Missing my best friend!
Sep 07, 2007
I have felt for sometime the dread that September would bring. I have a friend that tells me all the time speak what you want not what you don't want. Well I would like not to feel the pain that I am feeling right now. See a year ago sept 30,2006 I lost my very best friend. My mother. It's strange but we were so opposite I never really thought of her as my friend oonly my mother. We were very close. She lived with me for the last 15years before her death. (She spoiled me rotten)lol. I never had to cook, clean or do laundry. She helped me raise my son, and then my grandsons. She was always there to hear me whine about anything and everything. I knew that she had my back. Even though any many situations all she could do was just listen. What I would give just to have her to talk to again. It just isn't the same with the rest of my family. She knew ME, and my intentions. I know it sounds crazy but with her not here I feel alone in my battles( Oh I'm aware that the Lord is fighting them) It just I miss her presence. I knew a couple of days ago that I was feeling down (depressed) I thought I was just tried, but this is more than that. I will probably discuss it with my sister b/c she is probably feeling the same way. Her loss is still very real and seems so new to me. But I do have good news. I'm sad and depressed and for the 1st time in my life I'm not using food to comfort me. In fact the thought of food makes me nauseated. Thank you all for letting me vent. I'll probably spend the next 2 days in bed. Everyone that still have your mother. Remenmber she is a precious jewel., and treat her just like that. I can remember the night before she died with tears in my eyes, I whispered into her ear" You are the love of my life" and meant every word of it. Thanks for being here.
What a difference a day makes

Yesterday I was literally in tears over the fact that I missed not 1 but 2 doctor appointments. I was to see my pcp to get my clearance letter and my 5yr weight history. and my Consultation with Dr. Price (Bariatric). I called the office this morning and the fit me in. I see the Psychologist on 4Oct07. Nutrition and Physiologist on 13Sep07. And they're in the process of scheduling my sleep study. So I have quite a bit of homework to do. But be reassured I won't let the dog eat My homework(lol). Carolyn
Moving toward the bench!

Well I'm getting closer than I've ever been before. I am affirming that I will be joing the loser's bench. So save a (tiny) space for me lol. I went to the seminar this evening. And met Dr. John Price. He seems to be very knowledgeable, and very down to earth. I think that I have decided to go with RNY surgery. It's really important to me to lose at least 75-80% of my excess weight to achieve optimal health for my age. My 1st appointment is on Aug.21. With my insurance I have to complete a 90-day Physician /Dietician/Physiologist. WL program before approval. The program with Dr.Price seem to be a one-stop deal. Everybody necessary to complete the process is under one roof. Well I finally feel a part of OH not on the side line look in The granne
New to OH

Hello, to everyone. I'm new to the site. As I went thru setting up my page it has been cathartic. Almost like coming out. This is the 1st time in my life that I have openly discussed my obesity. I use that word frequently now, it is still painful to hear, but I'm tired of being on that river De-nial. Denial is slowly taking me out of the game, and it may cause disability or death. I have no doctor,and no approval but I am claiming Lap-Band and weight reduction this day. I am hoping and praying that this site will be a resource and a inspiration in my 2nd battle to preserve my health and life. Once again hello to everyone, and my best wishes and prayers to each of you on your journey to great health and happiness.
