You and I better move to Egypt, we are going to be build like the Great Pyramids! -
jflower Gummies Bad, most doctors will tell you, the HIGH SUGAR/Syrup content is a No-No, especially when you are cutting/deleting carbs!

So instead of Seasonal Affective Disorder, you have Summer Affective Disorder,stand to reason there would be some, you are just rarer and don't have the benefit of good PR. Remember there was someone on the Learning channel, seems to me a Lady, anyhoo. she had relocated from Upper Midwest to Florida, got so sick she liked to die, only thing that cured her? To move back to Minnesota, the suns rays at the lower latitude of Florida and angles of the suns rays about did the poor lady in!

Problems with vitamin and mineral malabsorption
Frustr8 replied to Stetdadee's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Don't know if the iron infusions hurt, but baby the shots sure do, they do what they call Z-track, but they sting and then ache & ache. -

Only too doggone well. I have it too and I am a bypasser with a stricture, I foam but then also puke it up. And even if it was a small amount I puke. a disproportinate long time, go from foam,slime , food to slime and then dry graves. That's why I am still on Zofran, when my original 2 week script ran out PCP. wrote me one. And My surgeon's partner Dr Noria says to stay on it until she gets me fixed. CrissyB said it took 3 times for hers stretch Back out to normal-- but now she can eat food.👍😛💕

Want a small giggle? As you may have surmissed, my bypass recovery developed a big fat glitch. Got a pair of big sized yellow Trippy socks, well I meant Grippee, maybe a Freudian slip? That was September 5th, another pair October 12 for endoscopy #1.another pair October 26 for #2 and another to come on November 9th. They better get me repaired before I deplete Ohio State University Hospital of all their size XXL socks. If they get tired of bringing me in every 2 weeks, think how I feel!😷👍👼😇

Goody someone else from Beautiful Ireland, we have had several recently. We Americans are a mixed bag of nationalities. Malones back on Mama's side, Murphey on Daddy's , got pinched on St Paddys Day the few times I wasn't wearing Green, and my 2 sons names Kevin and Bryan. In fact my Kevin, May his rest be peaceful, as a baby I sang Kevin Barry to him. Poor Bryan, he got The Rising of the Moon, maybe he got cheated? Anyway I was Bypassed on September 5th, recovery hasn't been textbook but I DO NOT regret my surgery, grateful to everyone concerned, wish I hadn't waited until 72, but God arranges, maybe still for the best! 🍀

The surgery,itself, was wonderful, my hospital is wonderful.,The surgeon,i feel is wnderful, his name,is Bradley J Needleman, extremely important, a full professor in the COLLEGE OF Medicine at Ohio State University and he is the Cheif 9f Bariatric Medicine and Metabolic Weight Loss at that hospital. I was in one extra day as a concession to my age, I am 72, yeah old as Dirt. Very minimal pain, had 7 incisions, one at base of my breastbone, kinda between my boobs, three incisions,on right upper side, two on left middle side and one at,the top uppper part of my navel, all healed down to fine red lines, ones on left and navel you are starting to have to squint, even 2 of 3 on right side are doing Well as,a bypass one,one on right side was the " money" one, where the Big guns, the stapeler went in, it's the deepest so it was a little more tender, slowest to heal but No Big Thing! I did no5 have the fabelled has to walk off and expell. I never walked in the hall, basically on what I call,"room arrest" but hey IT WORKED FOR ME! Hey,im getting a call back from my Bariatric Facility, I hope it's okay if I finish my story in a few. Back soon, there is MORE to relate.

Thank you ChrisB, facing my third EDJ November 9th for same reasons, almost as long for me, I think 8 weeks today. This reducing mama on infant style diet, nutritionist says I haven't hurt myself yet, yeah but emotionally puffy. Nuked a sweet,potato last might, took out the pulp and stirred into sk8m milk, added scoop of Genepro, yeah not highest quality but you do what you can. Made it like a cream soup. Ate my iddy bitty 1/4 cup , sat in chair fight my pouch until she stopped trying to puke it up. Then in a couple hours I felt like I could lie down, maybe sleep. This is NOT the journey I booked for!

Hi there CeeCee2018, there are many Bypassers on Bariatric Pal, although records show RnY and the other bypasses are most prevalent, we seem to run to a majority of VSG and ESG pisters, that said if we are a minority, we are a loud & vocal band of Weight losers Ask any questions you feel you need to know. I am the oldest in years (72) but still a fresh RnY, my surgery was September 5th 2018 after seeking it since August 2015. And no questions are off-limits to me, been around this life for a LONG TIME and have accumulated a lot of wisdom. So pull up a chair, get comfy, now WHAT can WE help you with?😛☔

Tequila Helps Weight Loss
Frustr8 replied to MIZ60's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Whaaaat? Today is Halloween , the Day my soon-to-be -ex landlord wanted me out of here or well on the way. New place, I filed an application, I hope they look favorably on it. Threw away papers, broken furniture I was going to repair, losing shed in process. Could have moved on this sooner,but you only get paid once a month on Social Security. Second Dumpster filling fast, have Good Friend with truck and several strong friends, don't drive so they will be doing that. Would love to send my,outgrown clothing to Goodwill, serviceable,but not boutique level. Haven't worked office for years, only,things like this were "church dresses", probably,not worn since last family funeral. Haven't burdened you with all this, my problems guess give,my " Big Girl" panties a tug up and see what I can accomplish at this point. Sam the foreman of the workers expected 9 AM, don't know if there will helpersvwith him or they will be later? Woke up and on the,verge of puking, but all that is there is the Zofran I just took. Peace and joy Frustr8, remember Peace and joy, God made you , he don't make,no junk, no matter what evil,landlord in his ivory towet,136 miles away on the Indiana border says. I only have 3-4 hours until the brain comes and it won't stop until Saturday, or so weather report says. 🎃from Central Ohio all my pals! -

Reminded me of a story, many things do bring stories to mind. My aunt's husband,( don't call him uncle-for a multitude of reasons() practiced and practiced until he could duplicate my aunt's signature. Then went to bank, got loan application, told them my couldn't come,in herself,due to work, filled out for a large amount, back didn't quibble or rarify it, she knew nothing until the,note fell due, in meantime he had died, she was forced to work another 24 months to pay it off. The debt didn't die with,him because he had signed her namen oh it was so good that bank thought she had signed it. Just,another example,of his rotten- ess, also a,pervert, pedophile, and downright thief , and this time he hot away with it. My aunt deserved so much better than him.

*** September 2018 Sleevers ***
Frustr8 replied to macadamia's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Welcome from a September 5th ENTer who's not having happy times. Told my Bariatric people 2 weeks in, I think I am developing a stricture, Pooh pooh, they said, You're just swollen, relax things are still okay. Guess who was right? Yep your faithful poster, confirmed October 12, I have a 9mm stricture which doesn't,let purees and solids through. Liquids drain slowly through the pinhole into my small intestine. Not too bad on liquids as long as I stay on the 2-4oz every minutes between vitamins,magnesium, calcium, omeprazole, Carafate, Wellbutrin Ditropan(only once a day). And somewhere I work in at lest 2 protein shakes, broths, cream soups, broths, and strained soups with protein powder at most occasions. 8 weeks and I feel like I'm on a infants diet. The best news, I have lost 50+ pounds since July 31st but at what cost to my long-term health!? -
New here! Anyone going for surgery in January 2019??
Frustr8 replied to Amy Marie's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm in Central Ohio so much south of your daughter, maybe 75-80miles, last time I pulled up Akron , milesvwere approx. 80. My small city is Mount Vernon, pop 20,000, known for the birthplace of Daniel Decatur Emmett, the guy who wrote Dixie and was a minstrel/ vaudeville performer back in the day, Dr. Semple,, a dentist who invented chewing gum as an exercise for his dental patients and was dumb enough to sell out to Wrigley, and the late Actor Paul Lynde, among,other roles he was Uncle Arthur back on Bewitched, and Me. I have lived my whole life in Central Ohio, within a 50-60 mile radius of here. Daddy's family were from one county south, and Mama's from this and the county just to the Northwest. Yeah the roots run deep here. Been here since Indian days, my ancestors were probably the settlers that ran them out. Did you know Ohio is the only state without some sort of tribal reserve. And if you've heard the term " ----in the woodpile, I am virtually sure there are original Native,American. Mr supposition? Well you look AT my family on Daddy's side, the pictures it looks stronger and stronger! Well I am red-blonde, fairly fair skinned, talk for a woman so don't like them, favor my Mama's side, shoot some of them doubted I was Daddy's child. So what do I have to lose by asking? Asked one of Daddy's sisters, she puffed out her chest, drew up to her full 5ft6in height and announced WE DO NOT DISCUSS THAT! Hmmn the pliy thickens, do you have Wikipedia on either your smartphone or computer? If you do, go there and key in "Peoria Indians" the vast amount are now located in Oklahoma. Once upon a time Ohio had a tribe called the Mingo. At the Battle of Fallen Timbers when Ohio basically evicted the Indians off the lands the Great Spirit had entrusted to them, they moved West and merged with Peoria in Illinois. Okay if you gave pulled that website entry on Wikipedia, look at a pleasant middle-aged lady there, spitting image of Daddy's sister, the one who was SO ANGRY at her Frustr8 niece for bringing up the subject. I'm so diluted myself with settler blood maybe 1/16 or so, but it's nothing to be ashamed of, just means I have a little more rights to be here than average. Kent State is an excellent university, have a cousin that received his Masters from there. Case Western Reserve has a great medical school and and I think there is one billed as Medical College of Northeastern Ohio. I had my RNY at Ohio State university in Columbus, which is 48 miles Southwest of here, no Bariatrics in Mount Vernon as yet, May be 2019 or 2020. Every time I frequent my local ER which I do no more than necessary, they do not quite know what to do with me, like a purple spotted giraffe, I am fascinating. The staff has seen a few lapbands, fewer yet sleeves, but I think I am the only bypass they ever have been close to. And I am getting tired of doing tutorials. -
The way I read them- " like" , Good answer- worth a trophy" Wow you made a triumph" this is so funny,it makes me laugh" A hug to sustain you on your journey" Oh my, this,is confusing" and lastly" Oh this is just the way life is, can't fight it, just try,it power through" at,least that's how, I READ THEM!

Sometimes the " like" is for " I see nothing here to disagree with" and that's just the way the mop flops.
