Frustr8

Let me tell you a side story. My son when we were in ER,was having weird,blood sugar,readings. Although I am not diabetic , both my parents wete, strong history on my father's side as well as on my,late husband(surprise a type II diabetic) mothers side. Okay says PCP he may be starting into the "family curse" we'll monitor him for awhile so I marched out and got supplies just in case. But things smoothed out, okay I say to myself since,they were not opened let's return them to the store. Surprise! Even if nothing was opened, original seals all in place, WallyWorld will not accept them in returns. So they're laying on an end table in my house in all their glory, All $17.38 of them, should have heard a cha'ching, as my money disappeared into their coffers.😪

slickness --although if you use scented oil --it could be spicy,also.

Make sure you have a bath mat down so you don't fall from the spiciness in the tub or shower bottom.😟

Is OSA Obstructive Sleep Apnea?😣

It's hard to see when it's YOU but believe you me You are rocking it, slow and steady, but a definate change. If others don't they need their eyeglass lenses changed. I hope my own will start out so good, I'm. still a plump and portly princess but I still plan to be the Empress of All Things Thin after a while! And I'll let you rule with me, okay?

Above poster is correct. Take time for YOU- don't take last place always in the family, it's easy to put your own wants and needs to one side, I've done it myself. YOU are as valuable if not more valuable in this family equation. Exert a little M0THER POWER,NOW! 👩

What do you do for after-hours and weekend coverage? I have of posters who were told to go to nearest ED, up to people with a 24 hour coverage by original doctor. At what intervals do,you schedule post surgical appointments? Will I have a post surgical weight restriction and if so, for how long? Are there any reason you will refuse to complete my surgery?

I assume she WAS a surgical nurse? ROFLMAO-also. Old Joke; 1st person :I know a man with one leg named Henry. 2nd person: Oh really? And what would the other leg's name be? This probably goes in the "There's Your Sign" I started the first of the month. And I'm reminded of the panicked,new father who fed his new baby an undiuted bottle of baby formula. Woke the baby's doctor,out of a sound sleep. Doctor: Just give the baby an equivalent amount of water. Good Night!😛

And Kim I think you can do it. Accordiing to previous Bariatric Surgeon I am 180,lbs over-weight, if he didn't recognize,how wonderful I am, could he be wrong about that also? But anyway I am going to keep on keeping on until surgery and my new and improved life can start. Like you I don't know how long it will take to get down to my personal goal of weight but I am going to do it, Slim and trim I doubt but fitter and a smaller sitter, that I CAN ACHIEVE!😛👍

Well peeps I'm still moving on at a slow steady rate. Got reminder robo call last evening at 6:20 pm. today got a call from live person asking me to stay extra half-hour to speak with an exercise physiologist, hope they realize you can't squeeze too much blood out of a tired old 72 year old turnip like me🍈(Apple proxy for turnip, Apple said it didn't mind) I'll try to cooperate but I'm no Mr or Ms Olympia like Arnold!😛

Very proud you are keeping on with your March toward health! This is going to be a wonderful. 6 month journey, Jonnie!😛

Sort of like the young boy who told his cousin while dancing with her at dancing class. "For a fat,girl,you don't sweat much!" he undoubtedly thought it a wonderful compliment. The fact he probably is still alive is because he didn't say it to me. I would have knocked,him backwards onto his scrawny buttocks! 👊

Normally once you have,a solid data you'll move ahead great. I am the exception, nut soon I will overcome and this time will be the right time for Frustr8 and I will turn into Me Happy Camper, although I'll still keep my pen name!😷🏣SOON!

Crazymama such wonderful news. May the July 11 27th be your anniversary,of Good Things forever!😛

Mazel Tov Tanyamann32. Bariatric wise,definitely the Promised Land!😎

Ooh you'll be sooo smooth it won't matter any more. The impatient and bitchy, no guarantees, but if you are, be like Hank Williams Jr, just sing out " It's a Family Tradition!" ✌😛

Yeeps I've been on Wellbutrin several months, does this mean I have the potential to be a Horny Honey? Hokay, there will be several men my age in Central Ohio that will die,happy happy men. You've heard of Typhoid Mary,? I may become Infarct Ida! Hello Sailor!😎✌

Yeah baby, like Austin Powers says Let's look at your pretty pictures!😛

And I will add right surgery* right time * right reason* for the right person* YOU And the right outcome at the end.! 😛👍

Well tell him above ground grill,this summer. but fire pit for summer 2019! He can be Grillmaster,of the Year then ⬆😛⬆

Oh honey, bless your❤. You've come down from all that hurray bureau I've had my surgery high and you're starting to hit the wall. From what I've heard on here it is very common, although I'm sure that's of little comfort to you. Be gentle and kind to yourself, don't push yourself too hard, if it were me I'd be a bad one. I'd try to overdue right afterwards. Remember your body is in a WTF mode, it's as bewildered as you by all the changes. I had a mini-level yesterday, but this one's mostly my Fault. As I've told EVERYBODY I have an important appointment on Thursday as the next step towards my own surgery. The last few days I've tried to be meticulous with my diet, and call me vain but I increased my exercise level hoping to melt off some more weight. I ended up exhausting myself into low blood sugar. I just want them to look favorably on me as a Bariatric surgery client. I've started using a protein shake a day to see if that helps,.According to My Fitness Pal I can eat up 1800 calories daily and still lose weight, I've been averaging 1100 to 1300, and the pounds are not disappearing. Guess it is more complex than calories in, calories out. I don't always eat too much until supper, even then it is small portions, don't eat big like I used to, usually protein, veggies, and tossed salad with small dressing on the side. No soda, cut out carbs as much as possible, infrequent coffee or reg. tea. It's becoming a chore but I so want to succeed. Maybe the dietician Thursday will have some more good tips.

Well it's happening finally, so happy for you. Keep on, you're going to make it to a new life.

I know you will. Use your hungry to stay motivated, remind yourself how far you've come and you're not going to stop when you are so close to the finish.Put your climbing gear,on, you ll,make it over the mountain and think,of the pretty valley you get,to,live in soon.

There has got to be an enterprising WLS veteran that can. come up,with something useful yet cute. Like an expansion bracelet with a cute sleeved stomach design where there would be a flat engraved plate? 🌝

I feel like all the clothes I'm wearing are all tired, worn and dated. I may end up dumping all in the trash, no I wasn't raised to be wasteful, but I purposely didn't update my wardrobe because I don't know how much longer I'll be this size. It is hard to be passionate. when this has stopped and started so many times, can I still,believe in it all? it gets rough whe your friends that started later get their surgeries sooner. Oh yes I am happy for each and every one of them, but a. little jealous voice inside mutters " It should have me, yes, me! Isn't it my. turn now?" and most of the time I can stuff "whiney willie-jean" back down in her cave, but she has a habit of bobbing back to the surface. And she is jealous, unbelievably jealous of the whole proceedings. And it's now 1:30 in the morning and perhaps tomorrow will bring something good for me. Nite Nite Everybody!😪👓
