Frustr8

Amen Sistah CindiRI , meant of us are or were Big Girls, if the outside ?can't accept or praise us for what we have done, then THEY are not people I want or need in my life. Weight Loss doesn't come on a Silver Platter,You WORK and WORK SOME MORE until you achieve your goals and desires. Do I hear Another Amen??????

First calm down and 5ake a deep breath, I'm sure you're pretty prepared, just give yourself credit for getting this far! Biotene for your dry moth, GasX for gas, chap stick for your lips, your own toothbrush if you're not standard, toothpaste, deodorant, many facilities furnish these some don't. Hairbrush, didn't care much about makeup but didn't want my hair getting flat and matted in back and I was never a comb person! A notebook and pen, either to journal your feelings or write down questions you want to ask. Charging cord for your ☎, my facility said I could use theirs but never coughed one up, so I took my 10 foot one I got at Staples, Tomkitten said it was foolish money but I didn't think So! Slippers although most placesfurnish non- skid Sox they hurt me to walk very far. But then my tootsies are prone to aching and complaining. Try to tie up loose ends at home, leave foods for spouse, animals and kids. I felt crappy enough if house hadn't been relatively tidy I would have tried to get up and do something and torn something loose in ME. And then relax your mind, your body, keep peace and hope on your ? , believe in your surgeon, believe in You and Darlin' You'll Do Just Fine! But keep us updated, You Hear? Love and Prayers??Your Frustr8

Gosh thanks Marina ?, I'm already at risk of Mg depletion,was even. before my BYPASS so definitely will remember this advice, even if I get tempted. Way back in the past, soda pop used to be the only thing that would cut the thick pre- dehydration throat mucus, I would drink reg ginger ale, sprite, or similar, haven't had colas since 1975 when I developed all those allergies carrying baby #2, delivered him but my constitution never recovered from the sensitivities.

Doesn't make sense, that's how I do know You're telling the truth, that's how my Own Things are going, leaves me and the Listening Public going Hnnh? And the rest like Uncle Si Robertson on Duck Dynasty, at least 85% factual. Oh I enjoy that Man, very funny and he views the? World on His Own Terms. Love how he went Duck- hunting in the midst of a ?attack, doctors askedhime WHY? He said Opening Day of Duck Season only comes Once a Year! Lucky for us and HIM he did survive!?Sorry, I don't have shotgun or rifle emjoi on My Phone!

I think I'll follow this thread 'cause you bring up something that might trouble me in the future. I actually am not due for colonoscopy until 2022 in theory, since normally it's every 10 years of you're healthy. But alas I was all smooth and uninterrupted the way My GOD created me in September/October 2012, cannot make That Claim anymore, can't I? And with my clouded upper endoscopic history NOW I have more spots than an Appaloosa. I figure it's just a matter of time that one of my myriad of surgeons, and I wonder since Ohio State University Hospital-Wexner Medical Center is a teaching hospital maybe I serve as a BAD EXAMPLE in one or two of the Medical School courses? Long long title but YOU OUGHT see their campus! I swear they have a hospital or section for almost anything Man is prone to develop. My recent hospitalation, I call it incarceration because I Was There for 7 and quarter days, beginning to think I might be there as a Research Dummy, accent on 2nd half, I was in Doan Hall, who was Doan ? IDK, maybe a benefactor with more money than Good Sense? but the main section of the Hospital, where admissions et al is, that's Rhodes Hall, named after James Alan Rhodes one of Ohio' s former( I remember him, actually met him when I was President of Knox County Teen-aged Republicans, a really nice person and had a daughter just my age) maybe I shall win the Piwerball or Mega Millions and endow me a building MYSELF! Hmmn, the Frustr8 Bariatric Patient bulding for the Chronically Bewildered, yep does have a? Ring to it!!! Anyway a Proctologist or Gastroenterologist is going to get a Bright? Idea, "Lets Go Plumb Frustr8' s hind quarters" and it will be Hello Fiber-optic Tube? My question, the Mag Citrate power cleanser through me, faster, slower, same duration of time or can it not be used at all? Inquiring Future Victim Wants To Know!?????

Well I did once lose that much in one day, but I had to deliver a 9.5 pound baby boy? to do it, Praise God ?I'm not doing THAT no more.?

Well Hi from a second- semester Freshman, 3 months. today! Hoping? to grow into Sophomore in March!?

hey mi75 is probably correct .See with sleeving the doctor would have turned you into a digestive garden hose type affair. With a sliding hernia it could slide up up and down until (worst case scenario) you have more sleeve stomach up in your chest where it Does not belong instead of in the abdomen where it does belong. Things get twisted, and I won't have my G sleeve after Fifty' s companionship on line, and I l8he you. He or She is trying to keep your best health interests at ❤.

Come to Bypassland and Kangarooville and visit me÷A lot of n8ce people there. Do you know why we are Kangaroos? Because we all now have pouches! And you still won't have had 3/4 of your stomach thrown into the surgical trash.You're all there, just a little rerouting of the piping. And I have had the torture-side of RnY, if I can remain positive , believe in its ultimate rightness, have hope for my own healing, you should fare well. If not, honey you've got ME, I have paid and am still paying my dues. Going home this aftern9on after a weeks hospitalization with a PICC line in my upper left arm and will have TPN every evening until my ulcers heal down, wasn't getting sufficent protein per ? mouth. And I am upbeat- know my surgeons are ordering this so my body can do its repairing. Could be out before Christmas and my Birthday( December 26th) not the gift I requested but at least it's custom- tailored for me! And Life is different but still So So Good!

I have a good gal-pal from Clarence Center, a Buffalo suburb. I call her my Buffalo Oriole, looks like a Baltimore one but has an extra set of water wings. Someday she's taking me there since I've shown her my Ohio haunts. I think Clarence Center is where they had that bad plane crash a few years ago.✈

A tiny whiny would be better than the bushy tushie I still have, but day by day I am pruning it down! I may never be be a Tealael or Chix but I can be a Fine tuned Frustr8 any that's cool in it's way!

What-t-t? Bariatric Surgeons usually fix such things during the surgeries. You need Sherlock Holmes on this case! Paging Dr Holmes!

Happy 3 months to ME Happy 3 months to ME Happy 3 months of getting thinner Happy 3 months to ME My exit weight after this hospiti,/incarceration, well that's what it feels like after a week, 259,6 pounds, pretty good when I had a High Weight of 366 in October 2017. And the next. 75 down, hard work ahead but achievable. One of the few times in life when someone says " You're Less the woman you used to be" that it is a Compliment. So a High 5 for me?and a prayer ??that things will continue healthily!

This is your Auntie Frustr8 in Ohio, does your Doctor know this? My radar says Endoscopy time but I'm not a Grays Anatomy star let alone the Good Doctor, both lovely shows on ABC.

You see I'm even a little scared of topical until everything heals!

Glad it is workiny out Okay, as the unhappy step- mother of a stomal. stricture and 6+ evil cranky gastic and,jejunem ulcers I th8nk you're staddling a buzz Saw Blade, but Your Surgeon,Your Choice! We're All Different in our Reactions!???

Not Meh but Meg in Arizona, sorry about my spoiled rotten Smartphone, honestly keyed in Correct Name!

So Meh I hereby rename your Problem- ATSAD. Atypical Timing Seasonal Affective Disorder, not the lovely PR campaign regular SAD gets but Just As Valid!

I try I try and I'm sure there are those who find me merely Trying! To Them- Pfft!

I have a rant/complaint. This is December 5th, yeah less than 3 weeks until Christmas and I'm not sleeping. Just saw an Aldi commercial on TV for the eleventeenth time. Now Aldi' s is a nice enough place, have shopped there and saved money. And this advert is saying Food=Love. How many of us found ourselves heading to Bariatric Surgery for this reason? It is difficult to recover from alcohol addiction, rougher yet to recover from drugs, but when you are a "foodaholic: it is a life-long trial to become fast-food, high calorie SOBER. And it could have gone back to the 3 bags of Aldi chocolate chips YOU THOUGHT would make you a BETTER personmvNews Flash, They didn't!???

And since raw egg could have foodie "bad things" until cooked, I would not risk that. Sure Rocky did it, but he could afford Cedars of Sinai,can you?

Praying? everything goes well for you. And no pain and sorrow in the days ahead.

You are a blessing to meet on here. I shall remember this wisdom and will remember to make compassion part of my attitude from this day forward.

butternut squash soup, i cou,t it as first thing I didn't strain. And it was Campbell's Yes or Progresso lite, can't remember which. Anyhoo it was So Very smooth, tasty and blessing from the stacks of protein shakes I had before that. Took it slow with my baby spoon, and kept it down.

Most protein waters are clear so okay. But you may want to dilute half-strength, they do taste maxi-sweet!
