Frustr8

Wowser, some of those I have acheived, some not yet, but a mini-NSV for me, noticing how the clothing suggestions grow so much at 18 or 20, it's like a Brand-new World to quote a Disney Song. Am really enjoying putting Pukey Green, Liver and Baby Poop Yellow prints behind me, and running towards both pastels and vibrant yet feminine shades. No more Good Enough for this Golden 🐤 chick!

Well well Mrs Gamgee, today is Surgery Eve, and I am so proud of you staying the course. I am excited as if you were my sister, and in one way, you really are, you have been with me through some of my briars and brambles along the way. Now comes your day to shine and I am sure you will. Prayers🙏, best wishes and a Hug from ME on this day÷

Sounds like a perfect plan, I like the dissolving in hot water part, the thing I hated , besides the sheer time-waste grinding and grinding more, was the sheer pettiness of everything, especially my multi-bite. And I had do it twice a day, was SO happy I could back to my once-daily prenatal one. Just 1 and you're done, other people have opted for patches just to avoid Gritty City meds.

More common than they admit. To me, plain water tastes bitter, and Heaven help you if you present me with liquids at room temperature, reminds me of being caught in a shower of #1, and that's not a Happy Place to me.

That doctor that used to be on frequently on Fox and Friends, they called him Dr Manny, anyway. he is from Cornell Weill, I always was very impressed with him. Last name may have been Gonzales, I do forget for sure. There's so much crammed in my brain, at times something just drops over the edge into oblivion.😛🌈📦😛

And I just posted to Sheribear how miserable I have been all day, upchucking and dry heaves, and the durn nurse who returned my call, told me To go talk to a Bariatric Social Worker, I ha ave not gone wacky - woo, today I am physically ill! 8 months of trying to be a Good rule-following Elf and this the response I get? Just ate or rather drank the broth off of WonTon soup, by now not over-enamoured of chicken-based broth but lightest thing I could think of. Will it remain in me? Guess I'll wait and see,usually within 15, 30 minutes tops, it re- emerges, only slightly worse for wear. At this point, I would actually relish an IV instead of something P.O, Maybe after I get some rest I will feel better tomorrow.

Thanks Sheribear68 for your post; you have perfect timing for me. I believe when they get a moment to think about it, I suspect I will have a duplicate diagnosis. Woke up this Tuesday feeling nauseous, thought maybe I was too long since last meal so ate small or at least tried to eat small amount of no sugar added cereal and skim milk. Of course it didn't have good results, called my Bariatric Clinic at Ohio State, it's on a file-card thingie they gave me way back when , they wanted to know if you were having nausea/emesis all day. So I called, was reminded this in Well-Patient Clinic day but they would have a nurse return my call. When she did, she refused my list of symptoms, and told me I should speak to a console for bariatric social worker, hey if I show any signs similar to depression , it's because I am physicall I'll not maladjusted. I was dry-heaving when she called me, not putting on an act. Well well, I guess in the morning I should call my PCP, ask if I need a referall to see our new gastroenterologist or whether I can direct-call him. Obviously that durn nurse thinks I have gone wacky-woo or something. And I am inching closer and closer to 200, only 14 pounds from there last Friday, she actually told me Pounds don't Matter, Whaaat? Then why did I have surgery but to decrease my excess poundage? My abdominal skin wasn't enough of a wreck that I needed 6 addiitional scars showing?, nobody looks in my navel but I have one there too. Now there, like the tops of my thighs , look like wrinkled silk.That's what fabric they resemble, I rather expected hanging panni, but this wrinkled? Nope that was a surprise.

I would take feeling full anytime over feeling Ready to Puke, today there are Storm Clouds in my heart and I wonder if it will turn worse rapidly. Tried some Bran Buds this am, trying to add fiber in the hopes I will become more regular with #2. NOW WHAT?

Here my friend!😛

Cheers,smiles and Hugs, you have landed on the Rest-of-Your Life Side of Surgery and it is Really Nice over Het

Thank You FLUFFY Chix, there are pointers i n there we do all need to remember. Just like the surgery is not the EASY WAY OUT, living the post- surgery life is also not easy, there are days that seem so pfft, you yearn for a different taste,texture, anything to release the blahs, that could be why some sneak in some snacks or don't eat wisely.

Maybe feeling " fat" is your body's way of saying " I'm still ME,no matter what people outside see, I'm still the Real Me down in here" I've spoke often that only does my body look different, my face does also. I Look in the Mirror, and I truly often think it's someone else trying to pull a trick on ME. That can't be Mama's Frustr8 after all, I don't remember her looking like THAT anytime in her life, and I have been around since her first attempts at self'-ego 70+ years ago!🔎

Peaceful thoughts and Smooth Sailing, My Friend!

So glad to see Vavoon and Ruby both made it through without horrid things to slow them down on their recoveries. Way to go, Ladies!

It is rough -But you are Tuff- you're going to still make it through-- This is something I can guarantee YOU. Day by Day small steps👣 until you make it to where you should ve!

Hi from one of the other "O"s, Ohio, glad to see Cala you're doing pretty good a little,more than a month out. Sure hope you do find a few more State Peers!

Wonder if the ones who do approve it are coffee- drinkers themselves? It would be easier to approve something that never caused yourself any trouble.

Had a surgery twin , male , he dropped and just seemed to go on and on. Meanwhile I was just chug A chugging. Sorry about my attempt to change your gender, it would have been easier to tell you. that you were premenopausal. But unless you were having Sympathy Pains, that sure doesn't hold up with 31 and Male. Oopsie on me!

zit was her death annivesary, was awash in Coulda- shoulda- would an wish she could have found out sooner wish she was still here to have a MGB, She was still obese so I suspect few doctors believed her symptoms, maybe Obesity blindness? At any rate I do wish everything goes well with your MGB and have a very wonderful recovery.

Ashley S, is it that like firmer Drug or Alcohol Addicts, we will always be Recovering Obese people? No matter what the outside people may see, we will always still know, there but for the Grace of God, go I! And there's my free analysis for Monday Morning.😛❤😛

And may your day be blessed also. Remember to update us when everything is concluded, we will be on tenterhooks until you do!

Well I have made it out to the living room and my Caramel protein shake with the Miralax stirred in. I think the companies make them so repulsive so you are willing to move on to other proteins, well I'm doing the best I can to keep Premier Protein and Abbot Labratories in business. Do you realize I have been on facets of this diet since August 1st 2018? Long time Passing, not over yet! Bariatric Team says my pouch, my jujenal ulcers will heal and then I will move on and be like Everyone Else. The fact I am a Limited Edition, never been Average or Normal, has no relevancy, am I correct? Went and looked at me in the mirror when I got up, well there I am! A non-fat face, slightly sallow, wrinkled and with sunk- in cheeks, moved to one side, the reflection moved too, so it has Got To Be Me! Surely don't Look like my ID picture anymore. But I am 214 pounds, better that than 365+ I once was. Maybe even the shallow people will love me pretty soon, they sure ignored the Obese me pretty well. I guess we were non- people then, and beneath their notice. Now if a guy whistles at me, it's either just air escaping or he's calling his Dog.

Sounds like a Plan, Stan!

Don't mind being Green if I Can be Smooth like that!

Are you still young enough to be hormonal? Maybe monthly water retained?, Yeah it should be okay, we all fluctuate, now if it were 20 pounds, somebody would be spanking YOU. We are all human beibgs, don't sweat all the small stuff, you will tie yourself up in "Nots". not this, not that. Just live and let IT go.
