Frustr8

What's for you, will not pass you by. Irish Saying (Thank you @ummayasmin, my friend)

Remove myself from the scene of my Goody Crimes? Sure worth a Try!

Hmmn, never heard this before but it does make sense. May be the last shreds in me are due to repeated endoscopies biweekly with their attendant sedation/anesthesia. Never get it totally out of my system, puts a ☁⚡☔over your best efforts.😳💦😳

Well if it is t8me to confess Guilty Fascinations on TV mine is LivePD on A&E, I seldom miss an episode. And last night I was proud to see Franklin County(COLUMBUS) Ohio on there. One of the areascwas the Ohio State University campus and it's fringes, spent years living and walking there and the Hospital I chose for my RouxEnY surgery September 5th 2018. GO BUCKEYES! I truly do bleed Scarlet and Gray!👸🏈😛

And may your teams always be Winners! And how could they be anything else,with YOU at the Helm! Congratulations on your weight loss and may you sustain it far into the future🏈

Well I am 72 years old, a keen observer of life, never l8ved more than 60 miles from my birthplace but do travel through the lives of people I have met. A lifelong Republican but not a Trumpertarion, blame him on someone else please! Have been a wife , widow, mother of 3, 2 still living, only child of middle-aged parents. Have been telephone operator, Girl Friday in small office, worked in retail sales 11 years, Long Term Healthcare 25 years, loved people, loved making their lives better. No subject is ever beyond my comments. I think I am fun to be around!🎈😜🎈

I wonder what ever happened to one of our Former Posters, I think his pen name was @ The Coach, he was fighting an liver issue, NASH or something worse. I worry about people when they don't post for a while, did they get their "issue" settled or not?

Don't really consider,it a Food Funeral, consider it a Food Festival, some of your Old Friends are going on a holiday, if they don't return, it will be fine, you will make new ones. And at a later reunion you may wonder what you ever saw in them!👈😛👉

And what lively news that is for you!

It's irritating to your remodled gastric system and does your liver no favors. And I can state is painful l8ver is no fun b and neither is jaundice. But your money, your life, we are adults here. Just because you know better doesn't mean you're going to do better!

Challenge starting weight 272 Surgery weight 319 (9/5/18) Pounds lost since HW 93 pounds (10/17) Exercise minimal, diet restriction with stricture, attempting to upgrade daily, but still bouts of dizziness.

I was on Dexilent next, took it faithfully, felt results were good, was faithful up into my bariatric surgery time. Afterward what should rear it's ugly head but omeprazole. Oh no no, I told them THAT doesn't work for me. Their excuse: you can open those capsules and pour it on food or stir into applesauce. Moot point on the capsule opening, I was willing to cut the Dexilent capsules open if that was the rationale.Why not give me something that works instead of that stuff. But they insisted and I finally bent,to their will. 2 weeks in I stated THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, and at first I was poo!pooed, You're swollen, give yourself time to heal, you're imagining things, my favorite We Are The Bariatric Weight Team, We Know What Is Best For Your Body, yeah Your Degree- My Body! Finally, I suspect, to shut me up they scheduled me an endoscopy, an EGJ, because of course, a bypassers duodenum is never easily visualized again, only the jejunem can be, the price RNY pays. And who was right? ME ME ME! I have lived in this body many years, give me a little credit please! And in addition to the stricture I thought I hand who should be there except 5 new nasty little ulcers 2 in the pouch near the stomal openings and 3 more on the back wall of the,jejunem, all grown with daily dosing of omeprazol. I have had scoping 12th October, 26th October, 9th November and another 23 November, just don' t have designated time yet. And,last time Dr Noria stated the ulceration is worse, I cannot longer be in the presence of an active smoker, indeed not even someone who has tobacco residue on their clothing, I am not yet bleeding or ready to perforated but who knows? Of the precipitating risks? Ischemia from the operation, Roux limb tension, dehydration, difficult to move past when Precious Pouch accepts no more than 3 ounces of anything without active rebellion. And after 10+ weeks it is emotionally wearying, so I have gone back to mini-cup therapy every 15 minutes, manage to get medications, vitamins, minerals in , thing,i may be living on them instead of effective calories. And since I am still on a limited Stage 2 diet it is difficult to be dietarily indisecreet. I have been on Zofran 3 times daily, now have added Carafate every 6 hours around the clock. James I would like to receive some,joy by now! I am dropping weight like an anorexic sailor, I'm tired, dizzy if I exercise very much. Clothes much looser, some people have noticed my weight loss, the average person can't be bothered to care. And I keep on keeping on and yearn for a change.😙😉😳😜

Thanks James for weighing in , I really value your insight on so much. In Fact when I saw it was you responding, I said" Frustr8 You finally have arrived!" To answer you, yes I definitely was tested last November(2017) by my gastroenterologist when he discovered Hector my little baby ulcer with my gastritis, I was negative for h. Pylori, that's why the determination was made that he probably was due to excessive NSAID usage. My ortho suggested almost daily usage of ibuprofen for chronic arthritic pain, PCP said, since you are a BIG 👧, you can easily handle a 4 at time dosage, Thanks guys for your faulty advice! When I first complained of gastro symptoms to PCP he put me on Prilosec,(omeprazole)-- when symptoms didnt seem to alleviate is when I first visited Dr Mujataba, my gastroenterologist. And although the sequence is to have your Primary Care refer one to a specialist, I marched in on my own, because to be honest I was peeved at PCP and his danged omeprazole that was enriching the pharmacy coffers and doing nothing much for me. FYI I do not believe that blasted drug is gastroprotective for ME.

RnY is a traditional gastric bypass, named for a French Doctor with the last name of Roux, pronounced Roo, n is an abbreviation for en which is French for "and" and the Y for the,2 pieces of jejunem, the second intestine portion used, really looks like a Y if you opened someone up, please don't make it me, got enough problems with my Stricture. MGB. is mini gastric bypass, another tool in the Bariatric Surgeon's arsenal. D9ne more overseas than in USA and Canada. Has its fans, has its detractors. Another one is the Omega Loop, understand they do a lot of them in Australia. Then you have what I think of as the Sleeve Sisters VSG vertical sleeve gastrectomy- very popular these days. You give up 3/4 of your stomach forever, you're left with a tube that is bana-shaped and the diameter of a garden hose. ESG endoscopic sleeve gastroplexy - your stomach gets folded up and sutured into a smaller size, there is no external incision, all done through an endoscopic tuve, so shorter recovery, sounds like science fiction but it works, often done,on. lower BMI people. Anything else I can help with abbreviation- wise? If not NBD no big deal, Frustr8 Out!

My pet peeve- I don't if it is resolvable-!! Well here it goes. My body is giving me the sensation that it is SUPER HUNGRY. May be true hunger, head hunger, the mostly evil 5 new ulcers, the ones developed after*surgery while on Omeprazole therapy. I told NP, dieticians et all, that drug IS NOT GASTROPROTECTIVE in my case. Did they listen? Nope like a spoiled 5 year old they sat there ignoring ME. They may have the degrees , I just have the body, now with a fresh not yet bleeding, not yet perforating. 5 evil ulcers. TOLD YOU SO ! Their answer: double up on what didn't already work! And I have a stricture, oh they poo-pooed me on THAT also, told them at 2 weeks I don't think SOMETHING is working , their answer You're Swollen and still healing! Well maybe so but I sure healed into a STRICTURE. So here I am , my body and emotions saying Danger Will,Robinson-- You are starving, heading for a sorrowful malabsorption And Hospitalization🏣on IVs- NPO- TPN or a Feeding Tube. And also in that ring is Precious Pouch, the spoiled- brat gastric pouch. She feels there is no soft food, no puree, worth her trouble. So_ repulse_ them_ all. 💦 Liquids are fine & Liquids are sweet whenever I've got them*** Everything else comes up before it hardly hits bottom***. The one blessings twisted as it is-- nothing really stays down long enough to develop a partially digested odor. Slime-foam- fluid and what she is repelling. Another mini-question , since she is so proficent at upchucking will she remain Bulemic/anorexic after the Stricture is released? I really though I bought the" Healthier and Thinner for the Rest of Your Life" model not the "Delicate and Bruised as Easily as A Gardenia Petal "model. Did I get the Shipping # Wrong? So Bari-People I invite you help me find the ☀in the ☁💦☔of my current life!

My Doctor Needleman, no way. He's a shooter of clay pigeons and targets, loves the outdoors. But he plays tennis, both for enjoyment and because he is doggone good at Tim Although I can't confirm it, I suspect he has the beautifully toned legs you find in tennis and soccer males. Dr Noria runs and I suspect has competed in as many marathons as I have baking contests. So both of them not only Talk the Talk about better health & living a healthier diet, they Walk the Walk as well. And neither has reached 50 unless Dr Needlnan has had a birthday!😷&😷God Watch over and bless them, they have and are making a profound change in MY LIFE!

So who all will be joining?😛😛🐗 Hurty,hurry, it's going to be a Special time Everyone!🎅🎄🎁🎈📦

Well@ Excited for a new me, Queebee34,OlRachel, Wicked winner. Are any of you ready to join Lyleta in December? Its a beautiful month to give yourself🎁the gift of an renewed life and better health!

So Netflix and the others are worth the future expense? I hate commiting to something I thought i wanted and then curse myself for spending the money.

Well my birthday is December 26th, my first with Precious Pouch, the world's first bratty RyN pouch. Maybe, hope against home, I will be on real food, I am harboring an innate fear I will require a open surgical alleivination to what seems chronic, gosh I can heal without it, but sometimes I am losing corage.

Maybe you will have lost the plot he is expecting, but you are in the midst of writing a brand new story, a journal no one else has read or known of. Just be the best elcee ever known and let the world take of itself😝🎶📦

Almost There @ cyguy1, your Finish Line is within 👀eyesight. And then it is on to your SURGIBIRTHDAY and a bright New Future. You Can Do It, yes You Can!😜👍📦😷

Funny, I have always wanted some Glamour Shots myself, although at my "OMG You're Not Dead Yet?" age am I being foolish? You see, I may be feeling I have more right to them. Deep inside I have felt cool, competent and sexy all along, it just had SO FAR and so much to work through to surface out!

Posters swear by Injury Chicken Soup,and several homemade things similar.

Well it is a Big Life-Changing incident to come in your Life. That said You have come so very very far, don't get the whim-wahs, of you postpone you may regret it, regret can eat you up inside. I have ate Regret Stew several times in my life, not a very satisfying meal. Learn from ME😭 Please.
