Strangely energized. Related to this whole sleeve journey?



Recommended Posts

I woke up today, a little more than three months out and about 45 pounds lighter, with an unusual feeling of energy. I am generally very low key, very laid back, very . . . okay, let's say it . . . LAZY. Today, I was not a lazy slug. I didn't feel the need to sit, lay down, rest. In fact, it never crossed my mind to stop doing all of the things that needed doing. Laundry, dusting, vacuuming, errands, cooking. What the heck is going on here??? Have I been taken over by an alien life form? Has this happened to anyone else? Should I call Ghostbusters? :)

Totally normal, and it only gets better. I have a really hard time lounging on the weekends now. I just want to go go go, and the husband is not happy about it since he's a homebody, and works all week.

I am having the same reaction! I am much more active now and I feel like I'm always doing something around the house! Another reason I am so happy with the sleeve! :)

Hopefully I have that to look forward to - I'm still feeling a little lethargic at the moment but that might be the heat too!

I have had bursts of energy, too! It almost makes me feel like I'm getting a little manic! I've been doing yard work like crazy on the weekends and feeling like I've lost at least 10 years! The more I do, the stronger I get, the better I feel! I still feel tired sometimes, too, but I just try to pay attention to what my body wants/needs at the moment.

Ride the high!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
