Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Tina, if you want shakes to be your little secret...I hate to say it, but you might not want to mention it here. Kaiser Richmond staff read this list, from what Pam M. and maybe Robynn have said.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I have no problem telling them that I do protein shakes if they ask me. I figure if all of the big losers did protein shakes and I want to be a big loser too, then perhaps I should follow their lead. Both of my sisters did protein shakes. One is 3 years out and one is 2 years out. One is more of a success than the other. I'll follow the successful sister and do what she did. The vast majority of bariatric surgeons say that you need to do protein shakes. The vast majority can't be wrong. I'm educated and informed and doing what I think is best for my body. Maybe now I won't have to tell them because they've read this! :0 LOL! Thanks Laurie!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 That's cool Tina. I do shakes, too, but I'm not a Richmonder. Just wanted you to know that your secret might not be so secret. LOL Best, Laurie ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 It surprises me that KP staff would read this as this really is a board that is intended for KP patients. In fact, when I mentioned to Dr. Stiles just how much support I was finding with this group, she said that although she knew the Group was out there, she has never perused (sp?) it as she felt it would be inappropriate.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 They do read it but not to be spies. They never comment on what is being said, they appreciate our need to be able to post anything without fear. I think they just want to be up on what is happening and if anything DANGEROUS to our health was going on, then they could privately talk to the person. But in my two years belonging here, they have never " butted in " . In fact, I know Steve laughs at some of my antics in here like getting a tatoo and roller blading. It really gives them a glimpse into the emotional side of this surgery. Do not fear them reading the posts. > > > > > Tina, if you want shakes to be your little > > secret...I > > hate to say it, but you might not want to mention it > > here.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Pam, Please read the home page. Why would you think this group was only intended for KP patients? I am very happy that we have Kaiser staff in the group.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Colleen, Wow, I never thought that far.... Wow I'm Speechless... Is it harder than you thought? Are you happy? Well Thank you for your incite.. Big Hugs Caryl Caryl Well you can get excited and nervous still this far out because, you still have more ahead of you than you realize until you have the surgery it is all about the surgrey, mostly when and how can i get approved then you wait with baited breath until you are approved, then you battle the ten pecent weight loss and your on pins and needles up until your sugery day hoping you have not gained a fraction of an ounce......................the fear and humiliation if they were to cancel your date because you did gain a pound of whatever................Then you have the surgery and everything is new, first sips of water, swallowing pills or food, the blandness in the beginning and then there is the am i chewing right, did i get enough water in, did i space my viatmins correctly ect ect ect, It never ends the excitement and nervousness, because it is still a journey every day of your life is altered from your surgery day on..............I still wonder how it will feel to be at goal ( thirty pounds or so away) and nervous with will my nutrient levels still be ok, will i gain ? Will i really truly be a changed person about bad habits ect...................Like I said its still exciting and still gets your nerves, is this good or bad, i cant say, it just simply IS Colleen Caryl DeHerrerawww.Fantasyinart.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 That's awesome Colleen!!! How long ago did you have your surgery? How wonderful and exciting all in one... You are helping others by example also....I'm so excited but I should say Cautious because I have herd of people not doing so well. I'm ready thou and Just want to be on the other side.. My Back is hurting today and is a reminder of my weight, I also have to transfer my Mom to and from her wheel chair....I know this sounds bad but to me going to the hospital and having surgery will be like a vacation I wont have to constantly take care of someone (but myself) I'm really looking forward to my new self. Thank you for all your help.... Big Hugs Caryl Caryl Yes i am very happy i had the surgery and dont regret it for one minute, to no longer have diabetes or high cholesterol is a good good thing. Its not harder than i thought, just different in different ways, i read about what people around me have to say that are years out and people who are where i am, and people who are like where you are. Sorry I didnt mean to take your voice away LOL ! I was just giving you my thoughts.............I think you are going to enjoy the transformations as they happen to you ! Yesterday at work a patient came in with her husband, the gentleman came up to the window, i said to his wife, " hey what are you doing here, you were just here two days ago ! ( I had had to refer her to another xray facility because she exceeded the weight limit on our xray table) Her husband said " Oh my god honey, my wife told me about you and I had to come see for myself, I am so proud of you and I can not believe how different you look, you look great !" and then he said he could not believe how tiny my legs were................... His wife had drug him down there to see me I guess..................nerve wracking but exciting at the same time. They were beaming over my success....................... Totally cool !
