Frustr8

Sophie I am also a September Song, my RnY was the 5th, that being said, I am also a great fan of the cable channels FYI, HGTV and DIY, when they renovate and remodel they tear the buildings back to the support studs on the walls before they do their magic. That, my dear, is what we are doing, like the remodelers things are temporarily a big mess. And I believe that's what you and I are going through emotionally.We are rebuilding us, and we, like those houses, are going to have increased market value,be more desirable products. So as we throw our fat, pain and sorrow into a virtual dumpster, clean up our lives of poor diets, deadening our emotions with food as we once did, we are still works in progress but WOW how cool we will end up being! Iron if it's therapy, you are tidying up your best and that isn't bad at all! I live with my Tomkitten, my son, I was raging around ,scrubbing down a wall. He made a remark about raging hormones, I snapped at him " Now you know what I went through when You were a Teenager" so go iron a teeshirt and I'll scrub that spot only I can see, and WE BOTH WILL BE JUST FINE!???

See if you can find a lumbar pillow to fit in the hollow of your back. I have thought about a memory foam pillow to sit on, since I lost my rump fat it's hard sitting on chairs. But really I don't want my cushion of fat back there any more!

My sleeved friend said her son poked fun at how her tummy sounds like a toilet flushing at times, She told him " Daily I am flushing my fat away" and smiled. LOL , got to ? her positive attitude!

I wish you could have said " And you are too critical to be the working in a Bariatric Office!"

The organization is called Compassionate Friends, we have chapters in Ohio , I can't help but believe New York state has them also. Never will you make sense of what happened, but it has helped many of my friendsm

After years of f8ngernails that split and broke, my fingernails are looking good and are actually strong. Who'd have thunk it would be that way. Either it's the TPN or my healthy is starting to return. Either way, Yippee Skippee!???

Outstanding @SteveT74, may YOUR losses continue as well as you have started off?!??

Well Good luck, smooth surgery and great recovery and healing. Will you be a sleeve or bypass? Don't believe you said, but I am sure you will do just fine. And update us when your ?surgery is complete.?

Hi Grandma Sue- I'm 73 as of December 26th, an RnY of 4+months, nice to see someone my age on here! We are the Baby Boomers that make life and other things very cool!Welcome, Welcome from Central Ohio and me!

It is for opioid withdrawal, isn't it? A little easier on you than some of the others like methadone. Unless I am not remembering correctly.

So have you guys had your first appointments by now? If so, do you like your doctors, do you think you will be able to work with them? Does everybody have to fulfill the 6 months of preparation orvarevsone of you on a faster track?

And I hope will hear how everyone did soon, I want to know everything is fine NOW!

I hope we are raising the next generation of girls to love themselves better and accept that. they are worthy individuals. It will be a better world when we can do for ourselves instead of having someone put expectations of where they think we belong. I know I was so busy making others happy that I lost myself in the process. And being a soggy doormat is not a worthwhile goal.

Mousecat how did you get along with your Tuesday doctor's appointment? Been looking for an update!

Yes I also take Miralax twice a day, or I am supposed to. A couple times I only did one and I started getting the #2 roadblocks once again. And you know. what that can be!

Well welcome to you. Raven you're about the weight I was at my surgery 4 months ago and I have lost 50 pounds, I am also 5ft8in but a whole lot older. I turned 73 the Day after Christmas, so just about the oldest on Bariatric Pal, makes not much difference, because I have all the joys and much of the trials of everyone else. I am a RnY bypass but I know a lot of the other procedures, especially the VSG and ESG. Is there any questions you would answered, anything I can help with? I had a very good surgery and wish that for everyone else. I live in Central Ohio, about 50 miles NE of the hospital where I had my surgery.

I have an inkling, last Friday was the 11th anniversary of my middle child and first-born son Kevin who died at the age of 31., 17 hours after he walked into our local ER under his own power. And yes, to bury a son or grandson, is a heartache you scarcely can survive. My arms ache to hold him, my ears to hear his voice and my eyes to see him alive and healthy and I know it shall never be again! ?and a hug for you all.

???

I would think your HEB would carry it, Krogers and Wally World have it, and last resort --Health Food store will.

Amen and Amen to what Bar I just said . Gives me hope I can do it also#???

No sinner today, you are getting renovated, reconditioned and realigned. Now Play Nice Darlin' , They DO have sharp objects there! Let me know how it all goes down cause I WILL BE WAITING! ? and a Big Hug Frustr8

Maybe middle ear fluid, affects balance, not too far a stretch to nausea also. You're speaking to someone still on Zofran t.I.d. 8am, 4 pm 10om. Keeps Precious Pouch somewhat subdued. I am still fighting stricture/ ulceration wars, praying for a Good EGJ on January 25th. See my surgeon later today, still on monthly visits at 4 mo 10 days, so special I stink! And I wish I wasn't!???

Well they usually do carry it, keep looking, it should still be on the "frozen" mod, at least in my local #2149.

You're too pretty to be single? You are also too pretty to be lied to, cheated upon , disrespected or ignored.

And remember lavender is relaxing, I like tea tree oil also.
