Hello fellow veterans,

Ooh. It feels good to be a veteran! Hello! Hello! Just wanted to say "hey". I've been away for a while. All is well and I am still loving the fact that I made this decision.

Hope all of you are still kicking butt.

BEST,

Amy

Congrats on your weight loss. It looks like we were sleeved on the same day. I just celebrated my 1 year surgerversary yesterday too. And had my 1 year check up yesterday as well. :)

Maintenance so far has been fine. I still don't own a scale--don't believe in daily weight checks. I see my dietician and doctors regularly and always insist on "weighing in". Otherwise, tracking on MFP and the way my clothes feel works well for me. I have found my dietician and my surgeon sometimes disagree slightly. I had my 1 year checkup with my surgeon today, and she tells me 900-1100 calories is still a good goal for me. My dietician would rather see me eat 1500 calories, but has less experience with WLS. I am trying to keep the floodgates closed, so I only occasionally have a cookie, or a piece of toast. I would like to work my way up to 5-6 servings of fruit and veggies again, but it is challenging, given my sleeve.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
