I was just thinking, I been big my whole life.... I have never seen my face skinny other then early childhood photos. Some of the before and after photos on this website and youtube are amazing! Not knowing them personally I don't think I could have identified them as being the same people. Well one thing is for sure I'm going to be damn sexy.

Good attitude! I bet you will be damn sexy and great looking, too! My son had surgery almost 1 year ago, he looks a smaller version of himself. He hasn't looked as thin since maybe his high school pictures,(or jr hi). I 'll bet you will love the new you just fine,(and so will the ladies)!!!Best wishes, Karen

Damn right you are :) I feel the same way! I can't wait to wear a thong and hang from the chandeliers (ha ha ha). Not really, but you know what I mean!

My daughter told me the other day that she can't imagine what I would look like skinny. I thought about it for a minute and realized I couldn't either. I don't think I've ever been "skinny" and I don't think I ever will be, but I can't wait to be healthy and be able to shop at normal stores and wear a bathing suit in public!

      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!!
