Frustr8

And please update us, THOSE symptoms are worrying, no matter what Dr DingBat and his happy minions say!😫

so @ Zero Cool are things on the mend for you? Sorry to hear you were back,in the hospital, hope THOSE DAYS are behind you!

I think you are probably correct, I had a few left from my PCP, I am hoarding, but I am still on regular ones from my surgery on the 5th. Usually my practice only requests 14 day compliance, I have to keep on taking because of Precious Pouch being temperamental. I think,i have enough until my 1 month checkup with Dr Needlman.👅

Hmmn?

I used have a theory The particles,of weight loss are like oil droplets they float through the air looking for a likely body to glomn onto. That's why ,I have a big bad rump, I was facing👤 into the wind during a windstorm, and I'm a victim of FALLOUT!✋

Appropriate of nothing necessarily but FRUSTR8 LOST 6,5 POUNDS IN JUST ONE WEEK. FIREWORKS PLEASE⛅🎉⛅!

Well HAPPY. 🎁 BIRTHDAY-what,a great celebration this will be!

I have dreamed of a weight goal. of 175, but I would not want to achieve it as you did. Ronnysgal. Keep us updated as time goes by

I'll grant you visiting Midwestern- hood. And the the saying is on almost as many T shirts as" Don't. Mess with Texas". is on yours.Congratulations on YOUR own success.

My only,fear(when I was still,entertaining fear) that I would. wake up And no surgery,would be done, the rationale- I was not judged worthy. of it. Nothing physical, just extreme unworthiness.😪😥

2, 2, barely 2. I have had trouble with thin cream of wheat/rice. so,pureed and strained soup, protein shakes. flavored and no flavored waters , applesauce although t hst was a go-to, had v trouble last night. Believe they think I still have swelling, when 3 full weeks have expired we will check further. Luckily I have several flavors soups, Kkeps me from Bonner-hood. As long As I don't try anything fancy Precious Pouch is happy with these things. jello and. s,f,popsicles.

Update, received my box from Bariatric Pal store, containing nice protein soup packets. Fixed one up , offered 2 oz cup to Precious Pouch, was even downgraded from teaspoons to taking soups that way temporarily. Pecious did not say " Coming Right Back up" , did I win the War? Doubtful, although I do win an occasional skirmish. She can rock that "I'm swollen thing" a lttle while longer. Come October if she is still feeling ornery we EGD her ornery little self! We will take a look see, dialate my stoma if needed and defuse her little reign of terror. She may think SHE is Queen , but the abberant peicebofvstomach tissue can be put in her place. I own her , not the other way around.

quite a few, I remember yes this strange stage will not last forever as my sore abused little bog of stomach heals things will get better. And all kinds of euphemisms are true, what does not kill me, only strenghtens me. But bottom line, with its blips, twists and turns, it is liveable, I can and will do it. AND IT BEATS DEATH ALL HOLLOW, because without it. it was doubtful I would live out this decade. And even with transitory desire to hold,my surgeons nose and feed him just the diet HE has ME on, I 'll make it through. I am stubborn, RedHeaded, never ran away from a challenge, even married one, with all his deprecation, I OUTLIVED HIM. And now I am still living, I can Texas-2step, yodel , although I can Live Large, praises be with my surgery I Don't Have To Anymore, lost 6 pounds in just lady week, proud of my surgeon but more so of ME. Come rock,with me and let's change our corner of the world.

Yes, my love, it does. I survived over 4 weeks on a liver- shrinking diet, now I am slowly chugging along. on Stage 2 after RnY on September 5th. Is it fun? Nope not necessarily. Is it bareable? Oh yes, you can't believe 1/4 to 1/3 cup is a sufficent amount but it is. When. my nerve frays, and I have a u

No it is a Bipolar I medication, useful during manic phases. And no I am not Bipolar I, I am just a Medi-Geek. And WE,know all kinds of interesting things!

And since I sort- of now have made myself a diet plan, now I'm trying to add in my meds for peak efficiency. :-* do know space calcium citrate away from iron, away,from multivitamins. Okay but doesn't protein shakes also contain calcium, space them away from multi vitamins also. I know Ditropan first thing in morning, Zyrtec, signulair at night like. h.s.Well I have Wellbutrin 3 times daily, when do it work those in? Do they fight with anybody? I was supposed to take liquid Tylenol for certain length of of time , why when I am observing,no discernible. pain? I do understand. Zofran 8Am - 4PM - 10 PM , which I must continue because of Precious Pouch and I being quesey longer than 2 weeks. And Lovenox, oh that's one I am GOOD at, 8 AM-8PM, go jab thyself. The rest of the time shoehorn 6 mini meals in, take QS fluids in 48 oz moving up to 64 and then past. Exercise and walk, try to live life but nothing over 5 lbs of weight. And smile, smile, smile, wouldn' want to scare off future WLS patients, would we? Oh yes B12 is to be started, now where does it fit in?

Sometime Alex and Ken S. please give us. a visual menu of these emjoi and the meaning you mean for each As an example I have been an user of the confused emjoi. To me it aknowlegement that I or the poster found something confusing and one of us is seeking clarification. one poster claimed I was ridiculing the. previous poster, that certainly was NOT my intention.

Now THAT is the right kind of surgeon to have÷ !

wishing you well for your planned revision, there are many who have gone through this recently. My friend Ellie 123 from Texas comes to mind but there are many more, if you only look.

And how are YOU both doing? @Crigney21 and @ bubbles80, are you both well and fit?

And my surgeon was and is a wonderful person , and highly skilled doctor. And although I have had a miserable rotten nasty 2 week,surgiversity, I still am and will grateful he did not bar me from surgery at 72, as many,others would. He saw, although this chickadee 's feathers were gray she still could and will make a 🎁success of it all . Parts of me might be creaky but I can and will,make a success of it all. This I Do Promise!😝✊

Jean Kerr, the humorist told of her child coming home from parochial school and telling her he wanted the part of the Snake. When asked why on earth he desired that part, he replied " Mommy the Snake has all the Best Lines!" Remember the Devil,knew you would have indigestion even if you didn't! And the box score still remains. DEVIL 1 EVE. 0
