Frustr8

Hi @ fluffyandiknowit,it's now the eve of your surgery. Have you,got everything packed? Are you ready for your big day? Do,you know yet what time it will be? And I don't, know if you ever said where you are having the surgery at? zits easier to send,good wishes and prayers🙏 if we know where to point. them. At any rate please update us when your surgery is finished, that way we can CELEBRATE with you.!!💙😛💜

You will, you can and you'll end up with a smile on your face, a spring in your step and triumph in your heart.💚Not always easy and not always fast but the improvements you make will really last😛

Plaster a smile on your face for me, now one foot in front and then the other, please,know many have been where you're at, they made it through and I believe you will too. You don't believe in you, well I,do and that's somewhere to start. You will start to. see it is worth it, I see a strong yet scared girl, you'll work past the fear and pretty soon you are going to see the sunlight around you. And Strawbeery, you can do it!

I would go the liquids , don't fast and starve, you want your strength for the stress of surgery, don't turn yourself weak and light-headed. And UPDATE us when the deed is done and you,feel good enough to do it📝

By all logic they should not, 2-3 lbs. you might have needed,a bathroom visit before your weighing. Now if you had spiked to,275 or 280 they would have seen it as a red flag. Sending my good thoughts your way. I feel there is a June surgery in your future!😷👍😛

Well burgers are protein that's a plus,but animal flesh usually has fat, that's a minus. My opinion is a well- seasoned female individual: Trust you haven't boogered everything up, it would have better if you had resisted the burgers whisperings, yeah they said "Eat us, we're all you've got and nobody will ever know" well you,know and you were bigger than them. Do I do perfect myself? Nope,i just,brought,in a plate with peanut butter graham crackers and a bottle of,protein shake. Guess which one I reached for? Now I could say since I don't have a EDS it's okay, maybe but probably not in the long run. But,I'm not going to beat myself up over it, it is what it is and we just move on. To sin once is human, it's when you persist that it's devilish. Samuel Johnson, a contemporary of Shakespeare? said: "Clear your mind of can't" so,move on, don't do it anymore and pray your surgeon doesn't test for burger breath , cause if he does your little tugboat just sunk!🚢

You are there for renovations,remodeling, and realigning your life and health, not to host or hostess a beach party. This is a stone cold serious undertaking and not an afternoon at the theme park. You won't come out there with your name embroidered on a hat, 3 balloons and a half empty container of buttered popcorn. You'll come home knowing you and your health are forever changed. But you have come this far and you'll stay the course until your goals are met. You'll be too busy for silly reindeer games, besides this is a grown up undertaking, 😛👍And you'll make it after all!

And if they come to the conclusion you're having your entire abdomen tatooed with a map of the world🌏, let them live with their gossipy poor conclusions. it's really none of their business!💚😛💙

A long-time poster and friend on Bariatric Pal. He had an RnY bypass, was losing weight, healing well, things were going pretty well for him. Then he had some health struggles, those of us that knew him and knew him well are concerned because we haven't heard from him for a while, which isn't like him. We hope he is getting better but we JUST DON T KNOW.😯

Well it's so long I've been waiting, I've faced my fears, cried my tears, queried my questions ,faced my demons, called them out by name, wondered my wonders, walked and walked, longing for something to happen , instead of all this talk, Crawded feeling humbled, begging once again , if it can't get it this time, well it will be just a sin. Watched others move on by me, sometimes they gave a wave, will I get my surgery before my health turns grave? Wondering what I did wrong? I did all they said. Will I wake up , know it's finished in a bariatric bed.? Well I can't quit now, I've traveled oh so far, I'll keep on my journey until I see that shining star. Three years I've been trying, three years until the end, A long time I've been trekking but this victory I'll win. ❤💙😝💜💚

Premier Protein Caramel in Maxwell House,Half Caff, bye bye👋,International,Delite, you delight me no more!☕

So You are a Muskegon Michigan Mercy Mamma, looking to have,the,best of luck with Dr Gluck. How alliterative it all is! Good Wishes and prayers for your future days and you. I'm waiting today ,hoping to hear from Jessica at OSU. Yeah I'm one of those verdompt Buckeyes but I'm very lovable despite it! Maybe Jessica will be able to give me a date, tell me whether it will be Dr Noria or Dr Needleman as my surgeon 😷and if I am missing anything.I have surgery fever, I WANT IT I WANT IT So Bad. I started out in August 2015 and have had starts , pauses, ups, downs, hairpin curves , I just want this Bariatric Train 🚝to make it to the station🏫 where I can disembark and start on my new life!🙎I am going to be a RnY bypass , No fear I just wish it Here!😁💜😁

Hmmm so she would not want to explain how she cleared you for surgery and now your Daughter had no Mother? Obviously she plans to sympathize with Daughter over the fact you had a 💜attack or stroke and died? Or what would be equally bad, you had a stroke, are paralyzed, Belfast and Daughter had to put her own plans on hold, drop out of University and stay home as your caregiver, because as a single parent, you'd have no one else to turn to. It is better to have you remain obese, your joints broke down so you can't play or do things with her that you used to do, that if the two of you go for a hike and you're lagging back , red-faced and out of breath, and she has to stop and wait for you to catch up. You're in a wheelchair at her graduation or wedding because your legs just can't,hold you,in anymore. You're wearing,black or navy blue at her wedding(assuming you're still alive) because all the pretty pastel Mother-of-the-Bride dresses don't come any larger than a 14 and as a round lady you buy what you can find. She shows her babies, your grandchildren a picture in a frame and says "This was your Grandma" and the oldest, let's say a little girl says "Gee Mommy, I look a lot like her, I wish I had gotten to meet her. then she says words that cut your daughter to the heart, I know because I said them about an uncle I never got to meet on both sides of my family " Do you think she would have loved ME?"Yes pictures are nice to have but they never replace flesh and blood. They will miss out on knowing you and you'll never get the chance to know themm, hold them in your arms, miss kussing the top of their little fuzzy sweet-smelling heads. Ditch that evil maladjusted broad with the dime-store CrackerJack certificates on the wall, get somebody else who really knows you to write an approval paper or certificate. I don't know how it could be arranged but I wish you were last person she was allowed to consult with. This hits me very hard because something similar happened to me, you were lucky she said her poisonous musings to your face. Mine told me my evaluation was perfect, shook my hand, wished me well with the upcoming surgery, told me to come back and visit her anytime. Its not that I am miss-remembering , my son who is an adult was in the room that day also. Then my ***** of an evaluation consultant sent a report 2 months later after I had finished all my other requirements. Oh and how noxious it was, she judged I was neurologically, emotionally and psychologically impaired and about as intelligent as a pile of mud. And worse my surgeon believed what she wrote, cancelled my surgery, and my time, and, money and the money of my insurance carrier counted for nothing. But I am and will be a survivor, I established contact with another Center of Excellence hospital as they are considered the best, made sure this time EVERYTHING is in perfect order, the evaluation from their person was perfect(and I recorded it all on my cellphone for, you see I had been burned badly before) and I should be receiving my surgery in a month,or 6 weeks. I have been treated in a wonderful way at this program . Odd, when I look back , my gut told me there was something weird at Place#1, I stuffed it down, said maybe they weren't a friendly group of people, maybe I was expecting too much from something no more than a business arrangement. Learn from me --lf the music sounds off-key, it is!! Hugs and 💞from Central Ohio. PS watch for the conclusion of my story, you can CELEBRATE with me 🚩😝🚩

A very little State but I believe their Healthcare is Super Great! Anxious to Hear and I will continue to watch with great interest!😝

Johns Hopkins, Mister, you do not just fool around, do you? Out west Everything's Up to Date,in Kansas City, could be true but more important Everything is Cutting Edge and At the Fore Front in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins. Worldwide a Johns Hopkins diploma and degree are respected, what nobody knew before, JH retained the best of the best and they will be performing my friend SAU's Surgery! Prayers🙏 and Good Wishes flying your Way!

Hurray for that! Sorry for all the people in the Burn Zone but every so glad this member of the fantastic Down Under gals is still safe.☁and ☔and a quiet Tuesday evening for you!

I'm right where you used to be and hope to at least make it down to where,you are now, and then see what happens after that. Funny I always thought I'd be built good about,190-195. but maybe from what you described, Hmm I just wonder. Still that promise of smaller sizes is quite beguiling, deflated boobs and batwing arms. and a belly like a deflated balloon not withstanding. But you are alive-er,and healthier than you started, if I promise not to join and run through a nudist park, may I please still grow down. and join you,there?👉😣👈

@SydneySleever, Sydney,made the National newscasts in the USA , hope you are safe in the midst of all that!😯

Whew what a relief,that has got to be for you! Now if we can find Mattymatt and get him healed,as well the sun will,shine again in Bariatric-land.😌

What change you got from 5 little slits,in your tum-tum, I want an incision maybe a foot long. That way the evil demons fly,out and the healing weight loss goodies get sutured in. 😁

A-one A-two and "Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner-Go O.U.!📣

Bryn910 💞you share my son's birthday,now I know for certain only exceptional people are born on that day!😝

I had been eating lower,than the calorie count my dietician wanted, did the weight fall off? Nope, nearly as fluffy🐑as ever. FYI,the larger sizes have a much bigger range than the wee single.numbers. Maybe 5-10 pound change,takes you from a 6 to 8 , close to 40lbs between a 26 and a 24,👿

My absolute favorite PP peaches and cream, strawberries and cream then caramel. Wal-Mart has come,out,with their Equate brand, same protein and,calories. But their caramel doesn't taste as good as PP, oh it's not horrid but has an aftertaste of evaporated milk, Premier doesn't.

Hokey Doakey, sit down and brace yourself. This how it was for Tomkitten & myself. Your doctor gives you a prescription. You get a. big gallonish sized plastic jug. You fill it with water, preferably cold, add the packet of powder and shake and shake it up until it's well-blended. You can drink clear water, eat jello , weak juice, that kind of things. About 45 minutes to 1 hour after the first cupful , you start moving your bowels, you drink that liquid at intervals,it actually,is Magnesium Citrate, comes in plain which I DO,NOT recommend, lemon and a cherry/raspberry. I have always had the lemon but Fluffy Chix in Texas has. had the other flavor. And you keep and going to move your bowels, the porcelain throne becomes your nearest and dearest buddy, and you begin to wonder where it is all coming from. I swore I was going for Farmer Browns entire herd of Jerseys, about 9-10 PM what is coming out is clear or slightly,yellow watery fluid and you are done after drinking that entire jug of liquid.. I didn't trust my body that much so I dozed in the recliner just in case. And now you are spic and span inside. And your surgeon 😷is so proud and overjoyed that you have left his whole working areas so clean and tidy😁
