Total attention whore post Before and after



Recommended Posts

So, this week marks a pretty awesome point in my WLS journey.

I started my WLS journey with the band at 270lbs, sleeve revision at 263lbs, and today I'm weighing in at 135.

I've lost literally half of pre-op self ! ! !

Just thought this is a really awesome moment for me so I thought I would share.

I bought new skinny jeans this week from Rue 21, they're a size 8/9 and they are way smaller than my other 9's in the closet. I seriously love my sleeve.

For those of you debating this surgery, do it. I couldn't be happy with my sleeve. I couldn't imagine living the life I'm living today.

You look awesome. I showed pictures to my husband - he can't wait for my weightloss phase to be over. (I'm trying to believe he was just thinking of me thin & not looking at how smokin'hot you are! LOL)

Thank you all so very much. Today was probably one of the best days I've had in a really long time.

Mentally, I feel so much better, not even going to try to lie that the physical stuff that is a huge pay-off, but the mental aspects of this post-op life is the biggest pay-off.

I love each and every one y'all. I feel like I have a second family with y'all. I appreciate all your kind words, and thank you from the depths of my heart for all of your continued support and encouragement.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
