My Story surgery on Feb 23rd 2016, post op 381, today 219.



Recommended Posts

Hey All, So today is a very special day... 1 year ago today my life changed forever. Yes... It is officially my Surgery Anniversary, and with a last push over the past few days I achieved what i thought was not possible. I lost 201 lbs in 1 year! My doctor was amazed at my visit, and they are going to do an article on me :) Although i am extremely proud of the weight loss, the more important lesson that i learned is that... Anything is possible! This year, i am going to make bigger changes, and just remember when i thought that being thin was not a possibility! 58af3cb6ba5f5_PinkShirt.thumb.jpg.b74665dda551173a1690adbcbd11f578.jpg 58af3cb7ee654_redShirt.thumb.jpg.4666c54a56fa413dc9b0c9c83009c225.jpg 180.thumb.jpg.94141f4f6e8a1e9b918534ad6e06665e.jpg

      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!!
