Ladies! I'll let you in on a little secret!
Frustr8 replied to TakingABreak's topic in The Gals' Room
We do have a Marshalls here,bless your little punkun'❤!! -
Remember to change things up a little with your water , Try Propel or Nestle Splash flavors, they are no calorie. Try herbal tea. Hate room temprature water, I do, Try it chilled instead. Drop a few m8nt leaves in, Try Mio or Crystal flavorings. One of my friends drinks sugar free jello while it's still liquid, stranger than me. And remember sometimes when you think you are hungry, you may be thirsty instead.

And when you have a stall and all of us will at one time or another, don't start to woory, fret and lose your cool. A stall is your body's way of rebooting. We go into this Weight Loss Plan thinking all we need is our surgery and then 's room the weight flies away. News update YOU ARE NOT A ROCKET SHIP! People are more like a cranky old jalopy, you travel along, chugging chuggity, then you hit your first stall, you may have up your fluids, you may have to up your ecercise, it may just simply take time, you drop some weight, and then chuggity chuggity until the next stall comes. It does work, with patience, you will reach Shangri La. It may take 6 months, a year , eighteen months or even 2 years. my own results may be,nice as an example. In the positive column: I am having an RnY, I am more committed than most because this may be my last and best chance,for a better future Negative: I am 72 years old so my,Basal Metabolism is pretty stuck in nuteral whereas the younger people may naturally be in overdrive. Their speedometer may say Lets Move Ahead- mine says Let's slow down and retire. They can swing from monkey bars, to stairtracker to leg presses and,back,again at the gym , they can be gym rats I'm a creaky old sawhorse, I wheeze like an steam engine with a leak in the boiler and move as fast as a slug with a small shot of caffeine, I'm moving only at a certain rate and speed. And every joint in my body says WTF what do you think you are doing to me? People go to my gym for muscles, and strength, I go to for exercise tolerance and the grace to endurecand persevere.hAs I enter my silver years, won't say Gold I can't afford,it or Platinum on my budget 8 should have earned the right to choose my battles. Then one comes my EWL,estimation of. Weight Loss According to BMI chart,and Surgeon#1(curses upon his pointy little head) 140 pounds According to my dream and Valerie my CNP 175 pounds Logical answer takng into account age and natural exercise,levels 195 or slightly below Quite a difference between 140 and 195, right? Then down from High Weight of 355 to 320 immediately,presurgical date- does make one comptemplate the feasability of it all?👈😆👉

You are all human, it is natural to apprehensive. You can read, you can listened to everybody's story, but until it occurs with your own body, you just can't know for sure. We will all face this,problem, and by facing it boldly we will win over,iy and there can be no sorrow in doing this. Face forward, dig you heels in long enough to spring forward into action, and now the victory is yours. We are strong and we all are winners🚩😝🚩

Diet After bariatric Surgery
Frustr8 replied to Can'tweight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My own hospital (OSU) says no,pickles not even Stage 4. Heinz and Vlasic will probably,put a "hit" out on my dietician. Too bad, he's teally,a very cute guy.👣😝👣 -
Where are you able to find Syntrax? Is it a Bariatric Pal item, on Amazon or do you have to order it from the manufacturers themself?

Honestly none of my business, but I vote for Dr Illan, that's where I would go,if I couldn't get it in my,own country. He's even Alex Brecher our founder's doctor, he could have afforded to go anywhere and he trusts Dr Illan, that's recommendation enough for me! 🌸😝🌺

@ wjgo maybe I should have not used the word " force" I open a bottle of water, take a couple baby sips then set it down and don't finish it. That's what I meant by force, remember to drink the whole bottle even if it's in small increments. Then I end up with a line of lukewarm bottles and I don't like lukewarm, either cold or. warm tea temp, but not tinkle-warm anything. And its 90+ in Ohio so chilled tastes very fine.🍶

I was blessed with a very wonderful Maternal grandfather. Although in his day schooling stopped at 8th grade, he was a life long learner, he was determined,all,of his children would become high school graduates. Due to some sort of snafu one of,my uncle faied to receive credit for some classes and wasn't going,to graduate. My grandfather got the books in those subjects, he and uncle sat down after chores and by extensive tutoring,and prompting my uncle made up,those credits and graduated with his class. When my youngest uncle was,graduating , Grandpa and Grandma,of course were in the auditorium pleased as punch. Imagine his surprise when the school superintendent said "Hugh,Daniel Hubbell, please come to the stage." He then said " In recognition of your many hours of studious work at the end of many a long farmers day. We, the board of the Centerburg Schools would like to award you this diploma and declare you an official 1943 member of our graduating class.!" Technically it was,honorary but he worked as hard as many a child did. Making sure his boys and girls graduated. And the diploma looked,the same as. everyone elses. And he receiv- ed a standing ovation. He loved the changes of the seasons,was as smart or smarter than many meteorologists. I was pregnant,with my first child , I wish Grandpa could have,met my,babies. Especially my older son who I could see so much,of Grandpa in. My own Daddy, he took me fishi,g and squirrel hunting, had a gun painted in pink camo many years before it became popular for me. But the thing I remember most and it brings tears to,my eyes? Sitting atop his shoulders at parades , oh I thought my Daddy was the biggest most wonderful,person at that time and I felt so loved. We didn't have a lot of entertainment in my town but we did put,on bang up parades, ice cream socials and fairs. And it meant more to me than the overpriced amusement and fun parks today! RIP Daddy👨 and Grandpa👴, today I miss you both!

It’s Getting Real!!!
Frustr8 replied to Beautfully Flawed's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It is at once,scary, thrilling, and a powerful prospective change you will be going through. ai can give you the results of my studies, the stories I've heard on her and my,own beliefs on the subject,but I also,have not,have my Day of DAYS. Next month, July 2018 will be,my,own REBIRTH opportunity. I don't have a concrete date, will have to be after July 2nd, my guess is July 15th, because I have a liquid liver'shrinking diet to complete. Bit no matter the exact date, I am more than prepared. It has been so long I have developed several motors. The first one: All,my Fears drowned,in my Tears. Then: Rny in July,or I'll Cry! lastly: it is the Right time At the Right Place For the Right Reason It is the Right surgery Performed by the Right surgeon And to the Right Person *ME! So you see I am calm, peaceful And self-assured for I believe Everything's Going to be All Right!
