Frustr8

Animallover1247 and. Kimber628, how are you both doing,now? Certainly hope things are turning better!🙏😛

So how are you and the Green eyed envy Mobster doing b today?

So @May2126, how did things go and how are you feeling?

@Kaseyn2boys, did you ever find out how your v report was?

A lot of good alternative thoughts here. I'll try it, but if I don't,like b it I am in good company here

Oh they will, got to keep smiling,through my tears, not too big a market,for wet blankets. I keep on keeping on, one foot in front of b the other👣 and v trust I'll,make,it b to where I want to be!🙊🙉🙈

Stand up strong against the winds of life or the tiniest breeze will knock,you down.

And gradually 5 minutes will👣 become👣,10, 10 becomes 👣20 and almost without effort you will make it to a👣 half hour. Be patient with your body, down deep it still wants to be,your friend even if you did play such a nasty trick is with the surgery!👣

Never thought of stashing in the wardrobe for personal love- in- time. You are no shrinking Violet!

Praying for quick and smooth healing for you. I will be a bypass baby myself in July, just later in the month. Excited at 72 to finally reconstruct my life in a better way.😛

And also you have a weak cardiac sphincter between your esophagus and stomach, did it get traumatized when they did your surgery? Were you a "Sleever"? The bougie could have done it or the EGD tube.

A sloth on valium is that like my slug on depressants?

Cheetod although the ghetto might be a good location to send them to!

I am trying very very. hard to be a good little pre surgery girl. but I swear a big bag of Chester's Ghettos winked at me in the grocery Wednesday. Ooh they want me bad, Dr Needleman save me, operate SOON!

Hi Guys. I had a moment,of clairity/brain flash and I came up with a new theory. Maybe when we have our surgery it's like taking blinders off our taste buds, suddenly we can see taste'wise the base notes in foods. One frien said a ctratin good tasted like silver smells. And then there is the perpetual statement even water tastes sweet, that could also reflect on the breakdown of stored fat, ketosis does weird things. Another friend gave up sweet potatoes because she said it was like eating rock 🍬. What do,you,veterans of this way think?

Sammi 123 someone told me If it didn't breathe, it don't belong in your sleeve! Didn't buy it for 2 reasons. That negates plant'based protein totally and second I am going,to be a RnY bypass, don't affect ME. Nah nah nah fooey-dooey!

so gotta move to Mansfield, Columbus or another big town, I need a Sam's Club or Costco, I am I missing out so bad! Bid Viffer, take me to Dayton with you!🙏🙈🙉🙊

Mr Big tub of Unflavoered Greek Yogurt meet Ms. Bag of blueberries, I forcast a,marriage made in Heaven! ThankYou Orchids and Dragons for solving that problem. 😛

Well this goes back to our past topic Surgery-the easy way but yours truly think week experienced above posters first- cousin statement, friend,soon to be demoted to. mere acquaintance, Funny you don't look YOUNG enough for surgery! WTF? All I could think to say was to say with a sarcastic tone in my voice " How sweet and kind of you to say that, Phyllis-Anne!" Half of it she broke my over sensitive ❤, but the red-headed half wanted to scream YOU JUST CURDLED,THE MILK OF HUMAN LINDNESS IN MY SOUL, but the whipped puppy side of baby Frustr8 won and I slink away although I wasn't the one doing anything wrong.😧

Well,i like Peaches &Cream P.P. , if the Enriched Protein Drink Fairy dropped a case off at my front,door I would do an Elvis "Thank,You Very Much ". Now,my second favorist,yummy flavorite one. Muscle Milk Blueberry Greek Yogurt Drink. Last time I mentioned MMBGY, the Dietary Mafia reminded me,i added calories, decreased protein count,and how dare I allow something less than 30 gram protein cross my,lips! Ok I am a fruitaholic , bland vanilla doesn't turn my crank ! In my badder younger days I characterised vanilla milkshakes as thick, white and tasteless like one of my daighters,ex-boyfriends, rather have a,sugar maple stump, at least every spring during sap run they turned sweet. He was just DENSE. My third favorite breaks my,vanilla hating rule. Svelte French Vanilla. Only 11 grams, Dietary Mafia would say that's merely a recreational drink, something not to taken seriously, true,but,it is soybased, sits well on my tummy, and my white trash soul enjoys,it. it actually is refreshing icy cold. One I was not thrilled with was Equate in Vanilla. I got seduced into it Because still 30 grams at $2 cheaper. No no no, it has that vile evaporated milk taste I have always loathed. Back,when I worked at Wally World I bought their imitation Ensure/Slimfast in Strawberry or Vanilla because chocolate is a no-go because of my allergy. Drimk,one of those cans for lunch and be sick all afternoon from that vile evaporator- baby vitamin,laced taste. Yucky-poo! Honorable mention certainly to caramel P P, do not stubsitute Equate here they are not equivalent, either straight or snuck into coffee, be it high test or decaf. Protein 20,water, ok but I would still,rather drink,Propel and make up protein with tofu. Strawberry and Cream P P , nutri. at OSU gave me some, well better than dying of thirst, but I prefer something more strawberry intensive, haven't tried Bananas and Cream , somebody must be drinking,it b ut,i haven't yet. What I like is unsweetened pineapple juice, banana and frozen unsweetened strawberries whipped up into a icy smoothie. Yes I should drop,in spinach or kale for nutrition but it would ruin thevtadt and pretty color. Anybody have any idea what to do with 2 2.5 pound bags of frozen blueberries.?? Back in the old days I would make deep dish blueberry pies and go to Dietary Hades with all the other sinners!🍝

I would think hummas is also a good choice.

Well @Trixie82, my love, here is my latest timetable. July 1st my last day on 30,day electronic C Pap compliance record July2nd record faxed from local KCH sleep lab to OSU July2nd Jessica my case coordinator hand#delivers said fax to Valerie the Nurse-Practioner who mulls over it the rest of the week, Jessica meanwhile had gone on vacation July6th Valerie possibly calls with surgery date July 9th if Valerie didn't call already Jessica will call with date.After Frustr8 finishs passing out and coming back to consciousness, Frustr8 will,post with quivering finger the EDS (estimated surgery date) and all will rejoice, firecrackers will be set off and a good time will be had by ALL! 🎶Cue Brass Band!🎶

Of course we checked on you, you are one of us on Bariatric Pal and we take care of our own!

Y3ah @ Abrial dogs won't touch protein drink and they have been known. to drink from toilets, so their taste. buds aren't normally that finicky!🐶

I'm not giving up on Uncle Snuffly, you see I know I never will be free. I had 70 episodes an hour, that's about 1 per minute, and my father had it also. Although,it isn't always hereditary mine will be. As soon as I finish my dance toward Bariatric Surgery my Tomkitten may have to have a sleep eval also. Rather he'd inherit money from me instead of this!😰
