wisdom my from drunk bff
That's the dirty trick classic in resturants, but it is true in our case, but it has been pulled so much by able-tummied people you just may not be believed.

If nystatin does work on it, that means it's fungal at least somewhat but I can also see⬇carbs could affect it too!

We're all getting fatter..wait what?
A lot of us were raised to believe All Food equates Love. If you fail to feed me, it means you don't Really Love Me! Now Bariatrics and Weight Loss Surgery shook things to their very core. We live in a Brave New World where the rules have changed and it is difficult to come to terms with THAT.

Pureed meat tends to be gritty, didn't care much for it without fat-free gravy or other "meat lube"

Rash?
So what DID cause it? Could it have been a reaction to the anesthesia, temporary hormone unbalance as you started to lose weigh Now you ladies have aroused my curiosity, does anyone have a theory? Trying to remember if I had it also ? ??

For people under 65, prolonged high protein might not be wise
Does this mean at 73 I can do anything I want or is it they think my body is "shot" anyway?

Surgery pain!
And I have all the pain and sorrow I didn't have immediately post-surgery now with my swollen irritated Precious Pouch and my jejunem with ulcerations, I hope all the people who I bragged to about NO Post-surgery pain are laughing about Karma giving me a good old bite. I guess Bomshells song is right KARMA IS A FEMALE ? DOG!

Still considering- Need answers please
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastro, instead of being done laprascopically the way most WLS are done these days it is done with an endoscope, so it is done from the inside, there is a whole forum on Bariatric Pal, think two places they do it prominately are North Carolina, St Louis Missouri and I think maybe Colorado. But my friend LynnV had it done in the Cincinnati Ohio area. I think they reduce the size and surface area for food absorption with internal stitching, Lynn had a very quick recovery and is doing well. Often done for people around BMI 35 that maybe don't have enough co- morbs for traditional or just prefer the convenience of not having incisions in the skin to heal. Wouldn't have worked for me, I was pretty well mandated into a RnY bypass by my conditions.

Life without NSAIDS?
Maybe you will be like my buddy Mousecat(??) and as long as it is bypassing your intestinal system it will be okay.

What is expected weight loss in pre-op diet? Anybody else had issues with menstrual due to diet?
I lost 15 pounds on my liver shrink and at 73(same day as your surgery) I have the natural metabolism of a seasick sea slug, so 10 should be in the okay range, many things may be the same, but we are all individuals, that's what makes life varied and interesting. YOU end up making your own kind of music?, if you remain true to YOU the song is never wrong! Have a Happy Life!❤?❤
