What we are eating and what's eating us,Friday!

It's here!!!  
Dudes and dudettes...I have been on a delightful binge!!! I got some beans,I had them for breakfast,I had them for lunch,I am blowing in the wind....really,I can almost write my name with the fumes and I do not care!!! If this is offensive,remember I had a GASTRIC bypass!
Besides,if it doesn't come out there,ya gotta blow it out yer ear!!
   

If it wasn't for the dough, my choice of food today would be alright.  I had 4 slices of a medium pizza.  Ham, pineapple, and extra cheese.  I ate one slice at 6:00 PM, one at 8:30, one at 11:15 and one at 4AM.  I guess it does not hurt to do that once every two or three months.  Today it will be back to chicken.

Of course I had my omelet earlier and my cheese. 

And 15 M&Ms.

You have a great sense of balance and I see happiness in your future....smile.

Linda,

I am feeling puzzled, sad, and betrayed.  I found out that my bariatric surgeon's medical license was suspended for 90 days due to allegations of drug abuse, domestic violence (with his former live-in girlffriend) and questionable medical practices (performing gallbladder surgery on the girlfriend).  He will be on probation for 5 yrs and has to undergo counseling for the drug abuse and violence.  I never once had a clue that he was capable of anything like that, but what do I know?  He was always professional with me and these allegations mostly have to do with his private life.  Local gossip is that Dr. Argotte already had a bad rep and that's why other surgeons in this area won't take his patients on.  That's what happened to me when I called a surgeon in Memphis yesterday - as soon as they heard Argotte's name, they were finished with me.  Fortunately I found another surgeon in Memphis and made an appt. for July 29th. 

I have been so gung-ho about weight loss surgery for the past 2 years.  I feel like Dr. Argotte saved my life.  I'm not sure why I'm so discombobulated by this.  I guess I just hate change.

B: coffee protein shake
S: iced skinny latte
L: catfish, lima bean dip
S: cheese
D: steak, broccoli
S: strawberries w/ sour cream & brown sugar

Jean

Hey Jean, nice to see your pretty face in the OH magazine yesterday!

My God Jean!!!!
I can understand totally why you are upset!! Thank God you were one of the lucky ones. I know private life is just that,however he is of ill repute!!
Just shake the dust off your feet girl,and be grateful.
I am glad you found a new doctor and I hope he is as good as you deserve.

Jean, I can understand you feeling betrayed. You put your faith and your life in the hands of this man....you just found out that he is not the man that you understood him to be. You are hurt and angry and feeling very betrayed by him. Just like Linda said, pick your feet up and shake your tail feathers off and know that God put you in the direction of the new doctor. You can start all over and who knows....you might really like this new doctor. But I do know one thing, change, no matter how or why, is not easy to go through.

Sending you lots of love and big hugs to go with it..........

I'm so sorry to hear that about the doc, Jean.  He may have saved your life and he may be an excellent surgeon in spite of his personal problems.  But it's hard when people don't turn out to be who you think they are.  I'm glad you've found another surgeon.  This too shall pass.

Good Friday morning to you, our dear sweet Linda. I hope that Friday is everything that you hope and wish for it to be.

I am going in for outpatient surgery on Tuesday to take care of this navel infection. He is going to clean out the navel and take care of it. I am hoping that the last JP drain can come out but he is not sure. It all depends on how things go with the surgery. He said that it would just be to uncomfortable for me to have it done in the office. I am glad that he is one of these doctors that thinks about that. You know, I have come across some that just don't think of the comfort of the patient and goes ahead with anything.

I am going into a depression. I can feel it coming on and there isn't much that I can do about it. I am so tired of the bull crap that goes on in my life, I am ready to spit!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said about that.....now let's go on with the other stuff at hand.

I made the stuffed peppers yesterday and they ended up alright. Not the best that I ever made but not the worst that I ever tasted either. I will probably have a half of one those this afternoon for lunch.

B: oatmeal
L: half a stuffed pepper
D: something or other....who the heck knows of cares for that matter.....
S: nothing

Have a great day and know that I am sending love and hugs to you with all the prayers for you and yours going up to heaven for God to hear. Don't forget to smile and make someone happy today.

Brenda,  I'm so sorry that you are down.  It's been a real struggle lately but things will get better.  Please take some Brenda time to do what makes you smile.  I'd buy a new novel and find a peaceful place to read it. or play my favorite music and dance, or commune with nature in a beautiful garden or visit the museum.  Treat yourself like the goddess that you are because you've come a long way, baby, and you deserve it. 
I'm proud of you.  Peace and joy, CV Linda
