Frustr8

And Good Good Luck to each and every one of you guys! Keep us updated!

So did all the Mexican sleeve surgeries go well? Don't believe we have heard from you guys yet!

Has anyone tried Cordyceps mushrooms as a health food? Friend told me good for heart and vascular health, regards tumor growth and helps with endurance. Is it a total waste of money or are there benefits?

Wonder how either vodka or tequila would be with that Wild Strawberry from Crystal Light or the Equate equivalent? Maybe a more Bariatric MARGARITA? ??

Last night I had 1/4 wrapless taco, Precious Pouch was so astonished she forgot to puke. Maybe Power to the Plump Princess and I will be on a roll ! Might sneak a little,more into today, made with finely ground lean meat fr9m my local good meat market, IGA, Wal-Mart and unless I buy Angus at my local Krogers,,, it regurgitates also. I know I I'm usually am hurting for protein, that why shakes and I are still steady- dating. Finally found a line that doesn't make me grimace badly.

And please believe it WILL get Better,cstill hanging on to the Hope Rope, and yes I have lost. Down 104 pounds since my RNY, seeing Onederland ahead. Not the footpath I would have chose, but it is what it is, I am not a wimp but a survivor, every scar I have is a challenge I have surpassed, I was stronger than each one and I will be an ultimate winner!?

And every day, in every way, yourw healing, getting better and my case getting cuter. My inner cute is starting to resurface. I feel better about ME and it is starting to show!

Doubt you can hide very much from a Good Bariatric Surgeon, by now they HAVE HEARD it all!

A great line from one of my Motivation apps. I just found your ? nose, it was right in the middle of my business! Shame they don't realise things are on a need to know basis, if they don't know already, than surprise, THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW!

Ignoring you like she did befire, Shane she is just learning what a neat individual you really are! Some people are just so shallow, they look at what they can see. never give a chance to know our Viking 0424, and they are poorer for it!

Know a little bit of how you feel, been on the same basic level of diet for 10 months nearly due to strictures, ulcerations, only blessing was I am negative for H Pylori. Ask,my Bariatric Dietician just the other day " Will I ever grow past puree and Mechanical Soft diets?" Roy just laughed, yeah I have a Male Dietician, but he's still believing the day Will come! And he told me to stop centering on what i can't do and be grateful for all the good facets of my post- surgical life. I am thinner, more able to move around, and so I am in a much better place than I was Spring 2018.

Well maybe some of us just don't assimilate things as well as others. I have been on prenatal vitamins with iron from the very beginning, take additional Ferrocite, long past menopause and still required an Iron INFUSION in March. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? One of the ways I can tell when I am getting low is I feel sluggish and complain that I AM COLD!

And don't wait until you are old and gray like me. Well I never did gray but I am older than the average bear. And although my surgery should give me more than a few extra years, I wasted so much time sad, obese, and willing to settle for so little. You are smart to do this. so much younger in life!

And as the old Carnival barker was reputed to say " You pays your money, you takes your choice!" Think things through, decide what works best for you, maintain a firm commitment to see everything to the conclusion. Know what is working best for me, but we are all are similar in some thongs, differing in others. But we all want the best results possible!??❤?

Not too expensive when you consider what you're getting. Remember Alex is one of us, went from lap-band to MGB, didn't come in all this from corporate greed but to find the best things for us and himself too. I have placed several orders with the Bariatric Pal store, products are good, shipping is prompt, and you know he would not stock items he. would not give himself or his family or others he loves.

And much,as I hate telling you to dull your diet down, start dropping spicy foods and such, see if it makes a difference. Your sleeve may be crying inside " Please treat me a little more tenderly I'm just a little slender critter!!"

May it all good smooth for you @sassskin, looking forward to go reports from YOU!

DON'T BE DOWN! Even when you don't rapidly drop pounds you will drop inches. And it's All Good! Remember sometimes you are not a Race ? Car but a Jalopy ? chug-a-chugging along. We still get to our goals, it is an eventual process but it does happen. And sometimes slow and easy is,better for,YOY in the long run!

Many of them you are able to cut back or drop. As you lose weight your body will need them less and less. FYI you are not Too Old! I am 73, 8 and a half months out, had some weird things happen to me along my journey but never would. I go back to slowly dying with obesity and all the sorrow it entailed for me. I have now lost 150 pounds from my highest weight, 104 pounds since my RNY last September 5th, just about ready to go into an 18 from my 28-30W, seeing Onederland just AHEAD, will be so much happier under 200 pounds. I am now less weight than I was when I delivered my Tomkitten, my youngest and he will be 40 on June 12th. Not over-happy I now weigh 40-50 pounds less than him, bad for my Baby's ego, started making noises about Bariatric Surgery for himself. Told him I would be happy to introduce him to my Dr Bradley J Needleman at OSU, but after that the decision will be between the 2 of them. I will support him in whichever the directions end up!

Every thing you go through now prepares you for what is ahead. And a thought from Carl Jung Life Truly begins at 40, up until then everything is Research.

My late cousin's Mike had a birthday that day. The closest this only child had to a brother. 17 months younger than me, died about 5 years ago of ALS. With your surgery this year JayTissle, it will no longer be a sad anniversary for me. May your surgery go wonderfully on Monday!

Not Kate, but nasty foamy slime you throw up. Nasty to look at, worse I think to produce it. I prefer Frank Emesis, if you ever thought you would be desirable to lose a whole meal.

If you go through Ohio State University Hospital like me, you are never permitted them again Big Red lettering in my Life After Surgery Booklet. And nobody seems willing to discuss it!

My response to surgery, double washing with Gold liquid Dial, second application, leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing. Worked for my Bariatric Surgery,last September and for my own shoulder surgery. April 4th.

Take an stuffed animal or small pillow with you, it hurts a lot less to " cough" if you can splint your incisions. I'm an asthmatic so I know what I'm preaching about!??❤
