Hope Napa Valley stages an intervention for You Soon! 🍷Bartles and James, paging, Bartles and James!

Feel the same about a 25 pound bag or either White Flour or Sugar.

As long as you don't develop fins or feathers-'it's "Totally Cool!"

There seem to be 3 camps when it comes to Premier Protein drinks 1 ❤them- best thing found,or formulated 2 Loathe them, poured some in the dog's dish, he couldnt stand to drink it either! 3. Mffh what's the use dicussing THIS, let's talk about something really important- ME

Or its the rush, the swooshing through,of semi-digested foodstuffs, if you are a bypass( which I SHALL IN A MONTH be) you no,longer have a regulatory sphincter to slow gown things. If you are a VSG, instead of a football to digest with, you have a large hollow bamboo tube/garden hose thickness apparatus, so things can swish at a semi-breakneck speed also. We or our insurance " paid the choice" now we all "reap the whirlwind" and it the best of times IT is SOMETHING to get used to. How did I get so smart this soon? Reading, listening to veterans stories, empathizing, sympathizing and " there but for the Grace of God go I" in equal portions, and lastly a whole lot of love for All.😛❤😛

Bless you, I am 72, and as I related before, I was the one a former friend said " Oh you're STILL. alive!" Did so hate to be such,a disappointment but I surely will look,better in a smaller casket someday.

I feel for your daughter so muc. Adolesence,is difficult in the first place, trying to figure out your place in life and the world. Then you put on the layer of feeling "unaverage" she may be feel if she reaches out to someone she will be rebuffed for her sexual orientation. No this isn't my problem, I am high level autistic but many facets are similar. I feared being rebuffed also, for my thinking processes aren't average, still valid but not average. What people needed,to see, and few did, it does works for me. I'm proud she knows this aspect of herself, now how to work with it and have it shine. Do seek PFLAAG, once you have your foundation firm you can help her rebuild her blocks too. In the meantime, we are your brothers and sisters . Reach out when you need to!😛

And I shall be waiting, I'll be easy to find, look for someone red-headed with a protein shake in her chubby fingers!😛🍶

Gosh I wished when my PCP asked me, at 72 and 6 years widowed, if I was still sexually active, I should have said, "No Doctor, are You?" Better he feels uncomfortable than remind me no one wants me THAT way?

Shame the Person couldn't have said " how long have you had such poor people skills, poor assesment skills and been posessing a nasty tongue?"

@jess9395, my late husband once brushed his teeth with Vagisil, his excuse " Well ,the tubes were the same size" yeah but Vagisil is not Mint-tasting, even though your mouth might not itch anymore. ROFLMYFAO😛

Salute nothing Dilute about your Acheivements!

INSTA AVENTURER you got your educational Masters now you are going to receive your Bariatric Masters. Although you didn't have to compose and defend your thesis for this one, I bet you could have! Two Masters in less than a year, Cool to the Max and it couldn't have happened to a better more WONDERFUL person. I Dilute you for What You Gave Gone through and hereby convey this trophy 🏆to YOU!

Did your hospital give you your Incentive Spirometer ahead of time? OSU does so you can practice for the 30 days prior to surgery. After that, cough, get anything in there, up and out. Keep forcing in those fluids, wash those viruses and bacteria out of your body, they are not paying rent, evict them now! And chill out, things are going to be fine, dandy and cool to the max! It's Shining Time, so shine baby shine! Just a month today until mine, so clear the runway this ✈is going to fly straight and true and so will YOU.

Bariatric Surgery makes new life out of Nothing At All ( with thanks to Russell Hitchcock and Men At Work)!!!

Say Would I rather drag around too tired to do housework Too out of breath to climb stairs Legs hurt too bad to go for much of a walk Only go outside when the temprature's right Too cold and and,you ache Too hot and you sweat buckets Not be able to fit normal-sized seating and pretty colored clothing Have people look at you like you were a disgusting bug Be known as that fat broad or big man when you have a perfectly lovely name your parents gave you. Have people you haven't seen for awhile say " Oh are you still living?" Have younger people tell you take up too much space, waste too much of the world's resources so just die, and do,it quickly Get up every morning knowing that you are in pain and this is As little pain you will have until you try to move Look at yourself in the mirror and not,mind how you look. Even worse, not own. a mirror you can see all of you in. Know that no matter how much you eat your stomach will hurt and feel unsatisfied. Know when you get up you don't really matter to anyone and you pray for death to realease you from your dismal existence After All this You Still want to Stay as You Are'---then More Power to You. It will take every drop of your Power to Even Exist! If you reject any or all of the above then join me in seeking and obtaining Life Changing Surgery. You see, either I or People I cared for have had all the above, many died out of Hope, but by,all I hold dear, all I find Good and Holy, I shall not merely exist. I don't walk slowly, I run as fast as my legs, old as they are, can move toward my surgery. Better the Person I can become than the weary depressed hollow shell I had become. I will enter the Operating Theatre with a Song in My ❤, when I wake up again, and yes I shall wake, for my surgeon has a perfect record which I shall not besmirch, I will have a smile😛 from cheek to cheek upon my face, what pain I have will be mild and negatory for the final result will be having my chance at continued life, and this one will be SO MUCH BETTER! Don't be Jello, quivering and fearful, join me , strong and resolute in my Bright Shining New Day! Joy always has and always will Trump sorrow!🌈

Yeah Poppygirl, is it worth the $ and the wait to get it?

Yeouch, not good. Force fluids, couldn't hurt, if you weren't so close I'd suggest an antihistamine to reduce fluids my own PCP would recommend Lasix , I swear,he thinks diuretics and Prednisone Dose-packs cure the🌏!

not 28 but 18 inches measure it with my pocket tape- got used to carring one when I worked Fabric and crafts. Should have a sign like amusement parks only it should say " if you can't fit a seat this size, Go Away " Same Ding Dong hands me a box of tissues one day, wouldn't need one if he' d air conditioned the waiting room instead of the examining rooms where you're half naked anyway or his own office in the back with the big mahogany desk. Oh I've lived forever I have a millions of them. A non- Bariatric dude, told me I shouldn't be pregnant if I was obese- sorry Dr Doofus but some of us do ovulate and sleep with our husbands. Besides I'm 8 1/2 months gone, a little late to call things off!

You mean besides: Be careful, you might overbalance and fall off the table! I see you're still walking- Did you by chance expect I'd float in? Maybe you ought to sit,in the one without arms? I could sit in the armed one if it was more than 28 inches across! Had one who stocked his exam room with flimsy folding chairs- always problematic when you weight 200+ Well you're not huffing and puffing MUCH- shut up or I'll blow your office down! Didn't I tell you to loose weight? yeah but you wouldn't help me with diet plans or medication- yet you billed my insurance for dietary consultation- that does not include sneering or sniffing loudly.

Hi I'm only on day 4 of my presurgery diet but these are how they are for me I LIKE*** premier protein caramel- also good in decaf coffee-makes me forget it has no caffeine premier protein peach and cream'-reminds me of Orange circus peanut candies premier 🍌 and cream svelte French vanilla soy shake- lower protein, can't taste the soy- never upset my tummy yet muscle milk strawberry muscle milk blueberry yogurt smoothie Protein 20 mixed berry water Things just comme ci comme ca premier protein strawberries and cream vanilla premier protein - rountinely hate most all vanilla drinks- thick, white and tasteless All Adkins thus far Slimfast advanced Run very fast away from* ! Equate caramel and its Equate brethren Like to try* Powdered with a nut milk like almond , soy or Fairlife milk Can't disrespect anyone's chocolate formulations- I am very allergic to chocolate And those are Frustr8's Findings😛🌟😛

Yeah I saw the program on Discovery Health. That and the one where the mother decked Daddy when he didn't want her delivering and ruining the Morrocan Leather seat covers in his fancy,schamansky sportscar.

Buck up my little buckaroo! It's almost your 🏇rodeo and I see blue ribbons🎀 and trophies🏆 in your future🌈! No Tears No Fears🌟 Just Joy and👑 Triumph Already. 🏣Full speed🚘 Ahead Pat, it is really worth the drive!
