LOL! I wish I had a job to go back to. I am beating the bushes looking for work opportunity.

Speaking for myself, I know that I get bouts of nausea if I am dehydrated. Interestingly enough, this didn't happen pre-surgery. Are you making certain to get your 64oz of liquid in a day?

I seem to be in one helluva stall. I thought it had broken, but alas, I was wrong. Although to be honest, I think this one is my fault as I got away from careful tracking so today I am getting back up on the horse. Need to watch calories as well as make certain that I am getting 100g of high quality protein.

I take it that you don't believe in evolution? I'm not a big fan of creationism and so-called intelligent design. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app

Taking NSAIDs Post-Op
Mattymatt replied to PeaceAndLove88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't run the risk of taking NSAIDs. It's just not worth irritating your stomach. -
I thought dumping was only a thing for RNY folks .... interesting.

why is this still happening
Mattymatt replied to ProudGrammy's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
HAHA! Haven't become a heart throb just yet. Maybe when I get a little closer to two fitty. -

Now this is happening to me all of the time. Oh well, maybe it will encourage us to comment instead of hitting the <3 button. -

Somewhere along the line ...
Mattymatt replied to Mattymatt's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am fine with being average. I've spent my whole life living with a Type A personality driving me hard and very unhealthy. For the first time in my life, I am just comfortable in the middle of the road. -

I don't like to get political but Donald Trump actually inspires me to do just the opposite of what he does. Every time I hear him smear someone's name, I am even more motivated to do something kind for someone else. I understand the world can be a big, bad place but it doesn't mean that we need to become desensitized to it. I really object to the snowflake meme and telling people they should suck it up. No, maybe we could do a better job being good, decent, charitable human beings instead of stepping on each other to get ahead. Again, I take a heaping teaspoon of my own medicine.

The emoticon came up as a laugh. Oh well, no worries. I was simply wondering if I had said something stupid.

This is one day that I am really glad is over. After more than 24 miserable hours, my stomach is finally beginning to settle down some. Egads! I was really worried about a stricture. Despite being sick, I was still productive. I got the FAFSA form filled out for student loans come August when I go back to community college for Automotive.

Why is what I said above funny? I am very serious. There is enough meanness out in the world.

Sometimes when one is not feeling so good about themselves, they pick on the weakness of someone else out of personal frustration. This is the way it has been throughout time. I know when I am feeling down and despondent I have to actually work to prevent the mean, angry, and sarcastic Matty from coming out. It's not a side of me that I like but sometimes I am human and it comes out but I will always apologize for this because, again, I don't want to be known as an a*****e.

Chloraseptic might be okay to use if it is not in the NSAID class of drugs. But better to be safe and check with your doctor.

I had to do my two week pre-op diet with OptiFast. It is unpleasant at best but a rite of passage. About the only flavor I could stand was chocolate. Vanilla and strawberry you could practically taste the fakeness. My endocrinologist pulled me off of insulin when I first started out. About a week into the diet, I was also pulled off of Victoza as I continued to run low.

I don't think anyone is currently bullying. Rather it's just an open discussion. I think we all get really heated when it comes to discussion and we have to remember to be compassionate towards others. We're all struggling, more or less, from the same affliction of being (or having been) morbidly obese. A little bit of compassion goes a long way. I challenge folks to use compassion instead of bluntness to get a point across. I include myself as well.

What are you addicted to...like really, truly, mess with your brain addicted?

You really hit on it. I don't even want to go to the grocery store. Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Mattymatt replied to Ylime's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You know what's really strange? I think gastric bypass physically broke a large part of my addiction to food because almost all of the foods that I used to enjoy pre-surgery now taste awful and make me physically sick. Yesterday I had a carefully crafted Qdoba burrito bowl. By carefully, I mean I had no carbs/starches. I just had black beans, ground beef, cheese, and salsa. Well let's just say it was something I used to enjoy. I am still sick from it today and I it wasn't the overeating kind of sickness. -
Can I have bulletproof coffee
Mattymatt replied to Marissa37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Something called Bullet Proof Coffee automatically makes me suspect. -
I guess I grew up in the world of suck it up but I honestly hated that world. It turned me into a bitter and morose person. I think the world would be a better place if more of us practiced a little compassion and tried to walk a mile in the other person's shoes. I understand that we're all human and make mistakes but I think a little compassion goes a long way.
