Frustr8

I had peach-mango liquidcell while at OSU last month, I could stand that flavor , tried 2 other flavors, a fruit punchy one and grape. If I hadn't worried about somebody falling, I would have dumped them out on the floor!

Probably what passes for fruit punch, yeah sometimes they are weird in taste. What I did was 6oz(1/3 cup) punch protein, 6oz minute maid 15 fruit drink and filled up the rest of the way to 16oz by water.

No about half-way up between there and the shoulder on the inner side. The two tubes with their caps do hang down to the fold. I usually put an ABD under them so they don't rub and bug me and cover it with a slim elastic bandage through the day. And night of course I have the TPN pumping him I just can't unscrew the caps off so my son helps with that but I do 85--90% of it myself. No harder than putting mascara on or curling your eyelashes. Takes me 5 to 8 minutes total, worst part is the keeping things clean and sterile. And remembering to take the bag out of the fridge 3 hours before use so it will warm up, and I put my vitamins in just before it's started. Got pretty good at drawing the stuff up into the 💉 syringe, 5 ml of each one. Yellow is the fat soluble -smelled just like baby vitamins, the other one is clear, maybe water- soluable? Anyway after they are in you rock the bag like it was a baby, mixes everything up nicely. Oh it will be nice if someday i can eliminate it all, but considering if not I could have stayed malnourished, given myself a heart attack and died. I'm too ornery. to go quietly!👼😈😇😝

Always wanted a FitBi T but was afraid it would say " Get up Fat so and Start moving" I hate when electronics nag you!

Hmmmm maybe I ought look this up on Google or Wikipedia & might get some insight on it..

Maybe you have adhesions where the lap-band sat so long. It has happened before.

My insurance approved first, maybe on General Principles? Goody, Frustr8 is going to have her surgery, maybe she'll stop bothering us! I knew it was okay but had to wait until September 5th because of vacations.

And has anyone ever needed a J-tube inserted? A doctor ( not,my surgeon) mentioned it as an alternative, think I would prefer my PICC LINE which I am starting to develop a truce with, to an J-TUBE through my abdominal wall. What think all of you?

May everything go WELL for you.

Very very proud of all of you, hope more check back in and tell their stories.😝👍👼😇

And when you get there, eat dark meat chicken, its higher in iron, will help your body produce hemoglobin, healthy hemoglobin leads to less fatigue.

sad-- not--- dad, I only had an RNY, not a sec change!

Thank You MME for making me feel special again. I felt very invalid yesterday, today will be BETTER. I try to always bounce back but I lost all my bounce the way events turned out. My late and lamented Ricky Nelson was correct It's all right now*** For I learned my lesson well*** If you can't please everyone*** Then you better please yourself. your dad and wiser friend FRUSTR8

And what great deal you got, not worried about Toto because YOU are in Kansas after all!

I remember the beginnings but Wowsers the end product is Wonderful!

And how you now feel about yourself. And we all should take pride in what we have done for ourselves by this commitment to health.

It was supposed to read No Wonder, my smart phone is demonic, I will proof-read, things look okay, I post it and the phone alters spelling and meaning. Spank Spank, bad little Verizon!📱

My paternal side of the family were small businessmen(aka moonshiners) my material grandmother was buried wearing her Women's Christian Temperance Union ribbon, now wounded I'm as mixed up as I am. Have I ever tasted Uncle's White Lightening, Oh yeah, had to sit down. on a tree stump. 1) because the world was spinning and 2) so I wouldn't shame Daddy by not being able to hold my liquor and so I wouldn't puke all over somebody's shoes. I voluntarily never drink again in case I might have an innate alcoholic gene. Worst thing my relatives did, one of my great great uncles had a keg of hard cider in his barn, males in that family all went out and imbibed what didn't freeze. Imagine what proof that must have been! If anyone is curious what proof means, it's % of alcohol content, so 100 proof is 50% alcohol. Scary Larry True Fact!

I am proud of you for facing this strongly, 🐭🐺 You are a very fine young Lady.

I just want to share with my January Bypass candidates something from Oprah Winfrey THE BIGGEST ADVENTURE YOU EVER CAN TAKE IS TO LIVE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS. Best of everything, look forward to your futures and Smile Smile Smile!

Only heading to 4 months, but noticed riht behind my bangs I'm thinning, and what is there is spiking up and looks like baby chicken🐣 fluff. Maybe it isn't noticeable to others but it sure looks odd to ME!😰

Usually the lower left incision is painful for sleevers, lower right for bypass, that said if your surgeon was left-handed or learned by standing across the table, all bets are off. I swear some surgeons double stitch everything for safety purposes, don't want any inner herniation. But we all heal and get better. Didn't get this size in one day, so you'll probably heal in increments instead of one miraculous swoosh.😝❤😝

I wanna Nutri- bullet, I wanna Nutribullet, anybody listening? Nope didn't think so, have to buy one MYSELF!

And haven't I told you, very few of MY relatives would I choose as friends. And when you were this size before you were younger. When I was my current size before I didn't think I looked too shabby, now I just look weary and 😟 worried, but got to believe 2019 may bring answers to All my questions. Watching for a Beautiful Sunrise Soon!

At least you're still in the passenger seat, some days I feel I've been tossed in the trunk on top of the spare tire & with the tire Jack poking me in the ribs!
