Frustr8

Except the fact that they have little food value, swim in sodium laden broth and come in weird nasty funny tasting flavors, ramen noodles are just LOVELY,

I would prefer noassatall disease to baby-you stillgot-toomuchrump syndrome. As I have told before my rotten paternal cousin Anthony circled me,said,You still look too fat! I said Of course, I HAVEN'T HAD SURGERY YET! As a matter of fact I haven't even started my,liquid prediet, you were expecting,instant deflation perhaps? Glad I DON'T see him often, anybody have a large pillow I can smother him with?

I am still trying to learn more, I am currently on non-chewable prenatal vitamins because I do need the Fe(iron) post- menopausal but iron-deficient to the edge of Frank anemia. I like my little hard-covered caplets, no indigestion from them, going to be a SAD parting when they,go away. Never did care much for those hard to chew flavored vitamins. I am a denture wearer and if they insist on switching me I see a pill grinder,and a large jar of unsweetened applesauce or a gallon container,of low calorie Cool Whip to put that in. Right now I take the prenatal, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium. citrate, I take wellesse Liquid and I have additional iron tabs in reserve for how my next blood test fares. And then we have my usual regular type meds, 7 different varieties to squeeze,in. Right now I have 2 kinds that kind of feud. I have Depakote for migraines and Wellbutrin to keep me calm and placid until (and maybe after) surgery. Depakote causes Wellbutrin to build up in your system, and since my poor NASH liver is peeved enough I'm trying to make IT reduce in size and fattiness, I don't want to rock that boat🚣 Oh, I'll get through this all. many have before,me and many afterwards will also. Don't have time to add any more other outside activities, too busy juggling Pills.💊🍶💊

Abbreviated in Bariatric Land as YMYC. Another one for the lists 2 BARI-Buds are compounding. At any rate, there are 2 schools of thought on which is better in the long run for people. Know what I am planning, know what 2. other classes of Bari-seekers and currently,no one,i know personally,are planning a lapbad. Did know of one, the local surgeon who was doing Bariatrics as well as General Surgery, had someone die,on her table, not sure which variety of surgery was being performed but since this is only a community hospital with small-town, small-minded values she left,town in disgrace. She had done an proceedure on me in 2012, I liked her personally and had no qualms about her abilities, she did right by me. And of course this is all I do know, tried to explore the rumor, but "wagons are being circled" nobody claims to know anything and I got a stiff "SHE is no longer with US" for my troubles. They had started with lap-bands and Sleeves here locally,Thanksgiving 2017, although some were completed the program is shut down for a year, possibly into 2020 when they complete a Family Health center annex to my community's hospital and they expand to more than 3 G .Surgeons, certainly no one remaining are touching bari- patients MMNNM( short for Makes Me No Never Mind) I was going to Columbus in the first place, my body requires an RnY to make me All Better, and I KNEW it would not be offered here, if ever. So that is our" Little Tempest in a Teapot" in my little town, and as Pual Simon so musically stated " nothing but,this Dead and Dying in my little town. A crying shame,because this is a pretty🌱🌷🌱🌻🌱 green lovely section of MidAmerica.

But as someone whose weight has bounced up and down so many times over the years, that her middle name should have been Trampoline. You won't have a Happy Life until you commit to surgical intervention. EVERY TIME I LOST WEIGHT FROM MY TUMMY IT CIRCLED AROUND AND GOT ME IN THE BEHIND! I even categorized myself as having an Daisy Duck Upsweep back there! My older son when I would carry him in a Gerry Backpack would stand up,on the footrest which laid on top of the" upsweep". If I didn't move fast enough for his tastes he'd stomp his feet. Ah the memories, he grew up and became suddenly my ANGEL SON at 31 when he died of an unsuspected heart and circulatory defect. If I had a clue what someday would have happened I would never stopped his stomping!💦💦💦😪

So @YoYoGirl-- roughly $121.00---guess I can dig that!📝💊📝

I don't know if this. Will be helpful but just might be. Get in touch with your local Children's Hospital. I am sure they have an Adolescent Medicine Department, they may be able to give you referrals to consulers willing to work with young ladies like your daughter. I live in Central Ohio, thought I had lived long enough to know a lot about a lot of things. I just found out recently my nearest Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus has an Adolescent Bariatric Medical department and one of my Bari-pals @ mercmerc who had a VSG at,13 recently had a RnY gastric bypass in her early 20s done there. And her director of Bariatrics was assisted by,my future surgeon Dr Needleman from Ohio State University, was done July 25th and she's doing pretty dog-gone good! So there's some info and I hope you'll be able to do the best for your daughter. PS You are a Wonderful mommy and she's lucky to have YOU!

How MattZ? I dont' seem to have any real abilities running on the Android Beta style app Ken S convinced me I needed. Have never attempted righting it on a normal computer, figured if I did it would technologically snicker at me, say " you are already using another device, you cannot,use 2 at once" then I have to sign out of here, hope Bariatric Pal will accept me on an additional device which it may not , try to to remember my password to sign back in. if I was electonically brilliant, I wouldn't be in this stew anyway. Remember while you younger people are zipping along I am at a virtual" one finger hunt and,peck stage" Saying,GD I KNOW I can do this if it starts making sense soon!💦Tears of Frustration👎

Oh Chugging🚝 right along. Tomorrow I start my prediet for,my September 5th RnY, we will find out if the statement " What does not kill me can only strengthen me: holds any credence. But I do want a smooth surgery that helps Ser me on my way toward a better life. It has to be an improvement from sitting obese and in pain , waiting daily for the Death Angel to claim me as his Own. That is a SAD way to have to exist and now I have hope that no longer will be my fate. So some tears💦so n e sorrow but there will be 🌞Sunlight ahead!

Crying💦 And wish I could reach and hug you. So SORRY for what has happened to YOU.

Slow and Steady👣 will win you that endurance race!

An axing transformation, do hope this doesn't mean someone is going to get a🔨" hatchet job!" 👈😪👉

Hunh didn't I read somewhere @ sinderliny that you can't. take iron and calcium at the same time as your multivitamin , something about cancelling each other out? So are you sure this is the right way to go? Hate for anyone to waste their $, they are so hard to come by!😘

G'day to you in Oz from me in the USA. Don't see you on here much anymore, nice seeing you again!😝🌈😝

Any updates after a year has elapsed,@ Melody Branson and @ SydneyJonno? you both had quite a story to,tell!👈😘👉

And any updates now that it is almost August? Does the fairy-tale romance😘 continue, are you still happy and content @ Britteny H?😂

And to go with Joe Dirt "Women love ME, they really love ME! " Deuce Bigalow, American Gigalo aka Rob Schneider.

And since t want maximum good results fo rmy surgery, more " bang for my,buck"if you will, I have commited myself to 4 weeks meticulously following the prediet OSU feels is proper for a " female weighing under 400 pounds". although when I see myself or think about how much I still weigh it is scary at my age. If it had been. hand-written I might have thought,I a non- subtle dig at my poundage, but no, it is nicely printed so there must be other " portly princesses" doing,exactly,this diet. Since I don't know them, have their phone numbers or e-mail addresses, when I get sad, mad, frustrated , ready to give up, you, my bari- friends will be the first to hear about IT. Oh it WILL be a long hard road, a true Dietary Purgatory, and like the Purgatory of Theological History, it is going take a lot of praying and indulgences granted before I Am,Set Free! Nobody ever said this would be all " giggles and laughs" but it is my, best chance to shrink, an NASH liver into sleek smooth sleek submission, make my surgery smoother, easier and quicker to heal from. And if Dr,Needleman is feeling kind about finding a liver like a 20 year old awaiting instead of a Hepatic Blubberpile, doesn't have to,use Industrial sized detractors to move it out of his way, he just could see fit to give me an Turkey-sized. instead of a pullet egg- sized pouch for my RnY. And I will heal so smooth, so fine that I will have be insrived in the "Annuals of. Bariatric-dom" as Ms Total Perfection! So tomorrow I plan to March into THAT DIET will all the bravery I can summon. As the late Bette Davis once was quoted " Hang on, it's going to be a BUMPY RIDE!"😥💦😥🙏🌈

It wasn't Luella Jean It was Luzbella, who had surgery.Luella Jean is on August along with a bunch more. KcGirl061, kcoley, Snowmaker65, sairiejack, ladybosschick, all of these August6.

LuellaJean was today, mercmerc and Laura7 were July 25th and Brina1980 was May 14th. That's all I know right now.

And I'm looking forward to mine on September 5th, maybe I'll have as good a results as @ Mattymatt, maybe not, I won't be sad because it beats hollow the way I have been , tired and obese and in pain. If I can achieve betterment of 2 of 3 that will be nice and 3 out of 3 would be wonderful. The journey has been mine, the victory,will,be also. And if I can befriend a few people, make their journeys better, I will be absolutely thrilled. Many,have helped me on here, now I move forward to help others!😝🌈😝

And if you need emotional. support, we are always here on Bariatric Pal. You are never all alone as long,as you have friends and you are among a bunch,here. Reach out whenever you need us, okay?👉😝👈🌈

And I like sorbet 🍧better than fatty old🍦 ice cream anyway!😝

At my age I would doubt I could even do a quarter- marathon, but maybe, just maybe I could. There was a time when I felt defeated when I hit roadblocks in my Bariatric Journey, but I overcame that and even if it is. a dream, dreams do come true with a little help. And surgery, may help that dream come true. New 🌎worlds to conquer, more places to go, don't count me out for life is not over yet!😝

@Drealeeanne should be having her surgery today, I remember seeing all things she was going to pack in her hospital bag. I hope she and all the other July30th baripals had good successful surgeries and are waking up, sipping and learning to handle their new tummies. With every day I get closer to mine, I love reading each account,it makes it so much more real for me. Good Luck and Good Healing to all, no matter,where you might be!💊😝🌈❤
