My "flying" Nsv, No Airplane Needed!
Pookeyism posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
okay guys, not the most flattering pic because I was concentrating, but this is a very basic Acro Yoga pose. The bottom is a "base" and the top is a "flyer". I had based many time, and sorta flew, but that day, evan if it doesn't show it, I took my hands away and completed the posture. I held it for about a minute, supported by her feet on my pelvic bones. This is a NSV all its own. I can’t buy this. I can’t “afford” surgery for this. I didn’t get this because of anything other than my persistence. The classes are at Blue Tree Yoga in Houston, and they are donation. So you can’t not “afford” it…I did it…it just keeps going in my mind like that. “I did it”. For the first time, I think, I feel very deep down like there is no going back. :’) -
Day 2 And I'm So Hungry
Pookeyism replied to klaaspice's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It won't "go away", that is what the problem is - you will have to overcome this big ol beast - and that is what it can feel like. Try and understand where it is coming from - somewhere in what you are doing you are cueing your trigger - and your habit to eat. Change up what you are doing if at all possible...change rooms, watch a new show, somethign... -
Okay, there is Groupon deal for Freedom Bras 3/26$ - but I usually need ALOT of support. BUT would love a bra that could be worn in evenings, yoga, etc. - maybe even under a swimtop. Anyone tried these bras? ANYONE who has lost a bit of, er, oomph in that particular area? Anyone who goes "mine are still perky" gets the evil eye...

2 Days Post Op
Pookeyism replied to ImprovedDreamerGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
walk walk walk, gas strips, dont forget to GENTLY burp if possible... walk, walk, walk, ... Feel better soon! Good luck. PS - the gas migrating can make you inflamed, so if you are ok'd a bit of ibuprophin could ease some of it, but it doesnt work for everyone. -
Woohoo! I Have Officially Entered Twunderland!
Pookeyism replied to Piplula's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I don't think we do a CSA, so far we have felt they are not any better for the consumer than what we already offer - and it puts you in no commitment, and (especially during events like the drought they are experiencing) no pressure to produce more than the land can spare. We do sell at a local community harvest farmer's market. We also have eggs . But our rates are good, quality awesome and Chris (Hubby's Mom)is respected and saught after in our community for advice, etc. We do Border Collie rescue and rehabilitation, so if you ever need a gentle, smart, active companion that has not been treated so gently, let us know! I can give you the number if you would like. -
Woohoo! I Have Officially Entered Twunderland!

"tooterville" - lol, is where we all are once we start the protien shakes -
Remember, you can boil nuts and make them so much softer - but be good to your intestines and don't make nuts or seeds what you transition on to solids with!

Starting On Solids, Confusing To Anyone Else?
Pookeyism replied to reneeclark1276's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
When I have people ask me about when to switch over I say it is kind of like going to fast on a bike around a curve...you don't know you've gone too fast until you wiped out, so why don't you just take it slow, and make sure you get around it? -
See Family For The First Time Since Surgery
Pookeyism replied to Knee2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You just can't think about it like that - and it sounds like maybe you think too much about it. Let it go with a big deep breath. I lost an aquaintance who never got to her first post on this forum (I found it out about 2 weeks ago) we had been texting after meeting in the doctors office, then nothing...don't let death rule you while you are living...I have had to deal with that too much. Bright pink and red energy for you to use to burn away the worries... -
I have no answers for you, really, except you will get glimpses into how you will eventually feel - it feels good. I apparently still see myself as a 18-20...I am a 12-14, according to my clothes.

Awake During Endoscopy?
Pookeyism replied to Fallenangel2904's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would get a second opinion about this - I think at least you should not have to pay for the services of whoever botched this up. -
Ohhhhh We're Halfway There!
Pookeyism replied to mesaucedo's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
It definately becomes harder, but you can do it. Consider getting a weighted vest for your runs, or if you wear slacks to work maybe ankle weights - stuff like that actually gives you an edge, since you are putting back some of the weight you had on during your workouts! I walk occasinally with a medicine ball, and kind of swag it back and forth between my arms... -
don't buy alot of any one protien drink, chances are you will NOT want that same drink over and over and over and over and over... Variety will also make it feel less like a chore. I suggest trying a variety pack from one like unjury or chike, and when you see one is favorable to you, buy it in a bucket, but perhaps the10-20 servings not mega-bucket xxx, lol

Look What The Fed Ex Guy Brought Me! :)
Pookeyism replied to Lissa's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
That rocks! Way to go! Enjoy! -
Something in what you are doing is acting as a trigger, you get a cue, it starts the trigger and urges on the habit (head hunger). Consider reading "The Power of Habit" by Dughill - it explains it sooo well.

Where do you find them?

8 Days Out And Had A Leak In Day 5 Do Discouraged :(
Pookeyism replied to stephwb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So you have done a barium drink or equivalent and they confirmed a leak? Not a heart attack or infection? -
So The Hubby Wants To Go To My Medical Review?
Pookeyism replied to Mzluvee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
MIne could not make it in for my initial visit, so the doc scheduled him one on his own (which I could not then make, grrrr!) It would have been nice to do that part together. -
Major Nsv For Me, I Am Marking My Calendar!
Pookeyism replied to Paola's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look beautiful. Very curvy and you glow! Yay for you! -
Okay, so I was bit - well, not bit more like a papercut - so what if I turn into a zombie? Head hunger seems to be a b---h when you are a zombie.
