Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Dr K came to Cowtown! We had a good turn out - small compared to Delano - but big for us! Got to watch a video of surgery! Of course blood and gore have no effect on me - I consued a plate of food while watching - would have been nice to have had a tub of buttered popcorn! LOL! We all feel so blessed to have such a caring doctor who will come to see us! What I came away with from the meeting: Well, the surgery was a day, recoverey was 8 weeks, losing the weight was 2 years - now what? Well, Dr K had the answer - do like the rest of the world, LIVE! Eat well, exercise, take my supplements, get labs checked and go about life. Funny that I needed instruction on this. I guess there just seemed like there should be more. Maybe psychiatric therapy to deal with being a thin person? (more on this at the end) That's it, I guess my " ride " is over - I'll have one last hill - the rebound - and thats it. It has been such an intense ride it is hard to believe it is over and that this is my new normal. Almost seems too good to be true, that now, I just get to live life in this smaller body - what a concept! Now for the psycho babble.... ah, I can't even go there yet - lets just say I feel like I don't fit. As I heard years ago on the main list (before I knew what they meant) being a FFC (Former Fat Chick) is tricky business. hugs, cindy lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
