  1. I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.
  2. Let's see if Suzie the Scheduler has returned from her Christmas vacation or it she's taking New Years Eve off too? I want this endoscopy rescheduled, so it's down before the 15th, other doctor appointments the first two weeks of January, only have 3 or 4 unbooked days left unless I juggle things around.
  3. If you believed in the story of Santa Claus for 8 years surely,you can believe in yourself now!
  4. I now respect the woman I am, for I know the struggles I have had to become me. And I need no one to prop me up for I now stand on my. own !
  5. Tess be very very careful,with your life- always remember what happened to the original Pompeii in Italy!!!
  6. Well well,Lucky little You, I never got Cow Pies with Protein Shakes, you must have had casein or lactose intolerance, I merely went from rabbit,turds to trying to pass cement blocks, I became the twice a day Miralax Kid with an every 3rd day side course of MoM. Others warned me, but I failed to believe them . And Sqautty Potty, I've got one on order. Since I went 9n TPN it is better, can't understand it, it is ill- logical but true.
  7. No--- really no later than Valentine's Day-- you can help box but no Power Lifting for a while, my Daddy had lower abdominal surgery , being a man he thought rules and restictions didn't mean Him, ended up with a Ventral Hernia so bad his doctors told him" No Seatbelts " for the remainder of Your Life, in case of an auto accident roll onto the floorboards in a fetal ball and pray that you live through it!
  8. Many of us Bariatric People would. have smoother pathways if We only could Encourage ?Our Supporters and Eliminate?Our Detractors.
  9. And "One Size Fits All" Seldom Does!
  10. It is a whole lot easier to Talk the Talk than to Walk the Walk. Never lose sight of your Final Goal.?
  11. It is okay t9 be anxious for you are about to undertake something very very brave.?
  12. Have your surgery prior to your surgery- yo7 will be on weight restriction a minimum of 6 weeks after surgery.??
  13. Never listen to yo7r Inner Fatty- she's been peeved every since you deleted the cupcakes!?
  14. PS I use a liquid Calcium called Wellesse twice a day instead of chews, I wear dentures and don't like chewable.
  15. Every doctor has their own views on diet, their favorite acid-reducing PPI, but I'm sure it all balances out in the long run.
  16. There are several PPI that are good, sometimes it takes a little tweaking to find the one that works best for you. Most people do start out with omeprazole, didn't work for me but Dexilent does.?
  17. You cannot be too careful, this is your life you are dealing with.
  18. And for the stomach pain, is your surgeon and Bariatic team aware of this? You may need to have an endoscopy done, my own pain is from a stricture in my pouch and I also have 5+ ulcers in my upper intestine.m Although that is an usual problem withbypassers you still could have something similar. Really hope you don't, it is a far from fun thing to have.
  19. Will be watching for your postings in a little over a month from now. Are you getting excited that it finally will be happening?
  20. Yes I believe it is, early in January is my 6-month appointment with the sleep doctor, I hope Dr Mooney agrees too.
  21. Well I hope you are wrong and you will grow to accept instead of regret, but I appreciate your honesty through this all. I find you. a young lady I am glad to know. Happy 2019 and may things go better in your life.
  22. Well good things are coming in January and your surgery will be the creme dela creme of them all. May it come to pass just as you have said. Looking to see further updates from YOU.
  23. Tylenol, now and forever more. Maybe Norco with its extra added ingredient, tramadol works for me but it doesn't for everybody.
  24. H***hath no fury like me when I am slightly inconvenienced and hungry!
  25. Shouldn't but remember to take your machine with you , I left a piece of mine at home, the hospital didn't have a replacement part, I was 48 miles from home, nobody could bring it to me so I ended up having to wear oxygen the whole time I was there.
