Frustr8

Congratulations on your new pouch-'hood, ShellsAlmostThere. I'm glad to meet several of Proudgrammy's friends from before. Nurseygirl, I did pass my re-eval with Dr Kramer, now I have a meeting with Nurse Practioner, Dietician, and case manager on May 24th so my case is moving forward, maybe surgery in June? I have had 2 knee replacements myself, need shoulder surgery but want my RnY done 1st, then maybe shoulder by September? Well we will see what the summer will bring. May have to move soon, landlord making threatening noises,☝ if he stays in current mood I'll have to be out of here🏡 by July 15, don't want that, don't want to move📫 either but he doesn't want to do🔨🔧🔩🔌🚽 repairs, he wants to sell to me but I don't know if I can run into that much 🔎financing, I'm on fixed income and between rock and hard place, and he dang well knows it. Perhaps I'll gain clarity if I reason all this out. 😕

Hey@It's about Me, I need an update, how are you doing 2 days afterwards? Did things go good, are you still in hospital🏥 or home🏡? I know it's only been a couple days, but, doggone it, I miss your cheery posts😕

Rock the NSV baby, rock it to the wall and back👍🙈🙉🙊👍

You soon will start the path from Big Fat Daddy to Slim, Trim dude. Have you seen the shirts and hats that say. "(Old F*** formerly known as Stud Muffin"? I want me one that says" Sweet Chickie-Baby formerly known as Big Momma" Hey it could happen, I've got the motivation!😜👼

If your kiddos have such problems also reach out 📞your local Mental Health Association ---they may also have a support group that can help. Yes it does take a village sometimes but also help should start at home, have a family meeting. You'll I believe find proper resources. Now a big hug, honey, it's going be all right.☝😝

Think Little Green may also be your surgery twin, haven't seen her post operation update yet.😪 Good luck Sara Bear and all the rest, hoping to hear good things from you all!😜☝👼🌈

I think my surgeon also requires them so reading your journal with great interest.

What a small world my mother's maiden was Hubbell, our ancestors came from Ribsford Parish in Worchester, if you have any ties to there we are indeed distant cousins, the branch who at the time of the American Revolution and became United Empire Loyalists(known in the US as Tories) and moved to Ontario Canada, spell theirs Hubble and are the family the Hubble Telescope are named after, Curious, when doing further research we found out my father's ancestors came from Lancaster so both branches came from within 60 miles of each other. My paternal greatgrandmother, Mary Scott, came from Edinburgh, and from her came probably the Celtic red-gold hair if not the Malones in Northern Ireland , on my maternal side. In my youth I stood just under 6 feet tall, taller than either parent, now my bariatric surgeon says I'm 5ft8in so my spine must shortened down or my weight drug me down. I currently am at 320 or so, down from 355, a nice weight if I were hurling a caber at the Highland Games but more than a mite too heavy for day to day life. Still I have lasted for 72 years and with surgerys help I pray to last a little longer on this earth. I will talk on most any subject, if you have any more questions about bariatric surgery I'll do my best to help. I have trying to receive it since August 2015, quite a story there,but have had plenty time to do research. May not know it all😝 but I do know a fair amount! And in the meantime⏰ I am chief cook,🍳 bottlewasher 🍼and cheerleader📣 for everyone else. If you want to chat I'm always in reach of my smartphone📞And I too will be having RnY bypass--- within a month or 6 weeks in Columbus Ohio. Until later!

Well this makes me howling mad on your behalf. Doggone and you were doing so good. I was so proud, well I'm still proud just peeved over the tun of events. Keep me updated, okay?

Keep on keeping on. Remind youself I am doing the right thing At the right time for me And for the right person, myself And nothing anyone else says, anyone else tries to do, I will not be stopped- for I have a goal now and I will keep on to the finish😝☝👼🌀🌺🌸

Keep on girls, your Finish Line is now in sight!

Hey hey hey you are moving right along aren't you? Congratulations, keep the faith and keep on keeping on, okay? Your Bari-Bud Frustr8🌺😝🌸

Harleymama11 maybe I also can help with your fears, climb on my virtual lap anytime you want. I am 72, anticipating my own RnY surgery within the next month or so. In the last few years I have had both a son and my husband die, so death does not frighten me. You'll have to consider how much healthier you'll be without obesity. Obesity over the years wore out my joints, made me short of breath, slowed my moments, tried stomping my spirit into the ground, now I'm trying regain control back,of my . life And I find I want to spend my remaining years not looking,like Bip the Michelin Tire Man's twin sister. I have had enough sadness already so,i figure the next part will be the best part of life. And I want to hang around and see it. Why don't you join me in this bumpy thumpy journey?😝😗😜

Wal-Mart has Protein 20 in a mixed berries flavor.😝

Elephants are nice, tell me, do you still bleed maize and blue? I would like to be as slender as Brutus Buckeye, or at least that athletic. Unfortuately I'm nearly as round as a buckeye or a basketball, I have lost a little weight but it's like a dimple on a cantalope, not very noticable. That's another reason I need,this WLS tool very badly. And I'm getting older day by day, so I don't. have a cushion of time.

Yeah @Chrisb428 I've tasted your Roaring Springs water, pleasant as bottled water usually isn't. I usually buy Aquafina because,it is easily accessible,in my area.😛

You are supposed rock the baby👶 to sleep, NOT the👴 daddy!

If it works for him, it's not going to bother us. He"s the Big Kahuna,in the operating room after all. Good,🍀luck,good healing and a happy life in the future.😛🌈

Do you know the other meaning of PCOS? Pretty Crappy Outlook Sweetheart💔

Toodles your only desire is that you want to be sedated? Well I've waited so long and I still want to be surgically lacerated. Circle the wagons now, then the shout of Surgery Ho! And like the overweight plowhorse 🐎mare I am ---I go clomping on my big(well they Are size 12-13 ladies) hooves into the battle' s fray! !

Well my acceptable weight

I am 72 years old probably,last time I had BMI of proper level? 12 years old 110lb--5ft7in Bariatric Surgeon's,Goal weight 135-135lb. My Dream Goal Weight 175lb Acceptable Goal Weight

You are quite pretty in face, I bet you are vet proud of your weight loss victories..😛

Beautiful furballs of love- aren't you glad they adaopted you? I have 2 lovely girls that resemble yours. Mine are Cassie(all,tiger, side fur swirls instead of spripe bars) and Squeaky. I am honored they share their lives and home with me!!!.😝🐯🐯

I hope next Monday will,be a success for all of you. May each of you have smooth surgeries, healthy recoveries and beautiful future lives. You'll celebrate this anniversary,the rest of your lives 😝👍
