I am initiated!

lol yep it's true...stop the presses for a new headline. "Woman barfs cottage cheese in front of construction workers on Old Baltimore Pike!" Film at 11 I had my appointment with the nutritionist at PMRI today at noon, soooo I invited my mom to go with me and suggested we leave early and visit her sister while we were up that way and go to TJ's etc etc. She picked me up around 7:30 this morning and I was running a bit late. I grabbed my paperwork and was working on some cottage cheese for breakfast at the same time. WELL...boy did I learn what happens when you eat too quickly! LOL I got in the car and felt kinda burpy, we drove for maybe 5 minutes and I said pull over..NOW! lol I wish I would have had a bag or something with me because mom has a nice car Anyway, she swings around the corner and pulls off to the side, I fling open my door and lean out and blubuuurp...up it comes. ( blubuuurp is a technical term, don't try to use it ) 2 blobs of cottage cheese land on the side of the road, and it felt really odd, not at all like pre-op cookie tossage. I look up and there are about 5 construction workers over to the side...lol they got a floor show with their morning coffee. I felt instantly better and we were on our way. Just thought I'd share At any rate, the nutritionist was very impressed with my notebook and record keeping and asked to copy my menus that I used during puree stage to help with other clients. I said yes, I will gladly share. My diabetic numbers were awesome too, I now in the range of a non diabetic on a consistant basis. She was very pleased with this also as she is also a CDE as well as a regular nutritionist ( Certified Diabetic Educator ) I am down 30 pounds and feelin' fine! Hope your day was a good one too. Linda

Hey Linda, I am signing you up for the next star search, because you are the next Steve Harvey!!!! You had me rolling on the floor, (not really) because I would have never got up. I am glad you are doing well! Take care, and get ready for Hollywood! Dana

Ohhhhh...I remember THAT initiation day! Welcome to the club....lol. Hope all is going well with you, Linda. (((hugs))) -Karen

Hi Linda, Thanks for making us laugh your just too funny. Also, congrats on losing 30 lbs, you go girl! Hope to see you at the meeting on Saturday. (hugs) Patti C

Linda, Welcome to the wonderful world of what I call foaming. Dumping is such a negative term. I think that blubuuurp is actually the Angolian word for foaming. Maybe the two of us should market these new ways of getting sic****ep a plastic grocery bag in the car now for emergencies. Your trap is my trap, I eat too fast. My number one problem. Just don't enjoy spending 1/2 hour eating or drinking. Your actually lucky because it sounds like it happened fairly quickly. I've waited four and five hours for Better Living Through Chemistry to happen. Keep your sense of humor for us. Your bud, Rob

Ok Linda, The old cottage cheese gotcha. You could have made it more interesting. Cottage cheese is so boring. Something a little colorfull would have made the construction workers day. You should have told them that you were suffering from morning sickness. They would have felt sorry for you then. WoW!! 30 lbs. Way to go. I'll bet you are pleased with the Diabeties readings too. Get you. The lady that hated to cook before WLS. Sharing your recipes with PMRI. I hope you asked for residuals. Keep up the awesome job. I wish I knew you were coming up to TJ's. I'd met you there, I live about a mile away. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Any chance of sharing your recipes with the non-PMRI people? Diane C.
