Frustr8

I nearly lost myself trying to make happy and please others----' Now I Shall lose the others to find myself.

I never can remember which one,is for diarrhea but I THINk Linzess is for the reverse, or have I got them backwards?😧

Have you IBS-D girls had any luck with this, or does it only make things worse to live with?

So has anything gotten better for you? Hoping things are smoothing out!

I was and have been on the constipation side of things since my pre-diet , through my RnY surgery and up to now. I THINK I really would prefer loose to💩lumpiness.

Well Mousecat, I know I tease you sometimes about your " where do it go ?" bowels. but it's in love cause I am still fighting the wars too. Yesterday I suddenly realized nothing was happening #2wise. Felt like I had a tennis ball stuck, went and strained and strained, finally a ping pong-ball. Well Wel I I says to me, it's MoM time, uncle Miralax might have kept things soft behind but like Mick Jagger, " I can't get no satisfaction", the amount I took usually puts me into Don't Trust A Fart- hood, drank down extra liquids, NADA! There she sat, no Fleet Enema on the premises, so this morning I put my little non-latex gloves on, upplied some Vaseline and the tennis ball finally popped free and. behind it, sift and squishy once I released the plug. So you can't find yours, mine 💖me So Much it doesn't want to leave. I have a surgeon appointment tomorrow, didn't want to go to Columbus with a Heavy Tushie💩so let's hope I AM ALL BETTER!

Yeah me( waving for attention) & I think I do have grounds to. 4 months, probably stalled because of higher calorie count of.my TPN, woke up this AM to phone alarm going off, I don't even use it, must have been one of Tomkitten's bright ideas. He's still asleep, it didn't wake HIM up. Upper right chest pain, high surface , over top of boob, now what could THAT be? Last time I drug me to the ER I was told it was atypical costochodritis but that was even left near the sternum and I got poo pooed, couldn't even have a cardiac event if I tried. Really this today feels more like a muscle pull. Not right area for my,ulcer pain, that is right subcostal classically. Well I do have an appointment with surgeon Tuesday morning, if no better suppose I could mention it to him, he'll probably say " Not My Problem" and of course it isn't, but it's more a bother than something that will kill me. But I am having a PLOM moment, stands for 0oor Little Old Me, but I'm sure once I see sunlight I'll get up and try facing this Monday Morn. The surgery did stop the perilous weight gain, I'm not gaining any more, actually at a mid point, down more 100 pounds from High Weight but 75- 80 pounds to goal, still on token liquids and TPN for nutrition and to maintain my life and let my beleagured GI system heal. But Marching forward to Good Health?, nope, Don't Think So!

Well I figured with as much studying I had done, and all the time I had waited that my recovery was going to be picture- perfect, thought Nothing would go wrong.Surprise Surprise Surprise, I became a statistic to the things that could go wrong, didn't I? But even if my story is a thriller instead of a sunshine and roses romance, it still will be okay. Just will take a little longer to reach a victorious goal but I still believe I can. Nothing good comes without a little stress, you don't get flowers without a thunderstorm and sufficent ☔ rain.

Keep us updated as your story unfolds, it's not all that long to Spring and your surgery time.

I hope your future surgery will go well and may YOUR court case go perfectly your way.

Very nice pictures Ummyasmin, you have a very nice kitchen area. I feel very blessed to know you on here,

Looking fine all of the time!

Better than one of my used-to's Strawberry ice cream, slightly softened with a ribbon of natural peanut butter stirred through. Hey it was pretty fine to me!

You deliberately rotted your GallBladder? Gosh I never guessed you had such powers, maybe I had better keep such a friend in my arsenal. I couldn't imagine her dancing around singing Serves You Right!. A bad GB is a miserable thing and she,thinks it was part of the Master Plan? Well I wonder what she is planning on you doing next? Well I am proud of you, you have had some rotten reverses and you kept on going and basically stayed sane through it all. And a lesser woman would not have. You are Mountaineer proud, Mountainer Strong 👍and I do salute you!

Looking good Janie, looking good, I'll stay the course along with you! This summer should be good for us both!

Becoming an adult was one of the dumbest things I ever did but having RnY surgery was one of the smartest. And in the long run I believe the second will benefit me more!

Bet you are chomping at the bit to get this all done and then you will start your brand new Future.

Well Good good luck to you, hope this will be just the surgery You need!

Sometimes it's 2 steps forward and 1 back, I guess nothing in life is a perfect forward motion. Oh well, I guess we have the rest of our lives to get all these things right. 😝🍝😝

Sounds like the Mini Bypass is working well for YOU! Congratulations!

Maybe the SSI that they call these meds stands for " Suddenly Sex Impossible " and SSRI for "Suddenly Sex Really Impossible", oh why don't Doctors tell us this?💊

Ballroom dancing, now there's something very neat about doing that!

Do you realize if you haven't grown up by the age of 50, you no longer are Under any obligation to?

Your new tiny tummy will rule you for quite a while, but once the two of you make your peace, you'll be grateful for her restriction. I have had a rough road myself, but I would not go back to before.

Well it is snowy outside in Ohio, not gonna March out and fall on my tookus, bust a bone or two. But Spectrum, the former Time Warner has a low impact senior citizen.exercise program , lasts about 12 minutes. Surely I can start with that, even if I don't make it to swimsuit quality I can enough that I look passable in Bermuda or Jaimaca Shorts. And that's a plus right there!
