Frustr8

O and D you will like this. My new booklet from OSU, the one called Life after Bariatric Surgery, says level 2 and 3 diets are not considered balanced and you should remain on them 8 weeks maximum. Granted maybe you are getting some vitamin enrichment but still....! ..

I am certain our local hospital advises Panadol/ Tylenol for handnails on up. For mild cardiac infarctions, baby aspirin, and if it gets any worse we'll helicopter you to Columbus a.k.a. no longer Our Problem! See why no one wants to darken their ER? Do we want to drive 50 miles to a Level 1 Trauma Hospital or just go to sleep and hope we feel better in the morning? Life is a coin toss anyway.👈😪👉

And Grape Juice turns your BM green!

If so, shall we look for a star🌟 in the East? I hear it was pretty spectacularly fine the first time in Judea.😝🚩

Jill not kill, although therexarevdays I feel as attractive as road kill! Ta Ta!

No Sydney Sleeved and all. No date yet, every day I inch closer. Some people claim to be on the fast track, I am on the Snail Trail, reminds of something. One of the blessings/curses of being 72, you have existed so long you become a tad philosophical. Everythi,g relates to something else. Back when I was younger, was going to say littler, but some days I felt,i was always this size if not this age. Anyway when I was at summer camp, be it church, 4H , Girl Scouts, we would sit around a campfire and tell ghost stories. To this day, I never figured out why going around smelling like a smoked sausage was going to benefit me spiritually or emotionally, but life is what life is. At any rate one of the lines in all of the ghost stories was "Slowly he turned" similiarly my Weight Loss story is " slowly it moves on". Wednesday I received a call from OSU, yes we are still on a speaking basis. Ready for the whole title? The Ohio State University- Wexner Medical Center for Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery " Life after Bariatric Surgery " educational information facilitator. Almost feel like I should have a tub of buttered popcorn to go with the description. But then buttered popcorn was one of my youthful dietary indiscretions. Her name is Kaylee Krumm, sounds like an author or a porno actress. Possibly the former, doubtful the latter. I was told to download videos onto my computer, 4 in number, watch them at my leisure and then participate in an hour-long seminar on-line Thursday afternoon at 4:30 PM. Didn't mind , rather do that than drive 100 miles(60 km) roundtrip to sit in an auditorium with poor acoustics in the company of people I didn't know from Adam. The videos were informative, and the seminar wasn't too boring. I had also downloaded and printed out a 56 page booklet to follow along on Thursday while the online dietician and educator lectured. This is another step completed, next I meet with my surgeon. and one of dieticians, probably just post beginning of July. Have to wait that long because they are waiting until they have electronic verification of 30 days electronic compliance data from my C Pap. Would have had it already but I had perpetual sinusitis that its usuage was aggrevating so my Primary care told me to stop using it until it cleared up. So there was a week or so of non-compliance, so I had re establish an unbroken list. I have to show I wore the fool thing. 4+ hours out of every 24 for 30 days. So my seminar mates may get their surgeries scheduled ahead of me. I will be on a liquid protein diet for a week, 2 weeks(probably) or 4 weeks. The 4 weeks is usually for over BMI of 55-60, I am a big person but praise God not THAT large. Have I lost weight since my last appointment 24th May? Gosh I hope so, thought I was doing good, my BMI was

Your height contracts and advances daily? I've known of people whose tummy had done. just that.And then I tookbcare of a lady in the nurse,homing. She demanded,to,be taken, to relieve herself Otherwise the feces would retract into her bodyy And then there are the other men wh0 have a genital problem. I told one I was a orry about his problem but I didn't believe a laying,on of my little hands was going to help me muvh, not to mention he would be happier than I would be.

If you can take soy-based try Svelte, I have the French Vanilla and liked it very well. Maybe also test Vega out. Check at GNC , Costco Sams Club or your nearest health food store, I am sure there is an answer we just,have to do a liile detective work. CreekImp, Little Green can either of you help on this?

Sounds like the same burst of energy pregnant women get before delivery. Doctors call that a Nesting Syndrome. Can we call this a Renovation Syndrome? You know you are going to get your innards remodeled and you want everything controlled in place. That way you can approach this with Peace of Mind. Remember we are proud of each of you, you are our sisters and brothers in a very special way.💜💚❤

And I hope you have good results from it and find out an answer,to help you.😛

I'm not giving up, sit in a,chair or own your bed and still do the arm motions. What you need,is to be burped like a baby, you almost have a case of colic. Speaking,of which, I seem to remember laying,them on my,lap and moving their little legs up to their tummy and then down. Rather like pumping, yes I realize you are an adult not an infant, but you are still a people. Sounnds silly but I suspect you're at the point,you would try,most anything. I know it won't help your gas exactly but I do ❤and enjoy your friendship.

2 of my children were Spring/Summer so nice to bring them home in just a light blanket instead of the blankets, snowsuit etc in Ohio in Janurary and 15 degrees. And I was a day after Christmas baby, yes Boxing Day my Commonwealth cousins, all we get in the USA is Christmas returns, discounted Christmas cards and wrap for next year. And nobody wants to come to your birthday party that day! I have had less than one handful true birthday parties. I'm sorry if I sound cranky,but I'm 72 and unless I throw my,own. I don't get one. And if you do people look at you as though you are greedy and manipulative. One year I was feeling so sad about the state of affairs I threw a birthday party for Jesus. Made a cake and sang Happy Birthday to him. I even had a couple boy friends break up with me in December so they wouldn't have to buy me gifts. One wanted to reconcile in Mid-January but,i saw through that. Told him if I wasn't good enough over the holidays don't come slinking back now! 👎😰👎

@BajanSleeve, I forgot you were in Barbados where it and the Water are always wArm. Have you tried swimming? Seems the Australian Crawl and Breaststroke might also dislodge those gas bubbles.🗽

I am bringing this back out in case someone can use the wording in their own fight for WLS.

So we all have,our reasons for the surgery chosen , what were yours and how satisfied are you?

@Amanda403 did your surgery and your wife's surgery both turn out okay? I don't remember seeing an update? How are you both feeling?👭

WATCH OUT FOR King, Koopa, he is a bad dude!

Next time don't book your surgery at the Bronx Zoo! No I think even they treat the zoo animals better than that. Maybe you were in a clinic in Hell's Kitchen , if you see Gordon Ramsey in a chef outfit, that's a bad sign.

You can and will do it! May take a while, you're pretty now but you are going to make Beyonce look like your ugly stepsister#

You know one of the things I learned from my yesterday seminar the new Bascobal (spelling?) nasal B12? If you have price insurance like UHC, BCBS or Aetna they will pay for your prescription, Medicare and straight Medicaid don't so I'm locked into monthly shot or sublingual. . Life revenues me for not having to jump through month after month hoops of this or that by denying me this. Even Tomkitten who has Caresource and isn't wanting this surgery would be paid for but I'm not.🙈😦👎🙉👎🙈

Hot water bottle,or warm towel there. Try lying on your tummy face down , yeah ouch! Worse come to worse, try this maneuver. Take your right ARM , put it over the top of your head and try to grab your left ear. The shifting of your diaphragm will sometimes bring that bubble out. Go for a walk out in the beautiful sunlight, if you belch and dart outside it don't mean no never mind. Do knee bends, kill two birds with one stone, get the gas bubblesout and you've got some exercise in. And keep saying through cleanched teeth, THIS TOO SHALL PASS! and maybe it will!

And if you go back far enough the Dunns came from Dundee Scotland. My own paternal great grandmother came from Edinburgh, from whence came my Celtic RedGold hair. One day when I was feeling down on myself I told someone I looked like Mama Cass from the Mama's and Papas and John Candy had a love child. But as I lose weight the true me will emerge from my fat wrap, what I am is a greatly enlarged Junior size, smaller than the average in the chest for my weight, so when I achieve my goal size of 15 the real underneath Frustr8 is not a woman size, a little more athletic and dare I say a more tomboyish build. May take a year or 2 but I am going to rock this world, if Donald Trump and Kim jong Un haven't blown i🌏 or themselves up!

I Do think of Stalls as your body's way of rebooting. Ok let's reorganize a little and Then And Only Then wil we allow her weight to plummet again. In the meantime exercise and keep your fluids up . If nothing else take a walk in the sunlight, fresh air and Vitamin D are good for you!🚶 🌝

Watch out for the Norco pills, oh they work and do it rather handily but they can constipate you to concrete boulders. After sending the wrecking crew in I went on three times a week, Miralax to keep things a- movering along 💩 and keep your fluids up💦🍶 I think the only thing worse than a heavy heart is a bogged down colon!😪😪😪

Astro Cat don't ever even consider Ball Parks chicken franks! They were tough and tested vile, threw them out back not even the neighborhood semi-feral animals would touch them. Finally had to bury them, so many preservatives they didn't even rot right#😧
