Frustr8

And maybe she can relearn from you, what an incredible bonding opportunity for you both!

But You are a good little Vegetarian Wolf, lentil soup is also nice, better for you than evil Cheeseburgers could be. You can look at the world with clear clean eyes, not with Burger Belch! With a good veggie meal you don't miss meat at all, challenged my friend one day, proved to me you DON T need meat in a meal. It was good, it was filling, and, although I hated to admit it, I liked it very much.

@ Palomabella, my precious, you have ME! Yes the self-same oldest presurgical person on Bariatric Pal. You're worried at 56, sad to say I could be your mother, I'm 16 years older yet.Yep 72, I'll be 73 the day after Christmas. But I am marching forward, head held high, well maybe my neck is frozen in that position, but I don't think so. 3 weeks from yesterday I will have my surgery. Its a toss up whether I'll resemble a shar pei or basset hound afterward. I might have a body,only,Jabba the Hut could love but it beats being dead all hollow. And if I look like an Irish Setter with mange, so be it. At least,this winter I can pull on a knitted or crochet hat, I must have 2 dozen lying around, I went on a craft binge a couple years ago. And by spring new hair will have sprouted, maybe I'll get my birth curls back, I was a very cute infant with curls all over my head. My mama said so, went,to her grave,believing,i was the greatest thing since sliced 🍞 bread. I probably will look like something the dog dug out of the garbage and just left there. I have very fair skin, strawberry blonde hair, I probably will look like Ronald McDonald after an alcoholic weekend with dark circles under my eyes. Now you couldn't look THAT BAD! I will probably be holding onto my son's arm, flinching as I walk but I will have a s***-eating grin on my face, I've proved all the nay-sayers wrong. I could do it, I did do it and by golly I'm going to rock the rest of my years. This is a new lease on life for ME! Now don't you want to join me? Gonna be like nothing the world has seen , I need a Thelma for my Louise, are you game?

Oh how rotten! Seems like there should be someone to talk to that can speed things up. B.C./B.S. --for shame, for shame!

Well you are doing good, keep going until you finish the insurance's diet requirement too. Then you will be like me, on a liver-shrinking diet and waiting for your Surgery Day to come. December was once a special month,in my family. I was married on the 9rh, a year later my first baby was due on the 12th, she didn't arrive until January,3rd, been late for thongs her whole life, of course Christmas and then my birthday is the day afterward, the 26th.

Still feeling okay,@sstewart? Hope you have no pain or anything.

For a while on here they had Weigh- In Fridays, don't know if that fell by the wayside or what? Since my surgery day is a Wonder Wednesday, I will be a Wednesday Girl! Maybe be brave and do it next week or the 29th, certainly will report it in on my😷 surgery day.

I am if you and Jingle are , let's Rock September 5th together! Deal?

2 Main Reasons: 1. It irritates,your stomach lining , something you don't want healing a surgical stomach wound. 2. It acts as a diuretic, when you are working and working to get and keep an adequate amount of fluid coming, do you really want to "tinkle it all away" before it's of benefit to your body's tissues?☕ Okay?

Perfect Plan, Screwballski, Perfect Plan.📝👍😛

Excellent suggestion, do just that. A very classy way to handle a game that never should have been played. Everyone in this world has a superior, let us pray it will not be necessary to go further. But you would be justified, in my opinion.

Maybe they,think Bariatric Surgery and Weight,Loss is a cult and you need protection from US. Well not me, unless you unleash my red-headed temper I'm mild and meek as a marshmallow. Just want get through my surgery and start on a new life of health. No threat to nobody, except my own fat and I'm going to obliterate that. But that is my own personal battle, one I will win. But convert anybody, nope, I'm Too Busy.

2 days after my RnY, 1 day after Macadamia, we all are going to be healing together and singing our sweet September Songs! Congratulations on getting your date#

Excellent suggestion, wish I had thought of it myself! Here's your🏆 trophy '-my friend!

You have both,halves of your fears under control, this is good. But please remember yours will,be a Jultrim healing, may not spectacular, may not be showy, may even be as large as the next person, but it will be Yours. Croos the T, dot the I, follow the basic rules, get plenty of fluids and the world can watch the contrail from your personal jet self and EVERY THING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT! This part,i can promise. Go in with peace and calmness, and believe we have you cushioned in a blanket of 💘 love.Bariatric Pals take care of their own!

Please do, you are part,of our world-wide family, and like most aunts I will worry until I know our Jultrim is all okay. Everyone I have met here matters in the Grand Scheme of Life!😛👍

Well this is sort of a confession I suppose. I miss my coffee! It wasn't the taste because I never liked black coffee, can't stand it unless it's calmed down With International Delight, Coffeemate or these days Premier Protein Caramel. I went to half caff, then decaf, I still miss it! You see,when I became allergic to chocolate in all its various forms, I lost a comfort measure, yes even more than food, hard as it is to believe. I 💖cocoa/hot 🍫, that warm milky drink from my Baby-Frustr8-hood And I have nothing to replace it with. When I was going to Kroger's or my health food store I could purchase Carob powder, mix it with my good honey( several relaives have hives) pure vanilla from Watkins and I was temporarily happier. I begged Wal-Mart to start carrying it, begged on my knees, even worked there for 11 years, think they might consider it as a personal favor? No way, last time I humbled myself I was told I wasn't worth trouble. So since I wanted something warm against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Now between my bariatric surgeon and gastrointestinolgist my milky pacifier is gone. GI says it only aggravates my gastritis, bariatric surgeon(ever notice it abbreviated to b.s.?) says may I please have a calm peaceful gastric organ to make my pouch from? So I take religousky my Dexiilant to calm my stomach and. keep Hector my itty bitty ulcer from spreading his glandular wings and perforate. Sniff💦 tea just isn't the same and now anyway I am cursed with decaf forms of that.🍵Cup of peace and tranquility, I miss you!😪

I suspect you were beautiful all along, you just couldn't see it!

YLime you are one loved woman today! And we thought we,could get,along witout you? Boy we were wrong, you are the Center of the Universe, at least in Colorado you are! Put that baseball bat down, you know that weighs more than your 10 pound weight tolerance! You can bash them on the noggin another time!

Sounds pretty cool,all around. Lucky You!

Mr Astro- Tomcat should be purring, you look pretty cute to have around.

A mid-sized microwave heading for an elephants penis(but aren't we all!) final Oxford English Dictionary heading toward a full-size man. Hmmmm if I bean him with the dictionary he won't be able to get away. Sorry fellows, I'm a Widow,good men are HARD to find!

There they are, plunked down right next to the check-outs at Wally World, they are tasty big morsels of bad old carbs, but Grandma makes a lovely quick slide -down -the -gullet treat, doesn't she?🍪

Glad you now have a cute little navel, kinda weird celebrating such a thing but it is important to you so therefore of interest to,me too. I told you I bet that one was going to pain the most! But you're better, not feeling so rocky and I'm glad for that! I usually don't have that much anesthesia nausea but I am getting older and it might hit me harder. If it does I'm in good company,aren't I? Its been years since i had that much intubation, but I'll get through it, you did after all. It's odd, but each story makes me feel closer, like I'm part of a big society of something. I belong! I just got to go through my initation and I'm there!

I ate a small bowl,of 1 half 🍑 (water packed) with 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese, as sins go a minor pale-gray one. Excuse? I'm mourning Aretha Franklin? I don't think she's really in any position to rebuke me for it anyway.
