Thank you dreamangel1974 and creekimp, strange I feel this detachment with many foods. Tomkitten gets peeved with me, aw come on eat some with me! I asked do you realize after my surgery I WILL NOT be eating the same things as you and never in the same amounts? Don't believe until that point he had realized how profoundly my life will change. There. will be no more French toast with gooey sticky syrup, sure I might make it for him but I won't be taking part. A lot of the foods I used to eat I've already divorced myself from. In some respects I feel semi-anorexic, I don't want it, the thought of it is so repugnant it comes close to nauseating me. Is this normal or should I be talking this over with a therapist? Oh that frightens me considering my recent past, "creek" you know what I'm talking about.Maybe I should go to bed and put my worries on hold until tomorrow? Girls please give me your viewpoint on this. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Losingit2018 both my initial and the subsequent evaluations were done in a hospital setting, a very nice queen bed to sleep on, even more comfortable than my one at home. Curious the option for a home study was not offered here. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Savage Girl we all will praying for you on March 13th, I know you're savage enough to beat this, hence your name. Remember cancer doesn't play fair, if it did so many nice people wouldn't get it. Fight like a girl! [emoji558] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

The other Alberta one is Nossida, she just popped up on one the threads I was reading. I'm watching the Olympics, figure skating and bobsled, tonight. I love to watch the Netherlands speedskaters they make it look so effortless. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Aw come on Pride of the Badgers, you know better than this. It is no longer your job to eat food just so it doesn't get away from you. You are not the world's trashcan, that was one of my failings, I'm a mommy, rather than refrigerating the end of the cassarole after casserole, i ate it. Now I have a rump that won't fit through the rabbit hole, shoot it barely fits through a metal drainpipe. I wouldn't say it's head hunger you aren't even using your head to think. You are suffering from terminal boredom and unconscious engorgement. You are abusing your new tool, it's like putting it in a vise grip and pounding it with a sledge hammer. You know you know better, there isn't anyone stuffing things in your crumb cruncher but you. Put the Reese cups down, no not down your throat, child. If you were in Texas Fluffy Chix would administer a b***h slapping and I might just let her.Now up off of your rump, drink some Water or chrystal lite, you are a foodaholic and just like an alcoholic trying to reform you need to stay on that wagon, even if it's an uncomfortable haywagon.Yeah food is all around you, it's trying to seduce you back into its clutches. I live 30 miles from Dublin Ohio, the home of Wendy's. You think I don't have a barrage of commercials headed my way? Buck up Buckaroo, don't sit and feel sorry for yourself, yeah you made a mistake, wonder you didn't get sick, but you can And should vow to nor do it again. Think you want a fry? A moment on the lips, forever on your hips. Think how greasy slimy cold frenchfry grease is.Get up and clean but do some knee bends, March in place, sing Go you chicken Fat Go. You can do it, take some of that resolve that got you past your surgery, nothing to it but to do it. You're having a pity party and catering it yourself. Besides I'm wise but I haven't had my surgery yet, you've got to get mentally stable so you can mentor me! Your Buckeye friend ME Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

My bad, but maybe I'll see both towns, the hourglass isn't empty yet on this ole girl. My son says as I get older I get more country, told him I'm just getting back to my roots. Yeah I remember that massacre, seems like a lot of sorrow in your area. I keep remembering a bumper sticker I once saw " Life is fragile, handle with prayer".

The ultimate decision is yours of course, but I would listen to your doctor's advice, he has done a lot of these procedures, and he wouldn't have suggested RnY if he hadn't seen a good reason for it. A lot of times they advise sleeve for people your age but as you see from the previous person a lot of times it needs revised. Why not go with just one surgery and get it done right the first time? Study up on both procedures, you'll only have 4or5,little iddie bitty slits in your tummy no matter which one. If you have a sleeve the left one is where they pull the majority of your stomach out, you do know you lose about 3/4 of your. stomach with that procedure? If you have a bypass that's where they put the biggest gauge equipment, in either case that will be the sorest if one has to be. You'll start on a beautiful new journey toward weight loss and better health, and also a longer lifespan. It will be worth it all! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

If I don't have my surgery soon there will be enough of me to divide. I'm 5ft8in, red-headed and.now 320lb. My dream is to be 170 lbs and /or a 15/16. a long way down from a 3X but by golly I'm going to do it! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

My honor my friends , you can pay me back by sending prayers my own surgery day will come. I wanted to be one of you but it just didn't happen, maybe March, maybe April? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Use pillows or even invest in a body pillow from Wal-Mart or Target. Instead of laying flat draw one leg up and turn as much as you can. And keep telling yourself this will pass, you'll be healed soon. Like my kids Pediatrician told my friend. Few kids start Kindergarten or 1st Grade in diapers or training pants, Junior will get potty-trained. I always thought if she had convinced Junior it was his idea or that there would be a reward in big boy briefs he might have done it sooner. But I wasn't gonna get in the middle of that! Sorrow lasts but a short time but joy comes in the morning. You're approaching the dawn of good health, this is just a bump in the roadway. Keep the faith Hon it's gonna be better day by day.

Honey I would bet not. It would be full of sugar and empty calories. If you have a RnY bypass- dollars to donuts you 'll have a dumping spell, with a sleeve- you might merely vomit. And if you manage not to, you're sliding back into the bad habits that made you fat in the first place. If I were there I'd waggle my finger at you, I'm 72, I can get away with it. If Johnnie Cochran could play the race card I'm not above playing the age card. Please take the word of an old fat broad, if you have any just sniff or barely lick the spoon, no big chunks!

Probably to show you have a strong commitment to the program.? Don't necessarily agree with that, if you could do this all on your own you wouldn't be there. Ambien, hmm its potentially addictive or its one your stomach couldn't handle after stomach surgery? Otherwise doesn't make too much sense Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
