Looking for 70 year old member??



Recommended Posts

There was a woman (?) On here who was over 70 and having a sleeve done last month. I haven't seen her on here, and forget her name, but she always chimed in on posts and was super positive and excited. She even offended someone in a huge post about "being positive/did you go to the gym?" Lol! I removed myself from that post, so I can't find it!

Does anyone know how she did, or what her name was?? I really want to check in on her.

Thanks!

Are you thinking of Kakatlady? She's still around. She had a name change...she's Frust, now:) Might not be the same person, as she has not yet had her surgery...but she's still trying.

Yes, I realized that I have not seen any recent post from her either. It is possible she changed her name?

Hi I don't think I'm her. but I might be because I'm a preRnY but I got accused of chiming in too much, I accidently responded to,a lady who took umbrage with me, felt she had extends her query to post surg people only and basically told me to jump in the lake when i only tried to help. [emoji8] Oh the world is full of all kinds, I still wished her well even if our paths never cross again.[emoji26] If you ever want my,opinions on anything I'm usually lurking somewhere on B.P. just pull my chain and I'll be there! Okay?[emoji13] P.s. I am 72, red headed and spunky! Hoping for my surgery yet this spring, had to change programs (long story) but,praying this one comes through for me!

Yes, Frust8, it's YOU!! I'm glad your ok, I didn't know about the name change!
Sorry your surgery got delayed, I thought you had it a few weeks ago and since we had not seen you on, my mind was going all over the place! Glad to see you're okay!

Finer than frog hair, I'm like a Tommy Tipee cup or a Weeble, I may wobble but I don't fall down. I keep going on with my infantistimal losses, 2 pounds in a month. Feel like I'll lose more when Ohio's Weather,moderates and I can exercise more outside. Saw PCP yezterday, I have a sinus infection that won't leave. Here I sound like a old(well I sorta am) lady talking about her medicines and surgeries. We have gone from Augmentin to Clindamyacin and now we are trying Levaquin. I've had Levaquin before for something else. 3 bad things about that medicine: it would be expensive- expensive if I were,paying cash, luckily I have only $1.20 copay on it. 2. It leaves me looking like I have sunburned cheeks, medical term is "malar flush" and 3. You have to space it 2 hours before or after anything with Calcium or Iron including dairy products or the body doesn't utilize it. Wahhh! So now I have to figure where to fit it in for its once a day. I eat oatmeal in the morning, usually eat something like 1% or skim cottage cheese with either peaches or pears for lunch, they are usually Water or splenda juice packed, oh I will figure out something. At least I don't have to space it between Water and Protein Shakes post surgery. When I blow my nose I wonder if maybe that Barbie woman was right, maybe I am rotten inside! I have a 2 hour presurgical psych appointment with OSU staff psychologist Dr Kramer at Martha Morehouse Pavilion in Columbus on April 25th. A little scared, a little apprehensive they won't like me, find me unworthy, tell me I'm too old and that it is silly at my age to seek surgery. Am I expected to sit in my rocking chair or even worse a wheelchair fat, tired growing weaker and fatter until the Death Angel comes and claims me as his Own? Nope this old broad is leaving kicking, squalling at the top of her lungs and causing a general disturbance. That's the way I came into this world, at that time it was clothing optional, but I will not fade away and I intend to remain fully clothed unless there is a very good reason for removing them. Dang it I get COLD! Beside at my age there aren't too many offers, I have trouble hearing sweet nothing's whispered in my ear, even if I do I'm not sure I'm too interested. My body is now mine, no touchie no feelie without my permission. They can touchie feelie me while I'm in surgery but I will be checking afterwards for excessive fingerprints on my personal regions. May even ask they forego the urinary catheter, I have 3 natural kidneys and I'd have no trouble producing and voiding urine. If they want me up to walk they can just walk me to the bathroom. Don't you feel sorry for my future surgeon? After being burned by my previous program to the point of scarring I will be strident, militant and no longer gullible as I was! My mamma,may she rest in peace, raised me to believe if you treated people nicely they would be nice in return. Wrong, ex-program never read that manual. So just call me H*** on Heels,when I land I may with all 4 sets of claws extended. Treat me decent, treat me kind, Give me my surgery And everything will be fine! A little poem for everyone there. Thanks for caring about me, I'll try to make you proud but bottom line--I'll try to,make ME proud too,[emoji70][emoji12]

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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. 💜
