Frustr8

Remember my Sisters ; Karma, Menopause and Mother Nature, all 3, Are A Female Dog!🐶

@ Kingcake, if you can wait less than a month, on September 5th i, the about oldest Bariatric Pal active on BP, will tell you in my verbose way my RnY😷 surgery experiences. I do have a way with words (fuf,i do say so) even though my dexerity at texting is maybe C×, my,problem is my fingers go at a sedate 45 mph, my brain is out at the Bonneville salt Flats setting a land speed record. But cross,my heart and,the,promise to have to drink,Protein Shakes into infinity, I WILL Tell All. Okay my friend?

I believe Emotional Stability and,Future,Mental Health should be. a valid Comorbidity. My PCP stated. I,fall into the Grid for Monderste Depression. Listen Junior , you go through what I have gone through. You have a Bariatric Surgeon and his Evil Hench- Staff tell you for 3 long years YES-NO-Maybe, YOU jump through every Consult Hoop they can come up with, YOU cross every T, You dot every I, You cry yourself to sleep because you are tired of it all, YOU do the very best you can, and then have them TELL YOU We've decided YOU are UNWORTHY of our time and efforts. Get Lost, little girl, Get Lost! See if You,come out of it singing Our Day will Come and smiling broadly. You really doubt,your self-worth. Kill Myself, No! Wish I could die Yes. I just don't have the emotional energy to do myself IN! So Surgery,Now Is a Validation, a Re-reaffirmation. that I have a place still,in this world🌍, that someday respects and believes me enough to give me the surgery I have been working for, the hope of my💓, the conformation that I deserve to live and have a future, the promise that I have value to myself and others. How can I help but be LESS Depressed after all this? So September5th shortly,before 5 AM I shall March into Rhodes Hall, the Admission,Hall for Ohio State University HOSPITAL-WEXNER Medical Center in Columbus Ohio. At or shortly after 7AM Bradley J Needleman MD will be waiting for me, fully garbed in his Sterile Suit of clothing and gown. And as soon as I am asleep, I will be intubated, my arms stretched out to each side, my patient gown will be removed, my belly,blown up to where I look as if I am carrying octuplets, the fun and games begin, and I will receive my RnY. I will have entered that room smiling, and when I wake up in Recovery I still will be happy. My prayers will have been answered. And if I. become his 1st Fatality, in all years he has NEVER had onen after the First Rotten Excuse of Surgical Flesh, and because at this hospital one is permitted a chouce, Frustr8 is VERY CAREFUL who she submits her body too, I checked every bio, every Statement of Purpose, his entire Bariatric Surgical record, this is my One, my ONLY foray,into Bariatric and Major Surgery, I WILL DO THIS RIGHT! And truly believe I WILL wake,up in the Recovery Room, more likely,Donald J Trump will get on National TV and apologize to the American public for being an abysmal failure as President, I will wake up in Heaven with mybGod, because as a beliver, that's,where I want to be. A Win-Win situation for ME!😷🏣😛👍🌈

Me Too when I had it, seems to be Standard.

Remember Girls, you each are doing your one Best TOU! God made a lot of, animals. He made in addition to timid small field mice, Lions, Tigers, Gazelles, Impale. He liked to look at variety , didn't just develop a Cougar,and say One Animal, that's enough! Rock Your Uniqueness, that's what makes You, You! The weight will come off, in its own good time. BARI- Pal. CreekImp donated an Inpirational thought, which I liked. EVEN IF YOU END UP LOSING A HALF- POUND A WEEK,THAT IS STILL 26 POUNDS AT THE END OF THE YEAR! Stay Sweet, Stay Cool and remember each and every one,of of us Love You and Love You for being YOU!

Excellent Advice. Sosesue61. On this beautiful Saturday Morning in August I am awarding you a🏆 "Special" Trophy!

Soon and very soon my Kaiser Kid! You can do this, you know, your dreams are coming to fruition, you have done so much toward this, classes etc. Keep Kool, Keep Kommited, Keep Kalm, Kaiser, I Kid is going to ✈Fly Baby Fly! I may be a LONG way away but if you listen close you can hear me📣 cheering,you on!

The mood is set, sweet music playing, and. you there. A red-blooded. American. male would find that and you entrancing. And more sweet music can be made!

We can tell them, can't we? I've told you about my bad ankle too, but did I tell you I walked 2 weeks plus on a broken,leg? Yeah lower leg, no way I could have walked with a broken femur, doubt anyone could, that is an exquisitely,painful injury, most people pass out , the others merely pray they could!

Should have at least uttered,a heartfelt OOPS but I bet he just scribbled out a scrip. And truly Keflex💊 tastes like mold smells. Didn't say it doesn't work, just that's what it always reminded me of!

And you are right, I love all genre, classical to reggae, and thanks to Music Choice on cable I am pretty knowledgeable. Tomorrow evening is my 55th class reunion, I graduated at 17, one of the young31st. Won a prize for knowing Ruby and the Romantics, but then why,wouldn't I they were from Akron. And of the ways my group showed rebellion was listening to black,owned radio stations. Sounds tame by today's standards, but we thought we were the movers and shakers that were going to save the🌍. Did we? Nope but as Billy Joel said " We didn't start the 🔥. And I have a melancholy strain in me, so I 💓 the 🎵blues and their great 🎤singers.

Your problem may be your pen name, you literally,have sprinkles of hair here and there. At least yours will be a normal color and pretty soon the right thickness. My friends that went through chemo ended with different. One girlfriend had straight,blond hair. After her round,wss through she developed red gold curls. Said she went,from Anna Nicole Smith to little Orphan Annie. 👱

Can I remember Tammi Terrell instead? She sang with Marvin and her Daddy didn't shoot her dead. They really made beautiful🎶 music together. See , you have here ,a veteran of THOSE years, I loved and 🎤rocked with the best,of them.😛

If you weren't nervous, you wouldn't be human. I'm the Brave Little Engine,that Could and I realize,i'm setting,off into a brave new 🌍world. Can be only,be few who have studied more what will happen than I, been 3 years after all. We are going into a place where we do have a map, but what if the map isn't right? Cliffs may have fallen, New roads may have been built. And none of us knows exactly how our own bodies will react to this 🌀challenge. But we still go forward, we've come too far to turn around. And we see the stars shining ahead., don't we?😛🌞☀🌈

Love seeing all this pictures and seeing how each,of you have changed. If I had known you are your heaviest I sure wouldn't have recognized you now. In 2019 I hope myself to have such a change. A lot to work on after my September 5 2018 RnY but If you can do it, I will too.

Hi Diana, glad to meet you, I'm having an RnY on September 5th,so you will beat me to surgery. Which kind are you having and where are you ilocated? I am in Central Ohio, lived within 60 miles of my city all my life. My surgery will be in Columbus but I live in Mount Vernon, 48 miles NE if there.

Congratulations on getting so CLOSE to your surgery date, my RnY. will be just a week later on September 5th. Big changes coming in both our lives.

My mind thinks I'm somewhere around 235-250, I'm in shock when I look in the mirror " That's not the ME I remember." Now I wonder if I will still feel 250,when I. am under 200. They have spoken of your body having a weight set point, a body-shape your body tries to maintain. Well,i wonder if I have an emotional,set point, and it's 250lbs.

But does it cut off your hairs circulation so it on your wrist? Seems curious,to me.

FYI ----OSU doesn't allow bariatric patients pre or post- surgery to have pickles of any kind.

That happened to me after mylast,knee replacement February 2017. Oh it took,a bunch,of interventions, got better but,my,PCP, drat him, put on,my chart Opiod induced constipation, now that will,follow me all the rest of my life.

And good luck and Good healing to you all. I hope you have tbe success you wish for.

At 180 you are gonna have all the ink you want Proud Grammy, of course DH may die of rage but you'll have all you want! LOL

@mercmerc and BigBadWolf, I am having this,💩 posted it on PreDiet, if I'm like this now, what hope do I have for the future and post- surgery. Maybe I should put a pump on the MoM bottle so I don't have to unscrew the lid.LOL
