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]

      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? 🤷‍♀️
