Frustr8

it's Okay, only good news comes out of Georgia, doesn't it?,Macon has always been on my short list of Southern Cities I'd like to visit!

I lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks, after losing 40 from Early September to late November. I was blamed my slowdown from now being on TPN, but maybe we are entering an atypical phase? If we are doing all the right things, checking off appropriate boxes, kick back mentally and stop worrying!😝😕😝

And I kept stirring it into everything i could, thought I was doing something to raise my protein levels! Can't I do Anything Right?

Can you get that appointment moved up any? Otherwise it could. be a Very Interesting start to 2019.

So good to hear from you, Rebchief, been wondering how you were doing!

Oh Yes, Oh yes, I have been there or you get up from a plastic chair and it makes that embarrasing sucky noise!

Some good advice found here, think maybe I should obsessing over the unfixable and start doing ME after all!

Oh yeah, and after years of being ignored or deprecated, I'm not quite sure what to make of it all! Recently someone said " My, you surely look very nice Today!" I smiled ,thanked them sweetly, but inside I'm wondering , was I plug ugly before? Wasn't I really not before? Is there an occult message here? See, I believed inside, I WAS ALWAYS COOL!😕

Well you're not someone to ignore. And having experienced your on-line friendship, you are adding spice, sass and a better taste to my humdrum Midwestern life! Thanx Lady Sin!

That could be why we, like many animals, might want to jump the fence. Maybe that lovely patch of green in the next pasture might be just What We Want!

If somebody asks , tell them Life is a 🌈 rainbow not a monotone. Although I, like you don't crave one, I am sure they are lovely. When you meet your first jokester, and purple macaroons might engender commets, tell them these are black not red raspberry cookies! And Best Wishes to you and all Bari-Pals at this Holiday Season!🎅🎁🎈📦

Heading towards 250, might have made it already but now I am on TPN so the malnourishment spiral. is starting to level out. No stalls as yet, still praying I make goal somewhere between September 2019 and March 2020, still aiming for 175, haven't shared this with my Dr Needleman but I honestly would accept 195-199 if I could go no lower. But at 14 weeks I am still in fairly early days, am going to stay this course, and see where the chips fall!

As Gung Ho as my PCP is about prescribing Prednisone, I am surprised nobody else has Dx me with this. Still believe when I was on this steroid therapy it caused me to go from 110 to 175 and started me on the downhill spiral towards OBESITY, saddest facet was I was only 15 years old, too young to legally refuse and Family Doctor stated " Aleta- this will fix her right up!" and now 58-59 years later I am reaping the whirlwind, of what Doctor and Mama thought was a healthy intervention. Should I cry😭😥? Be 😠 angry, or merely accept they did what THEY THOUGHT was a healthy safe intervention?👈😕👉

Haven't had a flare since before my September RnY. Hadn't put things together before now.

Bernese are beautiful loving dogs, as you face this difficult day , sending a big hug. May you make the right choice, for Bernie, for You. Praying for a Good Outcome👼🙏😇

Irritates your stomach lining and is also a diuretic. Hard to count up fluidic you're peeing non-stop.

You know that sounds strange but I bet you're right, in an odd way it makes sense.

Got a new acronym for you WTFGTBS- what the F*** go to be something And you're the first case they've seen! Sent you a hug, you need one now!

Call on me Teacher- I know the answer! Please Please Please! Extra urine sample is for,pregnancy rule'out Blood sample- my Bariatric hospitall will not operate on someone with blood sugar above 100. They rationalize- if you have been fasting for 8-14 hours and you are still THAT HIGH, it Bears more study. Happened to me, luckily I had been early, only had fasted for 5 hours, but my big bad self,laid there until they got one of 80 and became satisfied.

Sideeye I really to remember #5, I have a stack of " just incase" been so long there they are pathetically out of style.

Keep your fluids up high, make that critter swim for its life. Hey while I have your attention the Columbus Ohiomosque had a Open Mosque over the weekend , had a very nice turnout , the Iman said we may do this more often. Had a lot of Somali relocating there, not as big community as Minneapolis Minn. , that's largest group there.

And may you have only wonderful things in your future. We are very proud of you, but we know the person most proud is YOU and that is the way it always should be. Continue to keep us updated, okay?

And I hope things are still going well for YOU. Keep us posted and updated @ Michele0507.

Well @Sheleybeth it's been about a month since November 12th, how are you healing and how are you feeling? Don't thi,k we have heard since November.

You are a little stinker, aren't you? Would have done(and have on some of my others) the exact same thing! FYI the other big Hospital in that end. of Columbus, Riverside Methodist does pregnancy tests on every female under 54. Did on one of my buddies from a Columbus suburb, Gahanna, she even showed them her abdominal hysterectomy scar, maybe they thought it was an air vent? Oh well, a good way to Bill insurances, isn't it?
