Frustr8

Too much sugar free 🍬---the porcelain throne will be Your Home!

She hopefully is, ME pfft sometimes I feel like I will be Strictured forever! 🍤

Maybe they don't clean and clear it often? IDK my vice is usually Wendy's not Mickey D!🍯🍔🍲

So how is your Tum Tum doing Megan?

Anymore for the Post 50 and Starting to Look Spiffy RnY club? Always seeking new members, I'm very very nice, I have let nice Sleevers visit and take part!😝😅😝

And DO YOU have a Motivation List yourself?😅😨😰

2nd time no success, 3rd time a little more but not fixed yet, November 24rd or thereabouts here I come! Dr Noria must 💕💓💕me, started calling me by name, not Patient#. That surgeon LOVES do endoscopy!

My pouch almost always hurts and aches, my ulcers, tension. repeated urp -ups or something to notify bariatric team about Monday-Tuesday?

Maybe a lower calorie Pumpkin or Sweet Potato custard type thing? Low cal, low fat doesn't HAVE to tast bad!

Interested not interuppted, curses on Smart-alecky Smartphone!🌋

I was a bypass in September on the 5th, nearly same SW , almost same current weight, interrupted to see where we both end up! Power to Us Both!😝&😝

And @Ms Browneyez42, I was proud of you in August and I still am. Since,i developed a Stricture nobody💦" sniff " will Ever ask ME to speak at anything until I DEFEAT IT!😭😪

Hey Hey Hey I've got an NSV! Getting ready yesterday to go to Columbus for my bi-weekly Stoma Stretching at OSU, Dr Noria says We Are Making Gains! think she is optimistic, but let's SEE IF SHE IS CORRECT! Anyhoo I had put my bra in to be washed so dug in my indie drawer for a fresh one, A 42B and it FIT! For so long I have bought what I could find, added bra extenders so the band would be large enough. First stock size in years! + What I have said before, I AM NOT,a woman or Miss size, I am a terribly bloated Junior, a 27 or 29, for a woman in the 270s a B cup,is NOT LARGE! This is Why i should aim for a 15! But power to this rapidly defating Plump Princess!

Might still be early days for chicken, eat slow, small small bites, pause between bites, lay your eating utensil down, don't talk, don't get distracted, don't brood over what someone said or snide remarks, warm things work better for me. Remember you're not punching a time clock, respect your new gastric environment, it is having to learn to cope too. I am 9 weeks out, and as I said in the previous thread I have become the DoorKeeper and bouncer at Club Stricture, a job certainly I did not interview 💦🔉for. And I argued for 3 weeks with my Bariatric Team that I DID have a stricture, and OMG the excuses I got! Varied from" You have to give things ⏰time" to " You just want attention!" Oh was the 📣stridecy in my voice a CLue? Finally,to shut ME up they scheduled an🔍 Endoscopy, an EGJ, because of course you never can visualize an bypassed duodenum by EASY MEANs. And who was right? ME ME ME! Yeah I don't have a bunch,of degree letters after my name, but I do know MY body, I have been living in ME a long time and besides I am puking almost as much as I did pregnant, and I can count on my 2 hands without going to toes, the episodes of emesis since then. I do not upchuck freely. So every 2 weeks, October 12, October 26, November 9th, I haul my Happy Hoohah to Ohio State University Hospital to the Endoscopy/Hepatology Lab for Fun and Games. The nurses are starting to recognize me, Dr Noria, the😷 bariatric surgeon who LOVES doing endoscopy greets me by name instead of #. and the surgery tech nurse says I get a Frequent Flyer card at the End of November. Asked if it has a Plumb and Fun sticker,on it? What a lovely idea THAT IS! That's me, a bundle,of fun and weird suggestions!👈👸👉💦So omeprazole twice daily, Zofran 3 times daily, Carafate every 6 hours around the clock and now a new directive, I can no longer be around active smokers or anyone with residue on their clothing. Why? Because my 3 ulcers have weakened. and are now at risk of bleeding/ perforation. Since Tomk8tten and I neither smoke or allow it inside, that's her first intervention. Lovely going up friends, associates, even people on the street, May I sniff you FIRST before we have a conversation? Barely have that many left, remember I have reached the age when peers drop like Flies!😭😝😪

Hope I'm wrong, but if I'm right, welcome to Club Stricture, I'm Frustr8, designated DoorKeeper, We are Exclusive, very few pass through HERE!

Orthostatic Hypotension, be he GONE!

Imagine being stopped by Police? "Oh yes officer, I just had surgery and they misplaced my tail. Maybe when I go back for followup they'll straighten things out!"

Tie a string or rope around your waist, when someone asks say "Oh my, it's the ONLY WAY I can keep THESE PANTS UP! " If they prolong the conversation you have a perfect chance to brag and be obnoxious about the situation!😝🚩LOL

@ 33andathird, always wanted to ask, is your pen name because you want to be a long- playing record? I do think it's cute!

Well my Surgery Month Buddies, has everything resolved? Especially you @ Mandy1013, I have a stricture, 3 times they have tried to resolve it, still not quite right, still on liquid diet, still fighting the Nausea Wars!👀👅💦

And I hope all of the above posters are doing well with their pist-surgery lives! Happy campers make Camp Bariatric more fun, don't you think?🎪

@ Missouri- Lees Summit, so often you "cut to the chase" , just another of the reasons I enjoy finding your postings!😝🚩🌈

@Gastric Girl and @Michie_be_me do you feel the same 2-3 months later or have things smoothed out?

Just thinking about you, will Continue to hope with Proud Grammy, I have enjoyed your posts so much Phil, don't want anything stopping THEM.

When you get through with herding cats and grandbabies, I have a container of earthworms you can organize into a marching band. Saw a couple centipedes that might play cymbals or snare drums.
