Frustr8

yeah let me add my faint praise to the chorus! Each topic I go to answer , what I call the Glow-worm spins, "Loading" then if I am. lucky it will go to correct topic but usually back to the Forum topic, what I could answer quickly takes a step or 2 longer, next time don't use a rubber mallet to repair things, okay?

My only joy right now in this midst of. WTF- land, 8 have had a First min- goal, I have broken out of 3-how much did you say?-town. and into two- fer- ville 298,6 pounds Mondaym Hey I will take what joy where I can! Don't regret,surgery. Just mad at my BODY, this is not an okay reaction!👸😪💦

still nauseous after all these weeks occasionally. Exploratory EGD 12th October,2:15 pm, same building I was in for my RnY, Doan Hall at OSUm But don't inform her, she is cranky enough already!

Precious is not being perfect, we will going for an exploratory EGD on October 12th at 2:15pm (shss! She does not know!) at Doan Hall, same building I had my surgery in at OSU, in the meantime I must molly-coddle ,her with the current cream soups, other strained soups, broth, protein shakes and beaucoup fluids. But at this point she and more solid.pureed just don't get along. First mini- goal acheived, under 300,pounds, 298,6 as of Monday afternoon! Color me incredulous!😆😛👸

Yeah most of them dealt with my sense of unworthiness. I would dream I woke up and for various reasons I had not had a successful one. internal malformation liver too big My stomach was funny-looking I had 3 kidneys, well I really do, but that is no bar to surgery My intestines were too small? hnnh? My intestine lay funny But my all-time crazy weird pre-surg nightmare? My intestine ran the wrong direction and Dr Needleman refused,to stand on his head. That one even woke me up, I'm laying in bed saying What did I JUST dream? No big problems encountered, had my RNY bypass September 5 2018, and Dr Needleman had no complaints, normal amount of time, and he must have appreciated the downsizing of my liver, the 4+ weeks of liver-shrinking worked, as well as paring of 15 pounds from my too too flabby flesh! And I have achieved my 1st mini-goal, I am now UNDER 300 pounds, 298,6 yesterday! Now to feel better and look less bashed up, but maybe I just want it all!🐵🙈🙉🙊

Separ, are you doing any better TODAY?

Yipes scarey÷ Thank you for passing this on to us.

Yipes scarey÷ Thank you for passing this on to us.

I have Premier Protein Clear ithe fruit punch,i have been diluting it half- a n d- half with Minute Maid 15 and the. diluting with cold water to cup top. Pouring it out in my 2 oz cupsm Takes awhile but,i get it down!

And my B12 from BP store in Black Cherryis so fine I ordered 2 more bottles. Great sublingual.

Rather swear by Prenatal vitamins than to swear at the can't chew, must crush varieties, did get Baritasic dissolving, they are passable but give me prenatal, and mine is not unreasonable sized, much less than the M&M doctors say not to try swallowing whole. And Whole Foods,never had a problem with them, especially OTC meds.

And hiya guys. I'm Frustr8, I'm 72 and had RnY September 5th at OSU in Columbus Ohio. So many doctors refuse to operate on us, siily aren't they? You and I , Phillip are shining examples that it can be done, it shall be done, for we deserve it and can be successful too. Medicare, Medicaid and determination got me through. I hope my Bari-Bud. @csummeral sees about you guys, she is neat lady who is also making her way through to health. At any rate Welcome again!

Hope your area of South Carolina didn't suffer too badly,with Hurricane Florence. She certainly was a nasty lady to the Carolinas .

And I am having a rocky evening also, oh I know we will all victorious but the here and now is getting very wereing and tedious . Earlier I threw up cottage cheese for what I swear the LAST, time. I have a biggish container of Greek Yogurt, couldn't keep even a small amount down.Also having troubles with pureed meats and thin cream of whatever. I may have to resort,to soy or got towards vegan.Strained soups not a problem as long as meat free. Swelling, intolerance or strictur e? I just don't know. After midnight, very dizzy, blood sugar bottoming down? Warmed up 1/2 cup of "Campbell's Yes" butternut squash soup, Hopeful this will make a difference. FYI I am 26 days and a RnY bypass now. I wanted this surgery, I am still,grateful for the SURGERY, my body was not going to last much longer with an elevated weight. I could see the Death Angel loaning ahead. I told one of the other Baipals I booked for the Losing Weight and feeling better Plan not the Puking and Nothing Stays down Plan.

Stress fracture and now your surgery. See even your skeleton thinks Your Surgery,is a good idea. Spot on the Victory Bench being saved for YOU!😛❤😛

Pretty both ways, but I know you're happier now! Congratulations and best wishes for your Future!

PS Happy Labour Day to all my Australian Buddies!

I am an RnY and they don't perform the swallow test on us. I guess I am going to have to "bite the bullet" and request an EGD. What I'm told differs from the one we have prior to surgery, they go in , puff it up , check for strictures, and if necessary they can inflate the balloon on the end and dialate my stoma between my pouch and my re -routed intestine. I have been hoping it was swelling that hadn't gone down. And now at 12 Am I am trying Butternut squash soup, just a small amount. Since cottage cheese, Greek yogurt. and thinly pureed meats aren't staying down. let's try something vegetable based. Can't even handle thin cream of cereals

I keep forgetting my 2nd calcium citrate have taken 8n the night just to get it in.

Well it must be true what my friend Brenda from,Clarence Center said, Everything,is better in Upstate New York, so the baramances are better also. Used to tease her that she felt that way from Genesee Depletion.

Met a guy Friday, super nice fellow, getting ready to retire, wants to relocate to Lake Norman. Talk ,about fate!

I'm still on Zofran, supposed to stop at 14 days but still emesis prone. Missed my 4 o'clock dose, just upchucked cottage cheese. Not worth it to cut a dose.😐

Spear , you and I May be paddling that same canoe. Either that or I have developed a stricture.Seeing doctor tomorrow about something else, certainly,going to bring up these concerns.

Tomorrow I go to court in Morning at 8 AM, Bryan has an appointment at 2:30 and I'm scheduled at 3:15 make up from last Friday when local transport littered out. I am leaning toward stricture in my mind too! This will be the third reschedule. First it was supposed to be September 6, day after my surgery. It was rescheduled for August 28th, then that wouldn't work for insurance , had to be September. So next September 28, well didn't get to see h8m then so tomorrow October 1st. Just tried cottage cheese, I have had it! incediently, did you know that was Miss Muffets Curds and Whey? Yep sure was. Precious accepted a cream soup for lunch, so I thought I would try one more timem Presurgery I ❤the stuff. 30 minutes going in , under 8 minutes coming out. No Mas to quote my Spanish friends.

Why oh why am I losing in my wrists and forarms. One of my,plans was to look younger, not to develop "old lady arms" much more thinner and they are going to snap like twigs.💦👵
