Topic: Bad experience
Had a really bad experience.

I went to a ob/gyn specialist and the doctor told me that I would need to lower my weight. I told him that I was considering bariatric surgery. He then proceeds to degrade and humiliate me...

1. He told me women like me are in denial about weight
2. He said that we think we eat like a bird when in actuality we eat more than the 3 average people.
3. He asked if I ever seen the looks I may get from others at the table when I sit down with my big portions.
4. He said that women like me aren't serious about losing weight otherwise obesity wouldn't exist.

WHAT AN @$$HOLE! I was almost in tears... I have never met this man before.

I told him, I keep it real. I don't sugar coat what I put in my mouth. I know I don't like to excercise. I told him he has no idea what it is to suffer from obesity as it is a disease. I am not in denial... I wear conservative clothes. I'm not an overweight girl who wears hoochie clothes and let's it all hang out...

He just smirked and winked his eye... He knew he got to me. I left.

I came home and told my husband... He was furious. He was going to call the Doctor himself. I told my husband not to go there...

It's been bothering me ever since.... I can't function because my mind eventually trails to this scene. I just pray that this memory will be forgotten and that I can forgive.

For now, all I can do is hug my husband because I can feel nothing but love when he holds me... Can't wait for bariatric surgery...

Topic: I had a great day!!!
I had one of the busiest but best days that I had in a long time. First I dropped my boys off for their football game then when to my appointment for my psyche eval. It was a great meeting and see was the first person that actually gave me a goal. I told her my goal was to be at 150 and if I get there I was going to buy my family annual passes to the water park. I was suprised when she told me. "You better buy those tickets now because I believe you will get there before next summer." She told me that I should have no problem getting to 135. I was like what? I had the biggest smile. Well after the appointment I had picture taking for my daughters soccer team, I am one of the coaches. Well guess what, I went to sign all my girls in and I see this big beach towel with my picture and my daughter on it from last year. It was so nice, they used it as a prop of things you can order with your pictures. I was only 185 last year during one of my diets and I was looking really good. Everyone was telling me what a nice picture. I was only thinking to myself that next year my picture will be better than that one. Well after the picture taking I had to run across the street and keep stats for my boys football game. It was a good game. Today was really hot so I brought 7 of the boys home with me and we went swimming in our pool. I finally got home at 5pm and I must say that I had so much fun. Now it is time to go to bed. Good Night.

Topic: RE: Bad News went to GREAT NEWS!!!
Hey, Higurl! I think of you all the time!!!!!!! But not in that stalking-kind-of-way.

Nahea... LOVE that photo for Aloha Friday! Gorgeous! Where did you find it?!! Good luck with your Psych visit. You'll do fine. Can't be any more lolo than the rest of us!

Aunty Jenn... I agree with Nahea.... ditch the cigs! There are also potential, serious surgical complication risks to smokers. I quit many years ago... It was probably the most difficult thing I ever did. I would never touch another one because if I ever got hooked again, I don't know if I'd have the strength to quit again. It's a filty, smelly habit. You're far too beautiful to ruin your skin and lungs and life over something like that. Begin your healthy life with VSG... clean house! Ok... sorry for the lecture. It's just that my heart breaks when I see people addicted as I was and only want to offer support to free yourself from it so you can live life to it's fullest. It's out of love and because I care that I say these things. ((hugs)) I promise no more lectures!

Thanks for thinking of me even if it is in the stalker way.  It always feels good when people think of me.  Well yup my day is tomorrow to see the shrink.  I hope I get the ok.  I did my final sleep test on Wed. and everything went well I hope.  Next week Friday I am going to call Dr. Fowlers office to see if I can get a surgery date.

BTW lay off the cigs.  I think you are suppose to be 2 months clean.  I am only thinking of your health you can always start after however why bother you need your lungs to work so you can excersize right.  Have a great Aloha Friday!
