Rough to do when you have a sore tum-tum. Use pillows and position yourself the best you can. And say Every Day Every Way I'm getting Better and Better. And you will, you've been through a lot with surgery, makes a dent in your physical and emotional strength but you will make it through to the other side.

Right now I'm in limbo, hoping a different program will accept me after my last week disappointment. I'm trying not to back-slide back into poor diet choices. Do not want to regain those pesky pounds I've lost. I figure anyone can commit to 7 days at a time. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for this, sweet Lord. I was afraid my biscuit(as they call it on Honey Boo Boo) was going to become 2 tired pieces of liver.

Back in my youth, yeah I do remember back then ,my Mama made a little item called No Bake Cookies. It had oatmeal, Peanut Butter and butter and cocoa in a hot sugary base, dropped on a buttered cookie sheet and left to cool. Oh I loved them little critters and was known to Filch,them before they,cooled out. Only took 4 or 5 and then I'd be in the bathroom crying,because they went right through me. She might as well used exlax instead of cocoa from the misery I went through. Did I learn my lesson? Well not too good, I thought maybe it was a bad batch so I had to inspect them a few more times before it sunk n it. Now 1. I'm allergic to chocolate and 2, it would be the last thing needed on a bariatric diet but I remember it well. PS cooked oatmeal also has a laxative effect.

Goody droseman, it is finally going to happen for you. I am so so happy, you've been tested and tried but it is going,to work out. Please keep us updated. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Your partner should be proud and support you in this and I believe when she sees how much you are committed to doing this for your health and family she'll get,on board. I'm 72, don't stay heavy as long as I did. It takes a terrible toll on your body. You say your parents are pushing you, couldn't you also believe they are trying an intervention? Your mother doesn't want her baby to suffer with this weight, she's saying learn before it's too late. I buried a son at 31, not from weight, something totally different, but it is one of the hardest things in life to stand next to your child's grave and wonder if you could have done something different that could have saved them. Honey, she DOES NOT want you to DIE! Please have the surgery and live for yourself as well as them, Shoot I'm crying as I write this. Your life will be much better, you'll be healthier and most important you'll be alive. Please for all of us, I want to watch you succeed in your journey, cause I beleve in you and I know you CAN do it. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck on your journey, you have come so far already, I'm still a 3fer hoping for 2niceland and dreaming of onederland. My goal,that I've planned? 175 or a 15/16. will it happen? Only with surgery and then some serious dietary labor. Can it happen? It is my belief it can and I'll use every bit of my will, all the breath in my body and all the strength I can summon until it happens or I die in the attempt which at 72 Could occur. This I swear on a jug of whey Protein and a case of Muscle Milk, so help me Bariatric Pal.!!! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah as I move along toward my surgery time( and yeah it's going to happen if I have anything to say about it) old resentments are popping up. Last week I received notice from surgeon's office that they no longer wished to perform my surgery. Mentally I harken back to the family members who told me I deserved nothing good because I was flawed and unworthy. Its hard to go forward when somebody who supposedly loves you had said such a thing. I even had a cousin who said I didn't deserve to live. I'm mildly on the autism spectrum, a very literal person, I actually stayed away from that person for fear he would kill me, & gain some praise for ridding the world of an obnoxious bug like me. Yeah I know better now but I was probably 8 or 9 years old then. I have sympathy for others with ADHD and other mental difficulties, you see I'm really something denied during my childhood, a female Aspie. When I grew up only boys were allowed to be autistic, I remember overhearing a so-called professional tell my parents" Its a shame about your daughter, if she was male I'd say ADHD or autism but of course only boys get that" the 70+ year old me can rise up and say "what am I, chopped liver?" but the baby me went and sat in the corner, rocking back and forth to self- soothe. As I grew older I learned better and more respected ways to pass off anxiety, I rocked in chairs,walked a lot and tried to not show the world, a world I totally did not understand , how hurt i was. And I ate, at first until I got sick, but as my stomach stretched I could eat more, did it truly satisfy me?. Nope but I thought I could control it, years later I realize it just controlled me. Now the stress of preparing is bringing it all to a head, I'm apprehensive to tell a psych this for fear I'll be rated as unstable, truly I feel the waiting is giving me unworthiness flashbacks, I want to move forward, felt everything was falling in place;, I had done the right things at the right time, -for the right reasons in the right place,- I was nearly at the goal to have it obscured by a group I had put my faith in. I will rise above this, I know I can but I weary from the struggle. I go early in March to petition another bariatric program to accept me and perform the surgery my body and emotions need. Will I be deemed worthy or was my paternal cousin right? Am I flawed, undeserving and unworthy? Only time and the will of a new surgeon will give me an answer. In the meantime I live in a painful body, every joint is sore from carrying this excess weight but I cannot and will not give up and die as this body wears out more. This can be the dawn of a new and better day. Please Baribrothers and sisters support me in this! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Kathy,use your little pinkies instead of a cold chisel when you text. You're getting in more trouble than Donald Trump and his big bad mouth. What are we gonna do with you?

Betcha that lady had other things going on. I could understand being,a little pale, we're, in the Northern Hemisphere it's winter and a lot,of us aren't getting much sunlight. Tired, well you're recovering from major surgery, a great stressor on your body. I'll probably will have both of these but I intend to have a big sh**eating grin on my face and,i bet nobody will notice those 2 things. Looking forward to the day my boxer waist,pants fall down to the floor. And I'll wear t-shirts without visible globs and lumps,showing above and below my bra line. Shoot I might even get some new bras to,replace the tired stretched out ones I have now. I'm going to be strong and fit enough to compete in the Senior Olympics if not the regular one. Maybe they were treating that super thin lady for anorexia but I'm willing to bet she's not a post-sleever. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Somebody else said they mixed cottage cheese and a small spoonful of sugar free strawberry jelly or jam, made them think of strawberry cheesecake, come to think of it I have some sugar free blackberry from Smuckers, bet that might also be good. They may even make a blueberry and a red raspberry, I'm pretty sure of the red raspberry. Walmart even has house brand sf jelly, maybe I've given myself a good idea.
