Well husband's can be like that. Had one of them for 44 years.Hmm let's see in his defense:
I tell her she looks nice, she'll counter "Don't I Always?"
I tell her I like the way she looks slimmer, she'll say "Didn't you love me beforehand?"
I say is that new? She'll say" Yes but don't start saying I spent too much money."
I say Looks similar to her other clothes She'll say "Now what is wrong with my style? You always liked it before. "
I say I'm proud of you losing weight She'll say "You weren't proud of me before? What a crappy thing to say."
Guess I'll just sit here in the chair and say "Nice Honey or Mnff "when she asks anything. That way I'm safe!

Turned to the Olympic Channel, what should greet me? Curling! Maybe I should grab a broom and join them? The closing ceremonies are tomorrow and I'll have to find something else to kvetch about!

How about when you do manage to sit in a almost too small chair, you get back up and it makes an embarrassing sucky noise. Happened to me more than once with a plastic one.

Put on your chaps and spurs, you're ready to,be in the Bariatrics Rodeo. I'm envious, my date hasn't come yet, you're gonna be all done and be a veteran before I get in the starting gate. Ah but my day will come, I'm holding on to that belief, surely nothing can somebody who wants it as bad as I do. My journey has been convouluted but I'm staying the course. Let me know how things go with you, okay?

Hmm ***let me take a moment for introspection. My fat was a protective cocoon, an invisabity cloak (we all know fat people are invisible to the average person) a warm blanket that kept me safe and protected from those that would hurt me. I was insulated and isolated. But a new spring is coming, I can peel off the layer of restrictive flesh from my body. I'll dance in the sunlight of good health. It may be a struggle, it may take awhile, but the trade-off for me is more than worth it. And I suspect I won't miss it at all.

Might also depend on your age and the amount of stomach scarring your band left. I would guess the sleeve would be it based,on what you said. But that will be up to you and your surgeon. If I were your surgeon and of course I'm not, I would go,in with the plan to do a sleeve unless I would have to convert to some sort of bypass. I myself will be a Rn Y as it will match my needs better. It will,truly be up to the 2 of you, study up on both procedures, watch them both on You Tube, talk,it out with your surgeon, both are good surgeries. Each has their limitations but you truly want what is best for you and your future life. Good,luck with your decision.

Still healthier than 298, you've lost a high school cheerleader already. Isn't it nice to not drag her around with you? You're better than you were before, keep your diet and fluids smooth, don't slack off with exercise and you will be fine. Weight loss can be bumpy at times.

Update :::I found 3 other programs in my area. Made application to all 3. #3 is in my own town, I would have,to switch to a VSG as they don't yet do RnY. Not certain why but I can't have consult with the surgeon or her immediate staff until April 10, she is a general surgeon -only does bariatric consult Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoons. That program is starting, been up since Thanksgiving 2017. The other 2 are in Columbus, one has informational seminar March 9th, the other March 10th. I'm leaning right now towards the March 9th one but I do want to make sure it is a good fit and if I commit to them --will they commit to me? It is a two-way street, I am weary of. sublimating my will to someone else, for you don't win love or respect that way. I am a little wary after my last experience. I am reminded of a Bible verse addressed to Jesus " are you he whom we seek or shall we look for another?" And thats how kakatlady's world turns today. I still value any feedback any of you may have, still trying to make sense of what happened. P.s. Both #1and #2 have Center of Excellence accreditation, program#3 does not. Also since insurance picked up cost of 1st set of testing would they pay a 2nd set or should I hope all records transfer? This is a game I never planned to play!

I hope I'm just strong as you were post-surgery. This may sound silly but since I'm older than the average bear, as Yogi Bear would say. I want to prove to everyone I can handle anything they throw my way. Maybe it's vanity but that's how I am. Greatful my name isn't that generic, there's definitely only one like me.

@ Jersey Jules and @ Kristin pasley you both are phenomenal. I am so inspired by both of you. I've even overweight for years and do carry tummy weight so high likelihood I'll have a panni, but you know what? better a panni and alive then lying in a casket cause my weight done me in. Maybe 6 weeks until my RnY so then I'll have my tool for change. Wish me well folks.

You can't put a frame on time, it's like organizing a drill team of earthworms, very fruitless and frustrating. Instead try to face the remaining time until June with a cheerful frame of mind. Get your fluids in, don't forget to also to get adequate Protein and exercise. Exercise doesn't have be a fancy schmansy gym it can be something as simple as making laps --walking inside or outside your house. Smile it will make you look prettier and the confidence will make you fun to be around. You've done a lot and you're going to do even more great things. There are no boundaries unless you impose them on yourself. God Bless

Never had chili powdered ones, did have barbeque ones. Crunchy and not too bad. Always wondered if I had natural,teeth if the crunchy hopper part would get stuck between them.

Shame there isn't a bariatric buffet for us. You,could be issued a disposable teeny,tiny spoon, small plate with curved sides, a tablespoon,and a 1/4 cup measure. I'd call it Babe's Bariteria. Babes cause sometimes in the journey we feel like sitting down and crying. Bariteria well why not for what it is. We could even have Protein clears and shakes in a big bowl,of ice for the early inductees and,pre surgs.What do all you think?

Your story inspires me to keep on toward surgery and the life thereafter. Thanks for posting.

Yeah but you' d have a fighting chance of running, at my still size all I could do is knock him to the ground and sit on him until the Sheriff came. And if he's a perv he might enjoy it.
