Frustr8

I hope your journey toward your surgery stays this smooth. so many of us have had such a weird bumpy trek there., WE all get there eventually though. Do you know if you'll have a short or long liquid pre-diet before your surgery? It is strange to see each surgeon has their own. favorite plan, so many different methods. Good thing for them all -they do guide us into surgery pretty smoothly. I will be happy myself when I finally get my date.😛

There are usually good bargins at thrift stores. or do you possibly have something like consignment shoppes in your area? I have found name brand clothes at a greatly reduced price there. I agree you hate to put out too much money into a wardrobe when you only might be that size for a short while.I do hope you make every weight goal swiftly and smoothly.😛

@doxiemom and Jules.1 It is truly exciting when you can see your. special day just ahead. I hope you get your date soon, you probsbly won't mind if it turns to June, but I know you do really want May. It would be very nice to if you ended up surgery twins. Good luck to both of you..😛

Tyson has a variety of chicken nugget sized pieces with no breading. Tomkitten and I have eaten them, just taste like grilled🐔 chicken breast.😛

Now I will ask my future surgeon😷 this, it's my small intestine after all and surgeon probably will wonder why I want to know?😛💯sounds about right to me but I'll be the operatee not the one performing the surgery.😛

yogurt, sweet potatoes cantaloupe and spinach also good sources of potassium.Swiss chard, navy beans, lentils avocados, winter squash salmon Brussel sprouts and V8 juice. Of the top of my head,that's the ones I remember. There may be more that I'm not thinking,of. Hopefully there will be something on that list that may help. Almonds, cashews. pumpkin seeds. sunflower seeds all high in magnesium as well as broccoli. Could be a lack,of that, I remember they give magnesium sufate to slow down premature labor, if it works for those muscles stands to reason it might help,with cramping. 👍👌😝

Sure hope so, every one of my friends here is special and I'd,miss you!😞

The premade Jello,from the grocery tends to,be more firm, maybe,the would help with the lack of chewing. If you are making it at home skimp,a little on the water, might make more tough and rubbery.😋

I have a theory about weight loss. it's like an old junky jalopy. It sputters, it jerks and is Hart to control. And just when you think you have figured out how to keep it going, it stops and won't go at all for a while. You can oil it up with diet, give it the gas of exercise, but until it's ready to move you are going nowhere. So polish yourself up and enjoy your Non Scale Victories. And I'm sure you'll reach the goal line of your weight goal, it's just going to take awhile!😝🚩😝

And with the new Beta app they just started I can't see my messages or edit after I submit. Used to go back in for up to 2 hours if I made a good. Can't do it anymore. Oh well at least I am back, if yours continues go to Ken on the Web Management,forum. I know it has another name but I,can't look it up, that feature went also.😦

You either have some extra stitching there or that's where the stomac came out if you were sleeved. Don't feel guilty,if you're not suffering, you probably,did all yours getting ready. Enjoy it for what it is. Proud things went so very well!😝

Glory glory hallelujah, I knew there would be an answer and it turns out its a good one! You have my permission to still get married whenever you and BF want to. But forward unto surgery, when do you think you'll be ready to do that? You have worked so very very hard for this moment! Go for it Darling, go for it! Hugs and a Big Smile😝

And while you 2 are getting your renovation surgery, I'll be having my mind probed by Dr Kramer, the psychologist at OSU. Wish I could trade places, at least you 2 know what your outcome will be. I'll get through it cause I have to, but I don't have to relish the idea, do I? He is undoubtedly not the ogre I imagine in my mind, May even be a very nice guy. I'm just as wary as a wild animal🐻, can I trust people? I wish I had a sincerity suit to wear.😞

Yeah but weed gives you the "munchies" do you really,need to tax your kangaroo pouch or bananarama sleeve with Doritos, Chest is and God knows what else? Bad little Mattymatt, but of course it could help get rid of the nausea you were feeling. You're a big boy and all grown,up, I know you'll decide right.😛

The word is rebuts, once I got the Beta version I lost my ability to edit my postings😙

Take a walk,outside in the fresh sir. Spring is upon,us in Northern Hemisphere while our friends in,South Africa,, New Zealand,and Australia will be starting their Autumn, both very pretty seasons. I put on Sweating to the Oldies and bebop,with Richard Simmons, any exercise DVD will work. Spectrum. (nee TimeWarner) has a Senior Citizen one on Demand I put it on a March in place with them. Watch TV,Trump gets up,and says something , then Democrat gets on and says what,he meant, then a Republican debuts that. It would. be humorous if Trump wasn't playing for real in the 🌏. Someone once said the Chaplain looks out at the Senators and Represenatives and then,prays for the safety of the USA. I sure can understand that. You know if "pro" is for something and "con" is against, can we expect progress from Congress? Just Saying!😋

I just got back after,spending,12. hours reading Unfortunatly Bariatric Pal has stopped. Wouldn't have made it back without the electronic intercession of Ken the Bariatric Pal Web Administrator. He didn't give up until he found a way to solve my problem. He deserves a big THANK,YOU from me!😛

You're giving me hope mine will be just that good! Now you heal up and get healthy, you hear?😝

And welcome home, not that🏥hospital was that bad but it's goo d to be in familiar surroundings again!🏡

I meant chicks, stupid auto-correct!😢

And how small you are becoming. I dream,of someday holding up a pair of my size 26 levis next to a smaller,body. it's going to happen in a year, maybe 18 months. Since I'm so flippin' old,i may not lose as quick as the 20-30 young bricks and dudes, but as Larry the Cable Gut says I'll get er done!!!!! 😝🚩

oh goody @aussielady I have on of those already. Did you know they are coded by color. Mine is Green, I'll have to ask @Manpower he is very gym and PT literate, he'll know the answer. Girls-- a little Grandma trick. Raise. your right arm,up, okay? Now put it over top and reach for your left ear. Now while its up there try belching, sometimes just that much movement will,help. Try it sitting down if that doesn't work stand up when you do it. Just,might give you some relief . If not at so,ithen you've lost nothing but a couple minutes of your time.😝 Incidently I'm very proud of you both, you came through it relatively unscathed. You both deserve a big smile, unfortunately all I have is an emoji one😝👍👌

Good luck, you sound committed and maybe just a little stubborn. I think you'll make it after all. Want pictures when it happens, okay?😝

I'd like to be on the high end, 75-80% but you don't always get exactly what you want. I'll work with it to the best of my abilities but suspect it will be what it will be, so let the chips fall where they will. Still much better,than remaining obese for the rest of my natural life😝

1st stool,maybe left over from clear liquid protein days, 2nd I would guess either left over surgery effects, you might have had a small bleed during surgery, have you had anything purple or grape flavor?, grape always makes green. Or simply hung around inside you so,long everything built up or got super-digested? No better answer, just my guesses.😢
