I did make my daughter’s baby food. I never bought the store stuff. Too bad I don’t still have the recipes. Thank goodness for Pinterest now! Toodles, Rue

I have never like artificial sweeteners. But I have been trying some lately. Today I bought some yogurt with some in to try! It is so awful! I don’t know if I can do it! Any suggestions? Toodles, Rue

It’s the shock of surgery. My daughter had major back surgery when she was 15. They told us to bring pads with us to the hospital. (We knew she would be there for at least 5 days) Sure enough, she had a period 3 days after the surgery. So also had to have surgery again 2 1/2 weeks after the 1st one. 3 days later, her friend came to visit her. Toodles, Rue

My mom would go on a diet & then my dad would loose weight! It would make her so mad! Toodles, Rue

See if there are any Hanes/Playtex outlet stores near you. They should do fittings there. Or look for specialty bra shops in your area. Or maybe even an upscale department store has a bra fitter. They are hard to come by anymore. When you do find a bra that you fits you, put your shirt back on so you can see how the girls look in your clothes with the bra on. Toodles, Rue

I have been having a “Farewell to Food” party every day for 3 weeks. Today was my last binge of 3 Dunkin Donuts. I never did make it to Krispy Kream ☹️ Toodles, Rue

Have a safe drive. Put everything thing in the car tonight or by the door & try to get a good nights sleep. Good luck & let us know how it went! Toodles, Rue

Anyone have to do a bowel prep before a RNY? I can see the benefit since the doc will be attaching your intestine to your new stomach. Just tell me it’s not as bad as getting ready for a colonoscopy! Toodles, Rue

My dr suggested making shakes with whey powder, unsweetened almond milk & 1/2 a banana. You could add your own sweetener to it. Toodles, Rue

You got this! Toodles, Rue

I had an allergic reaction to the nasty bowel prep I had to do in December. Now I’m worried. Toodles, Rue

It took me 2 years to get use to wearing mine. I have had surgery 12 different times & only had to take my Cpap to the hospital once. Toodles, Rue

Bye Atorvastatin. My PCP said I could stop taking this. After my surgery I can also stop Pantoprazole. Toodles, Rue

When my primary 1st suggested WLS he put a notation of all the things that would justify me having WLS in my chart. Sleep apnea (I have used a clap for 13 years), back pain, joint pain, depression, GERD, trouble walking. So when insurance asked he already had all the bases covered. I saw him this week. He was very informative & wants to see me a month after my surgery. Toodles, Rue

There is an English show on Netflix called Embarrassing Bodies. On S3:E7 a man has a buried penis after weight loss & has the excesses skin removed between the penis & his tummy. Toodles, Rue

How exciting!!! Toodles, Rue

Wondering what others have done about cooking dinner for their family. I am the family cook. I'm not sure how I am going to feel after surgery. Am I going to want to meal plan, shop, cook & clean up for my family? 5 years ago I had major back surgery & friends bought over dinners for the 1st week or so that I was home. I'm not telling everyone about the WLS so friends won't be bringing any food over. I know that most of the cooking is going to fall to my daughter. She's plenty old enough, but she's not very good at cleaning up after she cooks. Guess I will just have to let somethings go. How did you handle it?

I see a pain specialist because I am in constant pain after having my back fussed 5 years ago. I told her about my upcoming surgery. She said that she should be managing my pain after the RNY. Anyone else have a pain specialist do this for them after WLS? Toodles, Rue
