I'm widowed and have the reverse; got a MMS a while back,of someone I knew in a Speedo, do you know what the average guy my age(72) looks like one of those? Bow legged and white fur everywhere, suppose he thought I'd be greatful he was still,above ground. Didn't like him that well when we were young, why now? The nice gals are still out there and decency trumps anything else. Now I'll get from behind my preaching pulpit and wish you good luck,in your journey.

A wise person once said " one can do Anything for 6 weeks at a time" but I'm not certain it was a bariatric patient. Don't know if I would chew my own arm off but don't come around me dressed like an ice cream cone or slice of steak with grilled Portobello mushrooms.

I went back into the office after 8 days, but have a desk job and can work at home if I want. The hardest part I found was remembering to get the liquids in. I think 2 weeks is good for non physical jobs

Kjallen firstly so sorry for your loss. I can understand your hubbys fears but when everything settles down I hope you consider going to forward with your own surgery. Your MIL would not want you to sacrifice your own plans for a better future health. I am a MIL myself and I know she,loved you and your plans for the future. In the meantime show a,lot of love to,hubby and I'll pray he comes around too.

My psych had 233 questions on 3 sheets of paper- some seemed repetative- some silly "are you afraid of heights?" are they afraid I'll fall off the gurney? Anyway i passed with flying colors so that's one,more of the pre- needed done. Mine was a female about 25 to 35 minutes.

I would think most would prefer discrete, I have nibby neighbors in my neighborhood who would just love to know my business.

Hey guys do you suppose I might be part Bassett Hound? Know I'm tired of being fat and droopy so I'm going to go through with my surgery. How about you?

oh wow -that's some pressure but thankfully it worked out! I am on liquids only for the 2 weeks post (have until the 21st) and I'm already getting a bit stir crazy on it and it's after I'm sleeved...god bless these people who had to do it pre-op!

Had my first post op visit today! Got some IV fluids for dehydration...funny how quickly that sneaks up on you. Looking back, I've been really nauseous so I haven't been drinking like I should. I was told part of my nausea could be from dehydration. It's a vicious cycle. Don't drink enough because I'm nauseous and nauseous because I don't drink enough. I'm feeling much better now after the fluids. Also, my diet was advanced! I'm now in full liquids for a couple weeks. I had Tomato Soup tonight and it was delicious.
Hope you all are healing well and for those of you in the home stretch, good luck!

Hey guys I've heard my surgeon doesn't require routinely a long pre op liquid diet. Just clean balanced smaller portions. Wants you healthy instead of frustrated weak and angry. We'll see how that goes, since my BMI is still 45ish, I can't help but feel it sounds too good to be true.

So when was your birthday? I'm a holiday baby( December 26) this year I didn't overindulge in cake cause no one bought me one and ,l actually lost my taste for sweets, think my body is wanting my surgery as much as my mind does. My son bought me Cookies and they got old and stale,and,i pitched them out other day. What tastes good to me are vegetables, really like microwaved sweet potatoes and broccoli steamed.

I am still pre surg but let me share mine.
1 God would-be,mad with me since I was asking to have,my intestines rerouted.
2. I'm too old for surgery; people will think I'm silly or vain for asking.
Strangely I'm not worried of the surgery , more scared the surgeon will back out instead of me.
4. Running away from the surgical team-nope with 2 artificial knees I couldn't outrun them.
5. I'm a bad girl, I don't deserve surgery, well why don't I? I have fought the different diet wars and my fat cells always won.
You want a different excuse? I was normal sized at,birth 7lb12oz but, my mother's,doctor ordered her to feed,me an 8oz bottle of Carnation milk after each,nursing. At 1 year I was 35 inches tall and weighed 36 pounds. Even when I was normal sized I felt fluffy not firmed,fleshed. I was a non winner in the weight wars but now I will,have,a tool,to,helpwith the healthy commitment and changes. I plan to live out my 70s and,onward. Like Reba McEntire's song. I'm a Survivor. I look forward to surgery , I trust my future surgery team to put me asleep smoothly and wake,me up gently to start my new better life. Join me on this journey,please?

72 the 26th of December, RnY coming up yet this winter. Maybe one of my surgeon's older patients but plan to be a success. Wish I had committed to this at a younger age before so much of my body wore out but I can still fight the good fight. Love reading all the BP postings, you all are so inspirational.

Happy New Year Redmaxx. Its +1 degree in Ohio and I'm watching the Rose Parade. Next summer when it's warm in the Midwest we'll forget how miserable winter can be. We will be in sundresses and shorts in a smaller size and basking in the sunlight. Then our AussieGal friend will,be having her winter instead of us. Best to you and yours.

Dear Santa you might as well forget about,me this year(oops I guess you did) at rate I've lost my taste for Cookies so,i didn't bake you anything. Would you be interested in a sugar free popsicle, Jello or broth? Be better for you, saw you were having trouble getting in and out of the sleigh and you would be able to pick,up that bag better if you weren't so out of breath. So if you have anything left in your bag a health dose of stay the course is what I need most. Your potentially smaller friend ME

I have had 2 knee replacements due to wearing out with my weight. Don't want the,hips to be next plus I'm tired of being slow moving and out of breath. And the,list goes on but soon I'll turn my life around with the help of surgery. If an old chick like me can do this journey you young'end should be a cinch. Happy New Year and much success everyone.

Fluffy Chix, gotta love you. Enjoy your posts so much. Let me tell you my statistics.
