Amazed What I Saw In The Mirror



Recommended Posts

This is the first time I really went shopping for clothes since I had surgery last December. I have bought a few thing here or there but haven't taken a ton of things in the dressing room. I decided today was the day I was gonna find out my true new size. I took things that would have fit me before surgery and things I thought would be way too small. It was amazing to see how big they were from the size I used to be. The size I ended up at that fit me I started crying because I didn't think it was possible that they would fit but they did and now they are hanging in my closet. I haven't until today realized how much I have really changed. Its amazing how the outside of us change but it takes so much longer for our brains to caught up with it. It made my day to see how far I have came and I am not done yet. Watch out world I.am coming back alive!!!

I shopped last weekend. Didn't know what size to shop for since for the last 10 years I've just bought 38-40 pants with an elastic band. I ended up at 34 with no stretchy band. Awesome aint it?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
