omg I laughed so hard at ur post that my husband asked what I was laughing at so I read it to him and he laughed. It takes a lot to make him laugh. Lol. And ur lucky we loose electric a lot and already for over two weeks. We have our generator wired into our home to run our entire house at the flip of a switch. We did this after going over two weeks without electric one winter. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Our setup is similar. I have to manually start the generator (yank the cord), and then throw one switch to switch over the circuits we dedicated to keeping on. That's the heat, the fridge, and the freezer. We have bunches of candles and oil lamps for lights, and the aforementioned 19th century amenities for long term low energy consumption. With my new arrangement, I can leave it in the tool shed. That saves me time and work to roll it into place, and keeps it secure from generator thieves. The old arrangement had it next to the house, which is right up by the road. Nothing says "here I am!" Like a running generator in a power outage. When our girls were still here at home, they would complain about the outhouse. I told them they were welcome to use the inside toilet, but I was not hauling buckets of Water up two flights of stairs so they could pee in luxury. That was their job. we have our done to run the whole house just bc we have three young kids ages 7,11,14 so it makes it rough when no electric. But we don't turn on the internet ha ha we make them play board games with us. Ha ha. My i laws live next door and we bought them one as well. I think most people on our road have one but we live in the country and we loose it so often. And it's weird bc just in the last few months there has been four robberies in our road but most people know we are armed and my husband won't hesitate to shoot. And we lock everything up and surveillance. It seems it doesn't matter where u live it happens now. We have lived here for 22 years and have never locked car doors always left keys in our cars. ETC. Not no more!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tell myself mind over matter since my two week liquid pre op diet I have baked cakes home cooked every meal anywhere from meatloaf mashed potatoes gravy and corn to home made beef veggie Soup home made pot pie. U name it. I sit at the table with my family like tonight I ate cottage cheese while they ate they're dinner. I tell myself I was the one who decided this surgery not them and I can't punish them for it. This weekend I baked Cookies with my kids for xmas cookies just bc I'm not eating them doesn't mean it's not an important time of the year for my family. They look forward to this. Do I really want them well heck yea. But I know I want to be healthy even more. Just write a list of all the things u want to do when u loose weight this is what I do and when I crave or want the bad things I look at that list which I hang on my fridge for reminders. I have not cheated once during pre op diet or since surgery on 11/22 and I'm down 40 lbs since pre op diet. Best of luck to u and keep ur chin up it gets easier.

So I am four days postop. I feel great. I'm walking around I'm basically doing everything on my own around my house taking care of my kids. But I am really struggling to be able to get all my fluids and all my Protein and I don't feel dehydrated or anything like that I just can't seem to get it all in. The Water alone fills me up and makes me feel full. I love the feeling not being hungry though. Of course I haven't lost weight yet bc I'm swollen still instead I gained weight from all the fluids and being swollen which is to be expected Had my first bowel movement yesterday it was so wonderful. (Sad I know lol) I know my NUT said to just try my best to get in what I can!!! But like I said I feel great have slept in my bed since the day I came home. Was discharged the next day after surgery bc I did so well. Trying my best to get in what I can I don't wanna end up having to go to the hydration clinic. Anybody else experiencing the same issue post rny? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and I think I may have hit my first stall. But I'm down 40 lbs since starting my pre op diet so I can live with that. Following everything the dr said however they mentioned eating every two hours and I can't eat that much but I am getting my Protein and my fluids in and best news of all NO MORE BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS!!! I do the treadmill a half mile every day and next week I plan on moving to a mile. Any suggestions to get out of this stall. scale hasn't moved since Monday. I know it's normal though. And VETS U DONT HAVE TO CODDLE ME. TELL ME LIKE IT IS. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

And extension cord for ur phone charger so it reaches u. And most hospital mouth wash is horrible!!!! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is a side effect of synthroid as well so you may want to talk to ur endocrinologist about a different thyroid medication I have seen many patients that had to stop taking that bc of insomnia. So if you continue to have problems it may be the medication itself!! Best of luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am in eastern PA. We are in the country, enough so that we have our own little target range, but the larger towns and cities aren't that far. When I was younger, there were several close calls, and a few people were killed in the woods during hunting season. We are about midway between NYC and Philadelphia, so we get all sorts of city people in the woods. I decided it wasn't worth getting shot. And thank you for your kind words on my stories. I enjoy telling them as well as writing them down. This is one of those things that really sucks, but even as it's happening, you know it's going to be a great story someday. I have lots of things happen to me, where the best thing I can say is, "At least this will make a good story". I once had a pastor who said to me, "I believe God brings all these things into your life so you can tell the rest of us stories". I also had another friend who was a pastor who had an incident very similar to yours when we were in Florida one time. He was sitting on the beach, just about to take a bite out of his sandwich. All at once, a seagull swooped down and grabbed it right out of his hand. And he was a skinny guy who couldn't afford to missed too many sandwiches. I'm in York county PA!!! Not to far from u!!!

I was told as long as I was off pain meds for 24 hrs I drove 4 days after surgery. But ask your surgeon to be safe every surgeon is different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
