Frustr8

I saw a bumper sticker recently " Don't reward yourself with. Food You are not a dog who learned a New Trick! " But we were stuck in Columbus afternoon traffic, wasn't going to walk on I-71 and ask where they got it! All I remember. it was a Chevy Cruze in Silver. They used to make them in Lordstown OH.

Well my guess is they will tell you to continue it for a period of time after surgery too. A lot of people are able to phase it out though within a couple months. Yeah, do follow your surgeon's lead, he knows you better than we do!?

Oh I do love steamed veggies, my late Mama- in- law threw soda in veggies, overcooked them to where they were a jaundiced yellow. Hubby told me he didn't like veggies until I steamed them, and I had to arm-wrestle to even get my share. His favorite got to be broccoli, cauliflower, baby carrots and baby onion, he'd put cheese on his, a touch of butter did me and the kids. just fine.

I haven't seen any more August 2019 yet, so you may be our Trail Guide. Welcome and may you be one of many!?

Last thing I had in the ice cream family-' Lime Sherbert. I bet now I would taste the butterfat in regular ice creams. Besides most everything in that aisle at store- Chocolate- been allergic to chocolate for 44 years- so no Siren Song for ME!?

Did you ever notice we go into Weight Loss as Omnivores- yet all the medical people we consult do their level best to turn us into Herbivores- " Eat Clean, Eat Green and center yourself around salads!" Curious, isn't it????

And remember- Daisies Don't Tell- so you don't have share any secrets you don't want to!??

Cool, the idea of yet color enhancement sounds cool. Took care of a guy at one of the nursing homes around here, his had faded to where he had only green outlines, if I invest I want one with a 5,000 mile gaurentee!

Well Healthy life 2, my ortho says I can re-exercise my operated arm, he'll sing for me to have PT at any of the facilities around here, I am starting by lifting food cans as pre- handweights, call it vanity but when I do go, and I told him, I'll tell him where I went my referall to go. You know cans of tomato juice have some weight to them, I'll give at home, then when I go, have a therapist or trainer I won't look like such a 70+ worn- out wimp. But I am going develop as much strength as my mostly shot joints will allow.

A little remember, it says Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" is she so certain she has achieved that level of perfection? I grew up in one group of Evangelical Christians, my late husband from another, I have attended so many revivals, camp meetings , bible studies and Sunday morning services, if there were Merit Badges for Christianity, mine who have a figure with their arms reaching up toward Heaven and maybe in Gold Embroidery" Hallelujah". Now I am not as radical as I once was, I try to ❤ everybody and gave over other control to God, let him do what He Thinks Best!

Sounds like a cool new thing to do, crafty but neat, bet it turned out well! I remember Orchids and Dragons saying Cheezits were her Bug-a-boo, well Tomkitten has a box of them, White Cheddar, I used to like cheese things. How could 2 little crackers hurt me? So I hollered until he brought me two, I chomped and chomped, WTF, they tasted about as good as styrofoam, spit them into a tissue and that was it! So I guess my #24 effort is I tried being sinful, couldn't even succeed at that!

Well I read that New York Times article, thank you for telli,ng us about it. I'm still evaluating what it means to me out here in Ohio, an " over the edge area of a East Coast Persons view of a Flat world" Yeah there are sure areas the resonate with me!

I wonder if this be what is causing all thesenodules to show up in my Thyroid? I know my ENT and PCP both have fondled my neck like they felt a theraputic strangling. would do me a world of goodm Now they are finding something? Was it truly there all the time or did the stress of surgery bring it out? IDK- Do You?

Green Tealael I have an FYI/TMI question. Does T Effluvium have to do with head hair only or all Bodily Hair? The later sounds pretty scary,not sure I am going to feel Gung Ho the whole way.

We do get occasional cases on here, I suspect,they are only the Icebergs tip. To a man they all say" I'm sorry I backed out the first attempt, it did give me an opportunity to know and except myself. better.than I am so glad in had it done! Wish,it had been sooner!" the majority seem to be VSG but Bypassers are also represented. I am also a Panic Attack,person,but something,odd,ihavent had more than 1 tiny since,my surgery last September, eitber,i was am more happy and satisfied with myself or it actually had a role in making,it and depressive moments to go away!???

I do take,Magnesium, it is wonderful,at preventing,muscle spasms. I believe,at least a,part. is Stimming, that's not something you willfully do. It relieves the tension the ?has given us. The few I have dicussed this. " later than usual " diagnosis, most medical personnel, do seem,to understand, one person, I have demoted them to mere acqaintance from,active friend. Her response, was " Her you dont look retarded ! Well,of coursr not,many people who,are challenged,,intelligence look,perfectly aversge, but okay, actually,i am High Functio and have tested,high enough for zMensa, I may be Socially inept but,i,am Smart. Just a minor wrinkle that sets me apart. I tell people I am Limited Edition, never merely average. But,i do know Restless Leg, late hubby had it, it really affected his Relaxing times.

BMI ⬆40, verified sleep apnea, COPD, they allowed for secondary Prediabetes and Arthritis of ⬆✊57 years durations aBout since my insurance was PRIMARY Medicare and SECONDARY,Ohio Medicaid, the only one I needed to satisfy was,⬆40 BMI, one,of the few,benefits of being Greater than 65, and take my word, in American society that is a Perk. In Global,Society,i would be considered a Wise ? Woman , something to be treasured, instead O am considered Old as Dirt, if,i am considered at all.

I guess that makes you a June 6th lady, Samantha. Congratulations on all this, the 23rd was your lucky lucky day!

And that may just your body's way of healing with surgery and recovery. Not all of us go speed-balling through life.

exact surgery and recovery that you want and deserve to receive. God Bl3ss#

Mak3s s3nse, doesn't it! Just praying you get the x qus

Yeah don't come to Ohio, although they finally deleted the Social Security numbers off the licenses they do still put weights. Back when I was still working at Wal-Mart, my assigned area was right next to Sporting Goods so often I would go over there, and sell Hunting and Fishing ones. Guy. asked me " Why do I need my weight on my Hunting License?"I told him, if someone shoots you we'll have an easier time identifying the BODY. So many years I have claimed 250 as a weight, now that I am well below that -''I had better make an honest woman of myself!

Making The Turn Right Now!??

The standard answer Medical personnel will give you is " FECAL SOILING" Now every little girl by the time she reaches Kindergarden age has been taught what direction to wipe and all your good sense and training does not leave you when you reach adulthood. xxx's

When I went for my pre surg labs they informed me . Why ? I had my blood donor, said A rh-. my lab.s from my local hospital always states that on Page #1 of their print-outs I am given. So my insurance,had to pay for another typing, did they honestly think it could have changed during the 50 mile ride down?,Sometimes some people are strange about the strangest things.
