Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Agree with you on being sick of being fat! Just one more week. If you're that nervous ask Dr. A when you get there for something to take the edge off and maybe even a sleeping pill. I am. Alot of people do this alone. I think traveling alone will give you an opportunity to reflect on your life and what you want to do next. Not trying to be deep, just a thought. I asked one of my patients to teach me how to crochet. Just like quitting smoking, I need to replace one habit with another. My favorite time to eat is at night. Maybe I'm bored, maybe I'm sad, lonely, happy, whatever the reason that's when I eat and I was thinking, " What am I going to do instead of eat? " So Ms. C started teaching me to crochet today. I'm very fumbly-mumbly and impatient. Of course I wanted to be an expert 5 minutes after we started and move right into crocheting a hooded baby blanket with multiple colors. But there comes so much wisdom with age. Ms. C smiled at me patiently and told me I have to learn to crawl before I can walk. Someting to think about. Ginger > > Hi Ginger!! Oh I am so glad that your going to be there too! Do you no of anyone else being banded at this time?? > > I am feeling lots of anxiety right now. I think its because I have decided to do it alone. I am going to drive to the San Diego Airport from Los Angeles area and I am a creature of habit and this is totally out of my realm! I am also checking on some shuttle services to pick me up at home and take me to San Diego and then bring me back. We'll see. > > My BmI last time I checked I think was like 44!! YIKES!!! I feel absolutely lousy right now!! Not sick, just sick of being fat! > > Well I cant wait to meet you. > Tammy I. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 aw tammy sorry to hear your hubby love for the booze i know it well me ex was the same way and i need to get out of it before i lost myself completely good luck to you tammy irish <tammyntod@...> wrote: Going alone even though this is "different" for me is what I need right now.

My Husband has been sober (he is an alcoholic) for 8 years, Or was sober for 8 years and has been taking that lovely drink again after 8 years of sobriety. He left for Las Vegas on Monday to get the paperwork going for his Contractors License out there and was suppose to be home on Tuesday and hasnt been back yet. I am sure he is on a total binge right now. So I am having HUGE doubts about relocating to the party capital called Las Vegas. So need less to say I dont know if I am coming or going!!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 You know what, Tammy. I can't wait to give you such a big, loving and sympathetic hug. I'm so glad you are doing this for yourself. You've earned it! See you soon. I'm off to Sacramento in the a.m. for the birthdays and Easter. I'll check back in on Monday night.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 and from my past experience (and I do have that behind me).....words are meaningless coming from an alcoholic....with out the action to support it....The first thing he needs to do for you is to stop drinking...... I am soooooo proud out you for going ahead and taking care of YOU!!!!!!!tammy irish <tammyntod@...> wrote: Thank You Jessie.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Thank You , I think by me taking care of me right now is the best thing for myself and my kids. I need to focus my attention on myself and not him. Once I start feeling better about me (I think this will happen after my surgery) then my head will be on straight!!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Thank You Jessie! You are so sweet! The closer it gets the more anxiety Im having. You know I think its more about will everything get done at home type of anxiety than going alone to Mexico. My Husband is still mad at me for going alone but I told him today...Its a done deal! I have already bought my train tickets, told Nina and Im coming alone. But I know that I will not be alone. I will be with some fabulous people and I cant wait!!! Tammy I.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hi Toni, I will post as soon as I get home about my experience. Alot of the members have went alone and said they received the best care from the staff in Mexico. I have also heard that you are taken better care of in Mexico than you are in the states. I am still a little nervous though. I am not nervous about the surgery. Its more about me being by myself I think. I never go anywhere alone so I think this is what all my anxiety is about. Where are you coming from Toni?? I am in So. California so I dont have to go far. I am sure you have posted it but what is your surgery date?? Anyways, I will let you know. I catch a train on Wednesday!! YIPPEE!!! Tammy I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Tammy, I met you real breifly at the hospital, when me and a couple of other ladies that were banded the day before you. For the constipation, try making your fruit juice apple, and drink a full 17oz/day. That has really worked for me. Good luck.
