An Apology to Tiffykins



Recommended Posts

Tiffikins, you left the chat room last night without the usual notification and good nights. I wondered why? Then I thought of our conversations going on and I realized you might have thought I was arguing with you.

On the contrary, I was agreeing with you about what my doctor told me. He didn't want to listen to me about my foot problem. I have had no problems in the past 10 years of taking daily NSAIDS. I know he is protecting his surgery, and is probably ethically bound to tell me not to use them. But you take them, and others take them, so I agree with you.

.

If you thought I was arguing with you, I sincerely apologize. I value your input as much or more than anyone on this forum, I wouldn't want to do without that advice.

Also, when there is a lot of the chatting going on, I get behind in the reply and because I am a relatively slow typist I tend to use short, curt one word answers that may not seem polite at times. I will do better as I get more accustomed to keeping two conversations going at the same time.

Again, please forgive me if I offended you.

:001_smile:

I got booted out of the chat with my craptastic internet connection last night. I promise Jerry you didn't offend me, or upset me.

No harm no foul, I'm sorry I didn't come back in and sign out as normal. I was fighting with my modem, my crazy basset hound was chasing a bunny in my 1 acre largebackyard, and the 82lb German shep (he's fun trying to contain considering I only weigh 40lbs more than he does, and he can literally drag me down our hallway when we play tug o war) was trying to get out so he could play with Thumper as well. I was losing my mind LOL.

There's another thread on here about NSAIDs where I posted some research links and other info about NSAIDs that you may find interesting.

I adore you Jerry, and I promise you could never offend me.:001_smile:

I'm just grateful that I'm not fat anymore. He may be short and dumpy, but that little b**stard can haul ass over our gigantic backyard and the bunny couldn't find his hole he had dug under the fence. I think Hank was taunting me as well. He must have thought it was "cute" that momma was trekking around the backyard screaming and trying to catch him and/or the bunny.

I love him too, but last night I was ready to string him up by his short, crooked legs.

Here he is just to show him off LOL

Here he is with my beloved Harley that passed away on Feb 23rd. That's why the husband brought home the German shepherd. I told him to not get me a cat so he gets me a horse LOL.

Mischievous much? I was outside on the porch and came into this, he's not allowed on furniture.

My surgeon is not against taking pain killers after the sleeve. He was at the seminar May 15th and at the support meeting Monday May 24th.

Also, I met a 22 yr old that had been sleeved. She had constant acid gurgling up in her throat after the surgery. Doc says he's never had this happen. She had to be in the hospital for a month and could not swallow anything. He finally did a revision surgery. She now has a RNY and is doing fine. The only problem is now bragging about now being able to eat Doritos and she showed me the diet pop she was drinking.....:wink0: !

After all those problems and all that surgery (she also had her gallbladder out recently) I would think she would want to eat healthy and help her body heal itself!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
