Frustr8

That's true but we plump and chubby yearn for the Bryant folks to take a hike down their Lane, me I hope,to go from Add43rd Demensions to Minimal Observation and no longer roam in the Roamans catalogue. And the day when Just My Size isn't, Huzzahz!😜

I have some svelte brand organic shakes from WalMart, have you tried them and if so,how do you rank them? Also have some Premier Protein on my shelf, started laying them on when I get to start, want to get closer and get into the final run for the Gold.

Oh I am sure you'll get something whether it's Valium, Ativan, Can as or another benzodiazepine family member. The best thing to do is tell them you're feeling a little tense,they'll either give you spill or put it in your IV. What I always loathed? They often give you a little,cup of sour nasty stuff to,drink, supposed to settle or make your stomachbsecretions less acid? Vile stuff, had before 85% of my surgeries, to me one of the unhappy memories. I even had it before baby# 3, although he was vaginal he was the size of a baby lumberjack, if they had to switch to C-section and a general I'd be less likely to vomit and aspirate. Remember to ask for the scope patch to go behind your ear, cuts down on nausea/vomiting and lasts maybe 3 days? After my pancreatitis I made friends with Zofran, hadn't been that nauseated since pregnancy. Hey kid --you're going to do fine. wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it. Think of it as a rite if passage, because it is, you will be remodeled internally,but like most remodels, you're going to been all shiny, more functional, instead of a open floor plan you'll be a sleek gastric, but that's cool. You'll not need a 50,000 mile overhaul, you'll be good to go.🚙🚗🚒🚘

Hopefully you'll see Senor or Senorita Surgeon before your surgeon before your surgery. One poster said she saw hers for about 45 seconds before the anesthesiologist put her to sleep, at least she,thinks it was him, everybody had masks on. Another said she saw hers the morning afterwards when he made rounds, she thinks it was him because she had seen him 7 months before in the office and never again. I know delegation of responsibility is common but for what your insurance or you yourself are paying him, if he's not going to see you personally again, he should at least fax you an 8 by 10 glossy picture so you'll recognize him. Wish my ex-surgeon had given me his picture, that way I'd have something to throw darts at. My future surgeons, I just,pull up OSU's Bariatric website on Google or Firefox and there they are, in full smiling pose..

I did say LASIX and a Uber Dose of it. Gosh I wish the Beta format allowed me to go back and correct, this Marsmallow Android and I have different ideas on spelling, I don't think English is its First Language😒

I have some shoes, bought them either a day when I'd taken an I bet dose of basic or early in the day before standing up at work. Another lady said her feet went down to in width and a shoe size, want to rock these shoes even if they aren't F M heels. What to know What, Does FM stand for? Okay you come out of bathroom or bedroom clad in a pair of very high heels nekkid, you look at the man in your life and utter a 2word phrase. Yeah that is what very high heels are called, like 3in.+. nasty but the truth. Why at 72 would I put on something that if I fall, and it's 8 to 5 I will, give me floor burns on not-exposed to the sun areas. And any guy my age is either going to die from a heart attack, stroke or blindness from the glare off of all this white flesh. Yeah another reason,for me to,lose weight, I'm keeping the male half of life from such a traumatic death. Yes men , you're perfectly welcome, I feel it's the least I can do. Not the usual NSV you're looking for, but I do what I can do!👈😜👉

And Tree Mystic aren't you excited? My,own surgery, within the next month or 6 weeks, it is exciting interspersed with moments of sheer apprehension. But like everyone else I will get through it and so shall you. Let's watch for the conclusion of each other's stories!😜

Where does one find A2 milk? Is there a well-known brand like Sealtest, Borden. Fairlife or do you have to know a farmer, or are there regional ones I havent,heard of? I live in the Midwestern US( in Ohio).😔

MANPOWER I miss hearing from you. Now that you're healing,so well, we don't get to hear from you? A body would think you don't love us anymore? And you should remember you are our favorite Nebraskan, well next to Larry the Cable Guy! Didn't Debra Winger date one of your Senators way back? And I don't mean Katleen Sebelius, she was Ohio Governor John Gilligan's daughter. He was the reason an Interstate doesn't go through my county. See my county, Knox, is perpetually Republican, so of course nobody much voted for his Democrat self, out of revenge he made sure we didn't have even a foot of I-71, comes within 3 miles of our western border. There was,supposed to be an Interstate. connector Route from south of Bellville on I 71 to I 70 west of Newark , rather a mini Interbelt, I think maybe it's number was going,to be I - 153 or something similar, that was maybe 30 years ago but it still hasn't been built and it looks like it never will, largely due to Gilligan and his snit fit. Every few years one of the commisioners or city fathers has a PLOM,moment. This term comes from Mrs Gamgee, our BariPal in Red Deer Alberta, it stands for Poor Little Old Me, they. snivell about how the surrounding counties get moneys we don't. Do they point this out to Columbus or Washington DC? Nope,they just whine. Come to think,of it, Kansas had the dubious honor,of ,Ms,Sebelius, not you. And Gov. Gilligan looks up from his coal,-shoveling in Hades,and thinks he still has the last laugh.😁

And I will cheer you on, Tuckersmom, you are a wonderfully special person and I am happy our lives touched on Bariatric Pal.😜

I'm sorry the rest of my post dropped off into oblivion, don't know if it is recoverable.

And I am grateful,i,no longer work

And Beta98 I love your post,and the fact this stream is back out in public. The OP spoke to me as well as you, I have a lot,of the "I Wonders" that she did, I think,we all do. I suspect. as I get smaller, and it is starting even though i am a "slow'-losing "presurg . I say to myself once, I'm put on all,liquids, I'll speed up. Still,may not too fast, post- menopausals are pokey at that. I find myself angry that some of the men who wouldn't to give me a second glance before now are friendly, perhaps,they are only picking up,on my new confidence, but irrationally I seethe inside.😬 Maybe as more pounds leave I'll come to terms with their response, who knows? I have spent so many years being the pudgy buddy, could I actually be desirable? All,I know for certain, surgery and the further weight loss are going,on the surface, to change my appearance, can the inner "me" cope with the change? Stay tuned my friends, this could get interesting.😁 And I will not be a sleever but have a bypass but most everything else will hold true for me. Stick around, okay?

Now, sit on your Squatty Potty and say to yourself "This too shall Pass". Take your miralax and remember "An Empty Colon Is A Happy Colon" And I hope I can keep all my own transit systems express instead a pokey local,becausebthis could happen to,me before long. Especially when I go,on liquids, that's the part I dread.

Customs is going to ask you if you have anything to declare. Just give them your best Arnold smile and say. I'M BACK!!

And if you are very very lucky it will be so easy , you'll wonder if you could have phoned☎ your part in.😜

I suspect I will grit my teeth every,morning, every bedtime I will say Every day is one day sooner to surgery. Remember my peeps, I have had the equivalent of a 13 month pregnancy carrying the surgery dream around, while many of you have had a smoothly greased slide into your sleeve or RnY I have continued to waddle along waving as you zoomed by. Oh I've helped each of you set,off your fireworks, but I never got a sparkler, or even a box of bang snaps out of the deal. Always a bridesmaid but not the Bariatric Bride. But I may still be the June Bariatric Bride, I've ordered the houquet, shoes and tiara, I'm going to be ready for my Surgical Bridegroom when he calls me to him. I feel a little like a Jerry Springer bride, don't care about ratings --just going to be sure to make an appearance--.Keep tuned in, you don't want to miss this one!👼

I was peacefully re'setting up My Fitness Pal this AM when my son brought in our mail. Those of you who have been following my progress toward my RnY surgery know my path has had ups and downs, twists and hairpin turns like an amusement park roller coaster. The mail contained a bill from the psychological center I had,an evaluation at last December. Yes the self-same one that stabbed me in the back. I went there, they were an independent consulting place not part of former hospital and its bariatric center. Went in there, cheerfully naive about those people. Mamma always taught me that if you were nice to people, they are always nice back. I asked my son, of adult age, to accompany me. Since the deaths of his brother in 2008 and his father in 2012 we routinely attend each other's appointments. Also, I had never been to this place before, I may not show it on Bariatric Pal, but in real life I am rather shy. So you could also call my son my "security blanket." Completed partially on tablet, partially verbally 300+ questions, varying from " have you ever hurt an animal?" through " did you hate your parents & which one more" to "have you always had a satisfying sex life?" Yeah things I could see no relationship to bariatric surgery, but I still answered all of them to the best of my ability and factually. At the end of this session, the female psychologist shook my hand, told me everything was perfect, I had passed all facets properally, shook my hand and wished me Well with my future. Surgery. My son remembers everything as I do. Even remarked after we,left Mom, you did great! Aren't you glad that's over?" So I continued with the rest of my prerequirements, finished them the 16th of January and waited to be notified of my surgery date. I was notified on February 20th I had not passed this psych eval., she stated I was psychologically and emotionally unstable and lacked the mental capabilities to understand bariatric surgery. So this surgeon and his 2 partners declined to perform surgery based on this. Today I received a bill from these people. after insurance they feel I should send them cash money. Why should I pay this group of 2 faced double dealers a penny of my Social Security? They have been paid already by insurance, had I been as sneaky as them I would have instucted insurance not to. It is a smallish amount of money but it is the principle of the thing! What do YOU think?

Mayhaps we had a creative writing seminar at the sheltered workshop I was at?😱

I must be blessed for once, usually I'm the one not. Today I m only getting Long click and an infrequent one about a faulty attempt at posting, that was this AM , rebooted and haven't had it since.😜

most places won't let you drive home yourself, my hospital wanted you to have an adult with you for 4-6 hours. Last December I went home and took a nap,in June 2015 when I had my first I stopped at Krogers and did my grocery shopping on the way home.

Justifiable family-cide, if not I'll go for an insanity plea cause they done made me crazy like most of them are!😺😺😸👸😺😺😺

one can hope, YES one can hope÷🙆💇

Not in the food -ksloan-not in the food!🍝☕

Try Lactaid pills, I think they still sell them at WallyWorld or pharmacies.
