Recommended Posts

so this week i was a little ill because it the end of the month and i had only drop 8 pounds i try to average ten pounds a month. so anyway it left me sour right not i'm 191 and i was hoping to be 189 to keep my self on goal. but anyway i was in biology class (not really paying attention i bet you thrilled to know i not going to school to be a doctor:lol0:) when we open our books and right there was a picture of what a pound of fat looked like!!! i was like wow!!! all that!!! i was sooo amazed i'm like i drop 130 pounds of that so far!!! 40more to go!!!! after i left i ran to the store to find me a model but i could not find one so i order one offline. it not here yet but here what it looks like.() so after see something like that i take what i lost this month and be glad i'm dropping that! so everytime you lose a pound for the week just remind yourself "well at least i don't have that to carry around anymore!!"

xoxo,

Ewwwwwwwwwwwy, but oh so true Nikki ! ! !

My orthopedic surgeon told me that for every pound we lose, that we relieve something like 11 pounds per square inch off our weight-bearing joints like our knees and ankles. So just imagine how much relief your knees and ankles are feeling at this point in your journey? ? ? I know my knees don't even hurt anymore. They still make funky, bone on bone noises with some exercises, and extremely extended amounts of walking, but no more pain. It's absolutely amazing.

Thanks for sharing your biology lesson with us. It definitely puts things into perspective for us.

      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!!
