Thomas Sonnanstine M.D. Dr. Sonnanstine seemed very self-assured that he is one of the best bariatric surgons. This is a very comforting feeling. He's very straightforward, and doesn't lead you to believe that wls will CURE your obesity. This is a lifestyle change and will require a huge commitment on your part. I was mildly discouraged when I first left the office, that this proccess isn't going to be as easy as I hoped, but I would rather discover that BEFORE surgery than after I wake up afterwards.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. I feel not like a "consumer" or like I'm just another patient coming through a revolving door. I feel respected and well cared for, and I would never hesitate to call the office with any questions I have.
I actually feel like the staff REMEMBERS me when I go in, and Taryn is a wonderful part of the staff there.

nothing really Not much to write about. Nothing is really going on.
Some days I feel like a grain of rice would fill me up, and other days I feel like just filling up a dump truck full of food and having it follow me around all day long...
Yesterday I ate two rather large bowls of Coco Pebbles (i've decided to eat chocolate CEREAL to curb my chocolate cravings insead of candy or ice cream. I gotta say, it's been pretty smart of me! You get totally full, and it's only about 240 cals (and 12 g of protein!), instead of 400 cals for snack size 3 or 4 York Pep Patties!)
ANYWAY, I got a chicken club salad today at work, and I was eating it and it was almost gone, and suddenly I was HORRIFIED that I had eaten almost a whole salad!!! That is VERY unlike me. THEN it dawned on me... I had only ordered a HALF salad!!! LOL and I still had some left over and was totally full.
Sometimes I'm still amazed at how LITTLE I can eat and still be truly totally full... It's really a wonderful thing.
Ok, I should have gone to bed about 3 hours ago, as I am babysitting two horrible children in the morning, in addition to my own horrible little monster, er... I mean... sweet wonderful two year old angel who always listens to his mommy and never EVER smears peanut butter on the computer screen...
