Three month surgiversary!

Okay-I am officially out of the Fat Chick Closet! I just started browsing thru this site and am amazed at all the real love and support you have for each other. I might be a fat chick today, but I am a skinny chick waiting to happen. Got my surgery date scheduled today thru Dr Roc's office. Lift off is June 11th at 9:30 am. I don't get to come to this site often becuase I have a busy house, but you folks are just great. I'll be counting on my sister PAM to help me thru this!! Will keep up as I can on the postings. Hope to meet some of you in Raleigh with Pam in July. Hoping I can be out and about by then-barring complications!!!

I am so glad that your surgery is the 11th.  I leave for vacation on the 13th and this way I can come the evening of your surgery to check on you!!    I love you gal !!   Just 3 more weeks and you will be on the losers bench with the rest of us.   And complications are not allowed!! Take care and love ya, Pam

I can't think of anyone I'd rather be on the bench with than you. Thanks for being my separated at birth sister! I love you..

No need to hide from us other fat chicks we are in this together. Congratulations on your surgery date. Just know we are all here for you every step of the way. I am counting on meeting you and Pam in July at Perkins you will be glad you made the trip.                                     Annie

I am looking forward to it! You guys will have to watch me sip my liquid protein while ya'll can get some scrambled eggs!! I'll be so jealous lol... Thanks for the encouragement! Debi

Hi Debi, We dont worry about what each other eats or cant eat . I think the fellowship of being with others is what helps me. I havent done scrambled eggs since August had a bad time with them. Egg beaters work better for me. Wish they had egg beaters at Perkins.                                     Annie

Do you think it was the yolks? I prefer egg beaters anyway! Lower cholesterol. I wore my one inch pin today in preparation for my liquid diet coming up. I'm trying to get my head in a good place. My husband is very supportive of me, but he has never had a weight problem and doesn't really understand the complexities of an obese person's body image and the vicious cycles you get into with food. It's great to have a whole network of people who have been there and know the story, isn't it?? Maybe if we bring our own eggbeaters, the cook will scramble some up for ya! Take care!! Debi

Good for you Debi on wearing your pin. I will be getting keychains and magnets soon with the same logo. Bringing our own egg beaters now that is a thought. Maybe I will get brave and try scrambled eggs again soon. I figure if I can munch on jerky I should be able to do eggs. Still have to chew the jerky really well. Jerly is high in protien and low in carbs. Perkins does hae wonderful vegtable beef soup I enjoy. Dont know what I would do without my soups.                                           Annie

Way to go on the weight loss Pam!!! you are doing fantastic! best of luck to you on the teeth.. I really do not like going to the dentist as I am the *root canal and crown queen* LOL way to go on your journey!!

All of my teeth except for 4 are crowns or bridges so I know what you mean.  This dang tooth already had a root canal and now there is an abcess there from some type of bacteria that got in.   Supposed to get it fixed tomorrow. Thanks, Pam
