I didn't know that.  I thought they didn't sell full size furniture other than the kits you can get for desks etc.


Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

 OMGosh!! 
I didn't think about people reading my blog that knew the people I was writing about!!!  

Hope I didn't offend anyone!

Thanks for being my "friend."   

It's good to know Dr. Edwards is head of the program.  I honestly haven't heard anything negative about him...just that he's not Dr. Bradshaw.  

Liquids suck.  The longest I've done it is 4 days.   It was so weird...and empty feeling.  I might take you up on the soups!!  

I'll keep you posted and I HOPE to hear from my insurance tomorrow or Friday.  
Thanks so much for your response.   I really do appreciate it.

Hey Carrie!  I got your friend request..didn't think you were creepy at all. {{smiles}}  But I'm glad I saw on this message that you were from the Y.  Now I know who you are!  I read your blog posts all the way back to October.  You are hilarious.  More so probably because I know the people you're talking about.

I don't have anything negative to say about Dr. Edwards other than you don't really see much of him.  After your surgery, you just see his PA unless there is a problem, I assume.  He did a good job and kept my family updated which was important to me.  I also found that he was more lax about the requirements that I expected.  I guess you found that out too!  I didn't even have to do the tube down your throat test.

I'm sure you're going to do just fine.  Dr. Edwards is the head of the program now so he must be doing something right!  Good luck with your liquid diet.  That was the hardest part for me.  At least until I found out that I could eat pureed soups that met certain nutritional requirements.  I have a few cans left if you're interested.  Of course, there is a new nutritionist now so she might veto the soups.
Loving my new life!  I'm ever so grateful...

 Hey Jennifer!
I was looking for info on Dr. Edwards too.
But now you're DONE and so sucessful!  

I have a "friend" who had Dr. Bradshaw and she's getting another friend upset because she says I should have chosen Bradshaw.  I don't know exactly what she thinks she knows...like maybe Dr. Edwards has devil horns hidden in his head.  IDK.

How was your experience?  I met him yesterday and he was SO NICE!   I feel confident in my decision, but wish this "Team Bradshaw" person would lay off.

Thanks for anything positive you can say about Edwards!

No sorry do not have any x-tra furniture. You can check thrift stores. i have seen some good stuff in some of my journeys to those places (Do NOT buy mattresses off them though).

My day was so screwy, I ened up putting in almost 14+ hours of sleep. One of those times where my body just will not stay awake, no matter what I do. I am not working at this time so I am not worried about being fired or anything. It just bothers me that my chubby slef is going through these episodes where it wants to sleep all the time. And I feel tired now , after having gotten all that sleep.)

So for the rest of today and until I feel tired tonight, I am going to go through stuff here at home and hopefully find new homes for it or just haul it to goodwill IF it isnt too messed up for my taste. If it is messed up then to the garbage it goes . You have probably heard the saying: Do not donate or give away if it isn't something you wouldn't buy yourself.
