July Gastric Bypass?



Recommended Posts

@Nnoi Ana @ mercmerc, I lost a whole 4 more pounds since weight cue Nnoi yawning, she and Nnoi- mommy lost 15-20 pounds, true and a ❤felt goody for both tem. But chillun' remember I have the Basal metabolism rate of a fat slug on anti'-depressants. The lat time someone put me on a starvation level diet,i lost 1.5 lbs from all the Water I was taking in to fool my tummy into feeling full. Incidently it didn't work, I got a bang bang headache and cried a lot.
Having some stressors in my life, truth known i'm posting on BP to avoid my problems. It's the 4th of July and I doubt any answers are going to come. Landlord wants to evict,me, he thinks it means I just fade off into the sunset. No I've lived in Columbus, there Sherrod or police come to enforce the order, your possesions get set by the curbside, your reputation and credit rating get besmirched. Let,me tell you a story, my good friend and I were living,in Clintonville, south of Weber Rd, yeah nice area, white and upward moving blacks. There is all of her stuff sitting there, she is with it, than she realizes she has to take a bathroom break, it's a weekday and none of her neighbors are home, can't get back in her former home because she longer has a key, too much of a lady to go behind a bush etc. so she hikes down to a gas station on N High street, when she comes back she has lost her TV's , regular computer, only reason she didn't lose the laptop was she had it with her, when Mother Nature called she was trying to find alternate housing, luckily she was still in range of cable provider or Verizon and they hadn't found the wifi, it was located in a closet they happened not to check. A good portion,of her bedding although they did leave the wooden queensize bed frame. Do you think,I look forward to something like this? The last time I talked to,landlord who lives less than 15 miles from Indiana border, he would call it off if I would deposit $600 into his savings account, doesn't sound bad? it does when you get $900 a month Social Security and trying hard to stretch it. Subsidised housing? Can't get into senior housing because Tomkitten is under 65. One place has waiting list but will only accept 1 small pet, I have 2 indoor cats, which one do,i,throw away? They have done nothing wrong, why should one be sentenced to Cat Wefare? Metro in my county is so backlogged that don't even accept applications anymore, maybe in January 2019.I am used to a house now, don't know if I could stand neighbours right tight to me in Apartment living. Tomkitten and I want and need each other, when I need walking help, something heavy or two-person there he is. I'm happy to provide him shelter and cook for him. And now I do have my surgery,coming up, I must get through a major surgery,even many young people balk at. No i,know neither of you have, but you are creme de la creme of your generation as I am of mine.
At any rate if he harbors any delusion of taking me to small claims court let him try, I have photo documentation of the deteristion of these premises he has neglected to repair. In the 10 years since he inherited from his later I have consistent paid into his savings account $48,000. that is much,money the the market value of this house. If somebody was to buy here, they would not be paying for the house but the size of the land it stands on. He thinks its worth $45000, well Zillow, a real estate app says 34,000 tops. And if they saw the black mold. 95% unfinished basement, paneling,loosening, baseboards misiing, and the amount of plaster missing from ceilings and walls of upstairs bedrooms, no bank appraiser would okay it. I am certain homes on the Hilltop and King-Lincoln, even Merion Village are more structurally sound. No I have not nagged for repairs, but he inherited he made a walk-thru with his wife and clipboard, did he think perhaps things will heal themselves? I'm sorry I have rambled on so long but it seems like a D*** if you do, D***** if you don't situations. At one time I could go to an aunt my,parents or LL parents, now I'm the older generation. And it looks bleak, maybe a Hatitian family will adopt me, maybe they only clear $60 yearly but they also don't have the IRS.
Maybe after,today things will,look a little brighter?😣😛🚩

Howdy Cowboy Joe78260, if my handy zip code doesn't fail me you are in Bexar County, somewhere about San Antonio, am I right?
Let me quickly introduce myself. I'm Frustt8 self appointed "welcome wagon" for the Bypassers. After nearly 3 years of seeking ,August 2015-July2018, my long journey towards a RuN should conclude,this month. I live in Central Ohio, FYI the geographical center of Ohio, Centerburg, is in my county. Matter of fact,my,late mama graduated from there in 1935. I live in Mount Vernon, a city of 20,000 48 miles NE of Columbus where,i shall obtain my surgery. Still waiting on an exact date but I can hardly wait. If I had a tail, I wo7is be wagging,it and therein lies a tale. You see, I have always wanted a tail, well at least since age 5 when I announced my intention to grow one.Well that year I asked Santa Claus, didn't get,it for Christmas or my birthday the day afterward. Okay I said, I shall have to grow my own, imagine how disappointed I was when my family doctor said,i didn't even have a tail bud, like the horn buds I had seen,on calves. Pfooey, so I kept my desire,inside. Mind you. I wasn't planning a generic tail, I wanted a big fluffy one like a Persian Cat.Serves me right that,my youngest,wanted to be a duck. He did not want to,be a mallard, he felt that ring around,the neck might bind. he wanted to,be a big white duck! Told his poor grandma who had never gotten over me announcing at Prayer Meeting if everyone,would pray real hard, God would grant,me a tail. Shoot, hadn't Sister Jones said if you pray really hard God would grant you the desires of your❤, swore I heard her say that at Sunday School. Then 20 some years later her darling grandbaby boy,wants to be a duck! Caused her to fan herself real hard , yep sure did!
Anyway, welcome , any questions,that you need,answered, just ask. We,love helping,here.😛

Hi Brownidamy4,

I am 4 days post op, and having trouble getting in all the liquids I'm supposed to. I am also very fatigued in the evenings. Anybody else having these issues, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Faith73,
So glad you’re doing well and not needing the pain meds. I’m still needing pain meds off and on. But I think that is mainly from where they removed my gallbladder. Today I had a little trouble getting fluids to stay down. I wasn’t nauseous or in any pain. It was strange...it just wouldn’t go all the way down and like made a u turn. Still focusing on walking and rest though. Hopefully fluids will start staying down a little later. Good luck to you! I hope the pain keeps staying away for you!

I started the liquid phase on the 5th. The liquid has not been an issue as I normally drink 64oz. The headaches are there but not enough to stop me. I have no body aches.

The hard part is learning to eat 3 ounces of meat and a cup of vegetables and making it last a half hour. I have my first Protein Shake at 10am, egg beaters at 2PM and a small meal at 7PM. The hunger pains went away yesterday. I hope to keep myself busy today and tomorrow so I can stay full. I am staying around 600 calories a day.
I was having stomach trouble so the doctor allowed me a small meal instead of the second Protein shake.

My anxiety is getting stronger so I am starting to get nasty. The walking has been hard as I have leg pain but I am averaging 2500 steps a day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
