  1. Well I guess I'm just an interfearing old biddy, I just wish someone could have,intervened for me. The difficult,thing for teenagers is making them feel you are not rejecting them as a person when you are trying to help. I have lived years and years of increasing pain as. I grew older and more obese. I hate for anyone,ev3n a reality show person to walk in my wide misshapen trembling footsteps of they can be helped.😪💦😪
  2. Girls , give,me your opinion! Do you think Honey Boo is going need bariatric Surgery when she gets old enough? She looks to me to have the,potential to be bigger than Mama June ever was!

    When did hunger strike for you?

    PCP,has always said that, OMG do you suppose he didn't lie about that? Maybe I'll have to believe him more often!

    Feeling Quite Miserable

    My personal flavors of Propel, kiwi strawberry and Black Cherry, Also try Nestle Splash, no calorie also, my flavors in descending order: Acai Grape, Mixed Berry, Mandarin Orange, Lemon. Try some mint leaves in your water, leaves a refreshing,feeling going down and it might, just might, help you burp. Or even cucumber slices, not that found of cukes as a rule. One friend likes a lime slice, another a lemon.🍋
  5. Caryn , I'm hugging you, because I know you need it. What a traffic bewildering thing to happen. Now take a breath, you are going to get through this. Keep up with your fluids, food you can worry about later. Your Dad would not want you hurting yourself by not following the post surgery rules. One foot in front of the,other 👣I had a son die unexpectedly,at 31, so I also have walked this walk. You will make it through but,don't be afraid to ask for help, even if it is respite care for your mother or something else. You showed great strength by just going through your surgery now it is going need an extra reserve,to continue. Do you have friends, clergy , medical staff etc that can help? Cell in all the markets you can to make it past. And if you need to talk, until you can seek more professional consolting you do have your Bariatric Pal. family. May of us have gone through similar, we want to help and never need feel alone. Okay and it is okay to cry 💦 We All Have ourselves.
  6. I wonder if Dr Needleman will give me any pictures of my innards? Do you suppose if I act very sweetly and ask politely he would? I have pictures of the different stages of my 2 EGD, I'm going to ask. Please Please? I don't care if the whole 🌎 thinks I'm a little off-beat, I think they would be neat to have!📃
  7. I've been a bad little Aspiring WLS person today. I haven't drank enough H20 today, now I'm tetering on a urinary flare up because I dehydrated myself. Don't I know,better? Yeah I do but. I was so busy talking the talk I failed to walk the walk, better repent now,before I become,post surgery and risk hurting myself more! Yes I will force my water down, see I have a bottle,right here🍶 I promise👏 I WILL DRINK IT!😪

  12. Saddy, it's Frustr8 here, also getting a bypass about your time, although I'm an original not a revision. Are you sure you have hunger and not just gastritis and excess acid and possible ulcer.? A little about me, I have been fighting the GERD war for awhile, went from PPI to next. About 6 months ago, give or take, my symptoms amped up. Now my gall bladder has been gone for 34 34 years but that was the general area I was having pain. I am a dabbler on the edges of medicine and I also have a fervent imagination So what do you I rationalize about right subcostal pain ? Errant gall bladder tissue they didn't remove, maybe I have gallstones blocking pancreatic ducts, a Ghrelinoma, mind you I don't even know if there is such a thing?. gastric carcinoma, or as my late MIL threatened , my fat strangling my intestines? At that moment I was peeved at my PCP, the great steroid prescribed,he thinks medrol will cure the world of all its ills, I just think it makes me FATTER. So I hiked myself off to the gastroenterologist, why go to,the hmmm level? Lets fire the big guns. After changing PpL once again, now I'm on Dexilant, the Ferrari of Ppl and I go through an EGD which shows I have active gastritis and gives me a little birth announcement, I am the unwilling stepmother to Hector my teeny tiny stiil-sleeping gastric ulcer. The good news, Hector is not caused by H pylori, he is from excessive amount of ibuprofen, which had chewed through the protective mucous lining and into business area, the stomach wall. Nd we,must,keep Vector peacefully slumbering so b he does not perforate and dausevall kinds of trouble. Hence the,pain Goodbye coffee, spices peppermint, skipping meals and of course NSAIDS. There is my story and hi hope it helps a little.
  13. Hi O&D, this is my third attempt to tell the story,of my,parents friends Inez (who was a Fertile Myrtle) and her,husband Max Freddie Frederic Charles) born,Groundhog,Day Twins Ronnie(Ronald David) and Donnie (Donald Robert) Thanks giving Same Year so all 3 started school the same year Peggy (Margaret Grace-Anne) next Labor Day So 4 babies in less than 2 years-Inez had silver hair- wonder why? Then the Korean War,happened, slowed old Max Down a little! Next baby Tony (Anthony Michael) Easter 1955 Mary Maxine (we called her Mai, she looked like ole Max in drag)Mothers day 1956 And finally Suzanne Angelique )who lived her life as Suzie Q )Fathers Day 1957 Then I don't know whether they had Max neutered or Inez 's Uterus threw up its tubes in the air and shouted "No,Mas" but they ceased attempting to repopulate the Earth single handedly. And little Frust8 , the only child ,loved visiting them because it was a circus. Yes you're right, you do remember the name , as well as being friends they were my parents cousins and. Tony grew up to be be Anthony the same one who walked around me and said he didn't see where I was any smaller and I retaliated by telling him his hair, yep this is the Italian looking side vain about,their dark hair, was getting very thin. The sheer number of them all used to render me speechless but not no more. I might not be dark curly hair and medium complected, but the red hair was a gift I intended to use. If I barely make it to heaven because of my mouthiness. I can go sit with St Peter, he shot his mouth off too and he still got forgiven! Still hoping for a chance at👼 your ever lovin' Frustr8
  14. Now my,public I do have a thought. I want polka dots, don't know if that sounds like something Obese Olive and her cohots would come up with. Even if that harkens to profiing, so be it. Maybe a pastel shade and knee,length or just above. I am tired of yanking my hem down through life. Maybe a 16 or 18? No dang it, it is going to be a 15 Junior, that's what size I want to be. And when,it happens, even if it isn't,until 2019 I SHALL POST IT ON BARIATRIC PAL-You people gave me the bravery to attack this problem!!!😝✊
  15. My Family's Mantra,on that subject If it don't pay rent, kick,it out! And my mother's side of my gnarled family tree Far better to kick it out And bear the shame Than to hold it in And bear the,pain! But MLS it is is a very human condition, and flatulence can be interpeted as your gastric system waking,up from its surgical slumber.❤Sending a hug, if you don't need it now, put it in your pocket, you never know when it might come in handy!
  16. Miss Priss, come jo8n us in the july forums, We Have Sleever, a RNY and a generic one that,just,says July Surgery Buddies. We promise, we'll,,treat you very good#😝

    Pre-op vitamins routine

    How much more time until your surgery? I started on my,mutivitamin May 24th, well I had been on Centrum Silver but was switched to 1 prenatal daily n for the iron content, added Vitamins A &D3,June 4th and Liquid Calcium June 14th and I should have my surgeru,in July. That way these deficencies should be,lessened by my surgery time. I sure want to have my healthy,toned up for the BIG DAY!
