Frustr8

Ummyasmin you are supposed to be becoming a delicate Flower of Islam , not regain tree trunk size or be big as the Blarney Stone. Get off that slippery slope, you know where it's going to lead, it's still a good Saturday, get those snacks out in the dustbin where they truly belong!

Might be nothing more than extra stabilizing stitching there. If it was your stomach removing incision, it would be your deepest weakest point, they may have double stitched so you wouldn't herniate internallym If so , they usually pop free once you're healed enough. You're still less than 2 weeks out, give it say a month, oh keep an eye?on it but 8 to 5, you'll be COOL.

Maybe your Bariatric Team and a Bariatric Dietician/Nutritionist can come up with some equivilencies for YOU. I'm sure in all of New Zealand there have been OTHER CASES like YOU! Stay Strong, Stay Resolute and an Answer Will Be Found!

Even in the best intentioned and most desired surgeries there is a thread of OMG WTF did I just do to ME? Your body is starting it's healing but you're also suffering from a wounded spirit and your world? has been rocked and is quaking on its foundations. THIS IS A SHOCK! Things do get better, says the woman with a 11 week stomal stricture, but TRULY THEY DO, reach out to your bariatric team, there are people there who can help. And come on here, we too had Gloomy Tuesdays, Why did I do This Wednesdays even F*** It Fridays, we've pulled up our bootstraps, gritted our teeth and made it through. Sometimes even bariatric consouling helps.

My birthday, you're having? SURGERY on ??MY birthday! Yippee Skipee Whoo Whoo! How DID You Know it's Just What I Wanted????

Frozen sugar free POPSICLES either commercial or homemade, they've saved ME

??FOR YOU-See a weight loss isn't the Only Reward WE GIVE OUT! Congratulations on a Defecation of Joy÷÷ LOL and a BIG cheer for youn always kick out what don't Pay Rent.?

Good Luck Big MikeLa50*** Probably looks right now like you're the farthest from surgery, but as you ready yourself for your SURGERY sometimes it seems so quick. Learn, exercise, prepare, get things in your life straightened out but most of all tell yourself what a good and great thing this will be. This is an ultimate gift to You!? Forward to the Forefront in February 2019.

Like We All Choose Obesity? Just some more Fat Bashing in My Book! Bariatrics is Not a Trivial "Fun" Surgery, we often turn THERE because All Else Fails.

Someday I too will have rapid size changes, just hasn't happened yet÷

Well finally got my November 9th endoscopy and now am scheduled for Wednesday November 28th, at least I am brightening Dr Noria's daily life, not to turn the life lightbulb for me!

Any better @ m8cci_micci33? Don't want anybody sad on this fine autumnal night!

Well things are as they are- coming to,?peace with that- But I still pray? no one else has THIS happen to THEM!

So how is this Hydration Challenge doing? November is almost over, how have YOU DONE?

Have anyone made their own protein shake with skim milk, protein powder and sugar free pudding? Seems that Just Might quiet my cravings for different tastes. Gotten so sick of endless vanilla. And yes Alex B as soon as my bank account restocks, so I can afford shipping costs, I will get more Bariatric Pal shakes, the Orange Creamsicle is so very good, I'm sure there are others equally good, as long as I stay away from the Cheesecake flavor. Just can't stand it,is any way, shape or form. Might as well have,what tastes good being,on prolonged liquids for SO VERY LoNG!

And weight in earlier postings. 272 last Monday,BMI just over 40, I think 40.3 or 40,4, if I only felt better I would do a happy dance, but usually too doggone dizzy, blood sugar,i seem to run out of with these low calorie intakes.

And Green Tealael, you asked BMI

Well I guess my relatives, what remains of them, early this decade they were dropping like flies after a RAID spraying, are of 2 opinions. Either I am not losing weight, just a lying rumor that I started to get attention, or I have cancer and won't tell them about it. Well, if I had cancer, which I don't but if I did it would be,my business, not theirs. And I think 64 pounds since Summer is pretty cool. whether You do or Not. And I have a dimple in my left cheek I don't remember back when I was a thinner teenager. And my color is off? Honey we are in Ohio, not much sunlight and cold outside. You maybe were expecting a California or Florida tan?

It is so sad , "Notmyname" an October sleever and i,an early September bypass were trying tilapia the same day. Something seriously flawed here folks. I pray .N.M.N had great success, me I THINK I held it down for some body benefit, but of course last evening I was back upchucking, well it's more like burp, blurpt and urp, more like a cat with a hairball. And last night, Tomkitten is so used to hearing it, he never woke up. Might have been nice to have someone to wipe my sweaty brow, or sympathize a little. Yeah I wanted my surgery, still bottom line don't regret it. But like Judy Benjamin in Pvt Benjamin , this is NOT THE ARMY I joined! I believe I signed up for the rapid weight loss, possibility of dumping with carbs, improve your health, extend your years model, surely,not the model I got this time! I got the Bang, Clang, Thump Thump Puke Puke variety. And I guess there are no returns, I do see Dr Noria, my surgeon's Junior Partner every 2 weeks for an endoscopy, but I haven't set eyes on Dr Needleman since mid September. He could be off on a fishing trip for all I know. Does he know( or care) about my problem?

Thank you, this seems such a long time like this. Once I feared open surgical repair, now I think I would. welcome it! " Doctors , I am broken, PLEASE fix me today!"

Well I was a nicer person today, made and put in a baby ( 1 2/3 pound) meatloaf for Tomkitten . He's holding out hope I will eat one small slice with him. Couldn't find any regular tomato sauce so dumped on tomato low- calorie soup, figured basically close enough. A criss-cross of bacon on top, even if I can't eat any it will make the house smell nice. And if no meat, I can scoop some tomato soup off the sides and feel like I'm still in the loop. Was going to make scalloped potatoes but that was more my thing to eat than his. He would take a baked potato or some mashed . Don't have much desire for white potatoes, maybe sweet potatoes or winter squash? And as long as there is a green salad, there is joy in his ❤.

Get mental picture of. you in wedding dress, hubby behnd a wall, "Oh look folks , there's PammySue and her blocked -head husband."

Oh Goody, I am old but since weight losing it is looking GOOD, IDK why this is, but I shall accept it for all it is worth!

Dayum now I know what animal I am--- a Lady Sloth! Now to lose 1/3rd of my body weight every ?, at current rates that would be 90 pounds, not too shabby! RIGHT?

Well 207 I can see, 2013,i cannot. But all teasing aside, you are shaping into one righteous handsome dude!
