I learned to LOVE being the bad guy...It was so refreshing after having to deal with my own wicked step mother...I was a damn sight better than her at it but still....Now that they are all living on their own and have a million kids of their own....I'm loving it even more...

Embrass the dark side..They may never love you but hey, that's fine too.

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

I don't give a rat's ass about what they think.

I resent having to do it in the first place, since they have living parents and I live in another goddamn state.

WTF girlfriend? You know it's just the cake and donut you ate on Saturday.

(Now aim for the lights, bumpers, doors, and windows. And make sure you run it over with the tank I'll have planted (but remember to wear the gloves and hair net in it) - I could totally use the total loss settlement right now. Just remember dark car! dark car!).

Wow girl. That's really ****ty. I think I'd be wondering what the frakking hell I was gonna do too. I've got nothing to offer you but an ear to lend if you ever need to vent. You sure have been through the wringer I tell ya. Jesus H Christ.

Sigh....

I have nothing new to say that was not already said. I think that the work, the kids, the having to be your own medical advocate----all very stressful.

I can only empathize.

((((hugs))))

Jesus Shari.

Fuck the donut and half piece of cake. You owned it, you freaking planned for it.

Fuck the scale, it is only serving to make you feel worse about whatever is going on in your innards.

Do you require referrals to doctors? If not - just go - is a liver a gastroenterologists thing?

"Pale Stool

Stool that is pale or grey may be caused by insufficient bile output due to conditions such as cholecystitis, gallstones, giardia parasitic infection, hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or cirrhosis. Bile salts from the liver give stool its brownish color. If there is decreased bile output, stool is much lighter in color."

Already WENT, Monday. He said, "Oh, it can be any number of things." I KNOW It's my liver tanking. Sometimes you just know.

Then I came home to the damn ghost poop again. GRR! WHat the **** do I have to lose MORE time from work and hear "Oh it can be any number of things" AGAIN?

Sick of this **** Truly. No goddamn continuity of care in this mess, and you know what I am talking about.

If your doctor is saying "Oh, it can be any number of things" and leaving it at that, get a new doctor. If he is saying that AND running additional tests, well, that's what he's supposed to do. If he won't help you, find a doc who will. A new PCP, your bariatric surgeon, a NEW bariatric surgeon - somebody more aggressive. Srsly. Be your own best advocate here.
