apologies to the board

I just wanted the WHOLE board to know how SORRY I am for upsetting kimberwig65.
 In a post titled "UH-OH" I replied very passionately and obviously offended her.
(i probably offended more then just her)
She stated she would not be back on this board because me. That was never my intent.

If everyone would instant message her and tell her how much you all love her that would be fabulous!! I want to make sure she goes off to surgey knowing how much eveyone here...yes me included...want her to do well!

I just wanted to take the time to tell everyone that i am SORRY.

GOOD LUCK KIMBERWIG65 on your WLS this Monday.


(((HUGS)))


 

Apology accepted and hopefully she will be back.  We all need each other for support!

By this time next year we will be a bunch of VERY healthy people celebrating the arrival of 2010!

Hey Erin

Thanks!
2009 is going to be our best year yet!

I think your response to UH OH just showed how compassionate and caring you are.
Emily

Thanks Emily!!

BTW...I JUST LOVE YOUR PICTURE!!

I think it is a terrible picture, but it is the only "current" photo I have. I am not photogenic at all.

I was not offended by your post and it did in fact help me. I have been struggling so hard with this liquid diet and everything you said made so much sense that I was like "duh!! Were you really thinking of cheating and eating something???" So, while I'm sorry she was very upset about what you said, I'm glad you said it. I have not cheated on my liquid diet and your comment about if you can't get through this liquid diet, then you're not ready for surgery really is sticking with me and is helping me to be stronger then I've ever been in the past when it comes to say no to food.

You slapped me upside the head when I needed it, so I say, thank you for being brutally honest.

Awww...thanks sweetie.
I have never ever been assertive and i am differently non-confronting.
I hate to make waves and i really hate to upset anyone.

I know we have all worked sooooo hard to get here.
I would be sooo devastated if i got to the hospital the day of my surgery and they said...
"uh u cheated...yeah well then never mind" LOL

I am on day 7 of my wonderful liquid diet. Everything i drink just goes right through me.
(and of course its at the worst time possible..not that there really is ever a good time to have diarrhea..LOL) 
I'm not Hungary anymore...my tummy is fine and liquid fills me up. Its my HEAD that says.."hey..its Thursday..eat some pizza..Hey its Sunday Morning..lets go to home town buffet...hey...you passed 3 MacDonald's on the way home from work..why didn't you stop and get your morning sausage/egg/cheese biscuits...don't worry you will pass 2 more on the way to drop off the kids at school...you still have a chance!!" LOL..yes my head actually tells me that!

You know...i read every ones replies to "uh-oh" and thought..."damn it...I'm going to have something too!" i have lost 28pounds since Sept when i first saw my surgeon and he said i needed to lose 7pounds. So technically i have lost 4 times the amount that i was suppose to.
My husband said this morning that I should go with him to Home town buffet because i have been so good that i DESERVED to have a treat. Oh brother...i DESERVE a TREAT?? I deserve to be true to myself and i have got to stop thinking of food as a TREAT. Its got to stop being my entertainment and my security blanket and my best friend. I have got to start seeing it as just nourishment. I had no idea until i got on this liquid diet how much my life revolved around food. everything from the way i would drive home from work to the way i would choose which side of town i wanted to run my Eran's...i decided how to run my life based on what fast food place i would drive by. UGHHHHH! Even planing my daughters birthday party...i couldn't get my focus off what i would make and what kinds of snacks we would have. I didn't even realize it until my daughter piped up and said she wanted to have more games this year at her party....games at a party..what?? LOL  no, a party is all about the food!!! LOL 

My body is doing well on liquids...my head not so much. I am so glad i have this 2 weeks to get through the withdrawals from carbs and to wrestle around with my head about not eating. At least this way i know going into surgery that i CAN do this...I WANT to do this and i DESERVE to do this.

Brutally honest has never been my thing...but damn it..this is important!!
Thanks so much for not being upset with me!

LOVE U GUYS!
(((HUGS)))





 

I agree this has really been a head thing.  But if there is one thing I know I deserve as well it is not to be fat. 

Thanks, too for the strong words of encouragement to stick to the diet.  I , too was at my breaking point, and am stronger because of what you said.

Hugs,

Deb

Hi Deb...

Thanks sweetie.
This has been a real learning experience for me as i am sure it has been for everyone else;
I believe they call it "head hunger" and boy ain't that that truth!!

Hang in there Deb...WE are more then 1/2 way there until OUR day!!

Great BIG (((HUGS)))
