She didn't ask for suggestions on the board until she had that bad episode of PBing. No mention of Constipation until she had that. And she was apparently thought it was severe enough to ask for help on the board, since she'd already tried MOM unsuccessfully. She said she had pressure on her diaphagm and some sort of other pain she had had previously when constipated, and because of that, thought it was constipation. Again, this occured after her severe PB. Even Dr. C recommended that she go in for an unfill immediately. If she had, her erosion may have been caught sooner. And while she may not take other opinions over her doc's, she took your opinion over Dr. C's. She even posted that she felt well enough to avoid going to the doctor, afterwards.

Normal constipation is one thing. Sudden constipation after having a severe episode of PBing is another.

I'm not saying that you caused her to lose her band. We all know that it was unavoidable at the time. But when a medical situation might be related to a potentially severe band complication, "talk to your doctor" should always be the first advice given.

It's not exactly a leap to think that the two may have been connected, that she really wasn't truly constipated at all, just experiencing similar symptoms. Again, she was already eroded at the time. Nothing you could have done or said could have saved her band. But if she'd gone to see her doctor or surgeon instead of asking for and taking online advice, she may not have gotten as sick as she did.

Again, and for the last time (I'm done with this conversation), my suggestion came BEFORE she came to the board asking for help.

Wow, it is a mess in here! Bits of popcorn everywhere! An empty MOM bottle ! Oooops, what is this, A POM POM! Damn, how did this get in here? Anyone know?

POM POM! HA!!! I was LOL in real time over that one. When you watch who is reading but not posting that makes the comment even funnier.

I'm sure it was. :guess

Look, it isn't that I really dislike you. I just don't trust you. One minute, you're making nasty posts and stirring up trouble on OH about Wendell, and the next you're PMing and emailing people to try to get a look at his blog. I don't trust people who try to play both sides of the field and hope people don't notice. We do.

Now, THAT'S funny! Thanks for the chuckle...

Now, what was it you said in it? Oh, that's right, "I would be interested in seeing your blog about the nurse scandal. I don't want to reveal my reasons at this time." Isn't that right, Njbowman? Oh, wait, I mean Nancy.

Oh, that's so scary! I didn't realize how mean I sounded until I saw it in print! LOL! You got me!

Wendell said that if anyone wanted to see his blog, he would send it to them...did he not??? Wasn't that the whole reason for posting it, so people would see it?

Read my post again, Nancy. I never said you bashed him in emails. I said you are always bashing Wendell on OH. And you are. And what's "I don't want to reveal my reasons at this time" supposed to mean, if not that you were having your own doubts about SandyR? Sounds a hell of a lot like trying to cozy up to Wendell and play both sides of the field. You're nice to people when it suits you, but when they aren't looking, you'll drag them through the mud.

That sounds like cozying up to you? Interesting. He said "e-mail me if you want the info". So I did. I'm not going to answer what I meant by "my own reasons". It's none of your business.

I'm nice to nice people, and not so nice to people who aren't. Pretty simple.

Really?

So....

What do you think of Sondra Tabor?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
