Idahospud. That is a great goal. And it is so fool when you can do it the 1st time I was able to. It was like wow. This is awesome. I can't wait for Feb 7th 2015. That is the day I will be marrying my wonderful fiancee. A little about us. She had her sleeve July 30th 2013. She has lost about 145 lbs. I had my surgery DEC 26th 2013. We met on this web site early Jan 2014. After meeting in person we started dating. I proposed to her Saturday sept 21st. I had my 9 month post op check up Friday sept26th. Both prrop and post op. I have lost a total of 245 lbs. 180 of it coming post op. I can't wait for tomorrow and everyday after. What an amazing new life we are embarking on!! Woop woop!! Everyone keep the faith. The days of doom and gloom are gone. Stay positive and you will achieve what ever you want!! Life is a journey not a destination. And like the late Jim Valvano said. Don't give up. Don't ever give up!!

I'm looking forward to curing my sleep apnea. Wait! My sleep apnea *is* cured. I just found out this week. Now I need to look forward to clothes that will fit me for more than a month or two!

This surgery was such a wonderful choice and you too have so many wonderful benefits to look forward to. Some benefits you know about, some will just dawn on you.

Best of luck!

1.) Water parks

2.) scuba diving

3.) running

3.) summer outside

4.) bending over to pick something up without "strategically planning" how I'm going to get back up

5. Breathing when I tie my shoe

6.) throwing away my slip on sandals

7.) wiping my ass without going through contortions ( TMI?). :)

I can't wait to fit in the seats for all the roller coasters when I go to Dollywood with my entire family this coming Spring. We went this past April and I could only fit on two of them and I felt terrible.

I love these types of posts.

I can't wait to: chase and keep up with my little 5 year old daughter. Scuba dive again - 1 more logged dive and I hit 100 dives! Trying a rock climbing wall. Running again. Getting checked out! Getting healthy and not fearing the doctors scale or blood pressure cuff. Looking in the mirror and being pleased with what I see. Having to buy a smaller size. Not hogging up an entire doorway entry.....

      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!!
