  1. And I pray you can lose before the ticking time bomb goes off. I had a son die of an ascending aorta aneurysm at 31, every time I hear or see the word " aneurysm" I quake inside, been 11 years on the 11th and sometimes it's like yesterday and sometimes like a nightmare you can't wake up from. Every year I send balloons to Heaven and try to volunteer somewhere to honor his memory. He was a very giving person and I was blessed to be his mother. But I would give all my tomorrows just to have him back. 💦

    No regrets?

    Never look back, you're not going that direction after all. If you don't like where you're at , move, you're not rooted like a tree.
  3. Lord deliver us all from Helga the She-Devil and all her ilk! And Hurray for private rooms where you can kick back and be YOU without worries. You may have nausea, you may have flatulence, you may even burp like a 10 year old boy, so nice not to have to apologize for your organ recitals and such.😝🌈😝

    nutrition labels: an observation

    Well may mean we were doing it wrong all these years, but now we have learned better.
  5. If you have GERD they may advise you to switch to bypass, sleeve will not cute that, in fact it usually makes it worse. Foot getting stuck could mean you have an esophageal stricture or the valve between your esophagus and stomach is a little wookey, might be another strike against a sleeve. But your doctor will know more of your particular case than I do. Not a doctor, not a nurse. just another bariatric journeyer on her own trek.

    January 21, 2019 Surgery Date

    May be a reaction to the anesthesia they used or hormones starting to release from your fat as you go into ketosis. Probably looks worse than it is!
  7. Very nice to meet you on here even if you're in Michigan and I'm a Buckeye, except for the last Saturday in November I Love Everybody!

    Effects of Nutrient Deficiency on Skin

    Don't take anything dairy with the Doxycycline, it bonds together with it, forms an insoluble salt and you just poop it out. You need it to work not be a stool assistant.💩

    Quotes & Inspiration

    You don't have to see the whole staircase, you just have to see the first step. Martin Luther King
  10. A wise person said; It will take 4 weeks for you to notice a change it will take 8 weeks for your friends to notice a change It will take 12 weeks for the outside world to notice a change But it takes only one day to believe in yourself enough to commit to surgery and weight loss. And that is the most important time frame, to realize you love you enough to grant yourself this gift of health and a future.🌈
  11. And his practice diminishing in size and his profits declining may be the Wake-up call that couldn't get through his fat head to tell him anything. Be a better Nurse Practioner than he is a Doctor, that is the best type of revenge after all .

    Well neither of these are gonna stop a clock from running so if they resemble these proxies, they are pretty pleasant to gaze on.

    Did you drink your water today?!?!

    Went and made me my bari-cup up with one half Minute Maid 15 lemonade and one-half mandarin orange Nestle Splash flavored water which is no calorie, should cut it down to 7.5 calories per 8 oz, that's unbeatable on a galloping 🐎. One of my weird relatives saying , never knew why she was obsessed with horses galloping, never saw her on horseback at all.

    Protein Shakes

    Use skim if you go to milk, none of us need to reload fat back in!
  15. Like your pen name, remember the hardest climbs bring the sweetest victories and the summit. is a beautiful place to be!
  16. Me either, But I have another 2 reasons than average ones. 1. My TPN satisfies 95% -100% of my nutritional needs 2. I urp up so easily it's not worth trying anything past liquids or very diluted purees. The petechiae (small pinpoint hemmorages under the skin) are finally dissipating and I am grateful for that. Saw something in "Words of Wisdom" pretty well sums it up You Ask How I Am I will say " I'm Okay" I will text "I'll be fine" But within my Heart and Soul- I am broken and need repaired. I can't complete where I should be now on my own.

    No Surgery :(

    Well I keep on keeping on. But I am learning to accept my age. I'm old enough to know better Young enough not to care Experienced enough to do things right & I realize how blessed I am to have this chance at a better life. I can't stop now, I have too many nay-sayers to prove wrong at this time. But thanks for caring enough to ask!😝

    Diarrhea

    Basically bile without food to dilute it, I have had it before myself and when my IBS tendency flares it's almost always that shade and mucousy.

    There are only 4 words in a relationship that means more than I Love You and they are " I'm here for you". Don't you wish you could go back in time? Then you would have more time to know and love him. You are an incredibly blessed woman.

    No regrets?

    Don't be nervous, Lions don't ask sheep for permission to do things, you are strong , you are sleek and barring a giant hairball, CatWoman, you will do just fine and. dandy!🐯
  21. And I know Wally World has them, last time I looked there was a display in the Pharmacy area and another in Housewares. And during Camping season in Sporting Goods. And they are not THAT expensive.🍶
  22. A thought for you You should no longer cross oceans For someone who wouldn't jump puddles for you. Stay strong, don't lose your commitment, you are going to do what needs to be done for You on February 5th. And I am proud to know you now.

    2019

    This is the year I will be stronger I will be kinder I will be unstoppable This is the year I will face all my problems This is the year I will be fierce.
  24. And also change the temperature, lukewarm almost always returns back up, warm like tea or iced and cold, but pee-warm, No No No!
  25. Going to attempt flaky tiapua or another mild fish, the rest of the things you quoted come roaring back up, even eaten slowly and well-chewed. 😧😥💦I wanna rejoin the real world but Precious Pouch has stated I AIN'T READY & I must obey or repent with my little green barfie bags. Would you believe my Bariatric Clinic has a stack by the waiting room door so we can help ourselves?
