Not to be outdone by Dub, my 6 month surgiversary!



Recommended Posts

Can't be outdone by Dub , here's my 6 month progress report.

I was 276 at my heaviest that I know of anyways. Was having knee problems, back, sleep apnea, borderline hypertension, high cholesterol, and was headed down the diabetes road fast. Most of those are gone, no more sleep apnea or blood pressure issues, knee still has a little bit to go, but it is better.

I've gone from a size 44 pants and 2XL shirt to a 34 in pants and large shirt.

I've been training for a 5k, which I did this morning, 6 months after my sleeve surgery. Finished just under 30 minutes! So glad I've gone this route of gastric sleeve!post-261380-14620635155147_thumb.jpg

Ryan and all the other studly dudes ... congratulations to you. You are all doing so well.

I can't run anymore (thought I could, but those days are past). So I am jealous of your trotting around out there. And I love, really love, your shirt.

Looking good, Ryan!

I thought you guys were always having "piss'n " contests, not weight loss contests. :)

Both of you look "maaavelous", Daaalings.

Both of you are great examples on how this weight loss "Thing" should and can be done.

I'm having rather a "proud momma" moment! :) (OK, so I'm old)

Great Job!

You don't need my prayers, but there they go-- straight up!

      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!

        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!!
