The landscape is so beautiful!

I love the ocean. This was July 4

I have my date I got it today ! July 9th

Do any of you feel like this? Hopefully soon my surgery will be finished and I start my liquid diet.

Hi y’all! Fair warning, I’m posting PUI (posting under the influence) right now! 😳🥳🤩🤪🥰😂🤣😅😇
Seems I had a serious case of the fomos this week with @GreenTealael having her upcoming VSG to RNY surgery for GERD and @Alex Brecher having his RNY reversal for bowel obstructions/necrosis. I just had to wrap up a pending tri-fecta! LOL
What I thought was a serious case of food poisoning — or as I like to say, “When good refrigerator roulette goes bad”...was actually a sudden onset of internal hernia with twisted gut. It came on so quickly Sunday night and by Tuesday I couldn’t eat. And Wednesday ended up curled up on a cold tile (filthy) floor in the ER convinced I was dying, moaning, sweating profusely and making quite a spectacle! My only regret is I didn’t have a tip jar handy to earn a few quarters!!
It’s a risk of WLS that is part of less than 3% total for complications after surgery—so no need to fear complications from WLS. To put in perspective that 3% is lower than the national averages for all sorts of surgeries!!!
I’m 17 months out from RNY and was just so super surprised by this new development! But initial surgery went very well! I went into surgery at 12 midnight and was back in my room after recovery by 3:45am! Woot! I have a rockstar surgeon and team who were able to do it all laporoscopically!
She said if I play my cards right and am able to eat something later today and get my walking in that I can probably go home late this afternoon! Yeah, baybee!!!
Now I just have to proactively start medicating to guard against having a Rosemary’s Baby sort of post op poo! 😞😥
i’m so grateful to everyone and for our Bariatric Pal Family! Thanks Alex for creating such a special place!
(Oh and I don’t recommend doing it this way, but this morning was back to being only 3.4lbs away from final Goal #3 of 130lbs!!! Woohoo! With my post op plan progression in place I expect to shed this post surgical Fluid weight gain in a couple of weeks and reach Goal #3!)

Happiness is when we stop comparing ourselves to others.

It is nearly impossible to love others without loving and respecting yourself first!

Few jokes lol! Enjoy!

That's a good goal to work toward is improving one's self and not measuring yourself by others but by an improved, better you.

It's hard to make others understand but if we listen to others will be in the same spot next year. We just need a little help and the surgery is what we have chose to get healthy by. You'll do fine and later he'll be so proud how you took charge of taking care of you. I pray your surgery goes well with not much pain.

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. All that your saying I know is true in my heart. To but it into action and get it in my head is another thing. They say the battlefield is our minds if we can get that in control how much we really can accomplish. They say the most successful people were rejected and rejected but they bet that and changed the world. So why can't we also do it. I step at a time I am coming to make it. Thank you Thank you!!!

So glad you wrote. You know what everyone is to be accepted but when your whole life you been made fun of, it's hard not to fear what people think and be a little insecure. I have seen a therapist for about 4yrs, not the same one but have been undercare. I also see a provider who writes my prescriptions. But not once have anyone work through my past, my weight and feeling not to smart and don't measure up. I read a lot of self help books so I have encouraged myself along the way. Also working on self mentally, physically and spiritually. Which is always directing me and us all if we realize we are all special in God's eyes and he has purpose for us to fulfill a destiny to run the race for. This surgery is all part of the journey. Waiting for my surgeon to submit my papers to the insurance and then hopefully a date. Glad to have friend's on Bastricpal to talk too. Thanks for writing to me LL1982.
