Frustr8

I am 5ft8in and 323. I am young enough at heart that I have a pair of cut off bib overalls, if I were average sized. you might call them DaiseyI Dukes. Since,i am a hefty Hubba Bubba Honey I call mine Lulu Boggs and I do,not wear them to the grocery but I do garden in them at home. By next year,I do plan a pair of Bono Fide Daiseys --even if they are more Bermuda length . A girl does get to have an occasional dream, doesn't she?

Congratulations JitterbugPerfume on that good weight loss, you just may fade away before our very eyes. I Hade faith you would do it!😛👍

Proud of you ---Texas Mommy! Living proof that ---'Nobody better Mess with Texas. They may have wounded you slightly but YOU ☑will win the WAR!🚀🌇

I did Big Viffer, this crazy phone doesnt behave too well at times, it auto corre ts words I put in correctly. Sorry#

Tell them you've been having a little trouble with your tummy and you're on a special diet for a while. My gastroenterologist has had me cut out things, let them think you might have an ulcer(I do) for some reason,ulcers cause less questions than weight loss surgery. That's how society works. 😁

Scott please continue to update us. We want to hear the next chapter of "How my mojo returned and is never leaving again". 😛

Desert Girl good luck getting into,the liquid diet groove, there are many on here who say it's one of the hardest parts to the whole process. I take that to mean---if you can do this, you can do anything. I always read all the postings about it, figure the more I read the better I'll handle,it when it's my time.🍶☕. Maybe next month, that's what I'm hoping for 😛

Maybe they think you are dying, more likely they think you have cancer and don't want,to embarrass you by asking. Me and my big mouth , I actually asked my friend T if she had cancer and what stage she was at? Turned out she had a VSG 3 months before. Facepalm to the forehead! Oh did I felt a dolt! 😁 And now I'm going to have bariatric surgery myself. Lucky for me,she has a forgiving nature and is cheering me from the sidelines as I make my run💃 for Weight loss Glory.😁

All of you gals and guys, get well, heal smoothly and stay with us for a long time😝

I'm going to think of it as being strapped into a jet, no a rocket ship, and being prepared for launch. Yes they fasten your arms but its not tight like they were putting you in res traits for punishment,or protection for themselves. I had to deal with,them when in early days Long Term Care wasn't as restraint free as they are now. Funny I remember one of my surgeries they didn't strap me down, they sandbagged my arms on either side. Don't remember why. My surgeries even the one where they had to surgically stablize my fractured upper arm, not a fun injury in the least, I was treated very gently and in a calm manner. So much,i,do not fear having another. One thing I do recall from almost every time, that darn operating room. is always cold! Joked with my orthopaedic surgeon before knee replacement #1 "Are we trying to freeze all the germs and bacteria into immobility?", last thing I told him cause we have a friendly relationship " I'd better have a warm blanket on me when I wake up!" when I did in recovery I did and a Post a Note stuck to it that said " courtesy of your doctor". I'm lying there giggling, bet the nurses thought I'd been given too much Happy juice. 😛😷😛

Don't you think your body is trying to stop your surgery, this is it's last dich effort to keep things the way they are? But you've caught your body in its tricks, and this time you are not falling for it! You're going to wake up🌈 tomorrow and keep that appointment for your surgery.😷 You are smart, you know exactly what you're doing and you're the one in control. And even if Mr Body tries to protest afterward, you're still in control and you will be the ultimate winner.And every day,you see a scale or non scale victory, you will know it's worth all the things that came before. The world awaits you so 🌟Shine Baby Shine!😝😛😛😛😛

Honest Answer: there's a sucker born every minute, they sell them in the hope it might be YOU!😛

And now days coloring is in for adults. WallyWorld makes a fortune on colored pencils and books, been there,know that!😛

I am on day 8. I agree this is tough! I have found that I can't really tolerate the sf Jello or popsicles.😞 my son found a drink that is good though, it's called Protein2o. 0carbs 0 sugar 15 grams of Protein. Right now I'm drinking mixed berry flavor but I won't do that a couple of days out from surgery😊 hang in there, you will reach a point where you are not that hungry!

Maybe so. I wasn't aware I was not tapping gently and swiftly but your explaination makes sense. Notice when the phone screen accuses me of doing it that giant emoji band unfurls like a banner🚩 in the wind but now that I know what it is for I may just utilize it more.Thank you for explaining, sometimes I feel like the Doofus of the Western World for not understanding all these nuances. Maybe with practice I'll become more electronically literate.
Hey look at that! I did a whole post without extra letters showing up. There is hope for ME😛!

Hi @Frustr8! I'm not sure I fully understand some of your concerns here and am hoping you may be able to help clarify for me.
1) What do you mean you are given no 'credit' for number of previous postings? Are you referring to the item in the original app that showed the number of posts when you clicked on your name?
2) I've gone through the original app and am unsure of where you saw your ranking (eg: Guru In Training)? I can't find it listed anywhere in the original app, though it's possible I'm simply missing it.
3) When you say you have no followers nor are you following anything - I can verify that you don't have any followers and as for the "following" I believe you're referring to "Following" that's listed on your profile in the new app, in which case you are correct - you are not following any members.
4) "What gives with that bar that gives super sized emoji" - I think you're referring to the ability to react to posts. The one that shows a Heart (like), a Trophy (thanks), a Laughing emoji (Haha), a Confused emoji (confused) and a Sad Emoji (sad)? If so - these are reactions, which replace the more basic "Like" or don't like functionality of the older app. You can still "Like" the content, by selecting the heart, but you can also utilize one of the other reactions I mentioned if they seem more aligned with your feeling toward the post.
P.S. Thank you VERY VERY much for providing feedback.

Wow @michjoann 132010 that is so eerie, but he obviously is very meticulous and also,a perfectionist as well.

All of you gals and guys, get well, heal smoothly and stay with us for a long time😝

They sure did, wish I could have sued their sneaky little backsides. Must,have been wearing my Stupid Suit with the matching Fool Me beanie. 😱

And I am enraptured following your story as it unfolds. It is almost. like watching a child growing in maturity until they stand alone as an adult. Thank you for inviting me along on your journey!😛

Tyson has a variety of chicken nugget sized pieces with no breading. Tomkitten and I have eaten them, just taste like grilled🐔 chicken breast.😛

Yee-ouch! I'll be careful, funny the leg presses were always one of my favorite exercises. I hated the ones to stretch my calf muscles, especially since my left ankle from. my uncasted left ankle-tib-fib avulsion fx is semi froze. What happened , I did it while out fishing, stepped in an animal hole , caught it trying to pull it out I probably avulsed it myself. Went to an Urgent Care affiliated with Grant Hospital in Columbus. it was on the campus of Otterbein College, was called Grant Otterbein, probably,funtioned for the college and the nearby,public. They Xrayed it, said just a sprain and Ace Wrapped it. Sent me home and joked "Just don't do b it again!" Now I have had beaucoup sprains, sure didn't feel the same, but they were supposed to be the pros. Tuesday Morning the Radiologist from main Grant calls and asks " how are,you getting along with your walking cast?" To paraphrase the Treasure of Sierra Madre---"cast? I ain't got no stinking cast! "he says. " Hmmm well its a little too late to do the right thing now. You have a definite fracture and you've avulsed the ends off of your tibia and fibula!" Tra la la, isn't that just lovely! And it has never been quite right and that was 40 years ago. Maybe someday I'll get it some straightening out with surgery but I'm used to the cranky old beast. And at this point there are onlyb2 surgeries I desire

I usually work off of WiFi linked to Centrum, yeah the same lovely persons @ proudgrammy has so much trouble with. Different state but,the modus seems the same. Hence my pen name frust8. Help help help!😞

I have been a cheerful happy contributor Suddenly at 8:30 am EDT this morning I received a message that Bariatric Pal can't be accessed. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall to no avail. I am @ frust8 and I want back in . I access you on a LG smartphone running on Verizon. HELP
