Frustr8

Truth be known, very few of us do sleep much the night before. Not so much fear or Apprehension but the final realisation that nothing with your body will ever be the same!????

Wow thanks AZhiker, you are making me Brave Enough to try branching out! Thank You Again!

Different ---but does sound tasty!

And continue to grow your own Happy Moments as you go! And as for a mantra, do you remember Early Saturday Night and John Belushi? Chee- bugga, Chee-bugga- Rah Rah Rah! There you go---- your very own cheer!!!

Well Wonderful and Happy Occurances for you, Sheribear68, and may they never cease. The World?is a better place with you in it!

Much like Welfare not being fair and you don't well with it, Slimfast neither works fast nor really makes you that Slim. Like you younger ones say: WORD!

Also leave a copy of passwords with someone you can trust. My older son , the one who now is a angel, was our family computer guru, had a horrid time accessing things because He Took Them with HIM.

Well this is Wonderful News to hear and may everything move well for you from now on!

Ah Fluffy Says Fork It, even the Bible says "This too shall pass" maybe in an unrecognizable form but what comes in after surgery ultimately leaves!

So is butternut squash, sweet potatos and even pumpkin. A little Google, a little YouTube and a lot of Bariatric Pal also Pinterest. There are recipes tasty but yet not too bad for you. Its worth the Search!

We lost our Fat Layer, we lost our insulation, we are now at the mercy of every strong breeze! Please Elmer, don't breathe on ME, you're giving me Goosebumps!

Somewhat akin to me going into Wally World or another department store and not taking the largest size on display. I am having some fun going from 20 to 18, BIG BIG SELECTION- and another good point- I originally had targeted size 15 Junior, at 18 it truly is Just Over The Horizon! And Sniff Sniff? I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD GET CLOSE, really was something I told PCP and surgeon to take them off my Trail! Now it could and probably Will Happen!

Like Gulb Glub, Baby, Glub Glub?

I used to think I had no abdominal muscles left, then Surgery, Surprise They were still there and somewhat peeved at what i,put them through! Yeah the set-up analogy is good but I felt like I had been attached to an industrial robot and He Flexxed me past normal human endurance especially when attempting getting up and lying down. Yee-ouch!!!

Just tell yourself in your mind " They are all just going on holiday! When they return, our relationship will be different, just on an More Adult Basis!" And it is amazing how much better it is and how little of anything it takes to fill YOU up!!!

I'm not Green Tealael, Orchids and Dragons or Fluffy Chix, what I am is just plain old Frustr8. But nothing stops me from being the BEST FRUSTR8 POSSIBLE!

A general surgeon did one of my endoscopies, came out Looney as heck, sore throat, sore chest, felt drunk for a day and half, don't k,ow if he gave me enough sedation to perform a hysterectomy, but learned my lesson. Bariatric Surgeons or gastroenterologist from now on, when I tried to talk to him about my reactions he was NASTY, basically told me to shut my ? mouth. He'll Never Touch my body again!

Yeah I can Relate!

Yeah I now sport a D.A. had one of these back in the late 50s when I was a young teenager, will it grow into a mullet? We will just have to wait and see, someone yesterday said I looked cute and my hair was curling and waving a lot! Not sure where their keeper was but either their mind or eyesight was fading fast! People in their 70s usually aren't CUTE, I still. am convinced I look like a moulting Bird!???

And PS , turned on the Weather Channel, woman on there talking about barbecuing. Her last name is Porshe- Smith, honey --she is still Big as A Buick. But I am feeling benevolent enough to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe SHE is fighting HER OWN BATTLE TOO! ???

And nothing beats being slimmer in a Warm Season! Always felt like they were playing " Baby Elephant Walk" as I tried passing by. I SHALL EVEN WEAR SHORTS THIS SUMMER! Maybe Lulu Hogg instead of Daisy Dukes, but my day shall still COME!

Let us know if it does turn out We are All going to be God- Aunts and Uncles, okay?

Go to Ensure High Protein, Protein Max or even Glucerna, even if you're not Diabetic it will work! And it does come in Butter Pecan ( if. you are in the US) as Well as other "loverly" tastes. I got so bored with the standard flavors but then I have had to remain on those p.s. an inordinate amount of time!

I need to go, not only do my hips hurt this AM, even my finger joints hurt too! Getting Old is not as much fun as I expected!???

And is he now Treading Water Somewhere? Or perhaps, having a Recovering Wife will be Punishment Enough! Don't have a Husband anymore, but I do have a Son, had to take over some of the functions! Tomkitten would tell You,it is Minor Miracle he did not go Bald or at least, go Gray! I was a Stormin' Norma for a while! Oh I could look pale and Wan in public but behind the scenes it was Katie Bar The Door! Instead of Calgon Take Me Away, it was" Save Me PLEASE Save me!" He would have joined the French Foreign Legion if he could have found an application and be able to read French! I can, 5 years of the Language but C'est Dommage , I WOULD NOT HELP anybody at that point! But it has been 9 and a half months, he has f8nalky come out of hiding and His Nervous Twitch is getting much better! LOL, you will live, if not, post- death is Not Painful! Much Love to You All-----Frustr8
