Frustr8

@jconforti, I was looking for a location to find you. Your point on "Am I the only one" is well-taken and well-stated. May I share what,happened to me once? Often if I feel I have an insight, I do post. Thought that was fine until one day I answered a query,only to be put down because I was pre-surgical, apparently this person felt only post-surgical persons should be permitted to answer. My response had been gauged on life experiences which I had felt had equal validity. Didn't post for awhile, my "newbie" feelings were wounded, and until she went,inactive I never posted again where she was at. Just wanted to share this with you, and until I upgraded to Beta app, my "trendings" never told what forum things originated from so once or twice I did post way back in the GuysRoom by accident, but not anymore. I respect the boundaries now.

Oh Missouri-Lee's Summit this sounds pretty familiar. I was told I had a sprained ankle , get your fat self up and walk, many people have ankle injuries, don't be a wuss. Keep insisting , annoyed them into testing me,more, turns out I had an avulsion Fx of both tibia and fibula, too late to cast it, not surgery is your best option at this point yadda yadda yadda. Like you, no repair. I will always wonder if I had been 80 or 180 instead of 280, would it have been repaired? Of course I was a fat 👧, an attentional seeker out to make something out of nothing at all. Am I bitter? Yep just like a jar of alum.😪☁

This is interesting. Is this why we are having so many,sleeve to bypass revisions recently?😨

I'm at another stage 💩poo-wise. I know this was a post-surgery forum nut I have a pre-surgery variant. This was my 3 day in Dietary Purgatory aka liver-cleaning, liver-shrinking diet. I have read a poster who said she had nasty green stool from liquids and green veggies, another said just liquid and like colitis, my is a third variation. Stool is yelowish , softly formed, that's fine, but it burns like I have been eating pablono peppers. Has anyone else noticed this before?💦💩💦

I have a reverse annoyance. My scheduled surgery is 7AM, oh fine and dandy you're thinking , lucky Frustr8, she gets it done and over. Now for the downside, I have to be in Columbus at 5 AM, 50 miles away so a healthy hour trip. I don't own a car, I don't drive, who do I know that wants to show up at 3:30-4 AM to transport my thrilled tushhie to Columbus? People my age tend to go to bed early and sleep in. Well since I have more guts than necessary, at least until the Bariatric surgeon gets through with me, I shall announce my problem at my 55th High School Reunion on August 11th. Taxis are out, local company. does start working until,, 5 Am and Lyft and Uber don't believe in us in my little town.

Bigger- Si😛Bat-wings No😳

And now this inquiring mind now knows! 😛😅😉

Well last evening I was a bad little presurgical puppy. Now if you are pension or Social Security dependant like moi, the first of every month you run around like a chicken with diarrhea. Well I was tired and getting cranky,because I had missed,snack and supper. So I ordered Marco 🍕, what to get me? Settled on meatball bake. Ate 1/5. calories 380 that's bad enough, protein okay, fiber 9kay, but the fat level oopsey! Well I'm back on the protein shakes and company today and planning to stay there. I agreed to give it my best efforts and I shall but had a blip- a- matic moment didn't I?

Diminishes

Day 3 while doing research I found an article stating for every,week you are on your liver skrinking diet your liver relishes 2.4% in thickness and fatness. This means mine will diminish 12%. cool, that should mean my left lobe will be diminished to the point,where it will be easily retracted and won't lacerate And another FYI, medical scientists writing this article recommends 4 weeks as a minimum length. What do you know ,I AM Doing the RIGHT THING? Yea Frustr8!📣

All I see is a Duck- billed pony, is they a punch line,I'm missing? Help computer mavens, that's all my Android phone app shows 😟

And folks I'll weigh also. I am 5ft 8in , according to BMI AND former surgeon my goal should be 138 based also on body frame size. That ain't gonna happen, not even on a sunny day. My personal dream goal is 175/size15 Junior, I'm actually an overgrown Junior, a C cup, don't have the bustiness regular and woman/misses require. I would accept anything below 198, at 72 borderline anorexia isn't good for me, I am a presurgical 321, and before anyone asks I HAVE lost over 10% of my highest weight so I am trying as hard as people 1/2 my age, I just have the BMR of a 🐛slug on antidepressants, I still make my slime trail but it's about an inch an hour.

And @ The Preacher if you're reading this AM I would like to share 2 more truths which give me peace on the blessed Friday. For the LORD God will help me; therefore I will no be confounded; therefore I shall set my face like a, flint and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Isaiah 30:7 But it is good for me to draw near to God. I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works. Psalms 73:28 For thou ,Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous, in mercy, unto all who call upon their. Psalm 86:5 And still I trust in his sustaining mercy for HE is the foundation of MY LIFE. ,, your Sister-in- Lord

curtains on the carriages

Too much liver shrinking diet? That would have sainted Mother Teresa throwing things and Queen Elizabeth II installing,blackout sutains on the Royal carriages so no one could see in.

Just a little before me. so we will March to the finish line together. It's,going,to be a wild journey , but it will make so much,better,for both of us.

On my shelf, yes the one where the cookies, crackers chips and pretzels used to live, I have two kinds 9f bone, a vegetable stock,and coconut milk.

Glad to hear You are still going pretty strong, Happy Belated Birthday🍰, there you go, a virtual cake to celebrate. May this be the last heavy birthday and may your years be slender fro,now on!

And then after your month comes mine, and we will both earn our gold keys.😛

And even at my age, and since we do have cardiac issues, I had extra testing I passed at 72. A young person like you should pass easy . If you have a minor blip like insta adventurer or I. you'll still pass. I just have return every year to see if mine progresses but I still can have my surgery.

Well it seems it is at Giant Eagle, Vitamin Shoppe, Walgreens . The bad new not a one of them in my town , closest place is 30 miles away. I can get them from Amazon orOnline Wal-Mart but not in my local one. I'm a live shopper not an "onliner". if I was that I would have patronized the Bariatric Pal store before now!

I only have one container of my Svelte French Vanilla left. I like the taste, it's not as sweet and I don't taste the soy base. The bad news , I can't find anymore of it and the protein count is lower. But it never has given me any indigestion m Maybe I had better go on their website and find out if anyone else sells it.🍶

I think Wal-Mart has a brand call3d Body Fortress that doesn't sound bad. I have a coupon so I might be buying some myself.

Yes and mushify it as much as you can. You know it does sound very tasty at 6 pm to me!

You're right, there is a difference being respected and cherished versus a number and a monetary meal ticket. So glad we both landed in our right places with the right people.Its the difference between dark dismalness and soft bright sunlight.😛smiles and Please keep in touch!
