Sadness
You deliberately rotted your GallBladder? Gosh I never guessed you had such powers, maybe I had better keep such a friend in my arsenal. I couldn't imagine her dancing around singing Serves You Right!. A bad GB is a miserable thing and she,thinks it was part of the Master Plan? Well I wonder what she is planning on you doing next? Well I am proud of you, you have had some rotten reverses and you kept on going and basically stayed sane through it all. And a lesser woman would not have. You are Mountaineer proud, Mountainer Strong ?and I do salute you!

When did you really start to see results?
Becoming an adult was one of the dumbest things I ever did but having RnY surgery was one of the smartest. And in the long run I believe the second will benefit me more!

Your new tiny tummy will rule you for quite a while, but once the two of you make your peace, you'll be grateful for her restriction. I have had a rough road myself, but I would not go back to before.

❤Summer Body Routines❤
Well it is snowy outside in Ohio, not gonna March out and fall on my tookus, bust a bone or two. But Spectrum, the former Time Warner has a low impact senior citizen.exercise program , lasts about 12 minutes. Surely I can start with that, even if I don't make it to swimsuit quality I can enough that I look passable in Bermuda or Jaimaca Shorts. And that's a plus right there!

A thread for when Umm Yasmin wants to add marginally relevant comments about stuff
And if we have even one or two drops of Irish blood, we have an inate fondness for that Soft Green Isle. And I'm Irish enough my sons names were Kevin and Bryan. Kevin I sang Kevin Barry to as a song I rocked him to, poor Bryan got The Rising of The Moon. If you are familiar with neither ask your Hubs, bet he might even sing them for you!

Dietician Stuff...help me not be a jerk...
And Kimmie K, would you believe it? Even with my TPN, where I am on a liquid IV diet, I have my own special dietician? Her name is Kelly, we talk at a minimum, once a week, and she is very very nice and a great resource person.

stricture problem or just food sensitivity
Somebody asked how can I be cheerful. with ulcers and an stomal stricture? Well why not? I still believe this is a condition I will grow past, I am not a victim but a survivor through all of the twists and turns and maybe my? story will give others hope.?? for their own futures.
