture and country. My daughter is greek to the core so I am greek by default!! LOL

AH I can cook some mean greek food but it is all high fat being I am vegetarian...............maybe I will try to revise that to low fat sometime!!

The accent is all me. Funny you say that because everyone does but I was born and raised in California except for living in Greece for awhile.

OMG Tina you have me totally busting up! I LOVE the idea of wearing the measuring tape like a belt, then going, "oh gee, I wonder what this is for!' Since I am always the wacko one there, be nice to have some other zanies around there!! LOL, keep em coming laughter burns lots of calories! :-)

I can't go tomorrow, Tuesdays are Board of Supervisors & I am usually presenting so they are pretty much out . . . the Tuesday I got there a few weeks ago was great tho, you guys are SO much fun!!!

They measured us at the beginning & end of our 14-week class in Santa Rosa, I lost 5 freakin' inches off my waist in the time! Nothing so dramatic since, dagnab it . . . .

Rosey ol' pal, good to hear from you!! Wish I had made the meeting you had, dagnab it again . . .I want to meet you! As I was hiking up hills Saturday, giving thanks that my body is working the way He intended for it to again, it occured to me that this whole time that I was thinking He had let me down with this body, in fact the whole time, it was I letting Him down by not doing what I needed to do to keep my body healthy . . . lots of factors in that, of course . . .and how blessed I am to have this band, as it has allowed me to come back to health and realize it, and . . . . anyways as I was walking, I thought I had to tell you that! So there you have it

[riley4183 0]

LOL Tina, no I can't see us having nearly as much fun with Dr. Fischer. While I agree that the braided tapes is TOTALLY stylish, I would implore you to not bring up the fill video just in case he asks you what you thought of it, and you have to answer honestly . . ay yi yi, my bad!!!

Hey you know what would be totally cool, you can make the braided belt & then post a pic & instructions and we can all make them too, wear them everytime we go in, now that's RIGHT up my weird alley!!

[Desperate1 1]

Gotta get ready for tomorrow.
