Although I would and maybe will accept 200 lbs, 175 seemed to fit in mybdesired size of Size 15 down from a current Size 26-28. If I remember right at 198 I was an 18 but that was 40 years ago.😝🌈

I am the adult child of two diabetics. Although I have never shown any signs of. the disease each time I have,a blood test I am fearful that I will be told I have now shown it. I hope at 72 I will not but perhaps my future RnY will also serve as a protective measure. Not my primary reason for surgery but I will accept even secondary blessings.😛

And I hope you are able to do it!🐬🐬🐬 What a neat thing to b have on your bucket list. I'm afraid I haven't looked that far ahead but perhaps I should.😝

if surgeons expect to have only perfect patients, doesn't it follow we should accept only perfect surgeons?😁

How about a slice,of lemon or lime? Also maybe sprigs of mint?

Can it be also on the inner surface of the thighs? I have that but always attributed it to PCOS.😙

I was looking through some papers and I found this. You have to reach out to your family-Put your hand out- If they slap it back-Reach out again if you care enough. I know I wrote this,down from a book, I think the author was Rebecca West.

Don't you think your body is trying to stop your surgery, this is it's last dich effort to keep things the way they are? But you've caught your body in its tricks, and this time you are not falling for it! You're going to wake up🌈 tomorrow and keep that appointment for your surgery.😷 You are smart, you know exactly what you're doing and you're the one in control. And even if Mr Body tries to protest afterward, you're still in control and you will be the ultimate winner.And every day,you see a scale or non scale victory, you will know it's worth all the things that came before. The world awaits you so 🌟Shine Baby Shine!😝😛😛😛😛

And society has,made me feel I'm worthless because of obesity, they believe I take up too much space in the world. And my self-esteem plummets and almost disappears. But I am working to change their minds, and as regards smaller -I may point out their minds are so small as to have atrophied. if they cannot accept a warm caring loving and intelligent person like myself I will say the root problem is not mine but theirs. Too many people seem to have fat-bashing as their,only hobby. isn't it a shame I have to go through the pain of Weight Loss Surgery to prove myself to such a bunch of uncaring people in society? But the joke will be on them for now I will live longer and stronger than ever I was given credit for. And like the Phoenix Bird of stories I will rise in triumph from the ashes of my former life and fly straight and true, and this my Bari-friends is a promise I shall fulfill!😝

Ken are you seeing this? It appears I am not the only one, I hope you can fix them as well as you did,mine. ......Regards Frustr8

I swear I saw it a month ago on Google because I looked up my 2 potential surgeons on it. Now it appears to have been taken down or disappeared into the sunset. All I can find now is Obesity Action Coalition and weight loss surgery the health partner and bariatric surgery source. The website that looked the closest was bariatricsurgerysource but the listings were a lot shorter now. The only Columbus surgeon listed was the rotten so-and-so that refused to do mine. I wouldn't have him touch me not even if they sprinkled glitter on him and named him Oberon from a Shakespeare play. I'm sorry I sent you on a fruitless search.😢

I was told post my surgery I would be on Lovenox injections. on all my other surgeries I was given Xerelto pills. Are these shots really better than my pills?. I have no problem giving or receiving shots, it. just seems rather fussy for the results. How long were you on blood thinners?. I have a history of lymphedema and lower leg venous stasis if that is relevant. Thank you in advance😌

Those roasted chickens lurk right next to the fresh baked bread in my store. Talk about obnoxious evil,stress upon my wavering convictions. Wanted to spray air freshener but with my luck it would be Apple cinnamon. Help, please remove me from here!😦

So did you all have good results? How are you feeling? Any regrets or are you just ready to move forward? Regardless I am very proud of you all!👍😝🌈

Thank you, I appreciate you answering me😓

My PCP is really gung ho on giving steroids, I'm no that thrilled to receive them . I wonder how much of this presurg,my,weight I'm dragging around is due to that? Will my future surgeon and I be able to rein him in or am I worrying about nothing?😓

I read on one of the other postings that diminished taste is the result of rapid ketosis. OP said it does get better with time.😌

what do you people think about Obesity Now's website? Did anybody gain any benefits by going there?

@SouthernBuns so glad to hear you have had your surgery now and v they didn't turn you into toast!Another person gone from my side and into the Victory Lane! Thank goodness we keep getting newbies or I'd be over here all alone!😢 So happy for you and your fine results, but don't be a stranger. We all love you over here still😛

Congratulations @balesmother4 you broke another barrier and now,you are in onederland. I hope 1 day to join you there. Curious to see how much weight. a liquid diet will take off of me. My,weight,is. so much I'll have to pass through Twoferville before I can make it to Onderland.😝

Congratulations and now center on g4tting healthier, stronger and fitter. Heal smoothly and quickly😛

Seems like the Baiatric Pal store has a lot of good choices. Have you taken advantage of their,monthly box? May be a way to try items, if you like any of the tastes you'll know what to order when you place an order the next. time. Think I may order a box myself.😛

Move slowly and smoothly and you should be okay.

if you can't find clear protein liquids in your town you might consider ordering f4om the Bariatric Pal store. Target, WalMart, Meijer in Ohio and Michigan, GNC, Sam's Club, Costco . I know Rite Aid pharmacy you can sometimes find single bottles, that way you can try them. until you find something that works for you without being stuck with tastes you hate and a major outlay of money.

I'm sorry to see Lex 2287 that you are,losing your hair, I know you've been very worried about that happening, maybe it won't last too long. Stay healthy in the meantime.
