Frustr8

Gosh Megg C I sure hope you are feeling and doing better. Hospitals can be nice when you're sick but they are never as nice as home, hope you're going home soon! But please keep us updated on how you're doing.

Wellesse liquid calcium citrate, I get mine at Wal-Mart, costs less than $6. Have since before my RnY surgery last September. Tastes like orange push-up sherbet to me.

WTF, that is strange, have you had any more fluid accumulate that way? Certainly not an every day occurance, is it 😱?

I have one that does irritate me, and I'm sure someone will. bawl me out, but I find all this signing disruptive. Often I am watching a winter commentary, at my age you do still hear but sometimes your mis-interprets what you actually heard So there I am straining to hear what the official is saying, and over to the right,and sometimes it's right in front of the official and here's this ding - a- ling flopping his arms up and down like a fat pelican who can't get off the ground or gyrating like he's touched live electric wires, Either I turn on the closed captioning which peeves Tomkitten or I j7st stop looking and listen only,to the sound. Recently there was a lady singing quite beautifully, really enjoying her presentation, and who should show up but Hector-amos Flopmeyer, bouncing and flippery-flopping all over the place. Dayum,please go back and sit down please! 👈👷👉🙌

I always waited for someone else to give me permission, the person I should have asked was ME, didn't realize how incredibly STRONG I REALLY AM!

But it has got to turn around and get better! Brand New Month, Brand new challenges, but YOU can meet them and win the War!

So sorry this freaky thing happened, I believe this is an honor you surely didn't seek. Come to think of it, I didn't ask for my PICC line either, but glad yours got fixed quicker, that's a Scary Mary - type thing for sure! Heal and get better please?😥💦😪

I can answer your visual problem, SCOPALAMINE it is notorious for just that, told my Doctor not to give me any, haven't had it for years, last time I swung Bipolar and wanted to kill myself, was going to jump out of a 6th floor window. Yeah weird but TRUE! I'm just ducky🐦 as long as I don't have THAT!

A marked cup with ounces marked, preferredly see through, so you can keep track of intake. BABY Spoons, small pkates, small bowls, I started believe it or not drinking liquids from a shot glass, don't even drink, left over from Late Husband. Gummies aren't too good, most don't recommend, first ingredients concentrated fruit juice, sugar or High Fructose Corn Syrup aka as Evil Carbohydrates. That's like shooting your toes off because the cowboy boots don't fit, not a brilliant idea!😧

Well done @ binfinite, your last one should be perfect just convince them you understand what a big step bariatric surgery is, you have been made of all the pitfalls, all the things that might go wrong, this is still your desire and you have your emotional support in place, and things will be as smooth as a ripe avocado. Forward my darlin' , you're really entering the Final Countdown!👈😝👉

And I am just the opposite, loved it prior to surgery, Precious hates it now, every time I have tried it, up it comes, so now I dread it.

It doesn't matter how long something takes as long as one Does not stop.

Yeah they took my Lasix and Potassium Chloride away because I am too much an dehyration risk. Made me stop Vitamins A and D but I'm back on D again and had to start Ferrocite, couldn't take over counter ones, those are Sulfate and RnYs don't have enough acid to use them so Ferrocite is a Fumerate salt of iron.

Cushings is not a fun thing to have. President John Kennedy was afflicted with it, Nobody realized how it affected him at the time. @ipixie, you do have my prayers, I always pray for others, especially my Bari- friends and I do count you as one. Your troubles are more serious that me and my PICC line for nutrition, I know my doctors are gonna make ME better, but yours are still an unknown quantity, I'd hug you if I were there, try to make you feel better.

An excellent answer, but @ paddyski thars what you usually do give. You're one of my favorites on here!

Didn't you feel like the world's largest 3 m9nth old? BUT,glad you had someone to help out, it continues sometimes to remain a learning process as time goes by.

If that is working fornyou, then More Power to you. We all have to find out what our new redesigned tummies will allow and disallow, and everyone is a little different. I loathe room temprsture plain water yet another girl says that's all her but will accept.

Woke up this AM with a dry sore throat, put Uncle Snuffly the C Pap back on, and I do feel more relaxed and can breathe better. Doesn't matter if I look like a fat Spacewoman, I do think I feel better now!

Slow down, cut everything in small,pieces, don't over load your spoon or fork and slow down ! Nobody,is going to take your food away from you, but I used to bolt my food like I thought they were and I'm an only child, I ate like I had 6 little brothers trying to steal my chicken drumstick, hard learning to retrain ME.

Well Debbie it's your BIG DAY, what time are you due at your facility? I remember my Own Wonder Wednesday 5 months ago and now it is January 31st, your Terrific Thursday, may everything go smoothly. Update us as surgery is done and we will,celebrate with YOu! GOD Bless Sweetheart# !😝🏆😝

Wowsers this makes my urping up RnY pouch minor league in comparison, I hope you've found an answer in this new surgeon and he can do the magic to make you All Better. Prayers being sent on your behalf, please do keep us all updated, you have had a real struggle there!

And they will try to hide their embarrassment by asking Did you cut your Hair or Is that a different outfit? They aren't quite sure what to ask you, I was dumb enough to ask a friend Do you have Cancer? Nope just a sleeve and she had lost over 25 pounds. Even when heavier she always dressed well, nut there sure wasn't as much of her as the last time I saw here. Still feel stupid asking though.

May this time be the winning time in your life, just about 6 weeks to finish readying yourself for this life change. You probably feel excited but a little anxious, hang with us, we'll try to help you beat the collywobbles in the pit of your stomach!😝

Well congratulations on having surgery, being dismissed so quickly which means you're recovering well. Now you will be starting a new phase of l8fe, may everything work well for you.

I still use medicine cups, try to sip down 2 oz every 15 minutes, that makes 8,oz an hour, do that for 8 hours and you have your 64 oz in fairly easily. 😝
