Frustr8

CRD1981 that will be my 3 week surgiversity, proud to share this month with you!😷

Pretty much! Is Hurricane Florence past you, girlfriend?

AND I WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD!🌏

Not good but still not as bad as it would be for a bypass patient. Our stoma is the size of a dime, most or less, between our new stomach and our RnY, also known in the medical community as a "j/j" , now THAT could easily,get blocked. FYI back,im the day when I was a teenager and the Ghrelin Monster would attack , I would eat gum to,keep him quiet until I could get home to Mama and Real Food! Not bragging-Not Complaining, merely stating a FACT.

Nice water-based drink,in multiple flavors and tastes. Justin Timberlake is their spokesman on their commercials.

Well Metroplex People, my OSU Buckeyes are invading Arlington to play the Horned frogs of TCU. 6 MINUTES UNTIL GAME TIME.!🏆 Let the FUN begin!🏈

well it's been 10 days now. I am bottom line , glad for it, until yesterday and today if was progressing WONDERFULLY. Then last,night Precious Pouch rebelled against what I tried to feed her and today has been a little better, but was still upchucking at lunch time. Not made at the surgery as much as worrying. I gave my surgeon faulty,raw,material to work with, but it has been 6 hours and maybe I am returning the corner. Been sipping liquids and they are staying down. Maybe,Frustr8,is back,of the road to Fine and Dandy. And how,is YOUR DAY?

I am hoping at my next Tuesday September 18th Appointment,with Dr Needlman,I find out I have broken the 300 pound barrier. I have been working so long toward it, is THIS the week?😵

Have been still upchucking. today. Somebody earlier said they had buyers remorse, don't, have that, just fearful something went wrong,with the construction. That is silly, my surgeon is uber-smart, very talented, maybe I. produced faulty tissue for him to work with. Just feeling too rotten to feel right at the moment.

I have a News Flash Big Girls.💦 Do,Cry Little Pouches😧 do Puke

Glenna 18 please share your teriyaki,tofu recipe. Always did like teriyaki and I also like tofu, would love hearing how they meld together. 😛🍜

SCARY!

And oh isn't THIS COMFORTING! I BELIEVE THEY PUT EVERY MAN JACK,ON THIS STUFF as soon as we gave surgery.

Wal-Mart, Popsicle brand, Tropicals sugar free. Caribbean punch, tropical 🍊orange, and Hawaiian 🍍 pineapple . Runs about $3,88. Can't believe Winn-Dixie, Public etc wouldn't have them.

Well if you look on that thread about pureed foods John Kitsu,started you will see, MargoCL, yesterday was,not a stellar day for me. But this is a new one, 2 steps forward 1 back but maybe I'll still get to the end of my trail.

Gosh you are lucky, they only let me out of my room once and into,the hall. Walked me in my room which was pretty big. stationary pedal type thing,some we had at my Ltf,i worked at,a little resistance band therapy, saw people in adjoining rooms but it was not a social affair by any means . Did i,get cheated?

Not quite as brave,as John Kitsu,but we are close. Maybe at the same concert? Thursday evening finished a good. dietary day,,Friday,night the pendulum swung the other waym THIS MORNING, I am sucking on a sugar free pineapple popsicle, trying to decide what Ms Precious. Pouch. will allow us to eat this AM. A liile cream,of wheat cooked in a little skim milk? Will you ate least,consider it, Your Highness? Thursday evening,things were perfect, Friday night not so,found out who was driving and it WASN T ME. O Oh it was not pretty! 2 shout outs are due. First to Ohio State University Hospitals for sending me home with a stack of Blue Barf Bags and secondly to Wal- Mart for,producing size 2X adult pull--'ups. I could not have made it to the weeds outside in time. See I thought on Thusday,i had it all figured out, hey this was not,found to as bad as I thought. Friday hit ka-thump, and I am not quite over it yet emotionally. I can't even get,on my knees to vomit because I have 2 artificial knees. Ugly situation , Tomkitten would not have to worry about a stepfather no man who didn't love me already would hang around for THAT EXPOSITION. Fat RedHeaded woman , red-faced, moaning, tears running down her face, splinting her tummy with the 6 partially healed surgical wounds, moaning and upchucking. Was I sorry I had the surgery? No not really, it was a good thing Bradley J Needlman MD was 2 counties and 50 miles away. In between retchings, I had murder and malice in my ❤. How could an object barely the size of my fist cause this much misery? But today is a new day, 2 steps forward, one step back, Precious left me with a little tenderness on my chest but,I'll forgive her if she returns the favor.😥

Start learning to separate your eating drinking by a half hour. Start learning to sip, no more chugging, no,lmore bolting that stuff down. Start eating slower, after surgery you want to chew into very smooth consistency. Traditionally they say applesauce, I personally say Apple Butter. May have to be 20-30,times each. Sounds rough, well,your new sleeve,on pounch is very tender and crabby at first. This is my,10th day,post, thought i,had this thing licked? Last,night my pouch and. I had a disaggreement, Precious Puch won that argument. This morning I'm sucking,on a suger free popsicle, wondering if we are still in a state of truce. I am already on Stage 3, rare,but some doctors move THAT fast. Thursday diet and liquids went well, so I got,brave, wanted to venture to something else. Bad idea, right now I'm still figuring things after all. But,i am seeing positive body changes all ready. They are small, but they make me continue. Found out I can and will do this. And in a month you will be where I am encouraging the November chicks and dudes. Stay strong it is beautiful,being where I am. HW 355 10/2017 Sw 303. 9/05/2018 height 5ft 8in Goal 175 and I am. 72 years old. If i can do it, most everybody,younger has a good chance of success.

@ MargoCL,are yuo staying safe from Hurricane Fl,a

Up your fluids, get those,body,products of weight,loss flushed out, KEEP exercising , maybe,change the style up, get outside and breathe the FRESH AIR, Happy Thought! You have had your Fall Stall, now on to Autumn Activites, and walk around and smile. There may be someone you meet who may not have a 😃 share one of your smiles😛 with him or her. And Remember Life is for the Living, you aren't doing anything else right now so LIVE BABY LIVE!

Those resistance ropes and bands are really good, you can do your thing at your convenience. Don't on the what you can't do, celebrate,the "Wow I Cans" of life . And daily there will be. the "wows" only you will,know about. But this is yourWEIGHT journey,, your successes will,be yours.

Oh this Faulty Thinking brought. many,of us to WLS. I heard The poor starving children in _____would. love to,have my plate of X food. I would,have better off to have filled a Styrofoam Cooler, and called Federal Express to come pick it up. Instead of getting to,share it I ended up wearing it. News Flash The Children in _____may not,have wanted,to,willingly eat Mama's Cooking either.

A lot of us in the beginning,have these "Organ Recitals". old poem It. is better to smile😛 and bear the short-term shame Than to stifle,it and bear all the misery😧 and pain! Welcome,to your bright,new future🌈

And I have found low sodium V8 good, used be, I could take it,it leave it, but it and bone broth,make a savory change from. all that protein shake sweetness.🍶🍝🍜

So, STARTING TO HEAL IS THE REAL DEAL WEIGHT,CAN JUST WAIT❤🎁💙
