Topic: RE: life has gone to...
It's good to hear from you. I had been concerned since you hadn't posted here. Working through those head issues is kind of liberating, sort of like more weight removed from you. Good for you!

You're doing great!! You'll be there in no time.
My sage advice is: Do what the dr. told you to do
and don't try to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks for the support!!! I spent a lot of my growing up years on the river and lake there at Oologah!!! It was my dad's favorite "fishin' hole".

Topic: RE: Carnation Sugarfree Instant Breakfast
Thanks for everyone's input. I didn't get any answers at the meeting the other night. They call it support group but I would call it a informational/lecture seminar. I did meet another woman who feels the same and we are going to try and organize a real support group for this side of Oklahoma.
The office did forward my question onto the surgeons but I haven't heard an answer yet. 300-480 calories per day for two whole weeks pre-op just has to be wrong.

My doctor program does a ten day diet..which consists of 7 days with food then the last three days liquids more realistic
being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
Topic: RE: Green Smoothie
they are great ways of hiding raw cabage, spinach etc with the flavor of a fruit smoothie. I have a Vita - Mix and they are great for making all kinds of smoothies. They are a little expensive but I think all WLS patients should get one if they can afford it. It will litteral liquify almost anything you put in it, seeds and all. Try one, I bet you will like it.
When I make one at home I put cabbage, spinache, tiny bit of wheat grass with whole strawberrys, grapes bannas and sometimes I add blueberries or pineapple. You can do about anything you want though.
Topic: life has gone to...
This is a post that is a part of me that I am not wanting to share but I feel that I need to...
For years I have suffered from a complusion to do for everyone to the point of exhaustion..and then find energy to do more. I reach out and help everyone that asks and never think of what that might mean to me.
Two weeks ago my sister called telling me she needed to have surgery and that she her daughters couldnt be there to help her. I instantly told her I would be there...never once thinking what that would mean for me.
A 16 to 18 hr car ride...putting up with her husband who I dislike more than I dislike hateful people.
Havng her dog jump on me..etc.
I went to bed ...and woke up mad>>>> mad cause I went through 13 surgeries alone..she never offered to come and help me...mad that again I jumped without thinking. I knew that something was wrong with me...
So i went and saw my doctor who suggested I see a psychtrist..And praise GOD I did..The next day I was blessed to see a man who specializes in what I have OCD...Never thought or dreamed OCD would be a need to do for others...
funny thing is..I have so many OCD tendenices that I now i check myself to see what it is I am doing.
It has been the best two weeks I have had in a long time. I am learning NOT to offer help all the time..its been hard but I am doing it...I do "homework" that is suppose to make me more aware of OCD and how to stop the thinking process.
I realized that since I was 6 I have suffered from this...and that most OCD people start at or around that age...
