Not really feeling food...Pureed stage
If you are cleared for cream of rice or wheat, I wouldn't see why not . To my mind it would be easier than oatmeal to digest. But don't make it real thick at first.[emoji173].[emoji13] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Appointment April 10th!
Which surgery do you recommend for me and why?How soon may I return to exercising? When will I be released to return to the gym? When can I go swimming or use a hot tub? When can I have sex again? If I do need plastic surgery in the future, who might you Recommend? IWhat protein shakes have worked best in your practice? Am I young enough that my skin will snap back into shape and I'll avoid plastic surgery? How much weight should I attempt to lose before surgery? Do you or your hospital sponser support groups and how often do they meet? Can I have a family member or friend with me before and after surgery? At my BMI what is your policy on liquid pre surgery diet?. For what period of time would be best? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Ulcer or erosion?
Probably can wait but you may stay miserable until you see him.FYI, I have a little baby ulcer which I have named Hector, I have no h.pylori so Hector came from too much ibuprofen chewing on my stomach lining. Gives me the same sort of pain, he gets especially peeved from coffee and some foods.[emoji26] And the little stinker enjoys reminding me he 's down there. I have to take Dexilant to keep him napping. [emoji12] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

I think my depression is easing
And you feel not the best after surgery, sometimes you have buyers regret, you feel like you are trapped in a dark scary forest. You can't for a while see the beauty of each tree. But with the sunlight of getting healthy & feeling better, you start to be able to cope with your new life, it's okay and you're okay too.[emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Pre- test
Don't stress, it's more likely Martians will land at the Lincoln Memorial than your surgery be aborted . You are just having an attack of "What If-itis, extremely common in the immediate pre-surgical community. In most cases it is cured by the "Whew I did it" syndrome. Nobody has ever died from "What If-itis", it's just pesky while you have it.Another thing, it leaves few if any scars. Perk up Penny Sue, every little thing gonna be all right![emoji172][emoji13][emoji171][emoji12][emoji173][emoji12][emoji170] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Weight loss stall... 18 days post op
I like to think of it as your body re-booting, then you lose some more.[emoji14] Unfortunately it seems to be a common complaint on BP, it's like you lose by fits and spurts[emoji26] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

May or June Surgery date:
No but I have kinfolk in Sepulpa and around Tulsa and I always thought Owasso had such a pretty sound to it. There was a,movie oh about the 60s or so with Pat Boone and Buddy Hackett. Buddy's character was supposed to be Chickasaw Indian with a pet bird named Owasso, stuck n in the back,of my mind until I saw your post. Don't remember if it was a chicken or seagull, I think,maybe chicken.[emoji215] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

March-April Rny-ers
Well at least you won't have to sit there dreading things or worrying the surgeon is going to,call things off. You'll March in , change into a gown, maybe tinkle, get your IV started, climb on the gurney and you,will be soon off to slumberland,when you wake up you'll be stiff, sore, feel like you've done too many situps. If it were me I'd think Freddy Kruger took a chain saw to me, but then I have a vivid imagination. Your mouth will be dry but sipping walking peeing will start up. It will be difficult to understand how you can go,so much when you feel so dry. But each walk will go smoother than the one before, and you'll start living your new life. And I'll he here a little jealous because your surgery is finished and I haven't had mine yet. But my day will come, and you'll be the seasoned veteran urging me on, you'll say Come on frust8 you can do this. And guess what, you will be right, I can like you did, right?[emoji14][emoji170][emoji14] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

4 Days Post-op....feeling really depressed and lots of anxiety...
One of my friends said as her fat melted away into the universe and released all the hormones stored there it was like puberty, pregnancy and menopause all wrapped up in a messy prickly ball. She was SO happy when things in her body calmed down and she could get,on with life. Even cried one day when the dog barked at her, thought he didn't love her any more. Probably,was something like Elroy seeing the,mailman walk by. But at the time she refused to be consoled.[emoji69][emoji33] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
