Frustr8

Well I just went into my profile, tried to update it, Ken and Alex once promised to fix the Phone App. so it would work as well as going in from personal computer. Things I tried correcting Weight-199, first surgeon appointment 7/17/2018 Hospital O.S. U. Columbus Ohio Surgery Date 9/05/2018 Surgeon Bradley J Needleman MD, it did have my goal at 175, that's true but when I attempt to correct the rest it's like Teflon, nothing sticks, everything sl8des off into oblivion. If our Electronic Gurus would only fix it A MAJOR NSV in my life!

Laughing with You not at You! Sounds so familiar to me and the rest!

pineapple I craved- found some packed in juice- ate my 1/4 cup of crushed- so sweet, so nice!

Well I'm sure they just loved ME, I was twice the size I should have been to be considered Healthy. I was dragging around an NFL linebacker extra on these 70+ year old bones. No w9nder 8 ached and whimpered so much. But now I have lost my faithless NFL guy, down 170 pounds from HW, 120+ since SW on my Day of Days. Right at point Surgeon EXPECTED but I believe I shall stay the course, even if I feel neglected, nobody from there has checked on me in a month or 6 weeks, maybe they're praying I'll die off? Well Flup You guys, the Frustr8 Wagon has not stopped running quite yet, when 8 visit you on August 14th, you have a SURPRISE coming!".I'm already in Onderland, BMI 31+ b7t I was 52 when You Guys first saw me, did it without an encouraging word from all of You, did not care to be told I was crazy by one of your Junior Grade N.P., and I'll be happy to express this "Face To Face", Lived too long, tried too hard to be put down like THAT!

Not exactly but similarly I had gall bladder symptoms. during my last pregnancy. OB-Gyn argued with me, had multiple excuses for the pain. I was right, he was wrong, General surgeon took it out when Tomkitten was still a baby. Yeah, I think you were wise to have it done, now get your Healthy back because this Autumn will be bringing you a Life Change too! God Bless and I wish you the Best NOW and also THEN!

Yeah and they have another one almost as cute for RNY bypass, wish I had thought of it myself, if I were your BFBP (BEST Future Bariatric Patient) if would be tickled to death with such a thoughtful gift! Do you realize with YOU going first, you get to mentor her? A journey shared is always less frightening.?Best Wishes to You Both, update us when you can, okay?

And my Good Wishes go out to you as well! 3 Months from now you will he grateful you completed your preparations, had your surgery and comitted to a better life. AND IF YOU DO HAVE PAIN ITS OKAY because it does not last and your future awaits you now!

And I wonder why when I had an Iron INFUSION in March, nobody ordered another blood lab in June? And before my INFUSION, my iron was 27, should there not be a little bit of curiousity to find out whether I need more? Most research I have done says " should be re-done quarterly" 4 times a Year? Sounds like every 3 months to ME!??? And I looked up TIBC, I guessed right, Total Iron-'Binding Capacity or Transferase Iron-Binding Capacity. The rest of these were never shared with ME, ______I'm only the patient, ____Let's Keep Everything Secret, shall we? Yoohoo, see the hand ?waving over here? I DO FEEL A VESTED INTEREST IN IT ALL!

Maybe you were Flaming Youth in disguise! Congratulations on now being able to Melt!

Well you know I can be a strange little bug- one of my secret vices was strawberry ice cream with peanut butter swirled in- pre-surgery. Might try duplicating with strawberry protein powder because I am very allergic to chocolate! Thanks for the idea Grady ? Cat!

So far I know of you and Big Ange for August, but many more will be joining YOU!❤

Probably so, but I'll put in a little prayer for you anyway! Bet you will be just fine and dandy!

Will want to hear more of your story and if it turns out to be September 5th, that is my one-year Surgiversity and I would be honored from now on to share That Date with YOU!

Well I am a happier camper tonight. TODAY I bought my first pair of Junior-sized Capri leggings. Okay, they are a 19 but in the NSV world we live in thats a Big ✌ Victory. Did not have to jump up and down to get into, didn't have to lie down on a bed to pull up or zipper them. Don't laugh ,my peeps, but they slid right on smoothly. Just enough snugness that it was like shapewear and smoothed my blobby globby thighs into smoothness, and if I say so, I look pretty good. Now I want another pair, these are red like a bandana, maybe a navy blue or grey Heather? Less than $4 in price, so wouldn't strain my budget to buy another. And back when I was a 28-30 W I would never believe I could achieve this before my 1st year was up. Don't know if I'm brave enough to wear them out in public, even though I have seen people who must have been dressed by someone who hated them severely. But even if I am at the upper edge, I once again am a Junior-sized person. Yippee Yahoo!

Well welcome @Superpharm01, I hope you'll be with us for a Long Time, any questions? Feel free to ask them and we will all try to help.

Yeah nobody mentioned anything about ulcers and stricturing in my pre-surgery classes. Maybe it's rare but it happened to ME!

And I want to see our pal out in the garden with a small butterfly net, cricket- hunting ! Quick, to your right, I think I see one! LOL
