Where did my body go? - ramblings



Recommended Posts

I have been struggling with clothes being too big. Before I moved, I bought some size that were too small and shipped them. By the time they arrived, they fit.

I just got an order from Walmart - and I now wear size 8s. Do you know how little they look? And they fit? What happened? where did my body go? How did I not notice this?

I can't wait to post a picture....but how do you approach a stranger and ask them to take a picture of you?

It is so strange to try and remember to eat when my life used to revolve around food.

Just rambling in Africa. Celeste

It just shows how infrequently we really "look" at ourselves doesnt it? We see what we always saw and forget to really enjoy how far we've come.

I was hanging up my jeans the other night and they didnt look "right" to me either, way to small!

Woo! That must be a great feeling. I have some clothes that I bought that I just packed up today for a move... they're waaay too small too, and I can't fathom the idea that something that small will ever fit me! (they're 'women's tshirts' in 'large' and they still look so tiny)

Yeah! We need pictures!

Does your camera have a timer maybe?

WOW_ Africa- Its my dream land!!!!! I would move in a heart beat!!!! I ahve been there before & well I actaully felt like I was me for the first time ever.

What an amazing feeling you must be going through- a size 8!!!!! I can only dream. Can't wait to see your photos. As to asking a stranger- go ahead & do it- you'll probably never see them again any how;0)

      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!!
