Frustr8

Ash Ash you are a little trooper, no matter what your road back to health throws in your way, you stay upbeat and positive. Plan,on taking a leaf from your rulebook when my time comes!😣

Thanks Grammyrusty you are a good role model for our age group and the younger ones as well!😛

And Frustr8 inches forward, she travelled almost 3 inches today. Hand her a bottle of cold water, got to keep that hydration up!🐛🍶

"I heard about stalling on the past, but I didn't think it would happen to me." Well if there was any way to file for an exemption, the line,would be 7 miles long from BP people alone. 🙆🙅💁🙋💆💇

So ms Ashley congratulations,on a surgery well'done,and I hope your future healing goes very well. Welcome to Bariatric Pal and I hope you'll stay a,ling time!😛

Nerves Sweetness they will just tell you nerves. Slather on hydrocort,or Benadryl cream, calm down and believe. This too will soon pass and joy comes in the morning!👍😛👍

Don't try with alcohol to drown your pouch You'll be the one,saying OUCH! A little Bariatric Humor on this fine Friday Evening🍸😛🍹🍷

Did you have the presence to say "Well Excuse Me Folks" or did you just kind of slink away?😨

Howdy Cowboy Joe78260, if my handy zip code doesn't fail me you are in Bexar County, somewhere about San Antonio, am I right? Let me quickly introduce myself. I'm Frustt8 self appointed "welcome wagon" for the Bypassers. After nearly 3 years of seeking ,August 2015-July2018, my long journey towards a RuN should conclude,this month. I live in Central Ohio, FYI the geographical center of Ohio, Centerburg, is in my county. Matter of fact,my,late mama graduated from there in 1935. I live in Mount Vernon, a city of 20,000 48 miles NE of Columbus where,i shall obtain my surgery. Still waiting on an exact date but I can hardly wait. If I had a tail, I wo7is be wagging,it and therein lies a tale. You see, I have always wanted a tail, well at least since age 5 when I announced my intention to grow one.Well that year I asked Santa Claus, didn't get,it for Christmas or my birthday the day afterward. Okay I said, I shall have to grow my own, imagine how disappointed I was when my family doctor said,i didn't even have a tail bud, like the horn buds I had seen,on calves. Pfooey, so I kept my desire,inside. Mind you. I wasn't planning a generic tail, I wanted a big fluffy one like a Persian Cat.Serves me right that,my youngest,wanted to be a duck. He did not want to,be a mallard, he felt that ring around,the neck might bind. he wanted to,be a big white duck! Told his poor grandma who had never gotten over me announcing at Prayer Meeting if everyone,would pray real hard, God would grant,me a tail. Shoot, hadn't Sister Jones said if you pray really hard God would grant you the desires of your❤, swore I heard her say that at Sunday School. Then 20 some years later her darling grandbaby boy,wants to be a duck! Caused her to fan herself real hard , yep sure did! Anyway, welcome , any questions,that you need,answered, just ask. We,love helping,here.😛

Lyrics from South Pacific: You got to have a dream- If you don't have a dream- How you going to have a dream come true? Pretty song- after all these years it's still TRUE!

Ask any questions you like, we love helping and we're always here. We have either experienced or will experience anything you may ask. I'm a sometime this month RnY but don't worry I will be hanging around much past that! Need a friend? Just ask!😛👍😛

Sam Walton's spirit may be snickering His,motto was: If you build it, they will come. In your case: If we stock it, CreekImp will come!

Hiya @BrooklynSleeved, I was feeling beset upon, I am stuck in the pre-surgery doldrums, sometime within the next 2 weeks I should. be sugerized, I was having a What's the Use,moment then I read your post and I thought If she can make it through BQQ on the Block, yours should be a cinch, our county fair falls within the same gap for me and oh the smells there are equally enticing. But you made your challenge and I believe I can make it too! By-the-way the Dodgers should never have moved!😛

Congratulations @Faith 73- hoping to join you in PostSurgeryLand. Save me a nice patochair!😛🙌😛

You reminded me of something. Tomkitten, the heir to my miniscule fortune, had a colonoscopy at 38, we have some bowel problems in family so didn't wait till 40 or 50. After all the liquid and evil bowel purge, he still had a chunk of green hello hanging on his colon wall! Our gastroenterologist gives us a full color print out of what he discovered. FYI everything tested clear except he has internal hemorrhoids, And a new respect for bowel cleansing! LOL😛

@just4nise- nice to hear, glad to hear your Happy Day is coming- just wish they would call with mine! Shouldn't be much longer, one department said today, one July 9, and still a third July 16, wish they would hurry up, I'm not getting any younger!👍😪

You figured out Wendy's Secret Chili,recipe? Dang you're an even smarter friend than I thought and I had already counted you pretty smart!😛👍

Very pretty tattoo, Creek, hope to do one myself in tribute, yeah even at 72. I always heard Lily of the Valley signified always within my memory. Even the few times we have disagreed I too have always found you unforgettable! Your guy did a very nice job.😛🍃

I am already on my remedial vitamins, my,preop blood work shows I had some deficts. Want to have my,levels optimum for my surgery.

Don't give in * Don't Give up* Give yourself the love you need* Stand tell and proud* And keep moving on! ,, With love Frustr8

What a beautiful thing to have- your birthday and REBIRTHDAY on the very same day! So what if you don't have a birthday,cake, when you're getting something better!.😛❤😛

Monkfruit is also good, I usually use stevia .Don't miss white suger one bit!

3 ladies with a "M" connection.no make that 4. Michigan, Maryland, Mount Vernon Ohio where I am and Heatherlarae, another pretty Buckeye who lives in Mercer County Ohio, in If I read right in Celina, a pretty city near Grande Lake St Mary's, although I haven't been that far west in a few years. Heather welcome, you have landed in a good area, these are helpful ladies and I'll try to keep that train of thought going. Where are you,gping to,have your surgery? I will be going to OSU later this month and having a RNY. I am older than dirt (72) but I am going to rock this surgery! Except for being a tad mother-hen like I don't act my age. If you have any questions we can help please ask, no matter what the request we had an answer. Other day someone made a joking comment about cannibals, I have a friend from New Guinea who once was one, came here for Bible College. So anything you come up,with can't be any odder that that!😨

Oh I will, I get tired of being uncertain, I am am to get notified either tomorrow, the 9th or 16th, Yeeps that's a 10 day span, even God only took 7 days to create the Heavens and the earth, well really only 6, he took the 7th to sit back, relax and hope mankind didn't get into,too much mischief. Ah what ever will be , will be but Big Mama gettng tired waiting.😖

And tomorrow another group of people will be having their surgeries ,It is exciting and rather awe inspiring,when you stop to think about it. Yep everyone of us on here have either went through it or will soon. Rather a rough initiation but look at the World Wide. fraternity/soriety, you are entering. It is eminently,worthwhile!😛🚩😛❤
