DR. BAKER EXPERIENCE!

WELL THURSDAY WAS MY FIRST MEETING WITH DR. BAKER AND HIS CREW.....I WAS SO EXCITED...I WEIGHTED IN @ 378.7 AND ADDIE TOLD ME I WAS ONLY 5FT 6 1/2 IN TALL....BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WAS RIGHT....I WANT A SECOND OPINION!...BUT ANYWAY IS IT ME...OR DOSE DR. BAKER EYES SEEM LIKE THERE LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH YOU? MY MOM COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING AT ME....I JUST KEPT SAYING "I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU"..."I CAN'T...YOU WOULD KNOW".....HE DID ASKE ME ONE QUESTION AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THIS IS WHAT I'M MENT TO DO..."WHAT WILL CHANGE ABOUT YOU AFTER THIS IS OVER," I DIDNT EVEN THINK I JUST ANSWERED, " I WILL STILL BE THE GLAMOURS DIVA YOU SEE BEFORE YOU...JUST IN A SMALLER PACKAGE."HE LIKED THAT AND  WAS VERY NICE TO ME AND CONGRADULATED ME ON THE 15 POUNDS I LOST PREVIOUS TO COMING TO MY APPOINTMENT. I DON'T START MY SHAKES UNTIL MARCH 1ST SO I'M A LITTLE NEVOUS ABOUT THAT, BUT MY FRIEND WILL DID IT....AND I I KNOW I WILL BE JUST FINE...I HAVE A GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM.... THE ONLY BAD THING WAS THAT I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED TO TELL MY MOM THAT I HAD CHANGED PROCEDURES...SO I LET ADDIE TELL HER ....SHE HAD ALL THE NEAT DIAGRAHMS AND PICTURES AND EXPLAINED THE REASON WHY I COULDNT HAVE THE LAP-BAND, DUE TO MY LUPUS. MY MOM WAS CONCERNED AT FIRST BUT DR. BAKER LOOKED AT HER WITH THOSE BIG ICE BLUE EYES AND PUT HER MIND AT EASE..... MY DAD ON THE OTHER HAD WAS JUST OUT DONE....HE LOVES ME AND WANTS ME TO BE HAPPY SO...AFTER WE TALKED TO HIM AND EXPLAINED HOW IF I DON'T DO THIS HE WONT HAVE ME MUCH LONGER....HIS ONLY COMMENT WAS THAT HE DIDNT WANT TO OUTLIVE HIS BABY...AND HE UNDERSTOOD. WELL I GOT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AND MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE SO DIFFERENT....I'M SO EXCITED...NOT ONLY AM I BEING REBORN INTO AND EVEN MORE GORGEOUS PERSON, BUT BY THE TIME 1MONTH OUT MY ADOPTION WILL BE FINAL.....WHOOOOO ....HOOOOO! GOD HAS SURE BLESSED THIS LITTLE COUNTRY GIRL!!!! I'M ON MY WAY!!!!!

Darlin' girl, you are amazing!  Your tender spirit shines through your words. I know with this amazing attitude of yours, you'll be super successful on your journey.  It sounds to me like this is really going to be a big year of positive changes in your life. Congratulations and best of luck to you. We'll all be here cheering you on. P.S.....not to be nosy, but what adoption?  Did I miss something from a previous post?

NO ACTUALLY I HAVE NEVER MENTION IT. SORRY I JUST BEEN RUNNING SO RAGGED TRYING TO GET ALL MY PAPERWORK TOGETHER FOR THIS SURGERY.  I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO ADOPT A BEAUTIFUL (JUST LIKE HER NEW MOMMIE) LITTLE 3 YEAR OLD VIBRANT (AND FULL OF ALL KINDS OF ENERGY) GIRL. RIGHT NOW SHE IS WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME 5 OUT OF 7 DAYS OF THE WEEK...IT'S SO COOL DRESSING HER UP AND BRAIDING HER HAIR....DON'T GET ME WRONG...SHE CAN NUT UP WITH THE BEST OF THEM...MATTER OF FACT SHE DID YESTERDAY IN WALMART OVER A PURSE. I WASNT EVEN MAD AT HER BECAUSE THE PURSE WAS CUTE....BUT I DID LET HER KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE.... IT STILL ISNT FINAL....BUT FROM MY LIPS TO GODS EARS...IT WILL BE SOON.... LOOK MA....I'M GOING TO BE A MOMMIE!!!!

How lucky both of you are!  I can tell you have such a kind spirit that you're going to be a wonderful mom.  And soon enough you'll have enough energy to follow that little darling everywhere she wants to take you. God bless you for taking her into your heart and home.

OH LORD.... If she is getting upset over a purse at 3 years old, just wait til she gets older.  My baby was like that and has loved shopping her whole life.  I always tell people that she could find something she couldn't live without at a hardware store! 

I thought he was kinda sexy too!!!  Doh!!

*tsk tsk* Will, you got me laughing so hard!! 

It's those big blue eyes of his.  I felt like he would know if I was lying, so I was honest to him about everything.  I don't know how he does it, but when I see him for appts, it seems so personal, he makes you feel like you are his only patient.  I feel so comfortable around him. I am glad your appt went so well.  I just love Addie to death, I met her when I had my 3 month checkup.  I was kind of sad, because one of my pet rats was home dying, and I told her all about it, and I learned that she used to have some pet rats to!  So while I waited to be seen by Dr Baker, her and I just talked about pet rats and I told her all about mine.  Sadly though, when I got home from my appt my rat had died, so when I saw her Friday I told her.  She was sad. If you need any advice or encouragement while you are doing the HMR shakes, feel free to message me.  I was on them for 4 weeks, and I found all kinds of ways to keep myself from getting bored with them.  So if you need any ideas or anything, let me know.

Thanks every one for the encourgement...I'm so happy that i joined this website...because no were else can you find people that understand your struggle like everyone here dose. I'm so excited about my surgery and my adoption. That the i'm going to sing karoke the weekend before.....No nerves because i'm just slipping into my Cacoon only to come out as and More beautiful butterfly.... Thank you all for you support...

I'm glad your appointment went so well.   I do SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO know what you mean about Dr. Baker's eyes.  They are beautiful!  I told my mom I felt like I was hypnotized when I looked at him.  He looks you right in the eye when he talks to you and I really think he could have told me to start singing the national anthem and I would have belted out "OH SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" without even thinking about it!
