#bariatric surgery ah

[grandgobbobarb]

Ah, cool. My insurance won't even cover the fucking drug anyway.

And I am NOT getting bariatric surgery

re: weight surgery, and harder efforts in the moving and the cooking

just in case you worried about me mentioning bariatric surgery yesterday, i just want to reassure you that i'll research the shit out of it before even trying anything.

i already messaged two of my doctor friends about it, and talked to my therapist. answers from the doctor/pharmacist friend (yes, BOTH THE SAME GUY, overachiever)-- so no red flag per say, but many side effects. answers from therapist-- "that's going to require more therapy." (as in, you have to be followed mentally too if you go that way).

So yeah, I'm not making any harsh choices for now.

I'm still walking, trying to find a way to add 4k more steps to my daily walk so i can get the 10k required. When you work from home you can't get a part of your steps done just by going to work. So it's all extra effort.

Gotta figure out how to get some sun, too. Now I'm running out the door the minute I'm done to catch some sunlight.

I bought a third yoga matt and piled it on the first two ones and finally lying down is not an excruciating pain. Put them next to my bed, in the minuscule space left in my room. Looked into some easy core exercises to start with.

(google is not kind to people who want to do slow and soft abs exercise to strengthen their core slowly, with accommodations for fat body shapes.) But I'm gonna find the ones I need and print them and stick them on my wall, so executive dysfunction doesn't get in the way of my efforts.

Gonna try a handful of them everyday, gently, and at some point i'll be able to do the dishes without my back hurting.

(good news though! apparently waking is good for the core because I surprised myself with what I could do!)

Walking still goes well. Gonna get better running shoes (the last ones are still shit). So I can try to jog. Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful? Going fast?? 😭

Hmmm. ah yeah! The Hello Fresh thing. Is wonderful when I'm feeling well, and immediately crashed when I'm a teeny bit stressed. I feel horribly guilty for the ones I lose. So, I changed from 4 recipes x 2 people to 3 recipes x4 people so I can have next day's dinner too.

Again, I'm not complaining about the boxes accumulating, we still have to move, later next year.

--

Told all I was doing to my therapist.

Her: And are you proud of your efforts?

Me: I'm so focused on doing things that I often forget to have feelings about them.

her: Yeaaah that's gonna be the entire next session.

..

Anyway, yes, I am proud of all that. I'm also tired, and annoyed that it doesn't change fast enough. Like starting to push an enormous boulder. Inertia is a powerful force of nature. Well, bitch, I'm also a powerful force of nature.

Today I played a game and that game was 

*dials insurance company* “Hello? Hey. Yeah, so the hospital says y’all are frigid bitches and this is all your fault. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, I’ll tell ‘em.”

*dials hospital* “Hello? Hey, so the insurance company says you’re a bunch of incompetent sluts. What? Ah. Okay. Yeah. I’ll let ‘em know.”

*dials insurance company* “Hi, me again. Hospital said you can suck a fart, and then they gestured to their crotch and invited you to ‘sit on it and spin.’ Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. I’ll pass that on.”

*dials hospital* “Heya, so the insurance company says they’re rubber and you’re glue. No, yeah, I hear ya. Okay. I’ll do that.”

*dials insurance company* “’Ey. Hospital says you can be as immature as you like, but this is still your fuck-up. Also, they said yo mamma’s so fat, she was referred for bariatric surgery. Yeah. Medical humor, I guess. Yup. Cool. Gotcha.”

*dials hospital* “Yo. So, the insurance company says ‘I know you are, but what am I?’”

went from “no really, between fat and chronic illness i can’t bend in a way that gets my pussy on camera” 10 days ago to “here, my shoulder fucking hurts now but i easily took this video of my vag for you” ah, the wonders of bariatric surgery

[omegarising]

weirdness.

I am getting used to having a blank space in my mouth. Phantom tooth kind of feeling. Ah, damn. Today has been super unproductive. Morning was spent in preparing the house, cleaning up nooks and corners and now I am sitting down to do some work and I am dreading the task that’s in front of me. 

Switching gears and doing a new topic is always a trying experience. In all these years, I must have written on a shit loads of different topics, paint-ball guns, bariatric surgery, shipping containers, bathroom supplies, cabinets, vanities, children’s toys, sheds, OSHA, quality control stickers, violin repair, bicycles, headphones, adult chat lines, adult contests, fetish sites, hobby guns, pet products, kitchen products, numerous technology topics, and these are some I can recall. I bet there are twenty times these that I don’t remember now. 

But every once in a while, something new comes alone and you’re stumped. You've to start again from zero. You've to do your fucking research. And there are major chances that you’ll never see that topic again. 

Life, is strange.

Mom got cake, which reminds me I’ve to bake a cake for a friend who’d once made a friendly comment that I should bake them a cake cuz once they ate one slice of a cake I’d baked and the whole group liked it. Recipe was of course yours. The fizzy orange Fanta cake. That one’s a hit.

Soon.

You ever get bad vibes from someone and you don’t know why and then they say something and you’re like “ah”

I always felt weird about Dr Mike (YouTube) and was close to unfollowing him and then in one video he said he supports bariatric surgery and then in the next he said that Ross Geller is the funniest and most relatable character on the show Friends...... “ah”
