January surgeries?!
Frustr8 replied to jessicaalyssa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good Luck now, A Good Surgery in the Future!😷 -
Maybe and the compression helped your body rid it without it gathering in a large ball under your diaphragm. Sounds kinda weird, but bottom line IT WORKED!
-
Oh THAT is just terrible, to work so doggone hard and then have them wuss out on You! Sometimes you just have to HATE insurance companies, their whole philosophy is Much Money In*****Little Money Out!

A thread for when Umm Yasmin wants to add marginally relevant comments about stuff
Frustr8 replied to ummyasmin's topic in The Lounge
And if we have even one or two drops of Irish blood, we have an inate fondness for that Soft Green Isle. And I'm Irish enough my sons names were Kevin and Bryan. Kevin I sang Kevin Barry to as a song I rocked him to, poor Bryan got The Rising of The Moon. If you are familiar with neither ask your Hubs, bet he might even sing them for you! -

And Kimmie K, would you believe it? Even with my TPN, where I am on a liquid IV diet, I have my own special dietician? Her name is Kelly, we talk at a minimum, once a week, and she is very very nice and a great resource person. -
stricture problem or just food sensitivity
Frustr8 replied to Lynnash2323's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Somebody asked how can I be cheerful. with ulcers and an stomal stricture? Well why not? I still believe this is a condition I will grow past, I am not a victim but a survivor through all of the twists and turns and maybe my📝 story will give others hope.😛🌈 for their own futures. -
Wrong is wrong , even if everyone is doing it Right is right even if it's you standing alone.

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
Frustr8 replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like for some reason your body isn't assimulating the protein right, wonder why? Maybe you're right, your body thought you were starving and went into its survival mode, it said " I Shall Protect HER No Matter What!" , a little screwy but at least in its way, It Loves You. -
This is curious, think I'll be watching myself to see what answers you find.
-
But many people say that's just the nature of the sleeve, maybe it's so happy it wants to SING?

Hmm I wouldn't have thought so, but they ARE the EXPERTS, aren't they? -
Well, not much in , not much out, guess that makes sense. But Mousecat88, I still think,you have hidden pockets somewhere, tain't logical is it?

And with such a good attitude, I'm sure You'll do fine!

A very nice posting, isn't it?

Can I still bleach my hair after surgery?
Frustr8 replied to Dfox1984's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm afraid of bleaching my hair 1, Aunt tried it with my color scheme, she ended up with orange sherbet hair, never bleach if you're a redhead! 2. I probably would resemble a broken-down scrub brush, thick with,just a tuft,on top. -
What to expect??
Frustr8 replied to Auroragirl4489's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did you realize it says in the Bible husbands should make their wives morning coffee? Yep it does; HEBREWS -
And never too late to be worthwhile, my song🎶 of life is different than many but it's pretty okay. I still can sing 🎤my melody at 73, it's pretty quiet if you're dead in a grave and I found out I don't want to be THERE yet. I woke up with arthritis. hurting but went and got my Carafate for ulcers, Ditropan for bladder spasms and Zofran to keep the nausea down, laid back down after a potty 🚽break, got 2 more hours until my TPN is done, I'll see if my leg pain gets better, if not, I'll pop a couple💊 Tylenol, save the Tramadol and Norco for something more serious. And start to sip my bottle🍶 of Propel, nobody mentioned I would be doing 2 oz☕ cups this far out, but it works out to 8oz per hour, and I'll make my 64 oz today,even if it is in small increments. Snowy snowy here, close to 5 inches, but I didn't plan on doing anything outside anyway. Weighed frolicking in the snow⛄ verses falling, breaking arms, legs, hips, better safe inside than sorrows in the ❄snowdrifts. My bones don't just bend and bruise, they go CRACK and then there is a long 😧healing ahead! No Thank You Very Much!

Senior Moment: Does age matter?
Frustr8 replied to nomoe52's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You have to make your own kind of music and then sing your own song. But the melody is sweet for all that because it truly is YOURS. -
Burping usually means you're swallowing air when you take your liquids and many people don't feel restriction until they get to more solid foods. You're still deep in the learning experience at a month. Its like you do have a tool that no one gives a perfect instruction booklet for.

Tips and things you wish you would've known

Should I still be sore 3 days post op?
Frustr8 replied to MeaganMB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh Heavens yes, a lot of times the surgeon will put extra stabilizing stitching there, and and your swollen flesh will tug at it. I would worry more if you felt totally numb there. -
Enjoy it darlin', your body may just be craving it. When I got home from delivering Baby#1 I sat down and ate an entire can of 🍍 pineapple in a single setting, it seemed to be what my body needed too.

Well well well, please try not to wear Bradley J out too badly, Tuesday morning at 11:30 am I have an appointment with him. He and Dr Noria are both wonderful, I will see her the 25th for another endoscopy. See it really is a small 🌎after all. And they both have been great to know!
